Incidentally the same labels make Gmail fundamentally incompatible with the way IMAP works causing lots of weirdness whenever you use any standard email client not specifically designed for Gmail.

How does an offline installer from GOG differ from the offline installer provided on a CD/DVD?

This is equally true for almost any game ever sold, including physical ones. You only ever own a license that specifies what you can and cannot do with the game. The difference is in what this license is tied to, for example either a physical copy of a given game or an account that can be remotely deactivated taking away all your games. In GOG’s case once you grab the installer, the game license cannot be easily forcibly revoked, just as with the physical copy.

I’d even argue public votes can deescalate some situations, for example where both sides of a relatively heated discussion can see they vote each other up. They don’t necessarily agree but they appreciate the other side’s points.

As for the transparency, it’s not possible to list all the votes of a user, one rather needs to list votes on a given post. To profile a given user the attacker would need to cross-reference the data from all posts and comments which is computationally infeasible, both client-side and server-side.

On Kbin the votes are 100% public for anyone. I’ve migrated to Lemmy after the frequent server issues with Kbin and I miss that part dearly. It was very easy to gauge whether someone was engaging in a good or bad faith discussion by checking the votes within a discussion. That being said, personally I’m very light on my downvotes, and I can see how someone more trigger-happy would see it as worrying. Personally I see the vote transparency as healthy though.

Personal hygiene is one big reason for me, though obviously there are smaller options than a full multitool like a small Swiss army knife. I just need a small pair of scissors on me 24/7, that’s not negotiable.

Having a basic screwdriver always with me also helps from time to time. Sometimes as a screwdriver, sometimes as a small crowbar.

Ironically, the first thing I would ditch from my multitools and Swiss army knives would be the blade. Scissors do most things I need just as well or better, and the blade is just a liability in lots of jurisdictions.

Nothing screams “RESPECT!” as loud as the fear of physical violence.

And what do the companies take away from this? “Cool, we just won’t leave you any other options.”

I guess if that’s how it works for you, sure. For me it’s upvote if funny, nothing if meh and downvote if downright malicious (bigotry, toxic behavior etc.). I don’t think I gave out more than 10 downvotes on Lemmy during this whole year. Though I can see how this post might qualify for the “bigotry or toxic” category, but I’m willing to give it a benefit of doubt.

That being said, if you have a different policy, who am I to judge.

If you feel the need to downvote everything merely not deserving an upvote, then yes, you need to chill.

Definitely not true, but still a hilarious meme. People downvoting this need to chill.

Because he’s good at playing outlaws, duh. /s

Oh hell no, we don’t need THREE major active conflicts!

Subsidise how? They were using their existing plan as intended and even willing ditch the grey-area parts. If CF cannot afford to offer their plans as they are, they should change the offered plans, not hunt for easy prey.

With some sprinkle of libraries such as anyhow and thiserror the Rust errors become actually pleasant to use. The vanilla way is indeed painful when you start handling more than one type of error at a time.

Go is like that abusive partner that gives you flowers and the next day makes you feel like shit. Then another day you go to an expensive restaurant and you tell yourself that maybe it’s not so bad and they still care. And the cycle continues.

Rust is an autistic partner that sometimes struggles with telling you how much they care, is often overly pedantic about technical correctness and easily gets sidetracked by details, but with some genuine effort from both sides it’s very much a workable relationship.

I have nothing against veganism as a dietary decision, I’m actually seriously considering it for health reasons and for easier food preparation.

I am sick of veganism as a moral high horse, especially with hypocrisy in the background. I have a friend constantly ordering stuff, including vegan ingredients, from Amazon of all places. If he’s going to low-key admonish me for hurting animals, I’d expect him to care about the Amazon warehouse employees to a similar degree. Unless it’s all just posturing.

As if! I’m sure lots of neurodivergent people would disagree with half of these points.

A non-American here. Can you explain why it is considered a political suicide? Do the votes like Israel so much or what?
