This is the biggest problem with Valve at the moment. They’re awesome, but only because of the current leadership. Once these guys retire or die, it’s very likely Valve will enshittify like every other business.

Valve needs to be hit by regulators at some point. They just have too much market power.

I’m a fan of beancount and it’s corresponding web interface fava.

Since the underlying format is human readable text, it’s easy to edit by hand, and you can send the raw file to your accountant as-is and they should have no issues understanding it.

I don’t trust anyone who invented Javascript.

There’s a joke here about Facebook spying on you

If you can’t be bothered to spend 1 minute to create an account, then you probably can’t be bothered to create an actionable bug report or a merge-able PR.

I’m not against federation in general, but gitlab isn’t twitter or reddit. It’s a utility for doing work, and I don’t see how it will do anything but grow the mountain of bloat on which gitlab is sitting.

Kind of lame that they’re wasting time on gimmicky features like this rather than stuff people have been asking for (like Conan registry support)

I self host Gitlab because I want to be in control of my private repos. If I wanted to release open source projects and collaborate with people, I would use the SaaS version. Public instances that encourage contributions like Gnome have open registration, but activating federation seems like it would just add a new layer of moderation headaches for very little real benefit.

Am I missing something? Besides marketing for Gitlab, what real benefits could this bring to users?

Why not just set a scheduled alarm so you don’t have to manually set it every night?

A few million/year is a reasonable amount of money for a (highly) successful person to make. A wealth tax for people making over a billion or just $100M per year is enough to fix a lot of the problems in this country without destroying the “American dream”

What is your opinion on homosexuality in frogs?

I’ve always wondered why anyone would drink beer without alcohol in it. I always assumed it was only ever used by alcoholics trying to kick their addiction, or desperate teenagers who can’t get a fake ID.

Do you just really like the taste of beer?

Why is this video posted twice, except this one has the watermark blurred out?

Nah, the lesson AAA devs will take from this is “gamers want more boobies”, and we’ll start seeing nudity DLC, romance season pass, plastic surgery loot boxes, etc. I bet even Link will show some ass cheeks in the next game.

I think the author was using the word “unfair” semi-sarcastically as a reference to the twitter drama.

That would be very entertaining, but anyone who is fanatical enough to make pokemon fan music probably wouldn’t dream of causing their favorite company harm.

Is smallstep free to self host? Looking at their pricing page it’s kind of unclear, and their saas is pretty pricey.

If that’s the case, then he is severely overestimating two populations:

• people who know how to input unicode characters

• people who want to talk about twitter

Is there a way for admins to block an entire instance without actually defederating? I.e. all new accounts avoid seeing posts from that instance/community, but still can see comments, messages, etc from users on that instance.
