Less used than the Code key apparently. Their editor must crash A LOT if they need a dedicated button to launch it more than A or Space

Oh phew, I don’t have flowers on my blanket either. I guess I’m safe too. Otherwise I’m in exactly the same position as this meme, and that would make me have to think about my life choices.

What are the chances of everyone interested in this project already having a tablet? I don’t own any, and I certainly wouldn’t be going out to buy one just to test running Linux on it. I do have multiple old phones I could turn into development test devices however. Anything is better than nothing.

I envy your world, free of American politics.

It’s an extension that makes GitHub pages full width: https://github.com/xthexder/wide-github/

Admittedly the usefulness has gone down a little bit in the last couple years now that GitHub themselves have made code diffs and some other things full width by default.

When I first wrote this I had just gotten a giant 4K display at work and was really annoyed I still had to scroll left and right with the page only covering 1/3 of the screen.

Honestly the best thing about FOSS is that money isn’t driving all the decisions. Most open-source projects are built because the dev just wants to build something cool or useful, or they’re trying to solve specific problems. Most individual devs don’t really care if their user count goes up every quarter.
Personally I’ve been maintaining a chrome extension for about 10 years, and it’s sat happily with about 7000 users that entire time. I built it because I wanted to use it, and I’ve declined several offers to buy the extension and monetize it.

Since this is an opinion statement, you’re actually quoting the primary source right there!

The goal should be to have less uninformed people overall by educating the population. But unfortunately the people in charge keep voting against funding education (and basically anything beneficial to society).

Is there any country on earth that hasn’t at one point been involved in a land dispute?

Normally the term for this is headless rendering, but I think in this case it’s more like head-only rendering 😆

Lol, $100 would be a deal now. It’s $140-200 for Windows 11 depending on if you get Home or Pro.

I looked up how much it would cost to get a Windows Server license to run in a VM on my linux server, and that’s a minimum of $500 (but possibly more depending on factors that are irrelevant as an individual). I decided I’d run unactivated Win10Home instead with some registry hacks to make things auto-start the way I want. If that stops working, I guess I’ll just stop doing automated Windows CI.

moving wealth from the public into the private

That’s a side effect of capitalism and lobbying (aka bribing) the government for preferential treatment. But it’s kind of the opposite of the point of government. Most businesses are incredibly selfish and will cut every corner they can without the government there to enforce workplace safety, market rules, and policing fraud and theft.

I’ve been eating gluten free for 15+ years now, and it’s gotten so much easier now. Though the food definitely costs more if you want any sort of grains.

When I was diagnosed I had basically no symptoms (my mom was also diagnosed). Now if I eat gluten I’ll end up feeling similar to a hangover. It’s amazing what your body can get used to if you’re eating it constantly.

Now that I’ve been eating gluten free, several of my other food sensitivities and allergies have become more mild or gone away entirely. Milk was a big one when I was younger (tested negative for lactose, but the milk proteins can look similar to gluten to your immune system).

Seize who’s assets exactly? The second you draw a line and say anyone on the other side has fewer rights than you, you’re falling right in line with those same right-wing policies.

There is no way to define a law against “right-wingers” that doesn’t infringe on basic rights like freedom of opinion and freedom from discrimination. You can’t punish people for being part of a group. You need to point to something specific that each individual has done that is illegal before prosecuting. Anything less and society will break down into fascism.

Only if they’re whole beans. Split beans don’t count.

In theory it makes it possible for other games to use the same items to make stuff in their games (I doubt this in practice)

I’ve heard this before, but there’s literally nothing preventing games from setting up some shared items on their own without NFTs. Nobody does it because companies want to keep their IP, and worrying about external items would be a nightmare to balance.

NFTs solve like 1% of the problem of sharing items. So much more goes into making them actually work. For example: NFT id 5551337 is owned by the player: now what? How do you figure out what 3d model to render? What actions can you perform? How does it integrate with other systems? All of that is going to have to be custom for every game involved on a per-item basis.

The way you phrased that perfectly illustrates the current problem AI has: In a problem space as large as natural language, there are nearly an infinite number of ways it can be wrong. So no matter how much data we feed it, there will always be some “brand new sentence” someone asks that breaks it and causes a wrong answer.

Looking back at this, it’s pretty obvious, but my hungover brain was somewhere else this morning. My bad

/s right?
