This is just a quick message to let everyone know that the Titanfall has moved to https://titanfall.wiki.gg/

The reason for the move being that the old version was hosted via Fandom. That company hosts many gaming wikis but has recently been caught up in multiple controversies regarding turning wiki pages into ads, auto-generating incorrect random trivia questions, and making the wiki near unusable without an adblock.

For more info on Fandom in general check out this YouTube video or this Wikipedia entry.

So show the new wiki some love <3

YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that "no" is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from

  • se
  • fi
  • no

into

  • "se"
  • "fi"
  • False

I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)

Convenience for end-users and avoiding link rot is probably one of the reasons.

I just really dislike the whole left/right tribalism. Politics is a lot more complex than left/right and just marking someone as either just increases polarisation...

ngl, I'm annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn't want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.

I can only hope that governments finally take that as hint to explore other platforms (Mastodon *hint* *hint*) for their public service announcements.

This. I hate the whole left/right tribalism.

Like I know that it can be used to get a rough idea of what political motivations someone might have and I know that where my own ideologies would mostly fall in that inaccurate one-dimensional linear spectrum but ultimately it is too inaccurate to use it to classify everyone's political motivation.

Worse it creates a whole us-vs-them divide. "Oh you aren't right, when then you must be a commie". "Oh you aren't left, then you must be a fascist". So you might consider yourself in a different position on a political spectrum and just see the differences to someone on the other end of a political spectrum even though you might have more in common then you think. Heck, if you are on complete opposite ends you might even have more in common then you think.

Ultimately, the focus should be less on left/right and more on individual policies. Like should healthcare be public or privatized, should be build another road or another train track here, etc

Why does political debate always have to turn into this tribalistic mud fight instead of proper discussion on how to best address the needs of citizens?

You think they would have just repurposed the page that asked if you if you were over 18 before going to a nsfw subreddit for this task, but old.reddit.com seems completely overlooked as of now.

Doubt it was overlooked. I moderated a larger subreddit and I can tell you that the stats for old.reddit are tiny compared to the rest so it's not worth the cost of implementing. Further if you use old.reddit you probably already have a dislike for the app and will rather abandon the content then install the app. Finally old.reddit is used more by old-school redditors which tend to be the vocal minority that will complain about the change the loudest. So overall, ignoring old.reddit is propably the smarter decision from reddits perspective... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Type error unless there's an implementation of + that specifies adding together and integer and a string.

Yup, 40% of that AMD share is the Steam Deck.

[-] Gecko@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This article is kinda misleading. Nearly 40% of Linux devices is the Steam Deck which is AMD only. Subtracting the Steam Deck AMD usage on Linux more or less matches that on Windows.

See the Steam hardware survey for the numbers that this blog spam article is reporting on: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux

Noticed quite an increase in bot posts over on r/titanfall to the point where a retired mod wanted to return to their position to help deal with it. Given that I'm kinda moving away from Reddit I gave them their position back so that I can start moving on.

While Vaultwarden is great I would not suggest selfhosting your password manager unless you do regular backups. Losing all your password cause your server went down is a great way to ruin your day.
