100%. When one of the cons is no meaningful protection against injury, a helmet should be a huge pro. It absolutely saves lives.

Wow private servers aren’t uncommon, although I do think they violate the TOS as it stands. I imagine people would continue to use those in the event blizzard shuts the official servers down.

This comment is amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to lay it out for me. My weekend might be ruined by Minecraft on deck now!!

I tried to start playing mc on the deck but I don’t really understand how to make changes to the controller setup. I’ll have to sit down and read it properly and try again next time I get the urge.

If you don’t have it already, maybe you should look at a steam deck in the future. I find it to be really good for times in my life when my time to play is limited, and a better source of unwinding than just mindlessly scrolling Lemmy or Instagram when I have a spare 15.

The semantics is that downloading is copying something from one computer system to another. Nothing about intent or permanence or whether it’s a temp/cache file or not. If you did not download the file, you cannot have seen it.

Whether you meant to do something or not does not change the action. The colloquial use of the word downloading to mean something different from streaming or browsing does not change the fundamental action.

In the case of WhatsApp, which is specifically in question here, it doesn’t “cache” images in a temporary folder. It saves the images to your devices media folders in their own library. So even by your definition, they’re being downloaded. Now, this is a setting which is on by default so maybe an individual doesn’t realise. It doesn’t mean they’re not downloading the content.

People moving away from Microsoft is literally how Microsoft will be held accountable though

Can I interview with you lol - this sounds great!

Re: your last paragraph -

Think of it this way. Google pulls in 300 billion USD a year and 80% of that is advertising revenue, not leaving a whole lot of the pie for Pixel phones once you take out subscriptions, Chromebooks, GCP, etc etc.

Sure, they’re probably making some money on every pixel sale but the point of them making mobile phones is to support their advertising business.

I’m not a Graphene user, but that’s the way I see it. At the end of the day if you get the phone secondhand you’re not giving them any money at all.

I don’t know if @Hackerman_uwu is enough? I’m writing this comment to test it

Maybe !Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world

Edit: nope neither of those work

The browser versions aren’t too awful, if that’s an option.

They’re saying that the actual Democratic party leaders are equally performative.

Makes you connectable. If you don’t forward ports for your torrent client you can only connect to peers who are port forwarding, meaning you will download and upload more slowly in most cases.

Easy enough to imply it from all of the other comments in the thread, and the fact that the op referred to the ThinkPad in the title. You’re correct, and it’s not your fault the op used the wrong word, but context indicates that they were talking about desktop PCs.

You might know this already, but try emailing the primary authors directly and asking for a copy, it’s often the easiest way to get them if you haven’t got any other way to access.

That’s the great thing about open source though. Sure, you might drop off the face of the earth tomorrow. But if you do, the code is there, and maybe someone who was using it clones the repo and carries on that work.

Eh, I know plenty of developers glued to the apple ecosystem who could probably have a lot of fun with it if they were able to. They just don’t rate it as important enough to counteract the things they like about the ecosystem.

Thank you for reminding me to go back through my saved posts

See, you know Reddit is packed with bots when that shitty repost has 6000 upvotes and “does this sub don’t have mods” has 129.

My doctor gave me four months to live.
