At the danger of being whooshed here - with Goat simulator specifically, I think it’s pretty obvious that the game is overall not meant to be taken seriously, including the title.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I think this doesn’t print or otherwise reproduce its own source code, so it’s not a quine afaict.

Looks very much like it! I’m a bit jealous, they were already out of stock when I looked at getting one

This is why you don’t use any singular storage medium without backups

Ftfy. Using any medium as the exclusive location of your data without any backup is a stupid idea, but if you’re gonna be that careless, using Google Drive is one of the less stupid options out there. The chance that google fucks up in an irrecoverable way is infinitely lower than you fucking your local storage up or your house burning down.

Privacy is another factor to this of course, but if we’re just looking at the security of your data, using only Google is way better than using only your self hosted solution.

reserves the right to sell you out

Is Canonical actually doing that, though? Collecting data for product improvement purposes and collecting it to potentially sell to third parties are two wildly different things, and doing the former, even with the user’s consent, does not mean you automatically reserve the right to do the latter (or anything else, really) with the collected data, unless you explicitly already include that as an option and get consent for it as well. I haven’t looked into it myself, so I might be wrong here, but I’m guessing Canonical would be getting way more shit for this if they were actually reserving the right to outright sell the telemetry they’re collecting, rather than just use it for product planning and development.

Also what would happen if a user, who has no idea what they are doing, uninstalls edge without having another browser available?

I guess not allowing the current default browser to be uninstalled while there is no other program available that can be made the default browser would be a simple and viable solution here.

For those not willing to give up on convenience, on Android, there’s Lockdown mode, which will temporarily disable access via biometrics and force the use of your PIN/password to get into your device. Not sure about other brands, but on Pixel, you can enable it by long-pressing the power button and tapping on “Lockdown”.

Not if the site is actually GDPR compliant they are not. You are only allowed to set tracking cookies after consent has been obtained, which cannot be assumed before the visitor has made a choice.

I’m not sure why I have .protonmail@protonmail

Sounds like you did something wrong when choosing your email address? I have my.name@proton.me, which looks just fine imo. Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re talking about

They also don’t let you import calendars on the calendar app

At least in the wepapp, this works fine for me, I imported my previous Google calendar no problem and am also subscribed to my girlfriend’s calendar.

import passwords on the password app

I imported my passwords from 1Password and that worked flawlessly. Can’t speak to other password managers.

You’re basically working off a browser extension because you can’t do them on the webpage and they don’t have clients.

This is hopefully gonna be fixed soon, a standalone proton pass app for desktop is in the works according to their public communication :)

Oh you’re right, my brain I completely missed that misspelling 😅

Those are very similar, so I’m assuming you probably had a more elaborate prompt than just your username - would you mind sharing?

That looks reminiscent of the Holocaust memorial in Berlin, which is a pretty big area with huge concrete slabs of different sizes and deep trenches between them. I can see how that connection came to be

Wtf, since when can AI produce text in pictures that well without any errors? (Ignoring the clock though, I guess 😂)

That has nothing to do with the ampersand, it’s just that post titles and bodies in general have different fonts. It’s just easier to notice in the ampersand since it’s so different between the fonts.

There are some cases though where the code is just complicated for reasons outside of your control, in which case “what” comments are good - but they should never be taken at face value, but only used as a first step in understanding the code. There’s a significant risk of the code not actually doing what the comment says.

…autism is an industry??

What exactly do you mean by “trust”, here? Yes, it’s not fully FOSS, and I do understand why you wouldn’t like or use it because of that, but you can still verify the code, compile it yourself and build and run it with your own modifications, so how would being fully FOSS make you trust it more?

You’re right that words can be coined and their usage changed, but you seem to be misinformed about how that happens. You just deciding we’re gonna do it this way now in a random thread on lemmy is not gonna cut it, sorry

This is about language, not geology. Doesn’t really matter how it came to be that way, North and South America are effectively treated as separate continents and very rarely referred to as a whole, and you saying “but actually” doesn’t change that.

Even I myself am not gonna remember how to use my tool a couple months down the line, unless it’s something I use very regularly.

Edit: noticed I read the comment I’m replying to wrong, reworded to make more sense
