I like the idea of having a regulated, living, backwards compatible standard. Which seems to be what USB-C is now, for phones. The EU has soon to be active regulation that will make it a requirement for many things. Yet, it's not a single, set in stone standard, but one that's constantly being expanded (eg, version 3.2 and PD).

Of course, the regulation has to also be living. Eg, at some point, maybe there'll be a strong enough reason to allow another standard (by no means do I think USB-C will always make sense). And the regulation has to very carefully choose the standard.

That way we get the benefits of standardization (from actually everyone using the same format), but we aren't unreasonably crippling ourselves to do it.

Yeah. There's literally nothing you can put on a prompt that will truly work. It's still a good idea to prompt cause it will reduce how many people approve the prompt, but there is a significant number of people who don't read prompts at all and just insta-confirm.

At best, I think you could design it so there's no way for an app to request certain permissions themselves. They'd have to be opted in from the system settings and apps could only tell you how to do it. But that's a usability nightmare that is quite frustrating for legitimate usages. There's already some super sensitive permissions that do this. I think the ability to install apps, ability to display over other apps, and password managers for android.

A random class every day actually sounds like a fascinating challenge. It'd be such a pain to gear up, since you never know what you'll be proficient with on a given day lol.

Would it be close enough to balanced if all the classes simply have their own level and xp? So you effectively can get the abilities of every class at level 1, which I don't think would be overpowered. You'd also be effectively penalized for staying too long in any class except your main one, cause you'd be earning XP for an alt class.

I think you can actually solve that one with enough C4 :p

Or hired to do a show, since English isn't that specific. Being gifted someone dancing doesn't usually mean you own that person. It just means someone was paid to dance as a show for you.

The cult of personality thing is the big part IMO. If it was just him being a piece of shit without any influence, then whatever. But he has a cult following that are influenced by him and his actions (plus Twitter seems now designed to push his thoughts). It's important that the vast majority of people understand that Musk is an idiot and a piece of shit. It needs to be lame and gross to like him.

Do custom ROMs still have issues with some apps not allowing them? It's been an eternity since I tried one and I don't know if it's a hard requirement, but at least when I did try it, I had (?) to root my device and my bank apps refused to work after that.

It's my favourite for burgers. It lasts way longer without going bad (I find real cheese slices will go moldy before I can use them all), tastes better to me, and is meltier. The meltiness is really nice!

Same here. Heck, I often even get one day free shipping, which is insane.

The captions suck too. I subscribed to the same deal as you. I did it mostly to support the creators. But I basically never use it. The creator whose affiliate link I used to sign up? Their own captions are amazing on YouTube (human written with colour and positioning) and auto generated garbage on Nebula.

It's not really a technical problem anymore. Which isn't to say it's easy to run such a site, but rather to stress that YouTube is like a social media site. The value is in the users (and the content that they create and consume). You could make a perfect YouTube clone, but good luck getting people to use it when their favourite creators don't. And good luck getting creators to care when the users aren't there.

And Lemmy is misleading. Most people don't use Firefox. Heck, most people don't seem to even use ad blockers.
