Game development as a service.

A fair point but I was meaning from a cultural vandalism angle.

Final Fantasy VIII, why are you crying?

Arguably copyright is worse.

Yep, but not on Lemmy. She uses Mastodon.

It’s to do with how I think about numbers, rounding, and margins of error. I don’t know how to express that better, I’m sorry.

I was not raised using inches for anything. It’s not a cultural thing, it’s a use case I’ve found them useful for.

Recipes I use regularly say “2cm chunks” and the like. I’ve never seen one measure in fingers.

I wish we had a metric inch because the fuzziness can be useful.
“How small do you need these veggies diced?”
“2.5cm ish” vs. “about an inch”

I feel like the implied margin of error is much larger for inches, which make them useful for many things where precision isn’t necessarily desirable (hemming, wargaming, moving furniture, etc…). If I’m wargaming having a limit on rounding is useful (half an inch - either round up or down), assuming I’m playing at a scale that uses inches.

Feet I have no use for, with one exception - adult human height between 5’ 2" and 6’ 2". There I find metric too precise (whereas to the nearest inch accounts for variance in sole thickness, hair volume, etc.).

I wasn’t raised on imperial (and I’m baffled that people younger than me in the UK still talk about stones. Sixteen stone is fat, sure, but I’ve no idea how fat if not told in kilos) but I find inches to have their uses.

Also miles for cars - because common speeds are ~60 and ~30 mph so a road sign effectively gives the time to arrival (e.g. 13 miles on a motorway = about 13 minutes). I don’t use them for actually measuring distance on a map but they’re handy when driving.

Someone did not understand that movie at all.

I thought the US supreme court ruled that the US president could break whatever laws they want as long as it’s vaguely part of “doing their job”?

I have five users, max, and barely any files. I don’t know which one Nextcloud AIO uses and I don’t care. There’s no wrong answer for such a small deployment. It uses whatever database Nextcloud felt was sensible as the default. They know more about picking the right tool for their requirements than I do.

If I’m building something for myself, then I care.

I like to think that’s to go with Danny Butterman loading a shotgun.

I detest how one-way these things are. I am morally outraged any time I see a street preacher, or cultists giving out copies of their literature to children, or cultists coming to my door to question my beliefs. It’s morally abhorrent, as far as I’m concerned.

I’m supposed to tolerate their batshit nonsense but they’re allowed to do what they like? What makes their strongly held beliefs more important than mine?

That was the point of my question, to be honest. I don’t understand. Cheating in a single player game to experience it I get. Unlimited ammo, all unlocks, that kind of thing - it lets the game be played differently. But against other players it seems completely pointless from my perspective.

But if one cheats then it’s not a real win?

I meant multiplayer games in general. People do it in games with no loot mechanics.

What’s even the point of cheating in multiplayer?

Gottlieb Pinball Classics. Easily my favourite game on the platform.

Sure, but the point still stands that the placement of the symbol isn’t one nation standing alone - it’s one of two options and the world is split. Some currencies work one way, some the other.

I don’t like France but I still respect it’s preferred placement of its currency symbols, both present and historic. Seems rather arrogant otherwise.
