Ironically, the accident that caused them to decide Cruise is unsafe was started by a human driver hit-and-run. So the humans are still more unsafe, but they are punishing the robots for it

It’s right there in the name: PHP

Seriously though maintaining a PHP server is a security nightmare and you have to be constantly updating if you don’t want to be hacked. Just not worth it when there’s better options out there

A lot of servers prefer tipping culture. I have friends who can make $100-200 an hour on good nights at fancy restaurants and bars.

Nah I’ve come to appreciate tipping after spending time in the UK where they don’t tip. Service is absolutely dismal here.

And brand C is called Nestle

Nah that’s more of a spoiler vote. You need one large competitor to Chrime, not a bunch of small ones that can get wiped out

How did they submit changes to only one file? Did they not write a test for it? Sounds like a dodgy patch if it doesn’t have a test

I got it bundled with my YouTube Music subscription. Definitely worth it, especially considering you’d pay the same amount for Spotify and not get any videos

Yep. The WHO just declared aspartame (diet Coke sweetener) as a carcinogen.

They’re finding microplastics everywhere now. Even like inside apples and stuff: the plastic somehow travels up the tree into the fruit

And how has ad tracking personally harmed you or even inconvenienced you?

Nah. I would hate to live in a country that bans personalized ads. It would be like living in the 90s watching cable TV seeing completely irrelevant tampon and baby ads as a single dude.

Personalized ads are much less annoying than the “spray-and-pray” noise we used to deal with.

Heck I would settle for just seeing a post from a person once I my feed, instead of seeing the last reply, then other posts, then the second-to-last reply, then after a lot more scrolling finally seeing the original post.

The problem with chronological feeds is that prolific posters in your timezone just take it over and you never see stuff from people in other timezones or infrequent posters.

That’s wild that shared ptr is so inefficient. I thought everyone was moving towards those because they were universally better. No one mentions the performance hit.

I used to write a lot of performance-critical Java (oxymoron I know) for wearables, and one time I got a code reviewer who only did server-side Java, and the differences in our philosophies were staggering.

He wanted me to convert all my code to functional style, using optionals and streams instead of simple null checks and array iterations. When explained that those things are slower and take more memory it was like I was speaking an alien language. He never even had to consider that code would be running on a system with limited RAM and CPU cycles, didn’t even understand how that was possible.

I’m flabbergasted we’re getting no metroidvania love in here so I’ll list my two favorites: Hollow Knight and Blasphemous. Both with sequels coming out this year which I’m so excited about!

I like that idea. A twist on it would be to divide the votes on a post by the total vote count or user count for that instance, so each instance has the same proportional say as any other. e.g. if a server with 1000 people gives 1000 upvotes, those count the same as a server with 10 people giving 10 votes.

I’ve never played Bloodborne, but your description reminds me of a game I just played: Blasphemous. The art direction and story is sooooo cool and gory and medieval. It’s a metroid-style platformer, and the voice acting and script is really good. The second one is coming out in the fall and I am so stoked to get it

Is this an ad for something or just trying to spread general fear and panic?

What’s the offical Android app for Lemmy? I’ve only tried the web app on Lemmy.world which has a pretty awful UI.
