WolfLink@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison'English2·13 days agoHydrophobic coating loosely means a thin water proof coating on a material that otherwise isn’t waterproof.
Example: the previously mentioned popcorn bags are paper based but with a thin plastic based coating. (Historically we used to use wax for this kind of thing but in the modern day it’s almost always plastic)
Not that containers made of glass, ceramic, or metals that don’t corrode don’t need and typically don’t have hydrophobic coatings.

Also it can still heat up, although it might not be as prone to burnout as a motor.
In Python, self is not a keyword, it’s a conventional variable name. You can replace all instances of “self” with “this” and your code will work the same.

The “all browsers are iOS reskin” thing is browsers must use WebKit for JavaScript and rendering, which are the two biggest parts of a browser. WebKit is a library of code distributed as part of the iOS SDK. However, Safari adds more on top of WebKit, including its plugin API. Installing plugins into iOS Safari wont affect anything just using WebKit because they aren’t using the Safari plugins code.
In theory Firefox could implement its own plugins system for iOS, but it would more limited than the normal Firefox plugin system for other devices, and also they might run into policy issues with Apple (this policy about 3rd party browsers is part of a broader policy against side loading, which has in the past prevented things like emulators and programming apps into the App Store. They have recently started loosening up on their anti-side loading policies, however).

WolfLink@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•I've started playing The Witcher. No, not the good one.8·1 month agoI’ve played the first one briefly. I don’t remember being able to play other characters. I remember the worst part being the combat system was an absolute slog. The later Witcher games don’t have great combat systems either, but it’s at least improved with each generation.
I might go back and play the older witchers eventually but I still haven’t finished Witcher 3 despite like 200 hours in it.

WolfLink@sh.itjust.worksto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows42·1 month agoIt’s impressive that’s still the case when SteamOS is running a translation layer that Windows doesn’t have to.
Also, SteamOS is actually a pretty fully-featured OS, and it’s based off of Linux, so it’s not that specialized, besides the UI.
WolfLink@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•Why old games never die (but new ones do) – Pawlicker's BlogEnglish14·1 month agoThere’s some good points about reliance on internet but also note that there are plenty of dead old games and the ones we talk about now are those that survived.
There are modern games that will likely last.
WolfLink@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own appEnglish1·1 month agoI use a good chunk of the paid PlexAmp features, although I agree they are mostly just extras.
However, Downloads is a must-have IMO. I often listen to music while traveling, e.g. on a plane or train or on a road trip, and cell service is unreliable in those situations.
Also just getting bombarded by ads to upgrade would be enough for me to consider the product a “free trial”, although tbf I don’t know how bad PlexAmp is about that.
WolfLink@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own appEnglish1·1 month agoAh neat, it used to require PlexPass to use the app at all. Now it only requires PlexPass for most of the app, including some pretty basic features like downloads.
Still, it is nice that there’s some level of “free trial” for it.
To be clear I love PlexAmp and use it as my main audio player, but I’ve paid for a plex lifetime pass.
