You're not alone. Especially over the past few months, fonts on mobile seemed slightly off. The new design looks way better in comparison as the typography is consistent across the entire app.

I dunno. Just speculation (here's a grain of salt but) people may be sick of Nitro because of all the features that Nitro users are asked to pay more for. It's weird to remind people who are paying a subscription for an app that there's a store where they can pay more for stuff.

I'm kinda scared that the trailer was knee deep in "from the ____ who did _____ ."

Granted, it's a teaser trailer, but it would have been cool to see a little more of what this show has to offer. e.g. The Boyz is great, because the story adapted from it's source material was already interesting. I'd love to learn more about the story of this adaptation, esp since there's a lot they'd have to do to turn the non linear, choose your own adventure source material into a non-interactive story.

Feels like the showrunners and story writers would have the opposite challenge of, say, The Last of Us. There, it was all about retelling an existing story and resisting the urge to reinvent too much.

Here they'd need to pick one of many stories and fill in a bunch of gaps.

Hope it works out ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™

It's more down to trust and attestation than a technical implementation. Whoever makes an NFC payment system needs to prove to payment processors that the chain of software and hardware from the payment terminal to whatever proves you're the account holder (a card or a phone) can be identified. And, separately, the implementation needs to be audited.

This may sound like they're trying to make this horrible walled garden on the surface, but bank users expect their money to not get stolen. And if it is, they expect the bank to make that problem disappear. The bank can only provide these assurances if they control everything.

This is why they use hardware attestation and a chain of trust all the way through to the OS to identify the specific implementation of an NFC payment system. They want to know they can go after whoever created the buggy NFC payment implementation to recover the money or to least stop partnering with them.

Not a lot of FOSS developers would go through the trouble.

I guess another example of the Portal technique, where the teaching moments are blended into gameplay, is Cocoon. It takes that concept to an extreme.

Can't wait for a sequel/DLC tho.

The more established term is a live service game: A game where development continues far beyond release with a trickle of content to keep players playing (and paying).

Yah. Fandom is an Adblock-required site. And even then it's pretty hard to browse.

It's weird how I didn't really care about the pinhole camera or my Pixel 5 weird dimensions until Ambient Mode started highlighting it. When ambient mode shipped (silently), I seriously thought I forgot that the aspect ratio wasn't 16:9 and the pinhole was so visible all these years. Turns out the bars hid these distractions.

The feature looks great on Desktop, but on mobile, I kinda prefer the bars actually hiding the edges of the screen, esp in fullscreen mode in a darker room.

It's cool that you can just turn it off, and hopefully, in the future, they let you toggle the feature in fullscreen and portrait mode separately.

Heh. Kinda related, but any competitive multiplayer game's community makes way more content than a post out of even one line patch notes. This is normal.

It's cool that someone passionate enough about Cyberpunk (or CDPR themselves) posted it to drive discussion about the efforts they're making to continue to turn around that insanely horrible launch. The comments show that at least someone cared to see the post.

Sync for Lemmy is a different app from Sync for Reddit. So the in-app purchases won't transfer. There's nothing to transfer.

tl;dr - Second option usually.

I think a huge part of shell programming (besides recognizing when anything more maintainable will do ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚) is trying to allow others who aren't as familiar to maintain what you've written. Shell is full of pitfalls, not the least of which is quoting and guaranteeing how many arguments you pass to commands and functions.

To me, the whole point of quoting here is to be crystal clear about where command arguments begin and end in spite of variable substitution. For this reason I usually go for the second option. It very clearly describes how I'm trying to avoid a pitfall by wrapping each argument to find in a pair of quotes: in this case, double quotes to allow variable substitution.

Sometimes it's clearer to use the first approach. For example, if the constant parts of one of those arguments contains a lot of special characters, it may make it clearer to use the first approach with the constant parts wrapped in single quotes.

But even then there are more clear ways to create a string out of other strings. For example, the slightly slower, and more verbose use of printf and a variable, and then using that variable as an argument...wrapped in double quotes since it could contain special characters.
