When I get a new phone, it gets a folding case. No need for a screen protector then.

Once that case becomes manky I normally switch to a shell only case and a screen protector. Without the protector, the screen eventually gets scratched by things ending up in the same pocket.

Mostly work in a disposable way. Not sure glass ones exist for the phones with stupid curved screen edges?

Faf?

I know supreme commander 2 has the second screen as a tactical map. Not sure if it’s interactive though.

16-18C is probably best. Love curling up in the duvet in the cold, but cold normally means damp too ☹️

Sleeping above 25C is miserable.

You can do basic 5 man content with AI players nowadays.

It looks like an open source project. Makes a hell of a lot more sense to implement using that than rolling your own? If it’s missing something you need, write it for them.

Writing your own implementation is extremely unlikely to differentiate your app/product. There is a spec, either you implement it and it works, or you don’t and it doesn’t. Using a maintained library is by far the better option.

Focus your time on the product you are building not the tech.

Na, I want an entire draw of the same sock design, so I don’t have to worry about pairing them.

My mum got me a mug for Christmas and internally I was like damn, I was going to throw all mine out to get a matching set.

I did try that once, you can’t catch stack overflow errors in .net at least. Too fundamentally broken.

Webassemby is still limited to a single thread as far as I’m aware, so it’s not a full runtime for the language you are writing in as anything using threads behind the scenes tends to fall over unexpectedly at runtime.

Its also an absolute bastard to debug (young ecosystem)

It’s an interesting one. I want access to non publicly listed investments, but I have unfortunately lost money in funds that tried it.

To do it, you either need a closed fund, or something kind of buy/sell restrictions to force long term investment.

The only reason I want a limit that high is to be able to book a group holiday on it. (With people I trust to pay me back). So much less stressful (and lucrative if you have a rewards card)

It depends who you are trying to hide from. A VPN will hide your internet traffic from your ISP/phone company, but obviously not from the site you are visiting.

At best you might be one of may people connecting from the same (VPN) IP address, but they can still collect info from your browser/app etc to generate points to ID you if they want.

Version desyncs too, even when we have the exact same (small) modlist. You spend at least 45 mins getting everyone onto the same hash.

If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

…that was entirely my point.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)

In fact defederation is a negative since now you have to worry about new signups, moderation, etc. While in a federated instance, you can leave moderation to other instances and only allow team/company members on your instance.

They are going to moderate their communities, if its unfederated, you don’t have to worry about moderating (or the lack of) on any other instances communities at all.

Users can sign up on other instances and still be able to interact with your instance for support, help and other stuff.

Thats going to be too confusing for a lot of users - they just want to sign up and complain about/discuss things.

It depends if they are saying, we have a community on lemmy (federation fine) or saying, here is our official forum thing (federation bad)

Possibly, is Mbin basically a single instance like kbin was?

If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don’t have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it’s just a community on a platform.

You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.

Is there an alternative app that offers a centralised account service but with user hosted servers?
