"I hate when dictionary definitions are just an unhelpful, vague reference to another word."
As LibreTorment has proven to be inefficient, insecure and hard to integrate, we're happy to announce systemd-tormentd coming in the next release of systemd, featuring a Lua API for configuration, integration with Polkit and, most importantly, complete incompatibility with anything but Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
But... whoever ported libnix2 + newlib to amiga needs to see a psychiatrist, because allocating a few bytes with a simple new or malloc() should not start an infinite loop that eats all available memory until it eventually paints over the screen with garbage.
How do you even let that happen?
In all of the time I have spent debugging my own porting work thinking I did something wrong, I could have used AllocMem, avoided all of this and rewritten the other handful of stdlib features I needed instead.
Stop using Electron to create desktop applications!
We don't need a full fucking web engine just for a chat program!
Yes, please give me a 8 GB memory footprint for my notepad application.
Want to create programs that run locally? There is something for that, it's called C!
Nearly 20 years old, LEGO NXT is now running #MicroPython! 😀
LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 (2013) is still the first priority, but we're pulling along NXT (2006) as we go. Much of it is is already working.
Thanks @schodet @danderson and many others.
What's next? Do I also need to disclose if any animals were harm during the production of my game?
@bonkmaykr I only used AI to generate the intro text, ending text, and the background images during those cutscenes. I only did that for the text because of writer's block and the fact that the game doesn't have that much story outside of an excuse plot, so I needed a more elaborate prologue than I can write. I only generated the background images because I couldn't find any good free-to-use backgrounds that would be appropriate for this game.
Like, I would understand if we are talking about some large corporation laying off developers and replacing them with AI, but I'm a one-man studio just trying to create some assets.
@gabriel I think both are dangerous for their own reasons. They will sacrifice the actual goals of FOSS, privacy, decentralization, etc for their own unrelated principles.
When it comes to the "woke devs", I think their extreme anti-capitalist stance is hurting the potential of FOSS being used by small businesses to help them be independent from Big Tech. I noticed that there is a huge potential there, but so many FOSS devs hate capitalism so much that they don't see it and see it as no different than Microsoft and Google subverting the FOSS ecosystem.
When it comes to the "center-right", they just don't want to be associated with snowflakes so some of them don't want to use Linux or the Fediverse. A lot of them are also known to be tech-illiterate and can't even make simple static websites or realize that potential of doing so in order to be independent from Big Tech censorship. Most of the ones I talk to think it's "too outdated" or just don't want to go through the trouble.
Hard to explain how much I hate Javascript and everything related to it like JSON.
It's a shitty language, used for shitty things and created by a shitty person, and now, the brains of a whole generation of devs are polluted by it and they can't do anything with this garbage.
Soon, I'm sure they will ask to drop the support of HTML from web browsers because their js twisted brains don't understand it and thinks it's too accessible to noobies.
Fuck that, browsers should drop js support tbh.
I use en Electron app to manage my socials network (Ferdium), we clearly see my CPU usage collapse once I close it.
It's creazy how much these Electron program eat for doing almost nothing.
Valve, a monopoly, yes. Forcing people to use Steam, not really. I think anyone who's worked with Valve, sans Wolfire (for good reason), has more than a few good things to say. When the competitors don't understand why the popular thing is popular they're going to lose marketshare, that's not really Valve's fault.
is it still an amiga if there's a second computer living inside it like a symbiotic bacteria?
You can simply have the code be open while having the assets being proprietary. Anyone using your code but with different assets would effectively have a different game all together.Thanks for the feedback, and this is already the plan but the only thing really stopping us is that often times something being illegal to do is not enough of a deterrent. So I would prefer to go that route when we are steady enough to take on that risk without concern. The assets might be our IP, but it is still trivially easy for a bootlegger to recycle them for a profit and walk away with the money, especially if they're outside of US jurisdiction.
Potion, Wagami wo Tasukeru
It seems like a middle between motion comic and full animation. I was first thinking it was AI, but there's no way, it's too consistent for AI right now
It still manages to have cute shots. This is adequate for a half runtime short I guess and I've seen worse dogshit than that
Work is work and if someone can keep their personal views out of it when it's not relevant, the quality of the work should be judged on it's own merits. I don't think holding that principle of neutrality is a very far reach. It is not Framework's duty to only support the people you like because of the reasons you approve. Particularly if we are talking about open source software where many of these are not directly making a profit, and particularly when this is a business and not a person. There's a dedicated time and place for everything.
I've watched a lot of maintainers gatekeep their projects to only contributors or members they agree with, and it never ends well for them, even if the people kicked out were objectively in the wrong. It demonstrates to onlookers that the maintainers care more about their own reputation than skill. And most of these are the same kinds of people who will insert extreme political messaging into projects that favor themselves. Probably the nastiest examples are when Discord Chat Exporter and node-ipc were compromised to target Russian users, with DRM and aggressive malware respectively. Not the government, mind you, but random ordinary people they thought were Russian. It's cultist bullshit.
Also, vaxry isn't even an extremist, all of that shit was made up by a known pedophile because he was mad he couldn't control vax's project. Never seen any serious proof of the claims against him. So even if this "you're supporting a nazi" stuff had any weight, it's aimed at the wrong people.
