@peterdrake Maybe it has something to do with the permissions/iframe configuration in the HTML code? Looking at that example you posted, I see they explicitly set an allow=autoplay.
@peteralee @hackernews@die-partei.social There's probably some overlap, but on any single given day, 50% of *that day's* beef is eaten by 12%. Which makes sense, because not everybody eats beef every day.
One very interesting observation from coding with #AI/#ML:
I've found that I've started subconsciously trying to race #GithubCopilot to type out lines of code before it can guess them.
I used to stop occasionally to sit and ponder what I wanted to write, but now if I do that, the machine tells me what I wanted and it's usually right, so that motivates me to stop pondering and do what I know needs to get done.
It feels like a productivity booster.
This is strange. Usually after a hurricane passes through, it takes all the weather with it and there are beautiful clear skies for a few days.
@peterdrake So then it sounds like the real problem is Itch's redundancy within web browsers.

I wonder if this problem of perception is itself influenced by a new wave of Twitter expats.
I find myself attributing good-faith to Mastodon users *much* more easily than I did for Twitter users. But I can see how that perception might be different for the folks who have been here a while and aren't a fan of the onslaught of new accounts.
Nobody should be allowed to work a good job without first proving their willingness to work shitty jobs.
@peterdrake It does. Because if it didn't, I'd be mad at the browser for autoplaying.
@mentallyalex I haven't seen that myself, but you're not the first person I've heard this complaint from. Maybe it's only affecting accounts with larger follower-numbers at the moment?
But I've also seen the reverse problem... when people post about contentious or debatable subjects, but then get upset and start throwing accusations of "reply guys" at other folks who jump in to have an open dialog about the subject in good faith.
It seems to be the same problem as "mansplaining", i.e. a legitimate problem that would be easier to address if it didn't suffer so from excessive false accusations.
@peterdrake Right, I think that's the expected behaviour for WebGL. If you want to make it a little more seamless, you can put in a brief animation of the studio and game logo in between, kind of an animated entrance for the main menu. Then the button is there to ensure the player gets to see it all!
@book That description of the game is terrible. Here's a much better one:
You and your companions crash-land on a "rimworld", a frontier planet that's only lightly colonized, distinguished from the core "glitterworld" planets. On this rimworld, you must figure out how to survive, thrive, and escape to the stars. Besides basic tasks, like farming, ranching, and building, you'll also need to figure out how to deal with the natives. Some are low-tech tribes, others are high-tech psychics.
The game is, in essence, a story generator. Randomness is thrown in to make the story more interesting (can't have a story without tragedy).
The whole game is a love-letter to firefly, not just the soundtrack. Think of it as "Whitefall: The Game"
@tristansnell What is the process in between this recommendation and the actual schedule change?
Are we talking weeks, months, years? Chances of success?
@peterdrake Put a quick interstitial scene at the start with a "START GAME" button?
@peteralee @hackernews@die-partei.social No, it's per day. They botched the headline for clickbait.
@hackernews@die-partei.social Disingenuous as fuck.
Why'd you leave off the very important "in a given day" part of the statistic?

Trust me on this. You absolutely want to spend 10 minutes reading about this random pedestrian bridge in Minnesota.

@jann @ParkscopeJoe Fwiw, I'm in Orlando, and it's just drizzling here with a light breeze.
So, I impulse-bought a windsock a couple weeks ago (don't judge me), and I'm unreasonably excited to see how it fares during the upcoming storm.
In case anyone needed proof that I'm a #FloridaMan, I just "fixed" the roof damage from last year's hurricane by holding down my roof with rocks. Y'know, in preparation for the next hurricane.
