I love older consoles and a while ago I made Wizards & Dinosaurs for Atari 2600 and Oopi's Quest for Nintendo NES. Both are free, can be played in the browser or on their respective console; https://kenney.nl/games
@JamesGleick Faulkner did this within a single novel, The Sound and the Fury, in four parts voicing three different character points of view (of different but overlapping events) and only ending with an omniscient narrator story.
@TheConversationUS Thanks for that. At least that time (which I lived through) the withdrawal came early enough for a real primary campaign. This time would be worse.
@notjustbikes Just got back from two weeks in Italy. Spent less time in cars (two taxi rides) than I'd spent in years. High speed rail, local rail, subways, light rail and buses, and they were all great. The only thing I didn't take was a bike share ride.
The weirdest part is that the light rail sound from your videos has somehow become very comforting. When I heard the near identical sound from a light rail car in Florence, it sounded ridiculously 'right'.
I don't fully agree with all that's in the article "Open source is neither a community nor a democracy", but I think its good if in general there was better distinguishment between #FOSS i.e. "The Work" vs. FOSS creators i.e. "the workers". Too often when we say "FOSS" we implicitly refer to some imaginary homogenous culture, and derive expectations on the moral/ethical behavior in a "community" that doesn't actually exist.
@smallcircles I somewhat disagree with the whole premise that "community implies that we're all participating on some degree of equal footing", seems like a strawman to me (or maybe large parts of the world do understand it in that way, but I think he extrapolates entitled users too much). The rest of the post has indeed some good points. I 100 % agree with your 1-toot summary.
@smallcircles I have misgivings about FOSS, but it’s mostly about corporate welfare & lack of public support for open source software. I’m not reading anything that utter disappointment of a human wrote, though.
Web UI localization (partial). The language can be changed in Settings, under the "Experiments" section (currently only English and Dutch are available). You can contribute translations via translate.codeberg.org
Various improvements to FEP-ae97 C2S API
Portable actors located on other servers can be imported and merged with local ones.
The #Forgejo monthly update was published ✨ It is a high level overview of the project activities.
The User Research effort that gained momentum two months ago continues with a new round of user testing sessions. It is key to build a roadmap.
Building blocks for both ActivityPub federation and data portability improvements were merged into the codebase. They are not yet used for any user visible feature but they are a stepping stone.
Me: Let me tell you all about my thoughts on the recent rivalry (read: fairly one-sided grumbling on the Fedi side) between Bluesky and the Fediverse.
What I think of the "conflict": Wholly misguided. But I'm glad it's happening, because it's galvanized a bunch of people and projects on the Fediverse side.
Good thing is that Theia is not a fork of VSCode in the same way that VSCodium is. It is its own IDE from the ground up, but reusing some (OSS) parts from VSCode. While they implemented the VSCode extension API they also implemented their own extension mechanism and aren't dependent on MS marketplace.
I dunno if Theia is good alternative for all uses, esp. if one is programming for .NET it may not be. I think I'll give it a try.
@smallcircles Yup agree with that. Open VSX is a nice solution and I'd love to see it gain traction. I might give it another try too. Used to use Theia a few years ago as an online/remote ide which worked fine but then I stopped when vscode had remote development.
If you're running GoToSocial from a snapshot build, you can now try this out with the latest snapshot.
While WASM SQLite has been shown to be faster in certain benchmarks, you may not even notice any difference in the performance of your instance. The main reason for the switch is not performance, but the fact that WASM SQLite is a bit easier for us to read and understand, and because it uses the wazero WASM runtime, so it's even more portable than Modernc SQLite, which means we'll be able to offer release builds on a wider range of architecture/os combinations than previously :)
If you're a snapshot user, please let us know if you encounter any database issues while running the latest snapshot, so we can ensure everything works before putting this in a release some time next month or so.
