For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.

How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

This seem to stem from a misunderstanding. Lemmy and Mastodon have different goals. Users of each generally don’t want the other’s content generally showing up en masse.

If you want to see something from Mastodon, you can usually get it on Lemmy, and vice versa. I don’t often see Mastodon posts either, but that’s because I only follow Lemmy communities, so I only see them when someone on Mastodon tags a Lemmy community in their post. If you want to see more Mastodon content, see if you can follow some users or hashtags from Lemmy.

But that might not be supported; I haven’t tried. If you prefer Mastodon, I’m pretty sure that you can follow Lemmy communities from there.

In this episode Subcommander T'Pol finds something in the Vulcan database yet has to learn a lesson about themselves before they can complete the mission

I remember Mastodon was working on groups so I imagine interaction from Mastodon to Lemmy would improve. Bonfire is rolling out groups pretty soon it seems. I’ve been trying it for a while now and I access both microblogs and groups from Bonfire.

likewise, i’ve rarely if ever seen a post from lemmy on mastodon. these two platforms just don’t seem to interact much. the fediverse is already very small. fragmenting it even further by having multiple services that basically don’t talk to each other is not good

I think part of this is the initial desire to model Fediverse platforms after mainstream counterparts. So you have Instagram-but-federated, Twitter-but-federated, Reddit-but-federated, YouTube-but-federated, TikTok-but-federated. These platforms don’t really interact with each other directly, so the Fediverse ended up modeling that incompatibility, too.

That’s the area projects like Mbin and Bonfire seem to be better at.

I have always wanted to create a game and finally did. After almost 2 years of solo development, spending nights and weekends learning the godot game engine, the demo releases next week. Still got a ways to go but its an exiting milestone.

I’ve been working on this project on and off since I last shared an update (in March I think?), all done with the help of documentation, random forum threads and tutorials, without a line of code written by an LLM, just as the Pope intended. I’m very happy with how it looks now, although of course there’s still work to do. I’ve also worked on a lot of the game systems but there’s still a way to go before there’s any real gameplay to speak of.

Been struggling with this for too long before discovering this, made this video so you don’t have to.

Tested with Godot 4.8, but this feature has probably been around since 4.0.

Not every message the activitypub can send is suitable for every platform. Reddit style discussions just don’t map to Mastodon.

false. lots of content would fit on both mastodon on lemmy. example post below:

Gaming Night tonight at Augsburgstraße 3, Neues Teehaus, Berlin.

There will be Nintendo games (or Boardgames or whatever) and KüFa.

Everybody is Welcome to Join.

this can be posted on mastodon (from somebody who lives in berlin) or on the threadiverse in the /c/berlin community. it would fit both audiences equally well.

Hey all! I’ve been thinking about how to best unit-test my shader code, since TDD has been very helpful for me. But I’ve been able to find surprisingly little information. If possible, I’d love to hear from your experiences!

libghostty 1.0 is here! I started Ghostty ~5yrs ago to work towards this. Today, libghostty is in hundreds of projects used by tens of millions of people. 1.0 marks ABI stability, quality, and an invite for distros to begin packaging. https://mitchellh.com/writing/libghostty-1-0

Since starting the Ghostty project in 2022, the most common question I've been asked is "why?". Today, I'll answer this by showing the broad industry impact libghostty has already had.

On top of JetBrains and Neovim already mentioned (that alone being over 10 million users):
-KDE developers are experimenting with a Konsole replacement built on it.
- Vercel's Turborepo uses it to render task output in its TUI.
- devenv uses it to drive shells.
- Antithesis used it to fuzz TUI programs and found real bugs in btop and others.
-Ghostel brings it to Emacs.
- ghostty-web is the WASM build with an Xterm.js-compatible API.
- Commercial products like OrbStack embed it.
- And a whole wave of new terminals and "agentic" coding tools, such as herdr and cmux, have been built on it rather than writing yet another emulator.

There are community bindings for Rust, Go, JavaScript, Swift, Python, .NET, Elixir, Dart, Java, and more, and the awesome-libghostty list tracks well over a hundred projects.

More people today use a terminal powered by libghostty than use Ghostty the application, by a very large multiple. And libghostty is having a much larger impact than being "just" a terminal emulator.

I'm excited to see where people take it from here.
