You will find yourself being that next person when you haven’t touched the code for a week and come back to add something and are like wtf.

Luvon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Spotify Premium User Slams App Over Audiobook Feature13·11 months ago“the 15 hours customers get free with premium equates to two audiobooks” Is the average audiobook really that short!
For eragon it would takes months to finish.
The hobbit is 10 hours.
Think most of the books I’ve listened to have been over that length, but I don’t use Spotify. Self hosting for the win. No time limits in prologue

Luvon@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Alan Wake II Has yet to Recoup Development and Marketing Expenses; Tencent Raised Stakes in Remedy to 14%1·1 year agoI use playknight, though I still don’t buy from epic.
Play knight gives me an overview of all humble keys I haven’t used as well as gog, steam, epic, etc.
Just helps me make sure I don’t buy a game on sale that I own
Lemon bars 🤤
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules1·1 year agoFor me it’s much easier to lock the phone by holding any volume and power then to remember the sequence needed to force power of the phone.
Clicking 5 times on power is probably faster, but I forgot that existed and if I’m trying to do something quickly essentially squeezing my phone is easier than trying to tap the correct side 5 times quickly under pressure. And much easier to me then trying to remember the force power off sequence and performing it without looking under stress.
Especially on the iPhone 15 pros there is now another button so getting the up down up power means finding the correct up button.
I’ve looked up that sequence numerous times when I’ve needed to force reboot and I still forget it half the time.
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules9·1 year agoCan they force you to look at your phone though? Attention aware Face ID requires eyes ball on screen.
And as others have stated, holding volume up and power u til the iPhone vibrates locks the phone requiring the passcode.
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules3·1 year agoSure but holding volume up and power until the phone vibrates is a much faster and easier method and there is little worry you might accidentally call 911. It’s also easier to do without looking.
It has a countdown before calling with vibrations on every number.

Software in general won’t void your hardware warranty. That’s ridiculous.
Graphic audio sells cds as well as direct downloads of mp3s or m4bs chapterized, or even flacc for a surcharge.
They do dramatized audiobook recordings with full casts, music, sound effects, etc.
They are very good
1blocker has so far been pretty good at keeping up with YouTube’s changes on iOS on the iPhone on safari. Safari on iOS has allowed full extensions for several years now.
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•I see your Outlook (new) and I raise you Microsoft Teams classic (work or school)10·1 year agoI had this as well, it’s because the pinned version will still be pointing to the old version even after you agreed to upgrade.
You have to unpin the old version, and pin the new version.
Reallllly stupid upgrade from them.
I remember this being discussed when Apple first announced it because developers have to hand off graphics to the os so the os can do the divested rendering specifically because Apple didn’t want individual apps to be able to gather data about where users are looking.
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Valve's taken down Portal 64, a passion project to demake Portal for the Nintendo 640·1 year agoFrom what I read of the portal64 project it did require owning the original (or having a copy of it) because it patches the assets from the base game.
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Not even Notepad is safe from Microsoft’s big AI push in Windows1·1 year agoSearch, I’m a programmer and frequently need clips of text I’ve used before, especially with some sap stuff I do. I don’t need to edit that much, but I do pin, tag, and label snippets a lot.
Sap backend data has a lot of “keys” related to my test user that I need repeatedly, the key for the user, the key for their position, the department, etc. and having them all in my clipboard is very practically.
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Not even Notepad is safe from Microsoft’s big AI push in Windows2·1 year agoFor keeping copy paste stuff, I use a clipboard manager that lets me edit and pin and search the clip board history
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Updates regarding the IndieLand / The Completionist charity fraud allegations3·1 year agoLaws are only as good as the enforcers are financed. The irs has been underfunded a lot.
Luvon@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Updates regarding the IndieLand / The Completionist charity fraud allegations9·1 year agoHe didn’t even manage to donate all the money they claimed to have on their tax filings from over a year ago. There is another entire indie land after that at least.
So no. He hasn’t even donated all the money. His “apology” was also pretty much a non apology. “Sorry if you felt mislead”.
Await is usually there either because the performance doesn’t matter and the legibility is much higher with it, and/or because there are a series of asynchronous actions that depend on each other and await lets you write them as if they are sync because related to each other they are.
