@valencianet_de_soria no, en absolut.

@paahtimogames I played the demo and it is really fun.
One issue: the mouse over for the rightmost option when choosing an ability is partially drawn off screen so you can't read everything. maybe offset that a little bit?
Also: clicking through the introductory text after a respawn gets a little tedious after some time...
@lain Okay I looked up the video, it really is "how can I make a low effort comfort meal into the most complex thing ever"
@sanek yeah, there's a bunch of yt videos like that, where it's like... yeah, this probably alright, but why is it so complicated?
I think I, formerly the least weaboo person on this whole social network, will go ahead and blast right past all anime-avatar accounts on here by adopting Japan's 30 hour clock notation for future posting where applicable.
It's just so handy!
Also: email is still one of the most important services out there, no matter how often its death has been predicted and no matter how often techbros tell me that it cannot be saved and that self hosting email is futile and I should just give in and move my email to Microsoft or Google. I am now officially a grumpy old man, yelling at clouds while keeping his postfix and dovecot up and running ;)
@jwildeboer
That's great!
And I wish, more people would realize that there are many more things between doing it all yourself and selling your soul to GAFAM.
For the equivalent of two hours minimum wage you can have people host the emails for you and your family professionally for a whole year without feeding all your private communications to marketing and AI models.

Black people: The fediverse has a racism problem.
Women: so much mansplaining
White cis men: It's so great here! Everyone is so nice!
Black people: There would be more Black Peoole here if the fediverse worked towards curbing the racism.
White cis men: I don't understand why the fediverse isn't bigger. We're perfect.
Women: The reply guys are exhausting.
White cis men: It's just so cozy here, you know?

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
(Almost) ready to turn my beloved MacBook Air 2013 - which is gathering dust on a shelf - into a #Linux laptop.
Only problem: multiple people might have swayed me to pick Arch Linux as the distro. #ArchLinux!!! I know NOTHING but from all the Linux memes I've seen over the years, I've always been intimidated by it.
Debating whether to go with it or #Mint or #Ubuntu. Thoughts?
Edit / update: it's now a toss-up between Mint and Fedora. I may try Arch on my Raspi4

trouble with both the Microsoft and FAA fuckups is that both are fully explicable by normal idiot management decision making around IT
so before we can state in an article/episode that either was caused more or less directly by the AI, and not standard pre-AI incompetence, we need more direct evidence
it's most frustrating
@davidgerard Hanlons Razor for me. I can absolutely see someone doing an update on a Friday that took it down. Whether they couldn’t be arsed to check properly or were pushed to do it is just extra detail.
We are now 364 Microsoft outages away from countries and companies recognising that running their own email services is the way the system was meant to be. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
@jwildeboer also though, from what I've heard from people who try to host their own email, the big companies block anything that isn't their own (or their big friends) so again, its not the federated, free, open protocol it once was.
@copsewood great points! I'm used to Debian because it powers my YunoHost instances... I had not considered it as a candidate, but I might now...
@_elena @copsewood Agree with this advice. My personal vote is for #Ubuntu or #Debian. Keeping within the same ecosystem makes it easier to work through things and find documentation later.

Die Bildsprache und die Formulierung legen ja sehr deutlich nah, dass hier vor allen Muslimen (muslimisch gelesen Menschen) gewarnt wird.
Es geht ja explit darum. Und eben gerade nicht um Warnungen allgemein vor Extremisten. Das Bild hätte ja auch so 1zu1 eins ein Motiv der AfD sein können.
@stephie_hamburg @ckd Öh, wo genau wird hier vor allen Muslimen gewarnt? Sowohl bei der Formulierung als auch bei dem Bild ist das nicht, was ich darin sehe.
Was ich in dem Bild sehe, ist eine Anspielung auf die Grauen Wölfe, ohne sie explizit zu benennen. Was aber auch ein bisschen weird und unpassend ist, weil die Grauen Wölfe ja eher rechtsextremistisch-rassistisch als islamistisch sind.

Software quality would improve greatly if developers were forced to work on a device with a 10 year old CPU, 25G of storage, and 2GB of ram. The amount of resources necessary to do the simplest of operations is just bonkers. Not everyone has infinite disc space, and a never ending supply of RAM.

Listen, if you are a software engineer being brought back to a company or organization you were laid off from to fix their AI vibe coded mess, you have to do me a favor: please, charge them so much. Just so, so much. The only way they'll learn anything is if you make their shareholders cry.
@AbandonedAmerica The management class does not perceive bugs in their software. That's dev shit.

Today, F-Droid 2.0 is finally rolling out to existing users as a recommended upgrade as well. While I considered it ready a long time ago, everyone else in the @fdroidorg team had to be convinced of that as well. #fdroid
@grote @fdroidorg it's a very nice app, thanks (:
I miss the days when all of this was villages and the worst thing you would hear of is an indiscretion with the farmer and you'd settle it with a bushel of orchard fruit
and the plague, oh wait.
Sometimes I have a student who has to work much harder than their peers just to keep up with the mathematics. It could be that they have less experience with math, it could be that math is difficult for them, but it can be discouraging to work as hard or harder than everyone else and just get a C-
It can make you feel really small and not very smart. Even if objectively you know that isn't really true.
For those who have been that student what helped you to keep going?
I would add that "keep going" isn't always the right answer. But, if it is, how do you hang on through the (seemingly) unrewarding part of learning?
Set your own bars for success? Know that getting a C- when you started from behind is a big deal and harder than just getting As with little effort since everything has been just how you needed it for years?
I think sometimes when students can work through this stage they do get to the other side. It gets easier.
And yet. It's hard.
