The last time you had a panic/anxiety attack, why?
  • It was right before realizing I'm in a burnout. Too much in my private life going on, kids, housing, study, full time jobs.

    The last time before that must've been years, but I've been holding it in for as long as I could, I now realize.

  • Why Assassin's Creed has lost its identity?
  • I prefer good gameplay are fun cutscenes. Both add value, but I preferred the newer games over the old ones, in terms of gameplay.

    This doesn't mean either of us is wrong or right, simply that it's okay to have different preferences.

  • Why Assassin's Creed has lost its identity?
  • I get the sentiment, even though I wasn't too much a fan of the original series. That said, while sales don't equal quality, nor does sticking to the same thing. Changing style, direction or genre doesn't equal lack of quality. I was quite a fan of Origins and Oddysey.

    The real risk is losing the original fanbase, which did happen quite a bit, probably.

  • US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)
  • That sounds like it has to get worse before it can get better. Having trump would create motivation to improve things for getting a better candidate next election, something like that?

    Doesn't sound like a great option either. It's not like there's a 'good' option, just a 'slightly better' one.

  • US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)
  • Non-US guy here. I don't get why there's a choice whether to vote for him or not, when you know the alternative is Trump.

    It's clear Biden isn't a great option, and there's probably plenty of reasons not to want him. But is any of those reasons gonna get better in the next 4 years when his opponent would win?

  • Reddit will now use an AI model to fight harassment
  • I agree it's not fair, unless there's some human element to it that checks and corrects the AI's choices.

    That said, modern AI is pretty capable of recognising something like harassment, I'd say.

    Just to be clear, I'm not defending Reddit for choosing AI over human moderation

  • Chat Apps
  • I remember looking into that a while ago, but it's not like I can just instantly hook up my WhatsApp or Telegram account into that, right? I'd need a server to act as a bridge.

    And I wouldn't be so keen on giving that kind of access to a random server.

  • 5 years later Valve finally gives Windows compatibility tool Proton a logo
  • For me, the difference is how they go about doing it. The tracking Microsoft does is baked into the OS you use, for the sake of... well, not for seeing if people in your friends list also use Word or Teams.

    Valve tracks a lot of data too, but also seems transparent about it. They show usercount, active players, it shows up for your Steam friends (if you want). And at the end of the day, they don't need to appeal to some shareholders. To me it feels like they track for the sake of their products, not for the sake of selling this data.

    That said, I do think I'm pretty biased towards Valve in this, so I'm not sure how fair my view on it is

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
  • It's fine to do that kind of work for free for the sake of creating and maintaining a nice community for something you enjoy. It's like charity work.

    The problem is that there's a big company that's profiting massively from this 'charity work'.

  • Please, do not use Brave.
  • I'm not sure what it is. I suppose this is the case for the heavier web-applications, but the average website (which is where my expertise is, not actual applications) also feels slightly worse on FF. And as far as I know, I don't use any chrome-specific tricks or optimizations.

  • Please, do not use Brave.
  • Vivaldi definitely has a learning curve. It's great once you have it set up how you like (which, granted, is way too time consuming for the average user). But the tab stacking and tiling is so immensely useful for me, I can't use other browsers without missing those features now.

  • Please, do not use Brave.
  • My guess is because Brave is a relatively known Chromium browser that's been degoogled. Along with built in ad and tracker blocking, and it's an easy less evil of the two.

    I want to like Firefox, both as normal user and as web developer, but something about it keeps bugging me. The UI feels sluggish, sites seem to be slightly less performant, and I can't seem to get used to it.

    That said, I've started using Vivaldi, and while it can be considered bloated, I really like the tab options it has, while also offering a degoogled chromium that's being kept to date.

  • Ecosia.org updates its Privacy Policy
  • It sounds like they don't really have a choice in this unless they completely switch up their internal search engines, right? Like, it's a shame, but not exactly something they're to blame for? Or am I missing something?
