I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • This is what I assumed,but if it helps in any other way, I’m happy to wishlist more games from small time developers.

    I use likes and subs liberally on apps like YouTube or TikTok, even if I wouldn’t normally want to subscribe. It costs me nothing to do and gives someone else joy. Why wouldn’t I?

    Eh, it messes up my algorithm but I don’t care. These Corporations know too much about me anyway, might as well give them a curveball.

  • I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • Does Wishlisting a game help the developer in anyway other than indicating excitement for a game?

    I’d love to know if there an any incentive to interacting with a game’s store page other than buying a game, obviously.

    If Steam gives a bonus for that kind of thing, I’m going to be a lot more generous with my clicks.

  • Apple Shares Full iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Repair Manuals
  • I see a lot of commenters really hate Apple, but to clarify, the manual isn’t what’s important here.

    According the article, the manuals indicate that the iPhone 16 is actually easier to repair. This is good news for consumers, independent repair shops, and the environment.

    You can use a 9-volt battery to remove adhesive and they’ve added more support for Face-ID when replacing the LIDAR sensor.

    We still have a long way to go for our right to repair but, the pressure that we put on companies and governments to make change is working. We should celebrate that.

  • Home Depot to pay $2 million settlement for overcharging customers
  • I used to work there. We were allowed up to $50 without approval from a manager. It’s one of the things I liked about working there. If the customer told me the price was incorrect, I’d just fix it. We didn’t fight over a couple dollars. It wasn’t worth it.

  • Trump's ex-FBI official: We have 'many reasons' to think the former U.S. president is a Russian 'asset'
  • I’m not disagreeing but I also see that the judicial system is pretty bad right now.

    I’m guessing if anything happened to him under Democrat lawmakers, he’d just make himself out to be a martyr. It’s kind of a lose-lose situation for Biden to do anything about. To be honest. I don’t know who has that power anyway.

  • Idk…some animals are just like that. I have two dogs. One is unquestionably a dog. One might be an animorph or a human trapped in a dogs body. He’s so much smarter. I don’t teach him things but he figures it out in his own. Ex: opening doors, making trades, knowing individual names of people/animals, etc. I didn’t teach him any of that.

    And when I adopted the “dog” dog he would look at what the “human” dog was doing and copy it to get treats.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if a cat wanted attention so it acted like someone else. Sometimes, I suspect animals are a lot smarter and more aware than humans give them credit for.

  • Chew toys for extreme chewers
  • My dog is the same. We get these fake sticks. They are made out of wood but they don’t splinter and they aren’t as hard as Nylon toys. The pet store sells them in various brands.

    I’ve also had good luck with some extra durable fabric toys but I still have to watch him. I don’t mind if he shreds them, as long as he doesn’t eat them. The key with those is the shape of the toy. It can’t have ears or small bits dangling off the side. He chews those right off then pulls the stuffing out.

  • I’m not saying this has never happened but I think this is a sensationalized article meant to get books banned.

    These books aren’t sold in the kids section. If someone found it and bought it, they were browsing an adult section.

    EDIT: I just spoke to a friend of mine who sells romance books in her shop. It is a bit of a problem, but not because of libraries or places like her shop. It’s places like Walmart or Target that just chuck the book on any old shelf and parents that don’t actually review the book without buying it.

  • In Leaked Audio, Amazon Cloud CEO Says AI Will Soon Make Human Programmers a Thing of the Past
  • The thing that I see most is that AI is dumb and can’t do it yet so we don’t need to worry about this.

    To me, it’s not about whether it can or not. If the people in charge think it can, they’ll stop hiring. There is a lot of waste in some big companies so they might not realize it’s not working right away.

    Source: I work for a big company that doesn’t do things efficiently.

  • ‘NIGHTTIME BLUES’ [OC]
  • I laughed at your reply, upvoted, and started to scroll when I remembered my TV has a “screen off” feature. I use it at bedtime to listen to futurama without the light making my sleep bad.

