Oh no, it’s worse than I thought, you must be blind then. (Folks with red-green color blindness would see a 17 in that picture.)

:P

I think, the problem is rather that they have no budget for marketing. If they become visible on Steam, that’s significantly more visibility than they can hope for from a few social media posts…

So, quick quiz question: What number do you see in this picture?

Gibt tatsächlich keine so richtig gute Übersetzung für “to post something”.

Man kann “veröffentlichen” (“publish”) sagen, aber das klingt sehr formal/wichtig, als hättest Du ein Buch verfasst.
Äh, “verfassen” (“to author something”) kann man theoretisch auch sagen, klingt aber auch formal.
Manchmal macht “hochladen” (“upload”) Sinn, aber eben nur wenn man tatsächlich ein Bild oder Video irgendwo hochlädt.
Und auf der deutschen Fassung der Lemmy-Webseite wird “(Beitrag) erstellen” (“create (post)”) verwendet, klingt aber immernoch einigermaßen formal und man muss eben dazu sagen, dass ein Beitrag erstellt wurde.

Deshalb wird informell schon auch tatsächlich ein denglisches Wort verwendet, nämlich “posten”. Also ausgesprochen wie das englische “post” + das normale -en.

GIMP’s focus isn’t on drawing, but rather on manipulating photographs. If you want to be drawing circles easily, then Krita or Inkscape or any number of simple paint applications will do that…

To be honest, I have no idea. I’m not a Roman numerals/date crack myself. The tattoo definitely wouldn’t have been faithful in that regard, but it’s also not like they intended to be accurate down to that level…

Personally, I like it as an example here, because yes, technically you can’t know for sure that a fish feels pain, much like you can’t know for sure that a cat feels empathy, but it’s illogical to assume that if we don’t know about it that it doesn’t have it. The base assumption should be that these animals are similar to us, because they’re really not that different from us.
In particular, pain and empathy are crucial to survival for us. It would be extraordinary, if fish and cats survived without any notion of it.

For that purpose, I use a language with a decent compiler, but I know not everyone is as lucky…

(they anatomically can not have empathy)

You got a source on that? Not to be rude, but it sounds like the nonsense that meat eaters in denial tell each other like “fish can’t feel pain”, even though when you poke a fish, it obviously reacts to that.

I have a web music player that I’ve developed, and while it was never really intended to be used by others, I thought I had generally followed accessibility best practices. After using it for about two years, I realized that I never even implemented keyboard shortcuts. 🫠

Which is to say, one shouldn’t assume devs to know what they’re doing. At some point, I’m also just a user and I use software like everyone else does, meaning I pick out a path that works for me and then I hardly look left and right from there.
Features not being tested when you don’t use them yourself, that happens with any feature. But it’s much worse for UI features, because those are difficult to automate tests for. And accessibility is in an even worse spot, because it necessarily opens up a separate path, which is going to be invisible to me as a user, so it gets covered by neither automated tests nor by me just using the software.

I have to go out of my way to test accessibility, which means I have to be aware that a change I’m making might introduce a regression. That’s genuinely how lots of amateur developers work, which is probably the best explanation why accessibility support is often so amateur-ish…

I mean, there’s definitely gonna be worse out there, but I once saw a tattoo on an online post, of presumably their date of birth in roman numerals.
Problem is, there was only one “M”, so it looked something like: IV/X/MCXCIV

But I figured, alright, let’s not assume things, maybe they’re a history buff and something cool happened on that day in 1194.
But if I remember correctly, I found some list of all Wikipedia articles for specific dates and that day did not have an article, because nothing noteworthy had happened.

So, yeah, I guess we do have to assume that they are in fact a vampire.

That’s always kind of bothered me about the whole generative AI thingamabob. Why are we generating things and storing them, when the ability to generate more of it is right there?

I mean, I know in lots of cases the output is extremely flaky, so it’s not as easy to just generate the same thing again, but yeah, it still feels kind of backwards…

Literally just came back from filling the washing machine. Are you stalking me?

I’m guessing either because it looks like blood, or because it contains actually a lot of metal in terms of minerals…?

I really don’t know, if it contains the most amount of metal among veggies, though. Apparently, it does contain a noteworthy amount of manganese.
And I just compared it to potatoes and green beans, and well, it seems to contain rather much iron and sodium, but magnesium, zinc, copper, potassium are fairly average.

A while ago, I was out on a walk and there was a cat sat squarely in the middle of a road that’s basically only used by farmers. As I walked by, I figured, alright, I’ll just walk calmly all the way on my side of the road, so I don’t disturb her. She meowed at me all the way through.

When I was back home, I realized that she actually wanted me to pet her. And yeah, I just thought that sounds about right, that I’m socially awkward even when no humans are involved…

Unfortunately really not a high bar.

Normal person: We should improve society somewhat.
MAGA: Woke. What is wrong with that person? Why are they aware of issues that we face as a society? We need to put a stop to this by voting for a guy who’s never lived an ordinary day in his entire life.

I don’t think that was entirely serious…

Problem is that it’s also an impossible equation to expect customers to keep paying higher prices despite inflation nixing their wages. I really don’t know what they expect to happen. Many people will simply wait until it goes on sale.
I guess, it’s a way to squeeze the day-one rich kids a bit more? But at the same time, you’re cutting down sales when the hype is biggest. And if two people spend $60 each, that’s more money than if only one of them ends up buying your game…

Yeah, it can be quite hit-and-miss. Some vegan cheese tastes like fat and stinky feet. But on the other hand, I’ve had sliced cheese and cream cheese, which I liked better than the original.

Main limiting factor at that point was the selection. I could get one or two kinds of good sliced cheeses, not ten+ like you might get for the non-vegan side of things. But yeah, I branched out more towards legumes and nuts, then the selection is good, too.
