Patents are (at their core) a good thing. It protects little Jimmy Inventor from putting hours and his blood, sweat and tears into coming up with a novel invention, only for some big corpo to see it, steal the idea and bully Jimmy out of the market.

Jimmy has legal recourse to sue the big corpo if he has a patent, whereas without one he has nothing.

Just because the system’s been gamed (especially in the US) doesn’t mean it’s impossible to reform, and is currently still better than nothing.

Really looking forward to this once it’s complete! I’m currently using ranmaru22’s vertical tabs, but having something native that won’t risk breaking with FF updates will be nice.

Yeah I hopped back over from Edge when the manifest v3 stuff came out, and the two main things I miss are proper profile management and vertical tabs - I’ve been using https://codeberg.org/ranmaru22/firefox-vertical-tabs to get around it currently, but having a native implementation to both issues will be a massive (and recently rare) Firefox W.

Too bad, you get a battlepass instead!

Arkham Knight is decent except for the batmobile sections - as others have already mentioned.

I’d still argue it’s better than Origins though. From memory, memorising all the different toolbelt skills isn’t really necessary - you can definitely get through the game by just abusing jumps, cloak and counters - some special enemies might need a specific ability to make vulnerable, but the game normally warns you the first time you fight them, so I don’t think it ever feels too overwhelming - it just feels like a lot if you run through it very quickly.

If I really hate front end, but still want a lot of the responsiveness of a SPA, I’d have to give ASP.NET Blazor a serious thought.

It’s largely all back end driven, with the dynamic elements driven via webassembly that pretty much works like black magic.

Is there any reason to use the Bitwarden Firefox extension rather than the app?

Have to disagree with you on echoes - I loved the game, but IMO it was much easier than Prime 1 - the most difficult boss was the probably the boost guardian midway through rather than any of the endgame bosses. The ammo system made the standard power beam too centralising which was boring, and the dark world damage just served to slow the player down, since the light fields regenerated your health.

No one’s suggested it yet, so I’ll say Fire Emblem: Three Houses - lots of gameplay hours, especially if you want to go through each of the four storylines, albeit can be a bit repetitive getting to that point.

Here’s another example where trying to chase the live-service money train has just ended up with a subpar product that people abandon or avoid almost instantly.

Unfortunately I suspect the wrong lessons will be taken away from this as well - e.g. the console/PC gaming market is too fickle, etc.

Lazy Web devs who took the ‘mobile first’ mantra to mean ‘mobile only’ 🙄

I had this exact fight with my team several months ago, and lost to popular opinion since the rest of my team are either zoomers or indifferent.

Can confirm that the first doesn’t work on Alexandrite, but the second works as expected.

I think you’re right and it’s frontend-specific - I’m using Alexandrite and it shows perfectly, but I just checked the default Lemmy UI and it doesn’t handle it properly either.

Tbh it sounds more and more like it’s a kbin interaction problem rather than anything you’re doing…

Not sure if there’s any way for you to resolve it other than getting a Beehaw mod to update it for you.

If you look at the source between your post and the OP of this chain, you can see that they haven’t got any special link formatting, but the links will all work correctly for any lemmy user no matter their instance - not sure if kbin handles it correctly.

e.g. [!destroy\_my\_game](https://programming.dev/c/destroy_my_game) vs !destroy_my_game@programming.dev

I suspect it’s just a convenience thing, since a number of your links point to kbin.cafe search results.

I think Lemmy uses ! for instances because @ is used for users - e.g. I expect that @floppy@reabbitea.rs will automatically link to your profile on your instance (and link to your profile on any other viewer’s instance - e.g. for me it should link to an aussie.zone URL).

It’s probably a design decision to differentiate communities from users.

Since you’re posting to a lemmy instance (beehaw), you should probably use the lemmy style - i.e. !community@instance - I don’t think there’s any need to create an explicit link since I think most UIs will format it for you.

If we want authors to survive, we’ve got to stop assuming that authors’ intellectual labour is a public commodity.

The irony being that this is exactly what copyright was originally intended to facilitate - authors creating works to become public domain within a relatively short period of time.
