That minimal theme is nice, I’ve been using it most of the year

Programming@programming.dev•Anyone have any favorite diffing tools?English
3·6 days agoI just have a script that has a few commands with presets to see the differences I care about:
Short diff:
git diff -w --ignore-blank-lines --color-words='\w+|.'
Slightly longer diff:git diff -w --ignore-blank-lines

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Remedy [Control, Alan Wake] is 'not satisfied' with its Q3 results after FBC: Firebreak's flop, and has 'moved development resources' to other games in productionEnglish
13·7 days agoI think there is a space for these kinda games, but going so high budget with it was a mistake. A studio should probably have a flagship series (or universe, in this case) and keep side projects smaller scoped so the limited audience doesn’t hurt the rest of the studio.
Also release AW2 on Steam lol

15·7 days agoMost gamers won’t even hear about it. Just seeing the article already puts you in the “highly informed” bucket

Gaming@beehaw.org•The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by MicrosoftEnglish
91·10 days agoFrom another comment it sounds like there is pushback from users when someone behaves poorly, which is good, but I don’t see why anyone would want that experience to be the norm. Just libertarian things I guess

Gaming@beehaw.org•The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by MicrosoftEnglish
42·10 days agoYup, seems like they want to run a nazi bar. From their wiki (archive):
nothing that a player can type in public chat (aside from the exceptions given below) can result in a ban or any form of official reprimand. You will not be banned for anything you say, aside from spamming. This includes but is not limited to:
- Swearing;
- Personal attacks;
- Racial or cultural insults;
- Asking to be banned.
It’s worded a little confusingly, but there is a list of exceptions further down the page. The server is hosted in Germany so the expected symbols are removed if built in-game, but most of the other exceptions are to keep the game playable.

Programming@programming.dev•Do you actually read documentation, or just search it when you’re stuck?English
5·11 days agoGood question! When I’m learning a new tech usually try to search for best practices in configuration, then read the docs to see why the settings are being recommended.
Other than that I just try to remember where to find what I need

Technology@beehaw.org•Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicideEnglish
82·11 days agoDrop the wild speculation, there is zero reason to play devil’s advocate. If you cared to do any reading there are a myriad of examples of this company’s llms pushing harmful behavior.
Yes, there are probably other factors. There always are. It might not be what you meant, but you are saying that the companies selling these products should get off for free because they “would’ve done it anyway”

3·19 days agoow did they limit it? I still see all the regions in steamdb. I know the exchange rates haven’t been updated in a while so their suggested regional prices haven’t been pretty bad










Looks like fun!
