McLaren still finding ways to destroy every bit of happiness in success.

Just make a decision and stuck with it, this kind of every week new idea just kills every bit of joy.

Nice graph, I didn't expect that.

We all had experience with ads showing up after we talked in person with someone about topic. I don't need some random person ir media telling me something obvious is happening. And for some time already.

It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don't see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.

I don't know about game dev, buy SerenityOS guys are flirting with Swift.

If it wasn't from Apple, I would be all over it. They basically took different languages and most of C++ devs made fastest advance in Swift. Rust I do like and support, but is too confusing for amout of free time I have.

I don't see it as OP equated Ukraine to Palestine, just theoretizes that there is common other side in those conflicts and that reasons for those wars are not what we think they are.

Interesting idea, but I don't see it.

Amount of batteries needed is not solved problem.

EU has around 250 million cars, with 10-15 million sold every year. Even best future mines have lithium for around 1 million cars per year and those batteries last about ten years.

Sodium Ion might give us a chance if we invest in technology.

Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.

People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is... something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.

This is current problem in society that we don't tolerate different opinion.

We learned to hate "algorithm" but those can actually be good if creator wants to help us insted of manipulate us.

Without a friendly algorithm to help us, we have no chance in finding our way around all this information around us.

Those are only .md files, I guess any text editor will open them.

Yeah, no reminders and tasks, but notes should be accessible from anything and git can sync it. Never tried it, but text files were the reason I choose zim in the first place. I want it simple.

Same. Perfectly simple to start, and you can build from there.

I just dump stuff if I not in the mood to organize it.

Zim Wiki https://zim-wiki.org/

Desktop wiki, saving to .md text files, can commit to git repo and has basic task handling.

Perfect for me.

Zim can be used to:

Keep an archive of notes
Keep a daily or weekly journal
Take notes during meetings or lectures
Organize task lists
Draft blog entries and emails
Do brainstorming

Even better when we remind ourselves that GTK means "Gimp ToolKit" :)

I have done stuff by myself they in anybtime before yt would need someone to show me.

Whem car mechanic tells me I have problem on my car I can find yt on how to detect it and how to solve it. I don't get knowledge to do it, but I can definitely appreciate their work more and not think they are just ripping me off.

It is amazing what we have and take for granted.

"real wierd vibes" is very far from "transphobia".

I fail to see how is traing AI on publicly available images hurting small artists?

You don't have to write if you don't have time, link to explanation is good for me.

I basically use generated images in places that would not have any ilustrations before. There is no budget. When I have money for an artist I hire an artist.

It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.

Using "he" insted of "they" is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It's like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.

There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.

These people started it and are doing it for fun.

Fixing few decades of technical debt is not fun and a big question would be if their code would even be considered for existing engines.

It us so much fin it already has over 1000 contributors. It got us 1k more people that understand browsers deeply. I think that's a huge win whatever happens with browser itself

I see it just as extension to "cancel culture" in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.

It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.

Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don't know what's happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.

I don't see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.

Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.

It is still young and underdeveloped.

It is advertised to be simpler, but I don't understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don't care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.

Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.

Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing "I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works" I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).

I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.

I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn't want me to read their article I will not do it.

But... they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.

Than there is problem with I don't trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.

Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.

While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.

If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month... or a year).

I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.

I understand she wants freedom in a house she lives in.

But if you go to visit your parents it is not of her concern. She can not get both.

She might be worried about some fantasy she has, but it might not be too bad in the end.

I am in this situation. My parther is close (physically and emotionally) to her family and I wouldn't want them visiting. But I am happy for her (without me) to go.

Problem arises when she wants me to go too and that's where fight starts. Either eight away or after visit, wether I go or not.

No advice, just my experience.

I am slowly switching back to podcasts, it is only question of time when yt quality goes bellow usability, they are dancing around that thin line like with search.

First ever, I think was

First on personal computer was probably "Football Manager" on C64: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ej3zs7PB-QQ

Firts on x86 was "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" https://youtube.com/watch?v=EGoFwc_EgZM in school.

