Mindustry is worth a look if you like factorio and tower defense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindustry

Edited to add:

If you like RTS then Beyond All Reason is fantastic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_All_Reason

I only found this post because I decided to check HN after getting HTTP 500 errors pulling some repos.

People don't hate them for trying new things, they hate them for making the new things the only option.

> That said ... putting part of your soul into machine format so you can put it on on the big shared machine using your personal machine and expecting that only other really truly quintessentially proper personal machines receive it and those soulless other machines don't ... is strange.

That's a mischaracterization of most people want. When I put out a bowl of candy for Halloween I'm fine with EVERYONE taking some candy. But these companies are the equivalent of the asshole that dumps the whole bowl into their bag.

This reminds me that I was recently using tracy to profile a program and found their own list of valid grievances, altough it's a bit more GNOME inflicted: https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/issues/505#issuecomment-136...

I'm still surprised by how much inertia there is for Ghostery.

People should have stopped using that extension nearly a decade ago after being sold to an advertising company.

Or after they went closed-source.

Or after they were caught selling user info about blocked ads back to the advertisers so they could figure out how to avoid being blocked.

Or after they started showing their own advertisements to users.

In that example foo is the important aspect, so it should be the leading element:

  foo

Good to know. I think this should probably be it's own post

Not only that, but zig makes linking against old glibc versions easy. For example, to make an x86_64 linux build linked against glibc 2.9 when using zig build all you have to do is pass:

  -Dtarget=x86_64-linux-gnu.2.9

This is probably going to be Reddit's Digg moment for me. The sad thing is there isn't really a suitable replacement available. HN is the closest experience to early Reddit and I wouldn't be surprised if the site's traffic ramps up noticeably over the next couple months.

I never said you shouldn't? I was only backing up the other commentor's claim since many people might think he's being hyperbolic rather than them overtly spelling it out on their site.

It should be noted that this isn't an exaggeration. For a long time they actually had in the sidebar on lemmy.ml that it was the main Marxist instance. I'd link an archive but the site's design makes every one I can find pull the new info.

This may be a weird recommendation but the steam deck may be something to consider if your docks have a usb c connector.

It's nearly as powerful as my desktop, and I can't find any laptops/portaPCs with similar specs at that pricepoint.

They probably use the user's social graph. Taking all those precautions won't help if the new account just rejoins the same servers and talks to the same people as the banned account.

Sorry for being obtuse, but FF only allows me to put in a website to save passwords. How would I use this for an extra-browser application (steam for example)?

How do you manage passwords for things outside of the browser?
