New Pride Flag for the irradiated wastelands just stopped!

And surprise, surprise, almost half of his “I use Linux now guys” video is showing off the window manager hyprland, which got a lot of bad press over the past 2 years:

From 1 internet stranger to another, thank you. It really means a lot to me that people are doing what they can at their own level like you. I know how demotivating and isolating it can feel to be the only one doing the necessary work.

If this turns out to be a measurable and reproducible effect for most humans, online gambling and video game loot boxes just became a while lot scarier in my mind.

More seriously, I’m pleased to see I’m not the only person who views this as a terrible loss.

I suspect there is wisdom to be learned from forest management, specifically how regular, small controlled burns are how you avoid huge, unmanageable forest fires.

It’s probably not what you’re imagining, but there is the lemmynsfw instance which is a Lemmy instance that is more or less explicitly for porn.

But there is one other, probably even more important advantage: Prolog is a programmer’s and software engineer’s dream. It is compact, highly readable, and arguably the “most structured” language of them all. Not only has it done away with virtually all control flow statements, but even explicit variable assignment too! These virtues are certainly reason enough to base not only systems but textbooks on this language.

The 90s certainly were a different time…

The magazine coming with a free operating system is something that will probably never happen again. Wild to think about.

Shit I can’t remember most of them, but the “add 3 enchanted aces” is pretty solid (that is a spectral effect, right?)

As you might be able to tell, I play pretty conservatively. Though that might change once I’ve unlocked more.

The guardian apparently wrote an article that was shared in .world/c/news : https://lemmy.world/post/28450666

From what I understand, you could un ironically do this with a file system using BTRFS. You’d maybe need a udev rule to automate tracking when the “Power Ctrl+Z” gets plugged in.

If it’s a single, generated, “initial” commit that I actually want to keep (say, for ex I used the forge to generate a license file) then I would often rebase on top of it. Quick and doesn’t get rid of anything.

I think that’s the point of it. I also don’t think they’ve encountered every possible bug with it yet, so it might take a while before all the kinks get ironed out.

The big “win” that these uids seem to already bring is unicity of id for resources - the problems I’ve had in previous editions of Godot were of the form where an asset’s locally generated id doesn’t match up in the various scenes that use it.

The uids’ re-generation might be faulty, as they’re new to 4.4.

In theory the problem can still arise without using uids - it certainly has for me in the past, working on a godot 4.2 project on 2 separate machines. Godot imported the same things twice, once independently on each machine, and so generated different ids for them. From what I can tell the biggest error/mistake on my part was opening the project in the godot editor before pulling the newest commits.

The best approach I’ve found so far has been to be very conscious about when a new scene is created, and to similarly be very mindful when merging git branches.

If a scene was added, but not its .uid file (or a resource but not its .uid or .import) then whoever pulls the code and then opens their 4.4 editor will generate new uids on their end. This generation probably updates the scattered .tscn files that participate in and/or use the newly added scene.

Sadly I don’t have an exact method or workflow to recommend beyond trying to do git pulls/fetches before opening the editor, especially when new scenes, nodes, or resources have been added to the project.

I guess our compensation is being able to be content with what we already have, and not having to constantly worry about someone finding out.

I wish I could set aside my convictions and care for others to make money this easily.

A second good read is her follow-up/response post: Re: Re: Bluesky and Decentralization

Thank you both (@NinjaFox@lemmy.blahaj.zone, @ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org) for taking the time to make this post not just more accessible but somewhat more bit-/link-rot-resilient by duplicating the image’s info as a text comment.

We don’t talk about it as much as authoritarian censorship, ip & copyright related takedowns, and their ilk, but image macros/memes often have regrettably small lifetimes as publicly accessible data in my experience. It might be for any number of reasons, including:

• because many of them are created on free generator websites that can’t afford to store every generated image forever,
• because people often share screenshots of things instead of a link to it,
• because for-profit social media websites are increasingly requiring account creation to view previously accessible content,

or (more probably) a combination of all three and more.

In any case as silly as image memes are, they’re also an important vector for keeping culture and communities alive (at least here on the fediverse). In 5-10 years, this transcription has a much higher chance of still hanging around in some instance’s backups than the image it is transcribing.

P.S.: sure, knowyourmeme is a thing, but they’re still only 1 website and I’m not sure if there’s not much recent fediverse stuff there yet. The mastodon page last updated in 2017 and conflates the software project with the mastodon.social instance (likely through a poor reading of it’s first source, a The Verge article that’s decent but was written in 2017).

P.P.S.: ideally, OP (@cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.world) could add this transcription directly to the post’s alt text, but I don’t know if they use a client that makes that easy for them…

It’s a bit sad, but not that surprising, that if this is true then Microsoft is clearly not tasking their most experienced engineers on the control panel (you know, that part of the OS who’s function is to allow you to tweak all the rest of the OS?).
