Can you imagine being the hamster?

Like you think you got some food or something for your nest, and you being it back, and suddenly this magic force attaches you to the cage.
I wonder if the hamster knew it the force came from the thing in it’s mouth, or if it thought some unfathomable invisible being just reached out and stuck it there.

Aren’t there whole studies on how they’ll do exactly that?

A good time 😏

He isn’t wrong. Your bucket of bolts is gonna rattle tf apart on that road.

No matter how much pasta you make, you’re obligated to eat it in a single sitting.
This is the way.
This is the way I die.

I only see one title and one post body; what happens if 3 people share the same link but with 3 different titles and description bodies?

Do they get merged, does one get arbitrarily selected, or does this only work on posts with identical link+title+body?

You can never trust Big Number.

They keep trying to make laws without going through Congress or the Senate.

But they were still users who were active in that half-year, so even when they went offline it shouldn’t have resulted in a dip

This is a boomer ass take

This graph doesn’t make sense to me. The drops on the two graphs shouldn’t line up, right? Make me sus

That’s a very reddit thing to say

I’m gonna be a bit rude here because you’re not reading what I wrote.

I did not say that such apps cannot be updated, I said that they’re not updated through a central update manager. So I don’t give a flying fuck if you implemented your own custom app updater in your app because that’s clearly and explicitly not what I’m talking about.

I also don’t give a fuck about throwing config files all over the place, since a) the uninstall script takes care of that and b) this doesn’t have to be specific to windows. Having an installer doesn’t mean that configs must be thrown everywhere. Afaict apt-get isn’t throwing files everywhere.

Again I don’t really give a fuck about windows, but saying it hat it’s not possible because people don’t use the tool that makes it possible is fucking inane bullshit. Idk why you think the windows store “sucks” and I don’t really give a fuck, it works fine as a user, even if I don’t personally use it.

Cool, that doesn’t help because I don’t actually want blender.

I’m commenting on how much I hate when software is provided as just a portable executable.

I know that a lot of the time they’re also provided as flatpaks or debs or in snap or windows app store, or Apple app store, etc.
But I’m talking about doing the thing that is being described in the image: unpacking a portable executable.

Not really moot, no.

A portable executable can have neither of those things. It also won’t show up in the start menu app list.

With an installer, it’ll at least show up in the uninstaller, with an install size that I can see when I’m looking to uninstall things, and it’ll at least show up in the app list.

But they could also package it through the app store where you get all that plus centralized update management.
But I’d be happy with just having it show up in the app list and uninstaller.

I know I don’t NEED an uninstaller. I want to use the uninstaller I already have for all my other apps.

Let me have a consistent user experience.
Automatically figure out the right spot for the app resources and set the appropriate file permissions.
Show up in the list of installed applications, so I can sort them by size, if I’m running out of space.
Don’t make me jump through hoops or know the magical directory I need to put it in, in order to have it show up in the start menu or app drawer.

Hot take: I hate when software just extracts an executable.
Fucking install it so that it’s registered with the software updater and uninstaller. Don’t make me remember that I have to go hunting in the folder to delete this one app.

Imo we should go a step up from that:

Communities should define their own categories, and identify certain categories as CW.
Then clients could opt to auto-hide/blur those categories, and provide per-category overrides.

Last time I tried to post something, using voyager, I didn’t even see the option to flag as NSFW, idk if it’s community specific or if this client simply doesn’t support it.

I was expecting to see another Loss meme

Imo this is a failing of Lemmy itself. There needs to be a way to tag content under certain (community-specific?) categories, without needing to put a bunch of shit in the title.
