The first day that a developer is born, they are married for life to the machine. There is no second. For they are all consumed by the very thing they chose to create.

Jokes aside, the commentor makes a good point. It’s not untypical that Americans tend to expect people from other countries to know and speak English. Not everyone necessarily feels that way, but it’s something that does happen possibly because of the prevalence of English

I love my kindle. I open it up, it loads the last book I had open. I read. I close the cover and the battery lasts for super long. Good product.
One thing I've got to say about Windows: it is an incredible piece of software. Love it or hate it, the fact that it runs on so many different configurations of machines (with different versions of drivers) is pretty wild.
@theapplehub
The whole android vs iOS debate is moot. The OSs are virtually the same at this point… and generally no non-tech person really cares about the fine details. It’s only the loud minority of users that really give a care.
@Pilestedt
In all due respect, I love your game and Helldivers 2 is incredible, but this trend that the industry has been doing for some time… to require links to external 3rd party accounts contributes to a bad user experience overall.
It’s not a bad experience for each individual game
@DnDBeyond
This still does not address OneDnD and how the future products will be licensed. The SRD could not be licensed other than under CC, due to game mechanics not being liceenseable (it is appreciated that the core is CC). All future products should (not just 5E) be under OGL1.0a.
@MKBHD
BREAKING (leak): We have confirmation from corroborating sources that a high definition youtuber did in fact confirm the leak about the new phone being better than the old phone.
@DnDBeyond
How about not breaking something that was working to begin with? It's not even a question that the decision was made to change the OGL due to the potential of "unrealized margins" that WotC could further profit on.

Really unfortunate. I really like my Apple Card. It was straightforward to use and pay off regularly. Additionally, it was great for financing Apple products on. The benefits are good too. I hope they find a new partner to work with.

Though it is a disappointment (selfishly I admit), I expected this sort of outcome. The pause was a reasonable response to the Covid outbreak in order to bring some assistance during that state of emergency, but the exercise of using an executive order to forgive the loans
@omgubuntu
Tbh, I don't care all that much. Whether it's Google or Microsoft...I would want whichever will make mozilla more money so they can keep developing and supporting Firefox.
Either way, I'll just keep switching the search engine to and using duck duck go. 🤷🏼♂️
@Pilestedt
Thanks for the balancing changes that happened lately for weapons. Overall, I think they were really good. I like that the game feels challenging. Looking forward to playing with mechs when the servers are back online!

This is very good. People deserve the option to op-out of data harvesting. More phone and OS manufactures should be providing this option.

@Wizards_DnD
Still no transparency on the process of drafting a new OGL. Shame. And you're still going to go through with revoking the original OGL. This should be 100% transparent and under review if it's truly to protect the community and the game gping forward.
The Vault would not be an amazing collection without the work and talent of so many incredible artists. Let's celebrate the work that is in the Vault on

My childhood has been shattered right before my very eyes. The knowledge was too great for my mind to bear. How will I live, knowing that this is indeed the reality that persisted within the game? The singular rock, the mighty stone, the hefty pebble.
@RobertsSpaceInd
It's understandable. This patch was a hugely fundamental change to the game. Totally fine to wait another few days (or more) to smooth out the wrinkles.
@POTUS
It could be more effective to put regulations in place that prevent banks from ordering transactions in a way that would cause them to overdraft an account (to maximize fees).

@affinitybyserif
This is a complete disservice to the entire community that has been built around Affinity. It’s really disappointing to see Affinity give up their core values to provide a one-time purchase license for a good product only to be acquired by Canva.
I’m sure this will result in a

Many people will say Linux. Do whichever you feel comfortable with. I’m considering Linux to replace my Windows OS, but I need to consider gaming compatibility (which is getting closer to reality with the improvements to the Proton compatibility layer).

It's a good question, but it's probably better we don't know the answer. It's almost poetic that one of the most world-shaking technologies is created by an anonymous entity.

Sadly, I am not going to be surprised when (not if) the business model will change from a buy it once license to a subscription model. Affinity did a really big disservice to its user base by this change, since the one-time purchase was a huge add of value for the consumer.
@HelldiversAlert
def more than one 380. i did the same thing with a group that I play with: we all brought 500, 120, 380, and rocket pods and threw all of them at once.
it was beautiful.

Opinion: Stricly religion-driven politics is a dangerous form of political engagement...use of religion as a primary driver in political decision-making is faulty in comparison to use of political and social scientific fact based on studies and research.
Hey X Devs,
I’ve been a community mod for the Software Engineering community for some time now. After moderating that community for a bit, something that would be super useful, I think, is the ability to add context when reporting a post.
There is often times that I will
