infinitepcg,

It is digital because it has digits instead of pointers. It is also digital in the sense that it has discrete states.

infinitepcg,

The video exagerates it a bit. But it is audible. Of course the clock will only move once a minute.

infinitepcg,

Yes, absolutely. Just needs one motor per digit.

infinitepcg,

Yep, but I made mine first 😬 I believe we were both inspired by the work of Karakurist.

infinitepcg,

I got that idea from this design.

infinitepcg,

that will make some people immensely rich

Not sure what this means. Most satelites make everyone a little bit richer (weather, GPS, communication satelites).

it’s up to the cooperation of countries to research, mitigate, and control it

I would argue that companies SpaceX have a lot to lose from space debris. If space becomes inaccessible, they can’t do any business. They do a lot to mitigate space debris (especially with Starlink), and this is rational because too much space debris threatens their mission.

infinitepcg,

This looks like an embarrassing mistake. If someone were to try to “tank” Twitter, it wouldn’t really make sense to do this on purpose.

infinitepcg,

It’s not a matter of intelligence, these people just have different priorities.

infinitepcg,

Sure, but they also need to be on a platform that people actually use. I agree that there are lots of reasons against Discord, but my point is, they didn’t choose Discord because of a lack of intelligence.

Helldivers 2’s Politics Appear To Be Flying Over The Heads Of Some (www.forbes.com)

There is currently a very funny, kind of sad dust-up over Helldivers 2, in which self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers have previously heralded it as a rare game where they believe “politics” does not play a factor. Their faith was been shaken by an Arrowhead community manager they believed they found to be (gasp)...

The game does of course have a political message, but I think there is a slightly different take that could have merit. The “political” part of the game is to make fun of the interventionist foreign policy of the US. This was a major culture war issue from the 80s to the 2000s, but since the 2010s, the culture wars have shifted towards identity politics. The ‘self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers’ are right in pointing out that Helldivers avoids these topics.

infinitepcg,

The political ideas you can find on Reddit are much more diverse. There is usually at least some pushback against some of the most deranged statements.

infinitepcg,

Does this game need client-side anticheat at all? It’s not PvP, so if you’re cheating, you just ruin the experience for yourself and maybe your teammates. But as far as I know, there are no rankings and not really any competition.

infinitepcg,

If you want to shoot your teammates, you can do that just fine without an aimbot

infinitepcg,

fwiw, that screen is called “lock screen”

infinitepcg,

my comment looks stupid because OP made a (sensible) edit to their question. Before the edit, OP was asking how to rotate the lock screen without using the word “lock screen”

infinitepcg, (edited )

If the live version is already broken, there isn’t much to lose deploying the fix as soon as possible. Not sure what else they could have done here.

infinitepcg,

You can remove things from your watch history

infinitepcg,

This is it. Lemmy users are completely unaware of the extent to which they are not like normal people.

infinitepcg,

That’s kind of the point. There was a time in the 2010s when each new device could do something that they couldn’t previously do. But it seems like the market has figured out what people want from their phones and that’s what they are getting now.

I got a callback from one of the many job application (finally), had to complete a task (I didn't even get started), and I think that the requirements were pretty unreasonable?

It was an internship for a full-stack developer role. I was given two days - today is the final day, and I did not even start with the project as I was too stressed to complete the task, worrying about designing and modelling the database part, and because I have a really vague idea about system design. The skill requirements...

infinitepcg,

I also think that the task is unreasonable, but at the same time I can’t imagine that this is of any use to the company. What are they going to do with a “LinkedIn clone” made in two days that they don’t even have the IP rights to?

infinitepcg,

It’s incorrect in the sense that the statement implies that there is a kind of ownership distinct from owning a license that is denied to users. But this isn’t possible. The only way to own intellectual property (games, books, music) is to have a license to it.

infinitepcg,

All console games have DRM that tries to prevent users from copying it or using it on different hardware

I don’t like DRM either, but this misses the point about ownership. For example, if a law says your house may not have more than two people living in it, you can still own it, even if you don’t like the limitations that it has.

infinitepcg,

This obviously falls into the “documentaries and essays” category