But first ever was probably some arcade, I would love to know which one was first contact. Never even though of it. Tetris, or Operation wolf, or Donky Kong.

This things are also some of first: https://youtube.com/watch?v=PNZ6DUEzzeA and https://youtube.com/watch?v=T0HovHcgM1g

Woow... you time traveled me far in the past. But I don't know which one was first :(.

Thank you for mentioning Pie Fed, I neverd heard of it until now, but looks great. Clean code, intro video for developers, db structure exolained. Really friendly for new contributors, quite refreshing.

If those options are functional, otherwise focus on making some of them functional.

Sadly, this is expected, the unknown person didn't break any law. I guess we need to update laws to cover this kind of threats.

Consult a lawyer, document everything.

Everyone involved should try to write down or record everything they can remember about suspected person and contact with them.

My country is similar, but there is a difference if they cross a line at some point if you reported them before or not. Punishment is much harder and faster if there are reports before incident.

Maybe an error?

Error would be if they removed GMaps or Gmail from Play store, this is sabotage.

Play store is 99% some kind of scum, but they found open source app that community likes and is providing service comparable to their app. Yeah, right.

If they don't want us to call it sabotage, they should be extra careful about apps that are providing same service as them.

Sadly we don't have huge choice. I think gpodder wirks on windows: https://gpodder.github.io/ and does the job.

But within artificial sweeteners, which might be even worse for our health than sugar.

The only carbonated drink without caffeine, alcohol and sugar is non alcoholic beer.

It is really great, just find one which after taste does not bother you (most have some sweet aftertaste) and drink it cold. It is great drink.

Part of those EV are lithium mines being pushed on developing nations.

People in Serbia are protesting for the last two years over very poisonous lithim mining project planned in the green, healthy and fertile land.

While they claim "biggest lithium mine in Europe" and "supplying 90% of EU needs", they forget to say "current needs" and that it will have lithium for maybe 1 milion cars per year. EU has 250 million cars. In 10 years 10 million cars which will all need new battery.

So they want to destroy beautiful nature, to poison huge part of agricultural land, for 10 million EVs. That will, in bast possibile scenario reduce CO2 by 0.5%. Cars are 20% of CO2 emissions in EU. EV have, at best, 50% less CO2 emissions in 10 years of use. So 50% of 10/250 part of 20%... that's miserable.

Serbia gets 3% of lithium sales (that would be equally miserable few millions per year). That's not even enough for dealing with accidents that might happen with thousand of tons of sulfuric acid needed for mine.

Serbia is not part of EU and does not have money to buy EVs, nor has clean energy capacity to make good use of those EVs.

Here is published scientific report: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-68072-9

It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.

I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don't understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don't manage.

In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.

Android is complete shit show.

It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn't care about security.

If you need CUDA for certain applications in example, its better to use Nvidia.

Depends on budget. PyTorch works nicely on ROCm and, for me, bigger constraint is available VRAM than GPU speed and looks like AMD has cheaper RAM, comparing their cheapest 16GB cards AMD is 33% cheaper than Nvidia where I live, and there was some card 45% cheaper few months ago. Huge savings if on limited budget.

I never understand hate ladybird and SymphonyOS is getting in fediverse.

People are doing interesting work against all odds, everyone ever just saying "it is not possible", finding some random comments from project founder to hate.

But you know what? You and your opinion is not important. People are not doing this to make Linux competitor or Mozzila competitor but to have fun and learn something new.

I also don't want apple near it, but Andreas learned browser development on Safari and with looking for "popular enought" memory safe language it is rust vs swift and just by looking at the code becomes obvious how easier Swift is to pick up. Especially for someone comming from C++.

Haters gonna hate, I wish them luck. Failing is ok too.

Short answer: No.

If someone is being finaned by ads, they are doing something wrong. That is not sustainable nor secure, especially if one wants to reamin truthful.

Ads are used to control media, and are a bad thing. Also ads are not problem, bit random JavaScript executed on my computer is.

Put paywall (just don't push it into my search without marking it as paywall), Patreon, sell hats and t-shirts... there are better ways.
