Shhhh you just described iterative development. Careful not to be pro agile, or the developers with no social skills will start attacking you for being a scrum master in disguise!

It feels like the goal is to get you married to one platform, and the big players are happy for that to be them. As someone who’s used Keepass for over a decade, the whole thing seems less flexible than my janky open source setup, and certainly worse than a paid/for profit solution like bitwarden.

Trump is definitely not a “figurehead only”. He is a tiger that what’s left of the Republican establishment has by the tail. They did not want him to win the primary again, they all hate him, and are just trying to get whatever judicial appointments and erosion of regulations they can out of him. Anyone who thinks Trump is a puppet is absolutely blind to American politics. He is an absolute wildcard that everyone is trying to react to, a whirlwind that folks hope they can push in the direction they want to destroy the things they want, but they are equally aware they can fall out of grace and be fired in two weeks like everyone in his last administration.

Only been a tradition for 50 years. Relatively young compared to the age of many political dealmakers.

Just learned I was funded by rich people. Did I miss a paycheck somewhere?

-an actual economist, telling you deflation is bad

That’s total debt, he’s talking about individual debt. Deflation is bad. This is not really up for debate. 2% inflation is a fine target and worked well for decades.

He’s live action in those films. Only Sonic is CG.

But I mean regardless, in his defense, they were good kids movies and he was great in them (in the genre of kids movie villain). But more importantly in his defense: he probably took a break, and got recharged. He’s been pretty open about his mental health struggles, so he probably thought he would never come back unless it was amazing, took a break, got recharged, starting getting itchy to work/bored, and then he either liked the script, saw it as particularly low stress/fun, or just wanted some money.

It’s worth noting that not only did I not have to create this meme, I didn’t have to Google that hard to find it.

Ah, gotcha. Well, best of luck. I’ll let you know what I think when my beta invite comes in. Still waiting.

Have you looked at direct integration with Garmin Connect? My guess is they and probably Fitbit have the huge majority of the market.

I’m actually dumb and my Garmin tracks my steps, so I DO know exactly how many I take (27,689 weekly). Damn I need to use my treadmill desk more consistently. That’s low.

I saw in other comments wearables don’t work. That’s kind of a bummer. I like to leave my phone charging on my desk and let the watch track.

I signed up, happy to try it out and give feedback. No idea what my average number of steps is because I don’t super care about that, but I’d expect it to go way up if I suddenly did care (through a gamified app).

Everyone calling it a shooter MOBA is right, but more basically: It’s Smite. It’s just Smite, but good. I played the Smite 2 alpha and it was very lame, no verticality, gunplay felt bad. Deadlock has an original theme, gunplay feels tight, and there is clearly a huge skill ceiling. I don’t know if it’s 100% yet, which tracks cuz it’s an alpha, but it’s already better than Smite and I have faith they’ll make it better.

Anyone using bots that are openly bots would be limiting their shit to robots.txt. Anyone who is out trawling the whole website is probably obfuscating what they’re doing by spoofing new user agents.

DOTA popularized and also invented the battle pass mechanic.

You’re both sadist and poetic boor.

Yeah I didn’t realize votes were essentially public already. This will 100% change my voting patterns. The problem is, I’m an idealist who still follows old school reddit voting guidelines of “this adds to the conversation” or not…so I upvote stuff I don’t agree with as long as it is well thought out, well said, or at least civil and trying to have a good conversation. When I remember to, I also tend to downvote vitriolic nonsense or pithy nothing comments even if I agree with the values, because I don’t think it helps anyone to have annoying angry echo chambers. That’s like…the entire Internet right now, and Lemmy is already bad enough with that. It doesn’t need to get worse by making sure everyone is voting in lockstep lest they get brigaded (which there are no inherent protections against).

You forgot a likely $1000 a month in after tax student loan payments.

It pops up on steam and says you’ve been invited to a game test.

Sent. Should come through in a couple hours I guess. They’re pretty slow.
