As for 3, in my part of the world (Canada) we only contract "I have" into "I've" when the "have" is grammatical. So "I've been thinking", "I've seen you before", and "I've got that at home". But when it's the main verb we usually don't contract it, so "I have a new dress", "I have to go to court", "I have something to say", etc.

It's understandable, though, and I've probably even seen it in poetry or lyrics, but it isn't typical.

Oh, and it's not impossible to use a structure like "I've not seen it", but again it has a very formal and dramatic feeling, whereas "I haven't see it" feels much more natural to me.

This is one of the reasons these "let's replace Discord" threads are so tricky. I use Discord basically every day, and heavily twice a week for games nights with two different groups, for 6 years. I'm in there. And I have never uploaded a clip or streamed anything, so I never considered that this might be something people want, or are using the platform for. And I've seen a few custom emoji around, but never considered using some dude's emoji in a different group's chat.

So it's wild how different people are using it, and getting one replacement to do all of it is a big ask!

There's an official doc about this: https://trapexit.github.io/mergerfs/latest/remote_filesystems/

Have you tried those things?

Yeah I mean, this is the benefit of the fragmentation. If you don't want to update all the time, you just use a different distro. I know I do, I've run Linux for 21 years now and never once run Arch because I don't want what it does, but we're still on the same team, and the things they do benefit me nonetheless. There are drawbacks to the fragmentation, but this is one of the benefits.

I'm not a fanboi of AI, but also not all AI is equally capable. You can be upset for ethical reasons, you can dislike some things it produces for style reasons, and yes it does sometimes produce code that feels like it should work, even though it doesn't. All of these things are true.

But also Claude doing coding is very different than the AI answers on Google searches, and even those are much better than a cherry-picked highlight reel of bad results on a blog post.

Again, you don't have to like AI or agree with its use, but claiming the code Claude produces is fully bullshit because some customer support chatbot does a bad job is just being misinformed. You should at least know your enemy and its capabilities.

I'm going to assume from the part where they say they were at their lowest that the option the saw infront of them wasn't "code with AI or not" but rather "burnout and don't code, or code with AI". And they chose to make progress using the crutch rather than stop. That's my guess.

I wonder what they think the word "vow" means... ๐Ÿค”

OIDC is innately centralized

Huh, that's not my understanding. I was there when it first came out, and the whole point was to allow you to use any URI of your choice as an authenticator. Let's see what the first line of Wikipedia has to say:

OpenID is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol

Huh. ๐Ÿค”

It turns out the only ability anyone really needs is the ability to have a hefty rack!

I'm not sure if this is part of the "setting aside" stuff, but I'd ask why age needs to be verified and not simply stated.

I'm the admin on this device, I say I'm 50, why does the website need to check some ID to prove I'm 50? They trust what I reported, and if I lied to them that's on me. It shouldn't be the websites job to validate.

[โ€“] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

For sure. If we wanted to protect kids with no intrusion we'd just make an HTTP header that was "user age" and then let the sites decide what to show and what to block. Porn sites don't want to show dicks to 6 year olds, it'd be 10 seconds to make an nginx rule that says "if user age < 18, show static error page".

And that's it, easy peasy. If we wanted to, at that point we could start suing individual sites that choose not to use that information in order to get compliance, but probably we don't need to, since it's pretty easy to support and like I said, there's no money in showing these things to kids anyway.

But that's not what it's about.

That game was pretty great. Not long, not challenging, but it's not trying to be. Great atmosphere, fun engagement.

 

Hey folks! Back in the PS2 days I had Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and besides the quests and stuff I also loved just driving around and going on little road trips and stealing planes.

And then in the PS3 era I had Just Cause 2, and the voice acting was terrible, and the quests were kinda dumb, but wow was it fun to just drive around and go on little road trips and steal planes. And your dumb little hookshot was nearly immersion breaking it was so unrealistic, but instead it was a ton of fun zipping through the air from 150 paces to kick a dude off his motorbike...

Anyway, I'm wondering what people's opinions are on these kinds of games these days! I know Cyberpunk has some driving, but I don't know if people enjoy cruising in it. I really liked Breath of the Wild, which is not really the same but had some screwing around times. I know there's a GTA 5 which I never played but it's probably good, I think there's a Just Cause 3 but I haven't looked into it. Some people love Red Dead 2, which I mostly bounced off of but maybe I was wrong.

Do you folks have any favourites in this "genre"? Things I should check out? Stories of worthless hijinks? Thoughts?

 

Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.

In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?

The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.

How about this one?

The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?

Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.

My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?

This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?

Thanks very much for any help you have!

 

Hello folks! I have these switches in my bathroom.

The rightmost is the lights, and the middle one is the bathroom fan, and I'd like to replace that middle one with something I could load tasmota on (or some other open source firmware), without replacing the other switch, the sockets, or the faceplate.

I haven't seen any smart switches that have a form factor that would fit through this faceplate, though; they seem to mostly want to be the entire electrical box.

If it weren't for the electrical plugs I could maybe replace this with some kind of 2-gang thing, which isn't really what I want but could be fine, but as it stands I'm not sure what my options here are.

I don't need the new switch to necessarily look like the old one, I just want it to fit in the same box and use the same faceplate. Do you folks have any recommendations?
