I didn’t like it either, but you could still play locally against ai without it, it was their online matchmaking and game servers that required the new epic account.

Still sucks, but it’s not quite the same rug pull that’s often seen.

Not using JavaScript doesn’t ensure an accessible site or app.

I don’t remember progressive web apps having anywhere near the level of fanfare as the other things on this list, and as someone that has built several pwas I feel their usefulness is undervalued.

More apps in the app store should be pwas instead.

Otherwise this list is great and I love it.

What about both? User supplies bad input? HTTP 400 with response body json describing the error in a standard format?

In my experience, places with lousy bourbon selection have even worse rye selection.

That plus soda water on top.

The article says Apple is opposed. Additionally, they’ve already offered E2E backups, but you had to opt in. Well know they’ve capitulated if/when they remove that option.

Is there a single list of all hidden communities on the instance? I generally browse All and I now question what I may have been missing by not explicitly subscribing.

Looks like the link was to the form builder, not the data intake side of a built form. I didn’t make one to verify that side is different though.

It can be effective when you say, “the next one is coming faster.”

Communities moving to ‘chat’ based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I’ve observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

And that’s really sad. The expansions added new content and areas which was great but also made the world so big that it feels empty. I think server phasing also had something to do with that, but with the dwindling player base compared to peek times, even the major cities in the expansions feel more empty than ever.

Calm down there Satan, that sounds pretty awful.

Why is that? I’ve read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They’re out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.

I’m don’t disagree. Good developers use the tools to do better, but its incremental not revolutionary improvements for already competent developers.

I think I could have states my opinion better. I think LLMs total value remains to be seen. They allow totally incompetent developers to occasionally pass as below average developers. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. What an average and excellent developer can do with LLM assistance is less clear. Certainly it can help those developers in some situations.

There are a LOT of superficial devs out there. You dont even have to be interviewing junior devs. Plenty of them out there at medium and senior levels. They existed before LLMs were spitting code like today, and this will undoubtedly lower the bar for bad developers to enter. It remains to be seen if this can help the gold developers in a meaningful way.

Link? I’d like to see. Always amusing to see that kind of thing.

Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we’ve got. Now we’ve got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.

I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of “concern”.

Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.
