You’re limited on UX when it comes to PWAs. For tools where this matters a lot, PWAs are a non-starter.

Gotcha!

Well, I’m not in a Balatro-period right now, but when the itch comes back I’ll probably buy it for mobile as well.

Are you aware of any platform affordances that have been made for mobile in this release, or is it basically the same as the unofficial ports you can DIY?

Doesn’t quite seem to be out on Android yet, at least not in my market. I could pre-register and have it download automatically when it’s out, though.

It didn’t list a price and said there was an in-app purchase, anyone know what that’s about? Will I be able to use the copy I bought for PC or what?

Anyway, this is great. Granted, I’ve been playing Balatro on mobile for many months already, but an officially supported version is even better.

Ah shit, my bad. Will update my comment.

I believe they whined about something about the deep state being against them though, so I guess I connected the dots where no connection existed.

There was a lot of talk about it in the news, and the right wing party did distance itself from some of the elements of the operation. Mostly they played the fake news card though, and essentially claimed that the deep state was against them - because the investigation came from the Swedish state media company.

They also had a lackluster election result (EU elections) right after, but who knows how much impact this thing had, if any.

Anyway, basically all of them are still in their jobs and they are actively taking a shit down the throats of the Swedish population, as they are currently in the majority block of the government and can as such get a lot of their politics through.

Wanting to learn is a good requirement in itself.

Try starting with the language and then see what you can make of it in that case. You may find out that it’s not exactly viable, but then you can always try something else.

Understand what tradeoffs different solutions make, then inform your decision on that. A fairly general principle for example is that the more cross-platform compatible a solution is, the less well-suited it will be for any given platform in terms of looks/behavior/performance. This may or may not matter for what you’re building.

There are inherent qualities to some solutions (for example, a particular library may make for good solutions on a certain platform), and some qualities will be situational (a particular library is good for you because you happen to know the language/patterns/framework/whatever).

I personally like to build things in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, but that’s because I primarily build mobile apps for Android and I like the reactive UI paradigm that underpins this library along with the language that it’s written in. I would perhaps reconsider if I were building a desktop app (not as well supported), and definitely reconsider if I were building a web app (definitely a poor fit).

So yeah, start with what you’re building and what its requirements are. Then think about what you already know, and finally put those together when evaluating a UI solution.

I used to think I didn’t like exercise. As it turns out, I’m just not that into running. I love biking though.

I’ve always loved weight lifting as well, though, so idk

It baffles me that people actually take these assertions seriously, especially after having used different software that uses voice input, like Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa or whatever. Those things make some serious mistakes even under ideal circumstances, and you want me to believe that they can accurately overhear things in non-ideal circumstances? I highly doubt it.

Regardless, you can use an ad blocker to make this a moot point - I’ve never experienced anything even close to this, because I never get ads.

I struggled with this as well, having not enjoyed my teenage years that much.

How I coped was to tell myself that people asserting that period X is the best years of your life are people whose lives peaked at that time, and that this won’t be true if I made sure to not have my life peak then.

I’m happy to say that I’ve proven the assertion wrong in my case. It’s been a steady climb upwards, with every year being better than the latter.

I’m sure they make enough money to not care. Being in the part of the company that brings in the dough is generally a pretty good position to be in as well.

Not consciously, it’s been a long while since I watched zero punctuation.

This thread is generally filled with completely pants-on-head dietary advice.

Don’t get this type of information from randoms on Lemmy, contact a professional instead. I’ve noticed that Lemmy is exceptionally bad as a source for this.

Because the pandas are all staring at you.

AI-generated, perhaps?

So first off, I don’t think you should bring the laws of physics into conversations of how human bodies store fat. I know it’s tempting - I’ve been there before - but it’s just too reductive to be useful in the conversation, and it leads to generally poor conclusions.

While it’s true that energy cannot be ‘conjured from nothing’ - human bodies don’t quite work on a fixed energy in/out model. They can be variably efficient in how much energy is required to perform certain tasks, and secondary systems can be turned off when the need to conserve energy becomes apparent (leptin is the signaling mechanism for this).

The main mechanisms that cause rebound weight gain after sharp dieting is a reduction in passive energy needs stemming from the change in leptin levels, along with leptins very strong effect on appetite.

I suggest to you, and anyone still under the impression that CICO is a useful model for understanding human metabolism, to read the book The Hungry Brain. It’s hugely useful for gaining greater insight into the subject.

Healthcare is pretty rough, I’d be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.

Jon Schlinkert, I believe. Sindre has a lot of stuff as well, but has a better reputation afaik

Balatro University has some good guides if you’re looking to improve.

Looks dope! I played a lot of Descenders, and I suspect it might be at least partially responsible for getting me back on a bike again.

While the rest of the world shifted left dudes went ahead and shifted right
