I need to do another vertical factory playthrough. That playthrough was a bit of a blueprint headache because no vertical splitters. Imagine a 5x5 grid (7x7 would've made it easier but IMO we unlock it way too late in the game for it to be useful in that playthrough) getting 4 inputs coming up from the bottom, rotating them to become horizontal, then splitting them so half of the 4 inputs could go into the manufacturer and the other half positioned in a way that when they get rotated back into vertical their output would align with the input. It was a mess, I nearly gave up.

And when you got the blueprint ready it was really annoying to connect the blueprints so hopefully the auto-connect solves the other issue I had with vertical builds.

I was coming here to mention Dark Souls. It's an excellent example of how to make a tutorial not feel like a tutorial. Either you take the time to understand what the game is telling you or not, up to you. Don't care about going through the entire tutorial area? Just beat the boss and start the real adventure.

If you could add that it would definitely make my day because it's my biggest gripe with the app. But it definitely should be an option so people who enjoy the current implementation could stick with that.

I also remembered another thing that's a bit annoying. Sometimes I want to visit specific communities because they're not popular enough to always pop up in my feed. I'm not sure how you sort the subscription list but it makes no sense to me. I ended up starring the handful of communities I specifically visit because finding them from my subscriptions list was just too much effort. I think it would make sense to have communities in an alphabetical order, first by community name and then by instance name. Not a big issue because I was able to filter out the specific communities I was looking for but still a bit annoying because I first need to find the community before starring it.

Beyond those two things you've done an excellent job with the app.

I don't know if I've missed some configuration option, but I really don't like how the current reply works and I would love it to work like it works on most Lemmy apps. You press reply and you get a new view where you only see the comment you want to reply to and then your own reply.

The issue I have with the current reply is that it's just too small. It's a third of my screen so not only do I not get a good overview of my reply I also have to scroll a lot just to proofread.

I don't need to see all the other comments when I replying. Let me focus on the context of why I'm replying and what I'm replying.

Anyone who hasn't seen taskmaster is in for a treat. It perfectly encapsulates how stupid we, as people, are and how ingenious we are, and mixed with a bit of "let's just fuck with people". The bit about Josh Widdicombe counting baked beans in a can brightens my day every time it pops into my mind.

Anyone looking for something similar to Taskmaster I'd recommend Game Changers. It has the same "let's fuck with people" vibe.

I was watching Hasan being at the protests to get a sense of what is actually going on and a European left a comment on his video that succinctly put the US police into perspective.

As a European I don't get how the police is just shooting rubber bullets instantly, why do they not have riot shields and water throwers and such, it seems so uncivilised.

And that pretty much sums up the cops in the US. They're just uncivilized. Their idea of "deescalation" is escalation until you're too incapacitated to fight back.

ELIS5 version. Wayland and Xorg are what draw the screen on your monitor. Xorg is based on stuff that's 40 years old and Wayland is meant to replace Xorg as a more modern way to draw on your monitor.

Looks fine for me on interstellar.

Depends on how you define wiping the slate clean? Just for the users or also for the hardware and software vendors?

Because the difficulty of Linux comes from the lack of hardware and software support. If you just compare the OS then for the average user there little to no difference in terms of functionality. People probably would ever prefer Linux due to it being just generally faster than Windows. You wouldn't pay extra to to get something that runs worse.

What people will pay extra for is the guarantee that their hardware and software just works. The only benefit Windows has is that you don't have to worry if your hardware or software will work because in 99.9% of the time it does and if it doesn't you can contact support and they won't instantly tell you your system isn't supported.

Didn't need to read the article to come to the same conclusion.

TLDR: Unless Merc can pick up Verstappen Russell won't be leaving Merc. Russell has no reason to go to another team because Merc is still one of the top teams and, unless Verstappen becomes available, there're no reason to replace Russell because there's nobody better to replace him with.

Same. I was willing to keep Outer Worlds 2 on my radar because I love Obsidian and they've earned my attention even though I didn't particularly enjoy Outer Worlds 1, but at that price point the game has dropped off my radar. Unless it's getting New Vegas level praise post launch I probably won't be paying any more attention to this game.

I'm in no hurry. If it comes within a year I'll be happy. If it takes longer I'll probably check it out unless some other app has come out that I'm also happy with.
