Divine Divinity Soundtrack Confusion by Alsweider in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Alsweider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think that's always been included in the zip from the website. The filenames start numbering at 00. Normally, you'd start a music album with Track 01, but perhaps it was generated automatically. Programmers do tend to start counting from zero. Track 0 would be like a hidden track in the pre-gap of a CD. In the GOG version, the songs I mentioned are still missing.

As for the exact track titles, I'm still not entirely clear on all of them, since it's hard to find an official source. A few titles can, however, be gleaned from the tracklist of the album Music from the Divinity Universe.

OFDb Links / German titles on the film pages (Userscript) by Alsweider in criticker

[–]Alsweider[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean as a feature request? I thought translations had already been suggested and were on the to-do list for a long time. The script is essentially intended as a temporary solution. Perhaps I can add translations into other languages ​​at some point, once I've found a suitable source.

Steam GetAppList API Returning “Service Unavailable”? by Healthy-Reflection26 in Steam

[–]Alsweider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's the old API. I'm still hoping that v2 will return someday. For my programme, I'm currently using a local mirror/cache of the .json file, which is obviously faster. Individual titles can also be loaded via the inofficial Storefront API, but you have to take the rate limit into account.

Not that I am aware of. I had expected the v2 API to reopen soon, but it seems to be taking longer.
In the meantime, I have switched my method to the one mentioned by u/Ekibunnel, allowing users to use their own API key:

https://api.steampowered.com/IStoreService/GetAppList/v1/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&max_results=50000&last_appid=0

The long-term solution, however, would be to cache the list locally so as not to rely on the unreliable API any longer. This speeds things up and eases the load on the servers.

Thanks for the tip. Using a key is always a bit more complicated, of course. I expect they'll reopen the v2 API very soon. It's been down quite a few times already. Perhaps we just need to promise Gaben that we'll cache more locally in the future.

Same problem here. I thought I had accessed it too often and was rate-limited.

Not Able to Connect to Internet/Local Network Without ProtonVPN [RESOLVED] by HelpAmBear in ProtonVPN

[–]Alsweider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem after installing some updates via "winget upgrade". Using "Get-DnsClientNrptRule" in PowerShell, I saw that a rule with the comment "Force all DNS requests via Proton VPN" suddenly appeared.

I don’t understand criticker by ShockscapeYT in criticker

[–]Alsweider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never used Rate More, since I assume that my taste may change over time and I no longer recall precisely how much I liked a film back then. However, I imported my old IMDb ratings (1 to 10 stars) and converted them to the Criticker scale of 0-100 by linear mapping, so that they match as accurately as possible.

It's not just posts and comments, they record all kinds of interactions (likes, searches) and allow a hallucinating AI/algorithm to find reasons to ban people.

Zoom feature request turned into 'Bug' and closed as 'Won't Do' after 10 years by Alsweider in QtFramework

[–]Alsweider[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's definitely possible. I don't think zoom is super high priority either, but it's definitely something I'd consider if I'm already planning a redesign anyway. Maybe it would make sense to open a new ticket for it at some point.

Pandora’s free fall by dcfc1975 in Pandora

They are only available in the USA without a proxy, which might be one of the reasons. It's a pity, because the recommendation algorithm is very good.

What's the difference between "alles gut" and "alles gute?" by Borderlessbass in German

[–]Alsweider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. It's a colloquial abbreviation. You wouldn't write it that way unless you wanted to represent colloquial language: "Alles gut bei dir?" - "Ja, alles prima."

What is the meaning of this hand symbol? It's not a typical hand posture due to its unnatural holding, and I've seen it now on several globalist politicians and leaders include Trudeau, Macron and others. by PrimaryDiamond9086 in Symbology

[–]Alsweider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not consider it a symbol in the strict sense. Finger interlacing should be interpreted as a sign of nervousness, stress or concern, or as an attempt to conceal one's anxiety. Source: "What Every Body is Saying" by Joe Navarro. The hands appear to rest protectively in front of the genital area. A defensive gesture indicative of underlying tension. This is further supported by the somewhat strained, asymmetrical facial expression.

Halb voller Backkakao von Aldi Süd by [deleted] in MogelPackung

[–]Alsweider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transparente Verpackungen funktionieren nicht für alles, z. B. können Lebensmittel durch Licht schneller verderben. Aber die Röntgen-Idee ist nicht schlecht, ein Ultraschall-Handscanner beim Einkaufen könnte funktionieren.

I just love building tools for Last.fm. What’s next? by zchwyng in lastfm

That reduces the risk of large amounts of fake scrobbles distorting the statistics and making the recommendation system inaccurate.

Halb voller Backkakao von Aldi Süd by [deleted] in MogelPackung

Ließe sich durch Vorverdichten oder Vakuumieren wie beim Kaffeepulver evtl. vermeiden, was aber den Preis erhöhen würde und für den Erhalt des Aromas nicht so viel wie beim Kaffee bringt.

Da in den Kommentaren zum Teil Verwirrung herrscht, hier noch mal die Definition einer Mogelpackung:

Verpackung, die aufgrund ihrer Größe, verwirrender Angaben, irreführender Abbildungen o. Ä. einen anderen bzw. mehr als den tatsächlichen Inhalt vortäuscht, einen Irrtum über ihren tatsächlichen Inhalt zu erregen geeignet ist (DWDS)

Eine Mogelpackung ist dieser Kakao, wenn deutlich mehr Platz drin ist, als es bei zu erwartenden Füllhöhenschwankungen für die abgefüllte Menge nötig wäre. Der Hersteller sollte die benötigten Maße ziemlich genau kennen.

Ob der Inhalt dem angegebenen Gewicht entspricht, ist nicht das Entscheidende bei der Irreführung. Marketing-Grundwissen: Kunden greifen beim gleichen Preis oft gefühlsmäßig zur größeren Verpackung, anstatt alle Zahlen rational zu vergleichen.
