I watched it all the way through since I’m a Halo fan, but I’ll wait and see what people say about season 2. On its own, season 1 was…fine. I think if they didn’t have any references to Halo and called it something else, basically left it intact but not Halo, people probably would have said it’s okay. Not great, but okay. It definitely doesn’t feel like Halo though, and so much of the show conflicts with established Halo lore.

Agreed, I think this is what is being suggested.

I’m not sure that this is a “game” idea so much, but I’ve had this idea I haven’t been able to wrap my head around the implementation of.

Think a digital audio workstation such as Ableton Live or Logic, but gamified. Complete various musical objectives to pass levels, have a creative mode for just making music and maybe even a multiplayer mode for collaborative or competitive music making.

I’m lucky in that my employer went the opposite direction. Downsizing our local office and just letting us all be 100% remote. We’re a geographically distributed group so it doesn’t make sense to enforce office requirements.

Wait. I can automate my meetings too? I dig it.

Yeah, I’m kind of torn on this one. On one hand, having a drive replaced for an issue, then having that replacement fail with the same issue (or at least same effect) reeks of problems. That probably warrants merit.

On the other hand, it does show they likely have poor data backup practices if losing a single hard drive is costing them 3TB data loss. Either they were recording a day’s worth of video and lost it, in which case that sucks but it happens, or they had a ton of other data that likely should have already been backed up elsewhere in which case I have little sympathy.

Ah, neat! Yeah that would work then. I’d hope that your usernames are unique in your self-hosted setup, so that should work just fine. Very nice!

Hmm…this should work but I do have a concern on it based on my experience with AWS. Maybe this is different with minio though.

In AWS, S3 bucket names are globally unique. Not just to your AWS account, but across ALL S3 buckets period. So let’s say you have a username of “test” and use that policy. If that user attempts to create a bucket and that bucket name is taken, well that user is out of luck.

Obviously if minio doesn’t require globally unique bucket names you’re probably fine, but otherwise this could realistically become a problem.

Yeah, I’ll remain skeptical here. I’ve used HP laptops before and they always seem to fail immediately after the warranty expires in my experience.

I’m not as familiar with Itch but it works the same as GOG in that you can download the installer and keep it, no special activations or DRM required. Right? Because I definitely love that aspect of GOG. I just wish it had a larger library.

I had to read that again as I thought it was someone telling that to Oracle, which would make WAY more sense.

Ah, that’s a good point. I was thinking specifically within Lemmy apps, and not so much across the board.

I was just thinking that needs to become a feature. More technically minded folks could easily update the link on their own to plug into their Lemmy instance to subscribe, but for new users that could prove cumbersome.

I wonder if the functionality could be brought directly into clients.
