I know it’s not consistent but I read them like zsh = zee shell, ssh I spell out “s s h”, sudo I say /ˈsuː.doʊ/. or “soo dough”

I found out that Satisfactory is on sale right now, and will go up in price by $10 after the sale. So if you want it before 1.0 comes out now would be a great time.

Basically this Futurama bit. I knew this joke felt familiar.

A shocking number of users would be hard pressed to figure out how to type in a url to a mobile web browser… or even know what that is, and they deserve a nice user interface too. App stores make it easier to find, too.

Stardew valley is 2D so fewer controls to learn than a 3D game. It also has a cute art style.

They said “primarily”, not “exclusively.”

I can only speak from the experience of one app at one company, but data we collected was for troubleshooting. Mainly because customers will email us stuff like “your app doesn’t work!!! Worst company ever!!” And absolutely no identifying information whatsoever. To make matters worse they’ll email with an email that they didn’t give us as a customer so how in the world are we supposed to help‽
So we collect enough data so whoever in the company might need to help them can actually do so.
There’s a lot of “this app is impossible to use!!!” That we find out with enough data collection is just them refusing to hit the GIANT button in the middle of the damn screen that would solve their problem. I hate users.
I believe we answered questions in the Apple and Google stores that says that we collect information and send it to 3rd parties (because analytics platforms are technically 3rd party) but not to sell it. I don’t know if that distinction is clear on the stores though.

This could be the opening line in a high school textbook for a course on how to use the Internet

I didn’t?

Negative percentages

…not that that should be possible though. It uses sumy to do the summaries.

The transparency may be my very favorite part of Lemmy. It’s almost feels like these people are invested in it’s success instead of it’s profit.

If we stop spam accounts from brand new or low usage servers those could both be easily mailed (emulated activity, pre-create instances and let them marinate)

I don’t know much about how making new instances works, but could someone create instances in large qualities with smaller populations with the goal of giving human moderators too much work to defederate them all?

You guys had better quit it with all this amazing transparency or it’s going to completely ruin every other service for me. Seriously though amazing work and amazing communication.
