I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.
It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.
This is a joke, right? This feels like a very dumb solution. I don’t know much about UTF-8 encoding, but it sounds like Roman characters can be encoded shorter than most or all others because of a shorthand that assumes Roman characters. In that case, why not take that functionality and let a UTF-8 block specify which language makes up most of the text so that you can have that savings almost every time? I don’t see why one would want it to be random.

Was there ever like an actual plot to this show? I only watched a handful of episodes and never understood what was actually happening here.
I wouldn’t be opposed to 128GB if the price made sense for it. I’m only using 64GB on my current phone, and it also had 128GB.
Thinking about trading in my P4a for a P8, was offered $200 off if I did. Should I pull the trigger or do you all think Black Friday will have a better deal?
Then I thought of a crazy scheme: trade in my 4a so the P8 is $500 instead of $700, then accept the free Pixel Buds Pro offer and resell them so it’s ~$300 instead.
It doesn’t happen much. But in a language with more boilerplate, like Java, it can happen very rarely.
I’d imagine lots of professions get this. Basically any ofession with lots of repeated text. I’ve gotten this a couple times while programming.
Nope, missed out on the September 2023 security update, no phone older than the 4a 5G got it.
Wish I could, but my college’s NFC id cards need Google Pay, which doesn’t run perfectly on custom ROMs, not to mention several other apps.
Someone actually emailed Valve about this back in 2013. Here’s their response: https://i.imgur.com/4sa1Ln6.jpg
Thank you for contacting Steam Support. In the unlikely event of the discontinuation of the Steam network, measures are in place to ensure that all users will continue to have access to their Steam games.
It seems like Valve wants us to think they have an EoL plan. With the goodwill they’ve built over the years, I want to believe them.
I’d say in your case piracy was 1000% justified. You bought it, you should be able to play it.
I think piracy is acceptable if one of these two conditions are met:
So?
Closed source isn’t necessarily evil, neither is DRM. It’s all in how you implement it.
Valve’s launcher/drm are so much less intrusive than their competitors. They’ve demonstrated more openness to user customization and modding over the years than just about anyone else. If we didn’t have Valve, we would have more EA and Epic Games, do you really want that?
This could be so much longer.
Killing children, class systems, so many programming language names, the ridiculous ways equality and order-of-operations are done sometimes. Plenty of recursion jokes to be made. Big O notation. Any other ideas?
Obligatory I am not a lawyer, this is just my opinion.
A let’s play is a derivative work. You can claim fair use, but that’s hard to do. Fair use often boils down to a question of ‘does the derivative work compete with the original enough to cause a loss in sales?’ Think of when people film themselves watching a movie for YouTube, without cutting anything out and barely commentating over anything, meaning that someone could watch their video instead of the movie and get almost the same content.
In this case, he filmed himself playing the entirety of a visual novel. I think it’s fair to say that for a lot of people, his let’s play could absolutely substitute for playing the game, thus losing sales for the developer.
Can you elaborate on what that means? “Universe is not locally real”? How do we know what is real? What precisely does ‘local’ mean? Real relative to what?
I need to go to bed, I misread that as “Ahsoka is simultaneously the northernmost, westernmost, *and” easternmost US state."
Yeah I don’t get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.
