You that’s wild man doing gods (Richard Stallman) work here man.

Great initiative nonetheless. Compared to 8 this much more secure and for programming it’s a great choice too. Bringingmore life out of some old PCs, saving a school money, and forcing some kids to get creative in order to play Roblox.

As for isit ready fr this applicatoon, programming, it has been for a while. For general, especially web based, applications it absolutely is. Of course, there are quite few things were it’s just not but for the most part Linux is a great choice.

Because they design their own, yes. That’s how economy of scale works.

To benefit from it you either need to sell an absurd amount of stuff or buy from those who do.

Bit pricey but the Framework 16 is always a great option for the more tech inclined.

Doesn’t come with Linux by default but they support it very well and have people on staff for Linux support. You will have to install it yourself though

Half condensed milk, half sugar, add vinegar until it thickens stirring well, add some garlic to taste.

Great dipping souce. Halifax donair sauce also fantastic with garlic fingers

Open source devs are historically terrible at naming things so to follow that time honored tradition my suggestion would be “peertube-reccomendation-algorythm-chrome_browser_extension”

That vote increases funding to the area for progressive outreach and causes. You won’t change the entire province with a wole new order but you are part of showing that Alberta isn’t a lost cause to the left.

Seriously, this shows left wing lobbiests, charities, politicians, etc. That they can do something in the province. In the end all it may mean is easier access to insulin pumps or less cuts to medical services but that definitly matters.

It’s easy to look at the big picture and grow hostile but your vote does matter.

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought would happen. Come in here thinking “of course, people will find a way to blame the NDP here instead of the liberals” instantly proved right.

NDP incumbent beaten by people moving to liberals? Those NDP voters, who still had more than the liberals, should’ve voted libral. Green voters move to the Librals against the incombant? Nah, those dastardly NDP caused this. Cons win by a landslide? Somehow, you guessed it, NDPs fault

Yeah I’m terrible at this. Almost put man in this sentance twice. I don’t stop myself unless explicitly asked as it would be quite patronizing to treat them like they’re somehow different than all the other women I call man or my guy however but when asked it’s hard to stop. I do my best though

Oh shit, how do I do that?

On bans I did mean sitewide as I know atleast veganhomecooks banned me (no clue why though I never interacted there. Just lurked). Fully understandable to think I meant communities with how I phrased it though lol.

Again though, I’d love to know how to check for bans. I’m very curious

Not OP but I got banned on reddit atleast 4 times. Zero bans on Lemmy though.

All for supposed harassment usually after having a disagreement in certain subreddits. Honestly could be anything their report system seems easy to abuse

Now, I don’t tend to have those on Lemmy nearly as much, but when the pedophile I was disagreeing with reported me here the mods were chill to hear my side after issuing me a warning.

For both the more chill atmosphere and the better mods I like more here.

Knurel that shit up my boy.

Knureling is heavily underated

Strong preference to the left. The one on the right I never know where to look. Way too busy and I always miss what I’m looking for at a glance. Searching and searching every time sucks shit. On the left, it’s just a list. My overworked brain can handle that easily. Also, I prefer more angular designs over the bubbly pattern that’s so common today. Lastly, when it’s always there it’s easier for my brain to know where things generally are spatially.

Of course, the left one does waste a good amount of space breaking from a more minimalist idea. You don’t need a menu when you’re already in the settings view you need. Benefits to both, negatives too. I prefer the left version.

Lastly, I do disagree with the idea that MacOS was doing a “form over function” as the function is clear. It’s a waste of space and, usually, mind function to put things that are un-needed in front of the user at times they don’t need them. MacOS Strives to lower the amount of visual overhead given at all times allowing you to focus on exactly what you’re doing without the rest of the UI in your way.

I don’t like it aesthetically as though I like minimal design I find taken to the extreme it can be too boring but it absolutely has a function.

Yeah but I’m glad they’re not here.

I liked this stats but don’t like that I liked them. I shouldn’t feel so happy at number go up. Lemmy is way less adictive for me and I’m happy with it

Good question though

You can use wsl

I’m fully against it’s use here and completely support a ban.

I’m not fully against AI but it’s essentially the same as an artist tracing art something well known and hated in the artist community. All AI art must take every piece from somewhere. Every section is traced. That’s scum behavior.

