You’re replying to a two year old thread.

I imagine you were browsing “Hot” which has a bug where after scrolling down the feed it suddenly starts including very old content that only has one comment.

Putting a dead character in a container and then yeeting that container into a chasm will no longer permanently destroy the character - they will now float around as a resurrectable Soul Echo as expected.

QA clearly wasn’t good enough if they didn’t pick up on such a game breaking bug prior to release

And…

If you dismiss your companion to camp and shove them into a chasm, Withers will now be able to resurrect them… so you can shove them into a chasm again, probably.

Whoever wrote these notes really deserves some credit

All the work I did creating proprietary software was essentially thrown in the trash, and societally useless. I’d much rather be paid very little, and contribute something positive to the world; time is our most valuable resource, and we should spend it doing things that improve the world, because there is so much that needs doing.

This is very well put and mirrors the issue I keep coming up against in my career.

Alas, that’s the very nature of open source development.

Mmm. It’s not going to happen though. Even this company have failed at standardising their own API.

Key for twitter: "twitter": Key for discord: "discordUsername":

Why are they inconsistent?! Who wrote this? Who signed off on it?!

Oh, and for GitHub you provide a url but for twitter and discord it’s just the username?! But the twitter handle has to be prefixed with @. Why?!

Congrats on becoming the reason a non trivial rate like is going to be imposed 😆

Star rating systems don’t accurately convey opinions. The majority of reviews will be either 5* or 1* with only a few wannabe critics voting in between applying their own arbitrary votes.

If Amazon are going to change things then why not adopt something more meaningful. Simple up/down votes for things that actually matter.

Was this product as described: 👍/👎

Are you satisfied with the quality: 👍/👎

Are you satisfied with the value for money: 👍/👎

Then a few optional questions for things that aren’t relevant to the product such as postage/packaging etc.

People who use the default email their ISP gives them don’t like change. The new service will probably have a different login screen and that’s going to upset aunty Ethel and uncle ron. And then a different colour background. It’s the worst thing that anyone could ever do to them

You don’t have to look at reducing your Google use as a monumental effort. You can slowly transfer, minimise the number of services you use.

Simple - Switch your default search provider to Duck Duck Go.

Easy - Switch to Firefox

Mid - export your documents from Google Drive

Complex - Transfer your primary email to another provider.

A lot of sentiment seems to suggest that for Lemmy or the fediverse to succeed Reddit has to fail.

I don’t get that opinion at all. Reddit had become overwhelming bloated. A popular thread would have thousands of comments. Most of which would be near identical. Only the most up voted would ever be read and typically they had to have been commented while the thread was new.

The internet is vast, there is plenty of room for multiple social media to exist.

If you dislike what reddit has become then ignore it. If you still wish to use it then you can do so side by side with using Lemmy.
