An Unreal Engine app that just renders a Chromium page as far as I understand. Essentially using their own version of Electron made using the guts of one of the most complex game engines. Truly an unholy abomination.
It probably doesn’t though. Obviously it’s closed source making it harder to tell what’s actually happening, but there’s nothing stopping security analysts from looking at network usage and such. I would imagine that Google doesn’t install a keylogger on every Android phone, not out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they don’t want the bad publicity and lawsuits when it would inevitably be discovered.
New York really needs to get their shit together. They have the most anomalous memory zones of anywhere in the country. I don’t even get the logic of running the metro in a deja vu area. If this continues, they risk a mass memory incident where the entire city gets forgotten. Hell, I don’t even remember the name of my cousin who lives there.
One of Discord’s targets is web, and I don’t think there is another good UI toolkit that could maintain that target with easy feature parity. Some UI toolkits like Godot (which is a game engine) are capable of targeting web using a canvas element, but that’s probably not going to be as performant or as native feeling as a standard website. They could also use a separate code base, but then there would be large feature parity issues. They could also drop the web target, but that might make it harder for users who don’t have permission to install software or use Chrome OS.
I feel like Discord is one of the examples where Electron makes sense. If only they allowed third party apps so desktop users who don’t care about having every feature can have a better experience.
Reference to the video game Baba is You. I haven’t played it but it but you essentially reprogram aspects of the game by moving blocks around. From what I understand, to win you must move whatever block “is you” to whatever block “is win” the player made itself “is win” leaving nothing for “is you” heanse being “youless” a pun on this meme normally saying clueless.
From what I understand, when the directory was added VR, MR, and 3d printing were just becoming more main stream. It is easy to see why some at Microsoft believed that an easy to use modeling applications like Microsoft 3d Builder would be as essential as Microsoft Paint. With hindsight, we can see that 3d printing is still too complicated and not useful enough for the average computer user and most VR users are either content to use models from others or to use more complicated tools like Blender.
It’s a bit annoying that the Reddit mods are reopening the community after moving a bunch of people elsewhere. Now we have a Raddle, Lemmy, Discord, and Reddit 196 each with different moderators.
Considering the Reddit has almost 50 times the number of subscribers as the Lemmy, I would assume that will be the most popular one, though we will probably have a higher percent of active users.
I would hope that eventually the different mods of the different 196s could do some form of cross-site collaboration to have unity between the 196s but I don’t know what that could entail. Maybe the next 196 r/place could shout out the Lemmy community for example.
I joined the discord at some point and it was too fast to pay attention so I left. It definitely seems like a different platform for a community like this.
I suddenly have a little widget called Eruda on Lemmy pages and cannot seem to disable, and did not install this myself. Any ideas? Not sure where else to post.
I see it on both Firefox for Android and Firefox for Linux when browsing this instance. It does not appear on Lemmy.World for example. It also does not appear to use the browser’s dev tools as I am able to open both Firefox’s native dev tools and Eruda at the same time and they look different.
I’ve honestly like my Chromecast as I can watch legally obtained media and pirated media on the same box. VLC also has native support for streaming to Chromecast. I remember it was a pain to setup for some reason, but I haven’t had many issues since then.
Going to Lemmy to complain about “left-wing extremists” is kind of funny especially since the instance’s only real political stance is promoting gay/trans rights.
This was such a bizarre move. You’d think if they bothered to make an ama, they’d use it to announce a compromise or something, otherwise why bother? What was accomplished by the ama on Reddit’s part?

Even after all these years firefox keeps using mozilla hidden directory instead of XDG base directories. For how long will this continue?...