If, let’s say, one were to use an AI generator that only used art it had permission to use, that’s fine and lile tracing cc0 art. It’s lazy as hell, and going to likely look terrible, but no moral issue. Currently however you’re just stealing other peoples art.

As for the “we already do this for shitposts” argument:

1.) It’s reasonably easy to still find the original artists ifthe image isn’t generated by AI.
2.) Using it just supports this awful practice.
3.) An insane amount of electricity and water are burned to get that image.
4.) Just find some random, already available image if quality doesn’t matter. Photoshop it to fit if you have to and who cares if your skill is trash that makes it so much more funny.
5.) You should put a bitmore effort into your shitpost. Make it a nice, long, fiber filled log of a shotpost.

Dahm been quite a bit since I’ve seen this one. Wonder what changed on my system?

Oh hey, been a bit but I’m glad you came back to this. I honestly really liked the book. Very rushed ending though I’d argue. I like a lot of what they did with the mercenaries and with nightblood along with the general lore. Everything with lightsong and blushweaver was great too but at times the book dwadled around and when it came to it, answers seemed to just be tossed together and regirgatated (can’t spell that shit). Lightning always kept me entertained though.

I know that’s a lot of complaining but other than the end the book was very good. It is his style to have everythingfall together at the end it seems but the other four books I’ve read by him seem much more-like a bunch of pieces falling into place and a few things blowing up spectacularly than this one which felt like “and then it turned out some people are bad and the others are good. Here’s why it all happened and some lore too. They also fight. But wait? Happily ever after too.”

I don’t regret reading it at all though. All three stories were great in their own right and the world is certainly my favourite. The system is so interesting along with the culture. I hope he revisits it.

God, sorry for the novella, but you did make the mistake of asking me about a book. You fool.

Took a break but now I’m 400 pages into way of kings BTW. Liking it a lot so far.

Product iteration is slow and it’s very likely that these things coming out now (the 12 in specific) were in the pipeline before the 16 released.

Yeah, I agree, something to do with the 16 should have been given in this release. I disagree wholly with the idea of creating two new skews before making true the implicit promises of the 16 (upgradability, interchangeability, and a 240 watt charger. Though, no charger like that exists for USB-C yet from anyone so that ones a bit more understandable)

The PC I personally assume was them being pressured by investors to do something “AI”. That’s a real thing that as a web dev I’ve been seeing like crazy. Investors are pushing absurdly hard for something AI. This, likely, was the quickest to ship product they could hold up to satiate the beast.

Yeah, it is disapointing. Understandable though and I personally didn’t expect an upgrade any time soon myself but it’s a slap in the face for the 16 buyers and concerning to say the least. If the 16 fails to deliver on a laptop with an upgradable dGPU, it’ll be another on a very long list.

They did also lie about it in many ways. On release, cyberpunk was nothing like what they promised continually.

Silksong, however, has had exactly no information outside a small demo, a trailer, some art, and now 6 small clips and images.

I don’t know what to expect from silksong and that makes me happy. The hype train has set up a bigger world, new movement, and a few fun looking blss fights. I’m sure they can deliver on that

I’d argue this is more like “I want to build a competitor to spotify so let’s decide between using mariaDB or writing an SQL compliant database from scratch”

In your example, a database is the end goal and you can either start with a premade or make your own.

Here, a social media platform is the end goal. Activitypub is a very important part of it but it’s not the entire piece.

If we replace the parts of your analogy with the original your example would parse out to “I want to make a competitor to lemmies ActivityPub integration, so let’s start with fedify” which is not the same as the article states.

Now, should you re-impliment a protocol yourself or use a generic library is the real question. Both have their benefits. With option A you have full code ownership and can wrap your solution around your end goal without the issue of dealing with the original to get needed changes accepted. You don’t have to worry about code not written by or understood by you. With option B, you get a more robust and almost certainly more accurate implementation. Along with, for free, better integration with any service using the same library. Very useful for a federated service when talking about cross platform.

Both have many more positives and negatives of course and each person should decide on their own how to proceed.

My opinion? I think it’s usually best to own anything which could feasibly be understood by a single dev. Even if each dev doesn’t. Anything larger shouldn’t be internal in my strong opinion unless very good, specific reasons apply that makes an external solution impossible or increadibly difficult. Most negatives of an external library also apply at that point with enough time.
