On the German side of things, we have basically a "fabulous words" community, often just putting up words that are kind of neat, even if they're not particularly exotic: !famoseworte@feddit.de

Well, it says it's a verb, so it'd have to be the last one...

Leider sind auch RSS Feeds nicht mehr so gut unterstützt. Also die, die ich noch in meinem RSS Reader habe, bekommen weiterhin Updates, aber mein RSS Reader kann nicht mehr automatisch ableiten, wie die URL für den RSS Feed ist, wenn ich die URL von einem Kanal einfüge. Bisher habe ich auch selber noch kein Schema gefunden, wie die RSS URLs heißen müssen...

The problem is that no matter how ineffective you believe Mozilla to be, it's simply fucking expensive to develop a modern web browser.

According to openhub.net, Chromium has 35 million lines of code, Firefox 32 million, the WebKit engine has 29 million. Compare that to the Linux kernel which has 36 million lines of code.

The Servo engine has 7 million and is not usable.

Ladybird has 757,140 lines of code. There's just no way that they don't still need to develop manifold as much code as what they currently have, to support the features we expect from modern browsers. And they will need more money for that.

Yeah, Bethesda loves to ruin their game worlds with weirdly repetitive additions. Morrowind constantly spawns assassins on you, Oblivion does the Oblivion gates, Skyrim has the dragons. In the latter two, I think, it's best to just not start the main quest, which prevents the Oblivion gates and dragons from appearing, at least if you replay the game.

This is one of the reasons why I like roguelikes, although I guess a re-spec feature in an RPG also allows this: You can just try all kinds of different builds.

I might play the stealth archer in one run. Then in the next run, I'll play a tall-ass archer who gets seen from far away but also sees as far. And then I might get fed up with playing an archer, so I'll play an ant whacking monsters with a zweihänder and a shield in the other hand pair.

I've found that when you cook with lots of fresh veggies, you can mostly just dump them in and it tastes good. Again, you do want a bit of salt, but as everyone else said, you can hand out a salt shaker.

The real meta is to use an RSS feed which points to Lemmy. 🙃

Ja, das geht auf jeden Fall. Wenn du die ersten Python-Tutorials durcharbeitest, wirst du das wahrscheinlich schon auch sehen, aber würde empfehlen, den Vokabeltrainer erstmal als Kommandozeilenprogramm (CLI) umzusetzen. Wenn man keine graphische Oberfläche implementieren muss, vereinfacht es so ein Programm deutlich. Als Kommandozeilenprogramm würde ich sogar sagen, dass es gar nicht mal ein schlechtes Einstiegsprojekt ist.

Well, as the others already said, it's a matter of taste and different factors play into it, but your argument with the AI is precisely why I find this decision so jarring: You don't need nor want unpredictability in a skating game.

It's not a competitive genre where the unpredictability makes it interesting. And I remember watching a video of a guy playing Skate where NPCs would constantly walk into his path and it was the most infuriating thing. If there would've been no NPCs, no unpredictability, the game would've been better.
Of course, with an MMO, other players will probably have no collision. But if you can still see them where you're skating, they'll still get in the way of you seeing what you're skating on, particularly if you run into trolls.

I'm not completely negative to the MMO concept. Maybe it is fun to see just the sheer chaos of hundreds of others skating in the same place. Maybe they have some sort of idea to actually make interaction with other players relevant in some way. Maybe it's kind of cool for folks to log into the Skate MMO and just hang out. Or maybe it's only an MMO hub-world and you don't have to see other players on the individual courses. But yeah, I'm just not holding my breath.

People expect something different, because the Skate series was different up until now. They should've branded it differently, if they didn't want fans asking for singleplayer.

The problem is that no one asked for an MMO. The game series always offered singleplayer. The gameplay is likely made worse by being an MMO. People who are not fans of the series can just skip this game, but those who are fans of the so-far-singleplayer series are those who are asking for a singleplayer experience.

You're looking at it in isolation, I'm looking at it in terms of this being Microsoft, a company which has held humanity back for most of its existence, now retracting something where they did a decent thing for once.

The problem is that they're killing competition. Treating a company with the market dominance of Microsoft like a normal company would be fatal for humanity. Because they are eliminating innovation by Cursor and they do not need to do this to finance their own innovation. Effectively, humanity gets less innovation by Microsoft doing this.

Ah, I do like to walk to the stores quite regularly, too, but I guess, my style of cooking is more just using whatever's at home rather than trying to achieve a concrete recipe...

Well, on the JVM side of things there's Scala and Kotlin. Scala supports all the object-oriented paradigms + the functional paradigms. Kotlin supports about the same number of features as Scala, although it puts more restrictions on them. On the Microsoft side of things, I've never tried it, but I'm guessing F# has to cover a similar object-oriented + functional feature set. Well, and from what I've heard about C++, it's presumably the language with the most features across all languages.
