To be honest, the extreme negative reaction was a surprise to me, as I thought interaction between disparate systems was the entire point, but clearly we didn’t navigate the culture correctly.
Noooo fucking shit? If they spent more than a minute on a proper instance and not milquetoast mastodon dot social, they would have realised that a good number of fedi users despise shenanigans like this?
I think about a feature or bugfix that I want to work on, then shoehorn it in by any means necessary. Once my code is confirmed working, the planning phase begins and I go through the module(s) I’m working with line-by-line and match the original author’s coding style and usually by that point I pick up a trail or discover a bunch of helper functions/libraries that I can use to replace parts of my code, and continue from there.
As others have said, configuration files is a great way to learn that. Pick a config option you want to learn about, jump to the config loader, find where the variable gets set, then do a global search for that function. From there it starts to fall into place.
Sidenote: I also learned rust this way. It took me around 6 months to learn the rgit codebase solely from adding features that I wanted from cgit. Now I’m at the point where rebasing from upstream to my soft-fork doesn’t mess up any of my changes, and am able add or fix things with relative ease. If memory serves, a proper debugger (firedbg is excellent!) was used on several occasions to track down an extremely annoying and ambiguous error message that was due to rust’s trait system being a pain in my ass.
Tried swiping on the blocked community in the settings? I got it to show up that way.
Never thought I’d see microscoff astroturfing on Lemmy. We’ve made it!
Thanks for the new words to filter on here 😘
Definitely! Voyager has been wonderful when it comes to filtering and my filter/block list is massive. I do have the issue where the Lemmy timelines get stale quickly and All is a ghost town but its worth it to see mostly positive things. The desktop experience is atrocious.
On the microblog side, moving to an instance running Sharkey was the best thing to do as Sharkey has the feature to hide the CWs entirely.
From my experience, CW only works if the post is completely hidden from the feed without the option to view it.
Blahaj Zone had the option to yeet that shit from the timeline entirely and it worked amazingly until a migration fucked that up leaving it broken for months and my mental health dropped off a cliff because holy fuck did I not realise most of the people I followed posted so much depressing shit that triggered my cptsd. The urge to click the button was too strong.
Its par for the Fediverse course, really. Good ideas and half-assed implementations.
Broken in iOs 16.7.2 using whatever built in viewer comes with Safari.
Bitlocker.
That’s awesome, congratulations!
I don’t have an answer for the windows audio codec.
Perhaps EasyEffects with the auto gain plugin would help in the meantime?
Screenshot is mine:
I use a combination of PiHole via a VPN to my home server and Orion browser.
Its greatly improved my experience.
DOD OD 250 (the yellow one not grey) is still my fav. It was my first pedal and still kicks ass. I believe theres a VST of it now.
As for “budget” you can build one from a PCB or hand wire it yourself, its so old theres no multi layer PCBs, I built one for use with a bass back in 2009 or 2010 since I didn’t want to modify the original.
They can’t even use a lot of these IPs anymore.
That’s the thing though. Gamers have a special kind of amnesia that gets triggered every time BIG_IP_OF_THEIR_LIKING releases a new sequel or edition. The communities on Lemmy and reddit are unfortunately not indicative of how the wider audience actually perceives games. We’re a fringe group, and the publishers/studios bank hard on that. The uneducated and apathetic masses are their target audience. If the gaming world listened to the likes of Lemmy and reddit users, micro/macrotransactions, early-access hell, and half-finished releases wouldn’t have become common practice. But here we are.
Fallout is now associated with 76 unless you’re thinking of Obsidian.
You may be right. Fallout 76 has however seen a record number of players since the show aired. That’s commonplace with most gaming franchises when a film or TV series comes out. See also: The Last of Us, and SWTOR when The Mandalorian came out.
(I personally think of Neverwinter Nights 2 when thinking of Obsidian. t’was peak gaming)
Blizzard is a shell of its old self, cutting interest in Warcraft, Starcraft, and Overwatch.
I agree with you here. In reality, Blizzard still consistently has queue issues when releasing a new WoW expansion or game, even after all this time. They know it happens, and won’t scale up for launch day on WoW retail AND Classic. Their target audience eats that shit up and I’m saying this as a former player that quit during Battle for Azeroth. No comment on Starcraft as I quit when the OG Starcraft scene died down on aus-1 back in the day. Overwatch 1 was seeing incredible numbers when I played from launch until Moria was released. OW2 being a pay-to-win shit show ate into their numbers until they gave up the pay-to-win bullshit. I see more and more of my friends and streamers playing it again now that Bobby Kotick is gone. I’m quite disappointed in some of them, but it is what it is.
There’s rumors even Call of Duty is struggling to retain relevance in new releases.
Good thing they’re just rumours until the earnings report comes. Sony has poorly-redacted court documents stating that CoD is their bread and butter on the playstation. There’s no way that’s changing in the forseeable future (at least not in the billions of dollars range), even with the absolute shit-show that was MW3. When MW4 comes out, the diehard fans will forget it even happened, as they have with every single release since its inception.
Money. They are buying up IP instead of making it on their own merit.
I haven’t opened any of the LPs, probably won’t until my frames arrive. I plan to light them up
Didn’t put many stickers on my bottle just yet. On my way to work atm and this is what I have so far:
I’ll probably make a post when its done 😂
Welcome back! No apologies are necessary, shit happens. I hope your career has some highs in the near future, keeping my fingies 🤞🏼crossed 🤞🏼 for you~ :3
My opinion of the new album is unchanged since last time I mentioned it. TTPD (the title track) is the only one I put on regularly. I’ve not made a playlist with the new tracks, I’m not sure where they fit in my personal “eras” playlist just yet.
My physical copy of TTPD arrived from the US along with the Target edition of Lover this past Friday. My bestie sent some goodies along with it which means I finally have merch!!! I got a tapestry with all of the album covers, a bunch of water bottle stickers from the Eras tour, and the Little Golden Book!! I was so excited that I bought a fancy water bottle for the stickers 😂
(the bottle comes today so yaaay!!)
I’m interested in your use of the Arc card for media transcoding. What one did you get and how would you say it compares to a GTX 960? The one in my server died and I stuck a spare 2060 in there a while back and am looking to downgrade to something sensible.
Most of my media is 1080p x264 with some 4k HEVC (and growing) if that helps.
Yeah same here regarding immutable distros. I’ve only dabbled in the reading and it seems to fit your use case. ^^
Keeping my eye on the thread for future reference. Best of luck!
THIS a thousand times. World of Warcraft became dead to me when it implemented voice chat in the game’s client. I can’t hear well enough for voice chat and while I can speak just fine, I refuse to buy peripherals so that the hearies can feel superior with their lack of environmental awareness.
@OP needs to check their privilege.
FOSS and FLOSS are political by default.
