I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers

not a common feature in proprietary software

Just so you know, the GDPR mandates that you can at any time get a full export of all your personal data from anyone who's processing it in a common, machine readable format. It is laudable though to have that integrated as a feature in the software, rather than jumping through hoops contacting support etc.

Okay ich nehm's zurück, lol, jedenfalls für Berlin. Gerade wieder hier, und gefühlt ständig Verbindungsprobleme. Angeblich durchgängig voller 5G Empfang aber kommt kaum was durch

Edit: ich nehme die Zurücknahme zurück, nach einem Neustart des Handys ist alles fein. Keine Ahnung was da los war

Habe in den letzten Jahren in Ingolstadt, Münster und Gütersloh gelebt, nie Probleme gehabt. Bin regelmäßig in Berlin, auch da ist mir bisher nichts aufgefallen. Bahnhöfe haben bisher auch immer gut funktioniert

If you have a USB C to C cable handy, that's also going to work to charge other devices, loses less power to the transfer, is quicker, and also more convenient since you can keep using both phones. Of course you'll often not have a cable, but if you do it's probably gonna be the better option

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Why not simply say donation

It's about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying "Here's the software, we'll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it". It's an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.

In the end it's just a semantic difference, it's just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.

this tells me nothing about what the game will look like, or run like

I mean... This was the first trailer to stir up a bit of excitement for a game that has only just entered full-scale development. They probably don't even yet know themselves what it will look like and how it will run on what hardware. Expecting that kind of info at this point is unrealistic

I am pretty fortunate to live in a country with a functioning health care system. Couldn't imagine having to weigh my health against not losing income, as if dealing with the illness itself wasn't bad enough already

Yup, definitely. Just had it a couple of weeks ago - knocked out for three days, recovery slowly over a week or so.

To be fair, it's still hit or miss, you need to do a little research to know what you're getting, but it has gotten sooo much better in the last couple of years. At this point, any brand that uses pieces made by gobricks is going to give you excellent piece quality rivaling or even surpassing that of Lego in some aspects. My recommendations if you want to check it out are Pantasy and Funwhole, both make great original sets with high quality prints, the latter even with fully integrated light kits. Those are not the only options, but the best ones at the moment in my opinion

Edit to add: as said a lot has happened just in the last few years, so to get a good picture of the current quality landscape, even with the brands I mentioned it's a good idea to stick to their newer sets for now, since you might still get earlier generations of bricks that are not quite as good with the older models that have been sitting on shelves for some time

Except there are competitors by now with equally good tolerances and overall part quality that still cost half as much, so that can't really be the reason

The Brickfilming community has taken it upon themselves to recreate the entire Lego Movie, scene for scene, in stop motion, in celebration of the movie's ten year anniversary! Last Wednesday, the project was officially announced and a first trailer released, and we're extremely proud of what we've already achieved so far. It's an ambitious project, but we have lots of fantastically skilled people on it, and it's shaping up nicely :)
