I’m still mad there’s no straightforward way to convert a PDF into semantic HTML. There’s plenty of tools to convert it into HTML that looks the same with pages and such, but I just want the content.

You’re joking, surely. While the analog stick drift is a huge problem in terms of quality, the motion controls are objectively better. Go play Mario Galaxy on the Wii and play it in 3d All Stars on Switch and tell me the Switch version isn’t better. The fact that you aren’t bound to pointing directly at the screen due to the motion bar thingy is huge. The sort of tilt assist aiming in games like BotW and TotK are worlds better than any point aiming mechanics from the Wii.
Nothing I’ve said before is about the life span of the parts. The analog sticks breaking on Joycons sucks and is awful, but don’t sit here and act like that makes the Wiimote better. Motion controls on Switch are so much better than Wii.
I’m wondering if a lot used it in minor ways so you forget easily. I remember Brawl would use it when you selected a character, but I may only be remembering because it was a meme on TikTok for a bit. I remember one microgame in Warioware using it when you answered a phone which was funny.
Here’s my thing, so many Wii games that leaned too heavily into the Wiimote were annoying. I don’t necessarily believe games leaning more into the game pad would’ve made them enjoyable experiences. I think it’s just nostalgia. We remember things like Wii sports because it was fun and everyone had it, not because it used the Wiimotes.
Yeah. TikTok’s generated share links don’t have separate params for the content and tracking making it difficult to get around without copying the link into the browser yourself. Because it’s mostly used through an app and not the browser, you cannot just copy the URL and you have to use the share button.
Query parameters follow everything after the ?
and take the format a=foo&b=bar
. Essentially, key value pairs using =
and separated by &
.
There’s no perfect way to know what is and isn’t part of a tracking stuff. We just use our intuition. In this case, when we look at a YouTube video we see links like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
. Notice the v=xxx
? So, in the URL you shared, we can deduce that v=W_svsNc6seE
is needed and the si=xxx
is the tracking stuff. You should also then remove the &
because it’s no longer separating two entries. Leaving it doesn’t seem to hurt anything though. So https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=W_svsNc6seE
without &si=22MYOxMc5wMcdatU
.
I don’t know what si
stands for, but in my head I see it as “share ID”. A lot of services use si
or something similar for the tracking stuff.
The technician test is pretty easy if you remember some stuff from physics and you study. https://hamstudy.org/ (you don’t need to make an account here to practice).
When referring to communities on Lemmy please use the proper link format. !community@instance
Just because something isnt perfect doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Would you rather OP share links with tracking?
With TikTok, if you copy and paste the URL into a browser you will get a link you can then copy and paste without the baked-in tracking. You can probably do the same with Instagram, but I just got a link from them and they had the tracking under a query parameter (that’s the technical term for the stuff after the question mark). So I’m not sure what you’re seeing.
Also, thank you for stripping tracking data off of links you share. “It ain’t much, but it’s honest work!”
https://www.tiktok.com/t/aaaa becomes https://www.tiktok.com/@someuser/video/111 (manually remove tracking as before). I assume this might work with Instagram, but like I said, when I try it, it doesn’t actually give me that style URL.
I feel line this would be funnier as “code updated to do 999 things”
I mean, its useful regardless of the OS. When my Windows install broke and a system image restore got botched it was useful having a laptop.
I’m surprised it isn’t the norm to have a hook that checks it as part of pacman updating.
Use EndeavousOS instead because the initial install process is simpler.
You’re correct. I once was trying to rename a file in Windows in a git repository that had a wrong capitalization. It was tricky.
Why didn’t I hear about this until the day of?
Psst, OP included Signal in this post which isn’t federated at all, so the argument of Bluesky not being “federated as much as they pretend to” is a bit irrelevant.
You think email’s UI is only “slightly” different than the UI of chats? I disagree very strongly. The two are extremely different. Email is this weird amalgamation of messages and forums depending on how your client displays it and everyone in the email thread is using it. You can have arbitrarily styling in messages. You can send messages to whoever whenever. Chats are much more focused and linear by comparison.
Could the software selection be more diverse?
Not if you want people to actually consider switching instead of feeling overwhelmed and confused.
I just hate two column paginated lay outs. Give me pageless single column text.
