I hope this saves the world economy if the US defaults on its debt, which is looking increasingly likely in the coming decades…

This has to be a record for the most downvoted comment on Lemmy, holy moly. This is a huge absolute margin even for reddit.

I stopped using BeReal a few months ago after they kept adding unwanted features (the entire point of this app was its simplicity) and my friends were leaving the app. Sad to see it has these kind of ads now.

100 times this.

I think I have a solid grasp of C++ and its manual memory management, but give me a build error and I’ll have zero clue how to fix it.

Perhaps some components of the game can be open-sourced, especially regarding modding APIs and whatnot. Still allows them to keep some things closed for a while, but could expand the mods and optimization even further.

Never heard of the former, and you don’t need to use porn to fap. Porn addiction is absolutely a real thing though.

Yep. Although it’s hard to abuse fapping because you run out of sperm lol. It can be a big time waster though.

It’s not even nofap, it’s no nut November. The former is a philosophy, the latter is a challenge.

I think people downvote nofap here because it makes some arguments that really stretch the truth and feed into bigger lies. In reality, there’s nothing wrong with not fapping, but there’s also nothing wrong with fapping.

NNN communities also get downvote brigaded, even though the famous Internet challenge is largely apolitical.

Paying for software is okay, except when it keeps trying to milk you even after paying for it, especially if it’s a subscription. This can come in the form of ads, the sale of personal information, or some other crap (such as binding arbitration).

Yes by default, but there should be an option to make them public

Make it optional and opt-in.

All kinds of EVs (especially e-scooters and other small fun PEVs), and computer hardware.

Unfortunately, gains with hardware are usually met with regressions in software performance.

Funny enough, my college pushed me to a Linux dual boot.

One of my classes required an Ubuntu environment for C++ programming, and after trying and failing to get WSL working, I decided to just dual boot (from 2 separate SSDs) instead of trying to work around the limitations of a VM.

On the other hand, 2 of my other classes required a Windows-only program.

I used to default to Windows, but after the BS from Microsoft this year I switched to defaulting to Ubuntu.

My idea is to allow premium users to have third-party apps that can be more customizable. Google barely has to lift a finger, premium would get more popular, and the experience would be so much better.

Why? That’s such a stupid move

I don’t know about Into the Breach but I have BTD6 with no Netflix account

Great list but idk why you put “Requires Netflix.” None of these require Netflix.

The “MuseHub 2.0” part worries me. Muse Hub is an incredibly useless and bloated launcher I didn’t ask for sneakily bundled with MuseScore that constantly attempts to run in the background as if it was malware.

I thought UWP/Metro was Win8/10. Win11 is “Fluent”. Perhaps there were 4 phases, not just 3, but my post was already getting too long and the WinForms phase has been pretty much fully conquered by today’s fast hardware.
