This is a very cool concept, but has anyone actually gotten this to read as a qr code?

I've tried a bunch of apps without any luck.

Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Who would have guessed that "Weekend at Bernie's" was a documentary.

I totally agree. Season 1 and season 2 were the apex of the series - exactly for the reasons you mentioned.

Season 3 and 4 lost a lot of the magic. Season 5 and beyond, I've cherry picked a few episodes and always ended up asking myself "meh, why did I watch this?" I expect nothing more from the upcoming season.

I really wonder if they just ran out of innovative ideas.

....that last step will be a doozy.

Since the 3rd of march 25 Spotify blocked the apk mod version. What are the alternative music player you would recommend? in c/piracy

I don't know if you tried it or not, but I'd suggest that you install the latest release from their Download Page, as opposed to other sources.

I've noticed on Android, that the F-Droid Version is not "quickly" updated and frequently breaks due to breaking changes from Google.

(I've also just upgraded to v4.0 on my android phone and it's working - good luck!)

Spotube: It's not the greatest UX, but will read your Spotify Playlists and supports offline mode.

Microsoft Outlook servers down, reports say in c/technology@lemmy.world

I just laughed and said oh well that's what you get when you moved from on prem to cloud.

Our Techs said that you couldn't buy on-perm exchange anymore. You needed to go with the cloud subscription, which "includes" all the crap you don't want: like Teams.

Atleast, they said didn't make financial sense to pay for Google Workspace + Slack + Cloud Exchange, when MS offered their (lesser) services as a bundle (but the human suffering is real) :(

Linux royalty backs adoption of Rust for kernel code in c/technology@lemmy.world

What?!? Actually, read the article? What is this, Reddit? /s

Seriously, though - let me spin the question around: what, in your mind, overlaps with what Greg said?

(plus, OP was just interested in people opinions - not whether they align/contradict with Greg, Linus, etc)

Oh absolutely, but you could argue the same for learning lisp or mastering any functional programming language (list comprehensions, etc). It will improve your design patterns when you go back to an object oriented language with some elements of functional programming.
