ohto,

Ori is my favorite Metroidvania series by far, and I love Metroidvanias. The most incredible feat is that the second installment actually surpassed the first. The first Ori was amazing. It was stunningly beautiful, had a compelling story, and the gameplay mechanics were fantastic.

For Ori 2 I would have been happy with more of the same. They didn’t have to try to reinvent anything, and yet they did in Wisps. Every tweak they made was for the better. The interface/mechanics changes rounded off rough edges I didn’t even realize were there. The story remained engaging and touching, and it had a real arc. And the graphics are even more stunning. I remember playing Wisps for the first time and just standing still and being amazed at the graphics. My character was standing still, and yet the entire screen was alive with movement. I was standing on a branch, and the branch was slowly bouncing with my weight. The leaves were gently blowing in the wind. Blades of grass were swaying. It was incredible.

The two Ori games are some of the best games of any genre I’ve ever played. Big fan, and I’m excited by that studio’s next game.

What?? That’s a month away. That feels really unprofessional and doesn’t foster trust in the company, which is really important when you’re in the security field.

When I heard the news about killing the desktop apps in August I immediately started transitioning my accounts to use the TOTP authenticator built into Bitwarden. Now I’m really glad I did.

ohto,

Really? Interesting. I thought he was miscast. He’s got too many Jim Carey vibes for my taste.

ohto,

I guess I’m not a marketing guy, but why is it a good idea to discard the Bard brand that has at least some name recognition at this point, and replace it with Gemini, which is an arbitrary name. It’s not like they decided, “hey, not enough people know what Bard is, so let’s call it Google AI”. Gemini is just different, not better.

And the advanced vs Pro vs Ultra thing is silly as well. Just tell me which one I have to pay for. Something like Gemini and Gemini Pro would be more obvious to the layman.

Like I said, I’m not a marketing genius, so I’m sure I’m being naive. It just doesn’t seem like an improvement, and it causes brand confusion. At least to me.

ohto,

You can make this a macro and trigger it with just a hot key.

Select Start Recording in the Macro menu. Open the search dialog, in the “Find what” field just type three characters: “:.*” (that’s a colon, period, and asterisk). In the “Replace with” field enter just a single colon. Switch search mode to “Regular expression”, and make sure “matches new line” box is not checked, and hit Replace All.

Now Stop Recording in the Macro menu, and then Save Current Recorded Macro. Give it a name and optionally a hot key, and note you can run it from the Macro menu or the hot key.

Avelon 1.0.6 - community groups, GIF scrubbing, app themes, filtering tools, custom app icons and much more (apps.apple.com)

Hey everyone! For more than a month now I’ve been working hard on the biggest update to Avelon so far. Today I’m really excited to announce that it’s finally out on the App Store! The update includes a whole bunch of cool new features for people who want that little extra and QOL improvements all-around....

ohto,

I agree. I bought Apollo instantly because the value was there. At $30 I’m going to hang back and see how the app fleshes out, but if I’m not getting features like GIF scrubbing in the meantime, I’m probably going to find an alternative. At $10 I would have hit the buy button immediately.

Oh, and I hate subscriptions. I’m never going to subscribe to an app. Just tell me what it costs and I’ll buy it if it’s worth it.

ohto,

I want to be excited about this, but I just don’t believe I’ll actually be able to get one for retail price. For much of the RP4 lifecycle they prioritized corporate sales, and regular consumers were out of luck. I don’t have a lot of faith in them right now.

ohto,

I’ve been a Prime member from the very beginning, but I’m seriously reevaluating whether I should drop it. The value proposition is decreasing for me. At $99 I thought it was pretty good considering the perks like video and music. But then they crippled Prime Music a few months back so it’s a shadow of what it once was (pushing you to subscribe to Unlimited). Now Prime Video is getting ads. Those “extras” are becoming less compelling. So I’m paying $140 annually for just free shipping? Hmmm, these numbers don’t add up anymore.

ohto,

So you’re using Markdown cells for notes and not using code cells at all? This is a strange choice. It seems like just writing Markdown in a text editor, Markdown editor, or even an IDE with Markdown rendering would be better options. If you want to output the Markdown to other formats, pandoc is all you need. I’m not sure what advantage Jupyter gives you in this use case.

ohto,

This was the most baffling statement. They literally just took control of some subreddits weeks ago. Do they really lack any self awareness?

ohto,

Over 17 years, my cake day is December 2005. I deleted all my posts and comments and came to Lemmy. I haven’t deleted the account yet simply because I still pop in to read stuff occasionally, but I’m done posting over there.

ohto,

If it isn’t on purpose, then they have a bug that is restoring comments. My main account is 18 years old. Cake Day is December 2005. I deleted it all, and then I checked from multiple devices to ensure when I logged in it was all gone, and it was. Until it wasn’t. I had about 100 random comments from 2013 to 2022 come back. So I manually deleted them all… again. And then a few days later, suddenly different comments are back. I must have repeated this deletion process 4-5 times. Each time, Reddit’s interface (not a third party script or app) showed me everything was gone… until it wasn’t.

They have some automated recovery going on whether they want to admit it or not.

ohto,

Okay, now that’s a plausible explanation. Some of those subs may have been private and coming back online over several days. Thanks for the insight.

ohto,

I just downloaded it and used it for a bit, and I’m really impressed. It is going to be fantastic once the rest of the basic features are added. I currently can’t upvote comments in Bean (is it just me??), so I probably won’t be using it much yet, but I can already tell it will be my preferred Lemmy client.

ohto,

I’ve been using Bitwarden for years now, and I really enjoy the seamless experience across platforms. I use Windows at work, Mac/Linux/Windows at home, I also have an iPhone, iPad, Android tablets, and a Chromebook. Bitwarden works great everywhere. I originally chose it because it’s open source so I could host it myself if I wanted to.

I actually pay for Premium ($10/year) because I wanted to use FIDO hardware keys, but you also get 1GB for encrypted file attachments, which is handy.

BitWarden does everything I want, so I have a hard time considering paying far more for 1Password which does the same thing.

ohto,

Glad to see CotEditor getting more attention. It’s such a great solution for those light-to-moderate editing needs. It’s the Mac equivalent of Notepad++ on Windows. If I just want to read a text file, write a short shell script, or make a quick edit, it’s perfect.

If I’m spending any serious time programming, I’m in VSCode, which is also excellent. The Mac support is fantastic, and it is a seamless experience jumping from VSCode on Windows to VSCode on Mac. Big fan.

ohto,

Yes! You would think 2-3 seconds shouldn’t be a big deal, but it feels like an eternity when I just want to see what’s in the file.
