It’s a little bit faster for encoding and decoding

On the other hand, the time spent uploading/downloading much smaller files probably more than makes up for that, although even that difference might get pretty small with modern internet connections.

As much as I'd like to see this game preserved, I don't think the dev can be held responsible when they're refunding everyone who purchased the game.

At the very least, a save game editor wouldn't be too hard to create when running your own server.

Though that got me thinking if there's some kind of GDPR shenanigans one could already utilize to get all your account data. I kind of doubt it, but it would be hilarious.

Looking at this map there seems to be at least some correlation. There really needs to be popular advocates for each language and country, particularly for the smaller ones and those with a low english speaking population.

Agree. I don't know this person, but at best he didn't understand the campaign and also overdosed on defeatism. At worst he's intentionally misrepresenting the campaign and lobbying against better consumer rights.

Depends a bit on the clients.

• KeePass: Will ask you if you want to synchronize/overwrite/discard the database when saving.
• KeePassXC: Will autoreload the database in the background, so merge conflicts shouldn't happen in the first place. Otherwise there's 'Merge database' in the menu.
• KeePass2Android: So I mixed up the names and this is the client I actually use. This one does all changes to an internal copy of the database that is then synchronized on request.
• KeePassDX: As far as I can see it also has a mechanism similar too KeePass2Android.

Assuming you only have one desktop and mobile client you should never run into any issues. If you do have multiple KeePassXC clients it's all fine as well assuming Syncthing always has another client it can sync with.

Most amazingly, this setup is also unexpectedly resilient against merge conflicts and can sync even when two copies have changed. You wouldn't expect that from tools relying on 3rd party file syncing.

I still try to avoid it, but every time it accidentally happened, I could just merge the changes automatically without losing data.

Technically you can do everything through email, because everything online can be represented as text. Doesn't mean you should.

PRs also aren't just a simple back and forth anymore: Tagging, Assignees, inline reviews, CI with checks, progress tracking, and yes, reactions. Sure, you can kinda hack all of that into a mailing list but at that point it's becoming really clunky and abuses email even more for something it was never meant to handle. Having a purpose-built interface for that is just so much nicer.

I wouldn't agree either, but I think there's some kind of logic: At a certain point familiarity can be a detriment to learning if it leads to you adding invalid assumptions to your mental model because everything else is so familiar. If everything is unfamiliar however you're less likely to start making assumptions.

As for how true of effective this is, I don't know. Anecdotally however I had less problems learning entirely different keyboard layouts for example as opposed to layouts that are just slightly different.

I'm sorry to be blunt, but mailing lists just suck for group conversations and are a crutch that only gained popularity due to the lack of better alternatives at the time. While the current solutions also come with their own unique set of drawbacks, it's undeniable that the majority clearly prefers them and wouldn't want to go back. There's a reason why almost everyone switched over.

I'd guess because the same argument could be made for the website you're on right now. Why use that when we could just use mailing lists instead?

More specifically: Sure, Git is decentral at its core, but all the tooling that has been built around it, like issue tracking, is not. Suggesting to go back to email, even if some projects still use it, isn't the way to go forward.

It was the early days of homebrew when there wasn't much information out there and the tools were much less advanced. I didn't really care about the risk either, so it could've been anything. I wasn't immediately banned either. Took about half a year or so.

But yeah, emulation can pretty run all the relevant titles, meaning the exclusives, much better than the Switch itself.
