Impressive work! PS: It would be great with a repository link on the downloads page. I missed the sentence about the license on the front page, and incorrectly assumed the game to be closed-source when the download page only showed binaries

I see insightful comments from both sides of this issue, but what worries me is that most solutions seem to rely on technical solutions. I'm a technology-optimist and materialist at heart, but I don't think technological solutions

The only safeguard against state institutions taking your things is strong laws preventing them from doing so. This is a fact independent of what kind of currency is used.

If you think the patches are random , you must be missing something.

Do Bluetooth devices also work perfectly? For me, BT works perfectly with PulseAudio. PipeWire is very satisfying for absolutely everything else, but BT devices just refuse to connect (and I'm inept at debugging BT issues).

The primary emotion I feel when reading this is pure exhaustion. I mean, there's plenty of things wrong with this, and it sounds like a terrible way to organize society in general, but first and foremost it just feels… exhausting. I wo

I dislike most things about the modern web – but seeing Flash gone is not one of them. Good riddance!

I've been meaning to hack together some scripts to automate the whole process, with an accompanying writeup, but I've been lazy. Your comment made me want to get this done though, thanks :-) Short summary: I go see the property, t

It is also incredibly useful when considering a property. Sketching out the nearby structures and trees as a Stellarium landscape is a great way to figure out what the lighting conditions are during other times of the year, especially at hi

I code solely for the CLI. Python, C, C++, Rust. Recently I thought I'd learn some web programming, especially since it's no longer tied to writing JS. I gave up when it seemed there's seemingly not a single text that describ

> I've done that in lots of languages, but it usually means I was trying to crash the compiler :-) It's a real problem. Anecdotally: I maintain a Debian package with a large-ish (but far from huge), template-heavy C++ codebase

The only thing I used my google account for was email. There are many good alternatives – I myself have been happy with mailbox.org for years.

Then I guess you same logic applies if you go to the store to buy some groceries, and one day they say "you, you right there, TedShiller, you're not allowed to buy apples from this establishment!" They have no obligation to t

I try to avoid filing bugs when I don't have any debugging information beyond "it doesn't work, but works with PA". My problem here is that I'm incredibly inept at debugging Bluetooth issues.

I'll hijack the thread: is anyone else having Bluetooth audio issues on PipeWire? I'm super happy with it in general, but a certain BT headset that worked just fine with PulseAudio just refuses to connect with PipeWire. As with al

They solve the task at hand (cross-platform GUIs), plus some auxiliary tasks like cross-platform FS access etc etc. That's much cleaner and more principled than "screw it, let's ship a browser".

It's not about the memory use. It's about the insane complexity. An old grandma is looking for a little city car to take her to the neighborhood store. Solution: Use an Airbus A380. The fact that the engineers have made the plane

Because the idea of shipping a goddamn browser for each and every little GUI app is revolting and disturbing. What other crazy decisions have these people made?!

At least the Rust documentation system makes it very easy to just switch to reading the 1.0.100 docs also in the future.

All because FB happens to be there, and happens to be popular within some groups. If it disappeared, however, it would quickly be replaced. The only value it brings is "being popular".

While I echo some of these sentiments, I don't think they apply in the slightest to the author of the blog post this thread discusses. Certainly a "real scientist" in every sense.
