There is no antiememetics division

Basically this Futurama bit. I knew this joke felt familiar.

A shocking number of users would be hard pressed to figure out how to type in a url to a mobile web browser… or even know what that is, and they deserve a nice user interface too. App stores make it easier to find, too.

Stardew valley is 2D so fewer controls to learn than a 3D game. It also has a cute art style.

Update 8 is on stable. From the wiki

Patch Notes: Early Access - v0.8.3.0 – Build 264901. This patch was released on 14 November 2023. It is the last patch of Update 8 development, bringing its features to the stable branch.

WoW Classic: Season of Discovery, and I recently started my second playthrough of Satisfactory now that Update 8 is out.

Returnal

Something that made me happy or hopefully this year would be my cat recovering from a rather nasty infection. He’s a very good boy.

ECMAScript spec says Math.random must be less than 1. I was about to stop there, but a thought occurred to me: could the multiply with a float make a number large enough to floor to a different value for large enough values? 🤔

I imagine it’d have to be a ridiculously large number to amount enough floating point imprecision to matter, if so.

The only in-game shops should be AWESOME shops.

They said “primarily”, not “exclusively.”

I can only speak from the experience of one app at one company, but data we collected was for troubleshooting. Mainly because customers will email us stuff like “your app doesn’t work!!! Worst company ever!!” And absolutely no identifying information whatsoever. To make matters worse they’ll email with an email that they didn’t give us as a customer so how in the world are we supposed to help‽
So we collect enough data so whoever in the company might need to help them can actually do so.
There’s a lot of “this app is impossible to use!!!” That we find out with enough data collection is just them refusing to hit the GIANT button in the middle of the damn screen that would solve their problem. I hate users.
I believe we answered questions in the Apple and Google stores that says that we collect information and send it to 3rd parties (because analytics platforms are technically 3rd party) but not to sell it. I don’t know if that distinction is clear on the stores though.

This could be the opening line in a high school textbook for a course on how to use the Internet

I didn’t?

Negative percentages

…not that that should be possible though. It uses sumy to do the summaries.

Satisfactory for me. I like setting a small goal for myself to build a whole factory piece by piece.

The transparency may be my very favorite part of Lemmy. It’s almost feels like these people are invested in it’s success instead of it’s profit.

The video description links to a Facebook page for the AOA. idk what the AOO might be

Ok both groups seem to agree that dark mode is either not bad for your eyes or better. The linked YouTube video isn’t some medical board or anything so I wouldn’t go by them.

What is even more interesting is the little battle between the AAO and the AOA. One being ophthalmologists and the other optometrists.

The former call themselves medical doctors, and outline both terms providing difference between them for easy access.

The latter, optometrists, call themselves doctors as much as possible in the context of medicine but seem to avoid calling themselves medical doctors because they know they arent. The only mention of ophthalmology on the AOA website seems to be in reference to groups that oppose them, which seems biased.

Like optometrists are trying as hard as possible to be considered medical doctors in as many ways as possible without having gone to medical school. Can’t say I care for the AOA or their articles now.

The source they cite is the AAO and their website has this article which seems to say the opposite.

Edit Wait. No. They cite the AOA which is different? Who comes up with this stuff‽
