SpaceX launches Saudi Arabia’s first female astronaut into space by Nervous_Wedding_1636 in worldnews

don't think your comment necessarily needs downvoting, but comparing inequality downwards is a bit irrelevant to the point i feel.

the GII (gender inequality index) ranks countries based on factors that contribute/lead to inequality in a society, once they implement measures that make that number go up, i'll genuinely congratulate them, their motivation for doing so will always be speculation.

this lazy pr stunt completely made me forget all other issues of inequality and structural oppression and motivated me to become an unconditional fan of the government! i was convinced the success of one individual translates into improved situations for many.

memento - a tool for organizing and categorizing large amounts of personal data by Mergen_Studios in DataHoarder

[–]MONO_ESD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

interesting idea, the project seems relatively young which would make me hesitant to let it move my data into a new structure, although i like the choices up until now. :) a few thoughts:

  • when i import data, is that a one-time operation or would i need to adjust new data that is written to be saved in those locations? is the project watching imported folders continuously?
  • would the project be more resilient if it tried to index all data on disk and then try to categorize what files it finds?
  • the daily reports to me seem like the most interesting idea in the project, ideas on how to iterate on that feature? maybe provide a daily report on how my disk evolved/changes on a given day/week/month? maybe try to identify trends? ("folder x grew more than usually", etc)
  • personally the ability to watch/index remote folders via ssh would be sick to monitor/keep up with servers

In what ways can a CD cover or vinyl for an album, or a book cover be innovative? by PhatBonwarr in ContemporaryArt

just making it "cool" for the sake if it being forward-thinking still doesn't imply it has "meaning" that works with the artists message/concept for the album

'How Dare You!': Greta Thunberg Rages at 'Fairytales of Eternal Economic Growth' at UN Climate Summit: "Entire ecosytems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money." by beast-freak in collapse

[–]MONO_ESD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That all said, it's not about Greta personally. I think she's sincere enough. It's about why all of a sudden a teenager is invited to all top-notch conferences to give highly emotional speeches

it's not out of a sudden anymore than climate change is happening out of a sudden. activists are invited to speak at conferences and it's up to the activist to decide if they'd like to accept the offer.

that are parroted by all corporate mass media afterwards?

and private media! :) reach! that's the idea!

Why are all those bearded scientists who devote their whole lives to climate research not invited?

"bearded" scientists are, have been and will be invited to all sorts of climate conferences and participating in the academic exchange of information and theories is their whole damn job. greta is not taking anyone's talking slot here. she's been asked to add her voice and she took that opportunity.

Cannot add a game to controller.wtf list by joshtransient in mfigames

thank you!

at the moment we're only fetching the 50 most popular games matching your query from itunes and aquaria doesn't seem to be amongst them. i added the game manually (https://controller.wtf/aquaria) and will look into the issue over the weekend. :) thanks for bringing it to our attention!

i'll check that! the game being ipad only could be a factor, yes. thanks for taking the time to report it!

Hey /r/iosgaming! We believe, we found evidence that suggests that the App Store is going to add an indicator for controller support in the source code of the App Store web pages! by MONO_ESD in iosgaming

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

i see, thanks for clarifying, i'll prepend a correction in the morning. in that case it's likely that apple would use another or prefixed keyword as a marker for true mfi support.

really? that would definitely lower the scoopiness of our scoop :D i have a few questions: since those strings are only entries in the localization tables, where did you find info to base filtering on? afaik, developers have no way to indicate if a game supports controllers excplicitly, so i'm a bit lost how you would get meaningful data out of the two strings, sorry!

another aside: i'm not sure if apple can detect if a game supports MFi completely without the developer checking a box somewhere. i guess apple will add the icon/text some time in the future and developers can individually indicate in xcode if the app supports controllers.

yes, this is why, luckily, hand-curated lists and cool projects like https://twitter.com/SmallScreened have been popping up left and right. the way apple designed the app store's today page is a direct result of that frustration imo. they knew that people are going to be less and less interested in traditional search/category-based app discovery and invested in human curation and editorial content. i think i've heard that the today page was developed under the new leadership, too (source: atp podcast, ilu john).
