Please note that I wasn’t passing judgement with my comment, I’m just stating that it will happen with pretty much all Linux distributions.

For example, when upgrading major Debian versions, the same will happen - but you’ll usually get thrown into a full screen TUI with interactive buttons asking you how to proceed. So it isn’t really possible to leave the system in a non-functional state.

Definitely check out a different, stability first distro. However, note that you will then have the problem of software being old when you want a new feature!

New optional dependencies also happen in other distributions, just happens a lot less as they aren’t rolling release distributions.

Learning to parse terminal output for what’s relevant is a good and sometimes necessary skill.

I’ve been using arch for almost a decade, and haven’t had the system break.

I also don’t use aur helpers as I don’t like or trust them - I do tend to read PKGBUILDs before using them.

Still shocked that OP thought a new opt-depends was “lost in pages and pages of changelogs”.

The trending page is separate from subscriptions.

I mean, honestly that translation is correct - it just lands differently in English as the idioms don’t really carry the same level of weight. Grok did just threaten to wipe out his family tree starting at the roots - devastating, to say the least.

I guess profanity filters only apply to English?

First paragraph of the post states:

Administration is currently done by the same team responsible for Lemmy.World, and the same rules that apply to Lemmy.World also apply to PieFed.World.

That’s because most of them are playing F2P video games on their mobile devices.

Good. The fault is absolutely on Epic for not putting in proper confirmation dialogues for spending resources tied to real world currency.

And, as a former f2p/mobile game dev, I don’t buy the argument of “we didn’t know that would happen!”. They absolutely knew, and were trying their luck.

Thing is, they most likely made a lot more in erroneous purchases than what they have to pay in reimbursements (think people accidentally pressing a button, making an erroneous purchase, then choosing to “live with it because the amount was small anyway”)… So, in the long run the deceptive practice probably paid off for them.

Though, I hope this lawsuit dissuades them from trying it again.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about Epic’s finances, so any assumption made above is just that: a baseless assumption, backed only by the fact I’ve had many similar experiences.

I’m with you. I’m curious how it’ll go.

The response is less of a response, more of an explanation of their current feelings pertaining to matrix. Seems odd when Matthew made some clear, individual points that could’ve been addressed.

Except the premium offering pretty much just relates to media upload limit. I’m honestly surprised that they even allowed people to upload as much as they do.

Makes sense to limit free users (will also help with spam) if they’re not drowning in VC money.

Yes, this would be a great feature - but it’s a big issue to implement. It’s talked about in this video, worth watching if you’re curious about it.

As far as status go, this issue on the matrix spec is what you want to follow.

I am!

I need Charlotte’s take on more things.

As a guy who spent the majority of his life in a dictatorship, you’re correct: be very careful of what you say online.

There’s a point that they eventually get to where they just send law enforcement after you for things like tweets - they do it to make examples of folk, so they end up casting a very wide net. It’s definitely not worth getting caught in it.

Having said that, I still like the US! Just need to apply the usual fascist state warnings from now on: watch what you say, mind who you spend time with, and watch where you go. Avoid large crowds etc. etc.

Agents provocateurs spotted! The top comment guy was right all along!

Cool. Thanks for the contribution to the discussion!

All the Japanese ones are like this - referred to as “Washlets” in Toto’s case. Iirc the bidet terminology can be problematic in the EU as bidets are technically what they use in Italy.

Good luck finding one, but Toto definitely sells them there, too! See here for more info.

I use a Toto Washlet C2. I live in an old apartment that only has the classic “round” styled seats (to save space), and this works with that.

Couldn’t recommend it more. Has a self wash, but I still wash it every couple of months by hand.

No dirtier than a normal toilet, and the premist functionality reduces stickage and the amount I need to clean.

No need to get an ultra fancy toilet, and this model (the c2) has all the fancy features at a relatively low price (no detachable remote, no profiles, no instant water heater) (I don’t think any of those are worth the extra cost).

Your “the only way” argument is literally how they are all sold. Maybe do even the lightest bit of research before declaring you have no option but to continue doing the worst thing possible?

“We’ve done nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”

Edit: Reading this back I was kind of mean. Obviously you’re entitled to your own preferences, but bidets have solved most of those problems already and are definitely worth checking out.
