What I’m saying is that Microsoft is, in fact, being hostile by limiting OSS builds such as Codium in the ways I’ve mentioned above. I guess that’s how they try to get people to keep using their proprietary build instead.
Just a dorky trans woman on the internet.

Version 5 of a software, device, vehicle or such isn’t necessarily better than version 4, and no official definition of the word “version” require this, either. If I may make another anology: You may pick one of 5 different versions of an outfit to wear, and even though they were labeled in the order they were made, from 1 to 5, none are inherently, objectively better than any other. In the case of UUIDs there are versions that are meant to supercede others, but also simply alternatives for different use-cases. Anyone with access to some up-to-date information can learn what each version’s purpose is.
except for visual studio code
But also:
Though I’ve been very happy about the direction .NET and C# have been going, especially the licensing.
--download-sections
option. Looking at it, you might want to use --download-sections "*0:00-1:00"
.--list-thumbnails
and it doesn’t look like YouTube offers any square ones, so I would look into using ImageMagick to edit the image with a command. I doubt yt-dlp allows you to do any sort of image manipulation out of the box.For the unfamiliar (like me), Xenia is chilling with Kiki the Cyber Squirel, the mascot of the FOSS painting program Krita.
Not to be pedantic but I think the headline is fine.
If you simulated a fire in a building for training purposes and upon activating the fire alarm, it got broadcast to emergency services when it shouldn’t, you did accidentally broadcast the fire alarm, simulated or not.
The “accidentally” already implies it was done in error, suggesting it was not an emergency. On the other hand, if it was a real emergency, and just wasn’t meant to be publicly broadcasted, I feel like the headline would’ve looked different.
I have a feeling that the people that think “cis” is a slur just don’t understand what it means, or are outright transphobic.
I recently had a guy admit he might be transphobic because he “prefers actual women”, and later uttered the sentence “maybe women don’t like to be called ‘cis women’?” and like, dude, it’s just an adjective that means the opposite of trans. But how dare we imply that trans women are women?!
In the end, treating cis / cisgender as a slur is yet another way to attack trans people.
Elon was able to buy Twitter because it’s public, and it wasn’t making money.
Valve is a privately owned company, and I have a feeling they care a little about what they’re doing.
So that’s where it was hiding, not on the user page itself. Thanks!
If you make a PSN account you have to agree to their ToS, which probably lets them do more than a EULA does.
It also boosts user numbers, which looks good on paper.
I use uBlock Origin + vaft from TwitchAdSolutions, which is currently working pretty well for me. I’ve had some issues before, and every now and then the stream can freeze up when an ad is played. But it’s so much better than having to endure even a second of those mind-rotting ads.
When a hosting provider intends to shut down a space for trans people by labeling it “inherently adult content”, can’t we agree that it’s a little transphobic?
This is potentially dangerous, as it encourages dealing with text as an array of char
s. But graphemes in Unicode, which represent a single symbol in a writing system (such as “H”, “心”, or “💚”), can take up multiple char
s in a string. The linked approaches only work if you can guarantee that your string only contains ASCII. See also: The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023 (Still No Excuses!)
I think at that point you could just look into Entity Component System design. I’m particularly fond of Flecs. Here, entities are empty objects to which you can add any number of components. Typically components are void of logic. Instead you write systems that match entities that have the components they need, and then just operate on that data.
I might be too old-school for this but this video felt like it focused on AI assisted programming and I really don’t give a damn.
This thinking is hateful and dangerous.
Are there trans women who have previously experimented with being a femboy? Definitely.
Are there femboys that for one reason or another are actually trans but in denial? I’m sure they exist.
Is every femboy an egg? Hell no. There’s plenty that are happy with their gender identity. In fact, thanks to them being able to be in touch with their feminine side, they probably know pretty well if they feel like a man or a woman. Don’t push femboys to transition, but be supportive if they want to explore the possibility.
At the moment, upvotes and downvotes, while not used that way by many people, is more about what others will see, rather than what content you like. It’s more like a community moderating and rating effort. Upvotes make posts more visible, by pushing them further up in what’s currently popular. Downvotes do the opposite, and in my personal opinion, should be reserved for posts that don’t fit the community they were posted in, spam, or things that break rules – typically the same reason why you would (and should) report a post. They are not “agree” and “disagree” buttons. Topics you disagree with can still spark interesting conversations.
Using the same mechanic, voting, to tell an algorithm whether similar posts should have higher visibility on your own feed, would be incompatible with this existing system. Posts that get a quick reaction or emotion out of you are even further encouraged, while things you simply don’t want to see (but aren’t necessarily “bad”) get punished heavily.
This system works through subscribing to communities you are interested in and actively participating in improving the health of those communities, rather than passively consuming content. That takes some effort, yes.
All in all I think this proposed system is not compatible with Lemmy, and maybe not even a good idea.
Looks like they’ll be harvesting your data if you follow anyone from Threads, maybe even injecting ads. Unsure what happens to the data of people that get followed by a Threads user. A large part of the fediverse is here precisely because they want to escape corporate meddling, data-hoarding, advertising and other anti-user malpractices. There’s a number of people talking about this, here’s a recent post that highlights some of the things from their TOS.
I don’t have the time to watch it all, but I remember that the Steamworks Development channel on YouTube had recently-ish released this video about how games get surfaced to players and it also talks about what parts of the store are personalized and which aren’t.
In the video I can only see the small ad on the left side about the Steam Deck. You’re talking about the big banner ad that appears somewhere inbetween the sections? I can only guess they put it there for everyone, or maybe just every region that can purchase a Deck, for simplicity.
Something else to consider in place of or in addition to a build number could also be using the git commit hash of what you’re building. Though I would only use that for non-stable releases.
For example, stable versions of Zig look like
0.12.1
and then there’s in-development releases like0.13.0-dev.351+64ef45eb0
. It uses semantic versioning where the “pre-release” isdev.351
, which includes an incrementing build number, and the “build metadata” is64ef45eb0
, the commit hash it was built from. The latter allows a user to quickly look up the exact commit easily and thus know exactly what they’re using.
