when stacking firewood, always put the pieces with the bark facing up. that way, rain can't get the wood wet, and the logs dry quicker.
I read this as being another feature of half life. I was very impressed by the level of detail the devs put into such an early game. Although slightly confused why log stacking would be part of a game
It was far more then one complement. After the drama stirred the CEO started posting a bunch of official statements justifying his words in the reddit thread. Then kept editing and rewording them in response to the negative feedback. It was entirely unnecessary
Somebody had posted the link elsewhere in this thread. I'd been mistakenly searching u/ProtonSupportTeam for the offending comments rather than u/ProtonTeam
Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can't find either so suspect they've been deleted to try to quell the flames.
As developers we should value our time and I don't think it's unreasonable to charge $130 for an hour of a .NET developers time, therefore I personally don't have an issue with paying $130 per year for a tool that has proven itself useful.
I really think we need to see a revolution in how open source projects are funded. Personally, I'd love to transition to a career developing open source tools but I can't justify it because whether you charge $1 or $130 people will always complain.
That’s IDE licence territory.
I know what you mean but I also think we're very fortunate for the value for money we get from IDEs.
Every discussion I've seen about this so far has been so negative.
I hope Lemmy with its very left wing audience might have a more compassionate approach around the desire for open source developers to be compensated for their work.
Or at the very least that companies profiting from open source work start to pay back to those contributors
Tbh it was probably a criticism of capitalism more than the public or private sectors. Why consider the long term when you could just cut costs to inflate short term profitability.
I dunno. The proactive approach you're describing doesn't sound very public sector. Why invest money in something when you could just ignore the issue, cross your fingers and hope it happens to someone else, not you.
Smarty is worth considering as a mobile network. It's very similar to giffgaff - there's no contract so you won't be locked in, pricing is cheap and data allowances flexible.
For ISPs just look on comparison websites. They usually list a star rating for customer service. Favour 12 month contracts over 24 because they now all seem to randomly increase your bill by RPI + 3% half way through which is tedious as hell.
Asda is the only cheap supermarket the other poster missed. It's the UK's wallmart. Cheap but best avoided.
999 is the emergency number for fire, police, ambulance (and possibly life boats / mountain rescue). 111 is a non emergency number for NHS health. 101 is the police non emergency number.
M&S is also worth checking out for reliable clothing.
There are burrito places in every city which may satisfy the desire for American style Mexican.
a neurodivergent LGBTQ teen interested in anime and Japanese culture would almost certainly find themselves at home in any board gaming cafe or group. Most cities have one nowadays, you'll be able to find them on the MeetUp website, or search Facebook. Or contact an independent geeky store and the staff will be able to direct you.
For a British culture TV shows I'd recommend Skins for your teen. It was super popular amongst millennials as teenagers. I'm sure it's now very dated and it's definitely an absurd, unrealistic view but it's very British and had a lot of appeal to teens. Don't watch it with your youngster there will definitely be awkward moments...
Code is overwhelming. Even experienced professionals hate diving in to somebody else's code. It's scary, poorly documented and we always think we could have done it better.
Don't let that put you off.
A lot of us are practical learners. So like you we stare at a wall of code but struggle to comprehend it. But if you dive in and start editing, experimenting etc you'll change the output and understand why it was written in a certain way.
Eventually once you've got it sussed you'll be able to adapt a script to do what you want it. That'll trigger the dopamine reward mechanism and you'll be hooked like the rest of us.
Do the other students feel the same way? It might be worth starting a study group amongst your peers to help one another out.
Have you reached out to your teacher? they should be able to either help you catch up or steer you towards resources that better suit your pace/ learning style.
It's a machine for boomers to consume their daily dose of adverts and propoganda. Typically comes with a number based control device allowing for the input of infinite channel numbers. However the typical user gets confused when counting above five and refers to that as unnecessary new fangled.
In more rural areas anything beyond 4 may be considered too advanced
You have entirely misunderstood this exploit.
