Neither, a centaur has a human torso starting at the base of the neck, the left one has a long neck so clearly not a human torso. The left one has a long torso, so that doesn't fit either.

Solution: it'd be exactly like a regular centaur but with a different skin pattern

Playing devil's advocate here but there could be legitimate reasons to prevent features of an app if you don't give the permissions.

Things like professional type apps that need geolocation to work (geofencing, photo geoloc) or because x big shot client wants to track their employees and you're just forced to accept that unless you want to declare bankruptcy.

Definitely is a very hostile pattern though and there's no reason for meta to do this shit...

I don't mind paying full price for a game, as long as I own it in the end and that the game is not ridiculously short.

Paying 70 euros for a game with less than 7hrs of playtime to get to the end, and artificially padded with collectibles around a open world is a ripoff especially when the game requires licensing servers to be online to play, even for single-player.

My point was that there is no need to replicate everything everywhere. If the data is replicated a cross 5 instances per region for instance, it's enough for replication needs. If you self host lemmy and subscribes to large communities on your instance, you can quickly overload your server. We need activity pub to be more lightweight if we want smaller instances to thrive.

Some people change phones every year, or more often than that, then there's all the coffee makers, small electronics nobody thinks about (watches, radios), computers and laptops, tvs, speakers, smart lights, kitchen tools, cars, anything digital (like calipers), power tools... Depending on what you count, it could add up to ridiculous numbers for some, skewing the average

My main gripe with ActivityPub is that the infrastructure basically replicates 1-to-1 across subscribed instances. It means that as lemmy grows, servers will require more and more storage to keep up. For now, it's fine since we're under a few TB of content on the platform.

If lemmy were to be as popular as reddit, we'd reach the dozens if not hundreds of TB of storage required. Not everyone has the money to build such a homelab or rent data center servers of that caliber.

ActivityPub in it's current state is nothing but replicated centralization, not a full decentralized protocol. We'd probably need a different database system that handles cross region clustering and sharing to scale it up.

There are already tools existing for dyndns that are free. If you're using cloud flare as your dns provider, there's cloudflareddns that checks your public ip and updates dns records. You just need 1 record to be updated, the other records can just be CNAME to that primary one.

OVH has DynHost to deal with that as well.

You could also write a script to do that with your own DNS provider if one doesn't exist yet. Most have good APIs you can use to that extent. At worse just use cloudflare since it just works and is well supported.

ProtonDb and lutris

You can actually decompile any android app into smali code which is kind of a readable bytecode. Create an OAuth app on reddit and replace the developer's API key with your own. Free reddit app with no ads.

Enfin comparer un smartphone a un 3310 c'est un peu gros. Le 3310 c'est une brique, il y a presque pas d'électronique dedans comparé à un téléphone moderne. C'est beaucoup plus simple de corroder une trace de 0.1mm de large que les traces de 1mm du 3310.

The beauty of lemmy is that it is open source. Anyone knowing a bit of rust and/or typescript can contribute. I'm sure multilemmies will be implemented sooner rather than later.

Though, although rust is a beloved language, it's hard to get into. A backend in typescript or python would attract a lot more developers just based on the fact that these are higher level languages. Performance would take too much of a hit though.

Although monopolies can suck balls, at this point, in the streaming industry, there's just too much competition, to the point that you have to purchase a service for its catalog, and that's 4-5 services to subscribe to at this point. It used to be more convenient to pirate stuff, then it got more convenient to just get netflix and hulu, now I'm back sailing the high seas.
