Billionaires: *build moats and walls around their homes*

The eventual uprising:

Archive.today became non-citable the moment it began altering archived webpages, regardless of anything else.

That moment and what happened after defeating the Elite Four in Pokémon Gold both blew my mind as a child.

GTAV has made over ten billion dollars, one billion of that in its first three days. They would have earned more than double its entire lifetime development costs (estimated at ~200-250 million) if they'd charged a twentieth of what they did.

They've monetized GTAV so thoroughly via Online that they've given the game (including single player) away for free because they still made a profit off of it.

Charging $100 for a sequel they'll definitely monetize even worse is the epitome of greed.

The trick is getting the right people to study history (they won't).

A game about old poo, huh? I hope there's a demo - a copro-lite, if you will.

Nah, they simply invited Trump to their next "bring your daughter to work" day. Why would a CEO do anything when they have a perfectly good workforce to exploit?

I never would have guessed that the knife guy was actually a sentient motorcycle.

Gnome's devs are insular and don't listen to suggestions from outsiders. That sounds like Svirfneblin to me!

 

... I hear they've been looking for a room temperature super conductor for ages.

(I am so sorry)

Steam adds support for branch-specific Workshop mod versions

This should save mod authors and users a huge headache due to not needing to worry about updates breaking everything*.

  • Provided the developer has enabled and set up the relevant feature set.

A single subscribed mod can now provide multiple builds targeting different game versions. This is tied to the existing branch system originally used for betas. Subscribers will be automatically given the mod build that matches their installed game version.

This means that when a player downgrades their game to an old version, they'll automatically be switched to the last version of all subscribed mods that supported that version of the game.

This should save developers, mod authors, and players a huge headache due to not needing to worry about updates breaking everything (provided the developer has enabled and set up the relevant feature sets, which TBH looks a little fiddly).

 

"Oh, so it's cute when they do it?"

 

... because I comment more times in a single day than I normally do over weeks.

(Hoarding meds because I need to make an appointment for a refill, but I can't make myself do that when unmedicated and always get distracted the rare days I am. Hey, if it were rational it'd be considered a personality quirk, not a mental illness.)

 

When I try to save a custom emoji to my gallery, Voyager immediately crashes. This is on Android 11/LineageOS 18.1, Voyager 2.40.1 beta.

Here's the comment with the specific emoji that crashes my client.

 

The app keeps track of your upvotes and downvotes for each user, but you can only see the combined total normally (with differing shades based on the ratio, which is a nice touch). You can only see the actual numbers for each under a user's tag details.

Could there be an option to display both numbers separately? So instead of [+15] it would show [+18/-3], for example.

 

I'm not sure if this is a Voyager issue or a Lemmy API one, but when viewing the profile of someone who comments but hasn't made a post in a while, old posts will be sprinkled randomly through their comments list.

Selecting Posts or Comments returns everything in the correct order; it's only the overview that's wrong.


On a related note, when viewing my own profile it suddenly skips a few weeks of comments after the first page:

(My apology for the politics, but that's where the split was)

This too only happens on the overview page and not when viewing comments alone.

 

When I flip Voyager to landscape, there's sometimes an extra row of padding below the bottom bar:

It usually fixes itself if I flip to portrait and back a few times:

But after rotating back to portrait, there is now negative padding and the buttons are below my phone's softkeys and unusable:

This happens anywhere in the app.

 

Long-pressing the link in [https://lemmy.ml/comment/7302466](this comment) will cause Boost to crash.

The link markdown is wrong, with the URL in the text tag and the destination tag empty, but this shouldn't crash the app.

Alternate test link in case the commenter fixes it: https://www.example.com
