You have heard the thing that Ethiopia is banning import of all ICEs? https://electrek.co/2024/02/02/it-begins-ethiopia-set-to-become-first-country-to-ban-internal-combustion-cars/

That’s what I’m wondering too!

This sounds neat. But we’ve used protractor with Gherkin years ago. Even at my current job we use BDD a lot. What’s new here? The comparison table is honestly very Apple-like: just pick something you know you’ll beat and dumb the comparison down a lot to leave little room for fact-checking.

I’m not saying this is bad software. I’m saying it’s not being sold well to someone that has been in this space for a while. It seems to mainly sell to people that have never heard of Gherkin/Cucumber before.

Now this is a really intriguing review! It’s on my list now!

What did you enjoy about it? This sounds like something I’d generally enjoy :) Is there maybe something comparable that comes to mind others may have read? I’ve read a lot of Gibson and early Stephenson for example. And almost everything by Doctorow. Maybe those are authors you can compare to?

Thanks! Glad I asked, I honestly hadn’t understood that 😂

Honestly have no experience here, but is this at all worth a look if you aren’t paying for YT? I’ve considered reshuffling/reducing the subscriptions I have and Spotify is probably the one I’m most attached to.

For Harris supporters who oppose 3rd parties: 2 questions. (1) How will you get the US to stop funding Israeli genocide?; & (2), what are the chances of your proposal(s) succeeding before, say, 2075? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

The US is a broken democracy. But unfortunately right now the only way to salvage anything and even get a chance of reforming it ever, you have to vote for Harris. It’s sad and the rest of the world would be laughing at you if it weren’t this serious for all of us. Please get Harris in and then suggest a move to a more pluralistic, modern democracy after. The other candidates will not matter in the current system. All you do is helping whoever wins.

In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? in c/[email protected]

I LOVED that game as a kid. One of the few games where I enjoyed both vs and coop campaign stuff

Wasn’t MW open-world?

Thanks, I honestly didn’t know! I’ve only really adopted Lemmy for almost daily use a few weeks back and mostly read tech related stuff and it’s been blissfully apolitical for the most part. Some of it is on .ml - I now understand the issue and will look out for it/support communities on other instances where possible.

Games that work with my hardware (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Is there a service or knowledge base somewhere that can help you find the highest rated games for your hardware?

Background: I don’t have much time for games and just installed Bazzite on a few years old ThinkPad. I would like to play some games on it but don’t know what I can expect to be playable. I see tons of “will it run on steam deck” info but honestly couldn’t even figure out where this computers performance lies compared to a steam deck. This should be easy. Just type in specs, maybe filter genre and say “sort by meta score” or “sort by steam rating”.

Clutter-free and cost-effective service subscriptions? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

What are your thoughts on finding a good level of subscriptions for online services, such as storage, photo backup, music streaming, video streaming?

Personal situation: I don't want a ton of subscriptions. I take lots of photos. I listen to music quite a bit. I live in a household that has Android, iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Linux, ... and a Synology NAS that is already filling up with old music and video stuff from before streaming, phone photo backups as well as the photos from the big camera (manually copied so far). I currently pay for two cloud storage thingies and have to free ones, 3/4 are full :P We also have Spotify Family and cut down to only (HBO) Max and public service for video plus sometimes getting something specific for a month or two.

Any experiences or other observations welcome as well!

Where to start? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I don’t spend much time on my desktop computer but if I do I tend to game a bit. OW II, CS, Helldivers, Tabletop Simulator mostly. And of course need Discord.

I am considering a minor upgrade to the hardware and would need a fresh install (currently Win 10). I’ve been out of the distro game for a while and currently only have one old thinkpad running Debian and an X1 Carbon gen7 I want to use for experimentating/ distro hopping.

I want a daily driver OS that can play games. I also edit photos and might to the odd “flash a CFW to an old phone” or similar light tasks. Where do I start?

I hear PopOS because “it just works” but also CachyOS because “performance, muh”.

I have experience with Ubuntu (first was 6.06) and Fedora mostly but have played around with a lot that came with at least a barebones UI (crunchbang anyone?). My life has changed so I have less time to nerd out with this than I used to. But I feel the itch to experiment now and maybe use Linux on my main desktop again after some years with that mentioned upgrade soon.
