Instance Admins: Check Your Instance for Vote Manipulation Accounts [PSA]
  • Re: Downvote bots. I can't say they're necessarily bots, but my instance has scripts that flag accounts that exclusively give out downvotes and then bans them. That's about the best I can do, at present, to counter those for my users.

    It is usually not a good idea to specify what your exact metrics are for a ban. A bad actor could see that and then get around it by randomly upvoting something every now and then.

  • Is overwatch 2 really that bad?
  • The same goes for pretty much everything in life, not just games. It might suck in the short term, but just don't put up with friends/partners/jobs you don't like. Make a change

  • Rust for Linux revisited (by Drew DeVault)
  • Sure, but even if they started tomorrow it would probably be years before it even could be considered experimental outside of the most daring early adaptors.

    Having a combability layer is not ideal but it would mean they could have something worker for more users faster and at the same time see which modules/drivers they should focus on.

  • What is your preferred API error response and why?
  • What I meant was that if you are returning 404 for example when a user doesn't exist. You can't tell if the user doesn't exist or someone changed the API to remove the endpoint.

    But forcing HTTP codes without a moment to think it through seems to be the new fad.

  • What is your preferred API error response and why?
  • The clown, but flipped with a success field. If it is true then command succeeded, if it false something was wrong and there should be an error field as well.

    HTTP codes should be used for the actual transport, not shoe-horned to fit the data. I know not everyone will agree with this, but we don't have to.

  • CSS finally adds vertical centering in 2024
  • Rounded corners tho… <shudder>

    Just a small gif (as png didn't exist/widely supported) that had the rounded corner. Then if someone wanted to change the color or background you would have to redo all the images. Fun fun.

  • Organic Maps got removed from Google Play Store.
  • Sometimes they can be challenging or overgrown, so you have to know what you're doing and be prepared to turn back if necessary, but I owe a lot of truly incredible experiences to this app.

    Since it uses OpenStreetMap you should consider updating it for others later. Don't think you can do it in Organic, but it can be as simple as in a browser adding a note to a trail about what state it is in.

  • The Paradox DLC model is good
  • I don't mind it either, they need some way to finance the development. However I wish they would make packs of older DLCs and sell those cheaper.

    For example in Europa Universalis IV you need a whole bunch of DLC, and buying seven 5 year old DLCs for full price is just not very appealing. Sure, you can try and wait for sales but they are not always available when you want to get them.