    At some point the show stops playing and goes to a menu. You actually wouldn't know the TV is on if it wasn’t for the light. 😑

  • Where to learn about engines?

    Hello! Don’t know if this is the right community to post this question, but maybe you can help.

    I want to learn about cars and engines. I’m a pretty mechanical person and I like to tinker. I can do basics, like changing my own oil etc.

    I want to do some hands on learning, but I don’t have a ton of money to spend or space to work in. I was wondering if you had suggestions on something small and affordable I can get to learn about engines. I was thinking a lawn mower or a scooter but I don’t know how similar those would be to a car.

    Do you have any advice?

    Staying Focused While Waiting

    How do you stayed focused on a task when the task involves some type of waiting?

    For example, I have a really hard time staying focused at work. The problem for me is, our software can be really really really slow. While I’m waiting for Outlook to load an email, or our internal tooling to populate data, I find my mind is wandering. Often, I’ll start on another task or pick up my phone and just completely forget about the first thing I started.

    At the end of the day, I have to figure out why I have 8 half written emails open in the background of my PC.

    How do you stay on track when your tasks require patience?

    I just noticed the Australian man from Spa 5 is also on Osiris 4 in a later episode

    I’ve seen this show thousands of times. I have most of it memorized to the point where I can recite it from memory, but I still catch new things all the time. That’s one of my favorite things about this show.

    What’s something you realized after rewatching the show several times?

    Behavior - Getting a second dog

    About a year ago, I adopted a 2nd dog. For the most part they get along pretty well. They like to play together and for the most part they play well together.

    After a few months, they would cuddle up together, but I noticed my first dog started sleeping in a really tight ball. To the point his head is almost facing behind him.

    I googled it. It seems that position is defensive. He never slept like that before. I can tell he does it now when he is upset about something.

    He doesn’t seem to like to sleep near the 2nd dog. He will go into a room and sleep alone. Of course, the 2nd dog wants to sleep with him so he follows and and curls up next to him. He doesn’t get mad when this happens but I can tell he doesn’t like it.

    They still play together pretty well. He even initiates play time with the 2nd dog. He does those big goofy hops when he is trying to get 2nd dog to play with him. It’s cute.

    TLDR: how can I help my 1st dog feel more comfortable around my 2nd dog outside of play time?

    I'm a Bethesda hoarder and a crazy person, so I made a spreadsheet. I know there's a mod if you're on PC, but I'm on Xbox so I needed some help. Thought you might be interested. I got the data from Starfield Wiki and just added simple functions for the ratios.

    How do you handle cable management?

    I work from home and I’m going to school so I spend a lot of time at my desk. I can’t work if it’s cluttered and these cables are driving me crazy.

    I built a custom desk using IKEA countertop and file cabinets that runs the full length of my wall. One half is for computer and one half is for other projects that need space!

    I love it except the cables are wild and have a mind of their own. I’ve been researching methods so I was wondering:

    How do you manage cables?

    PS! All your stations have been awesome so far. I’m jealous!

    Do you code on iPad?

    Do you code on an iPad? Why or why not? If you do, what code editor do you use?

    I don’t have a laptop I usually code on my desktop, but I work from home so I get tired of sitting in the same place for so long. I’ve been doing it on my iPad and it seems to be doable!

    I tried a few free apps for ipadOS. Some were okay, some were not. I’m willing to pay but I don’t want to spend money randomly on apps I don’t like.

    CodeSpaces on GitHub seems to be the best option so far, but it’s a pay as you go structure and not a singular cost.

    I liked the UI of Runestone, but many critical features are locked behind a paywall.

    Replit seemed decent too but it seems very cloud focused and I already use GitHub.

    Koder* seems like it has the most free access features but UI wasn’t intuitive and I couldn’t figure out how to type in a file if I switched pages and came back to my original file.

    I hear Textastic is pretty good but side it’s paid with no trial period, I didn’t try it yet. I wanted to get some feedback before I started paying for anything.

    Let me know what you use. Share your tips with Lemmy!
