I mean, the bulk of the work on this happens for the fun of it. The underlying game engine, Luanti, has a really lovely community. Some folks love creating mods/content, others love playing that content.

If you really want a hard reason, it’s that Microsoft bought Minecraft and has forced changes, such as a Microsoft account being a requirement now.
Microsoft has a long history of being extremely hostile to the open-source / libre software community, so after the news broke the community definitely bundled together even moreso to create our own Minecraft, with blackjack and hookers screwdrivers and mese.

You don’t want to use exceptions in normal control flow, because they’re extremely slow. Every time you throw an exception, it has to collect a stacktrace, which is hundreds, if not thousands, of calculations, compared to a handful of calculations for returning a boolean or an enum variant.

I stopped using Reddit a few years before the whole stupidity, because the culture was fucking with my head.

Then I did the Mastodons for two years or so, with Lemmy eventually entering the mix. And then as Lemmy got more users and content, it took over as my preferred platform.

Is there an advantage to such an electronic door opener? If they have to include a manual release anyways, it really doesn’t seem like they’d save space.

I guess, there might be novelty to just pressing a button, but not burning alive is also quite a cool feature.

Yeah, that’s the joke. It’s only mansplaining when it’s condescending, but she’s turning it on its head by just not taking those men serious at all.

Codeberg also does have Pages.

Still uses Git, but yeah.

A few years ago, I worked in a warehouse and one of my coworkers wanted to call for a Dennis across the warehouse. She’s not a native speaker, so she didn’t know which syllable to emphasize, so she shouted “DENNIIIIIS”, which ended up sounding like “Denise”.

That is all. 🙃

Yeah, the formulation is a bit off here. With opt-out, you have no way to measure consent, because you can’t discern between people who actually consent and those who just haven’t opted out, for lack of knowledge or other reasons.

These societies have simply weighed up the two options and decided that saving lives is more important than leaving personal freedom intact at all costs.

I was going to make a point on how it’s cool that it’s open-source, and if you’re looking for a certain feature-set, then this might be the most open you can find, but that it still doesn’t sit well with me, that it’s being developed by a corporation.

But then the demo made this point much more succinctly:

What I don’t like about the genre, is that I’m bad at it. 🙃

More seriously, I do find it kind of frustrating at times. Restarting ten times in a roguelike, no problem, because it’s always a new challenge.
But if I miss the same jump ten times, or have to retry the same platforming passage ten times, you’ll see me getting impatient, which means I’ll fail the next ten attempts, too…

Hmm, did you try this? https://blog.rubenwardy.com/2022/12/02/minetest-steam-deck/#controls

Codeberg recently held a translation event where projects could sign up, if they wanted help. You can still look at their resources here, or I guess, you can just pick out a project and start translating over here: https://translate.codeberg.org/

Depending on your file manager, you may be able to hold Shift while triggering the delete to get a hard delete.

Shift+Del is pretty much standardized as the keyboard shortcut. And here on KDE, I can hold Shift while clicking the “Move to Trash” menu entry, too (well, it actually replaces the menu entry with one for permanent deletion, but that’s effectively the same).

This is purely personal experience, but I’ve found that the usually warm beverage that caffeine comes in + the increased heart rate helps to warm up my muscles, which makes the muscles relax more easily.

I mean, yeah, this is about people outside the industry, those who invested money.

To my knowledge, LLMs still don’t pay for themselves. When the hype dies down and investors aren’t willing to provide money anymore, then prices for LLMs will become prohibitive for many current use-cases. That will also shrink the industry.

What that means in effect, we’ll still have to see, but AGI was one path that investors hoped for to get towards profitability, so it doesn’t aid the hype when they’re slowly learning about reality.

I, unfortunately, have to use GitHub at $DAYJOB and this is me. I navigate most of the webpage via the URL bar now.

Basically, let’s say I’m working on a repo github.com/tomato/sauce/ and want to navigate to the Releases page.

Via the webpage:

1. Type github.com into the URL bar.
2. Don’t find tomato/sauce/ in the list of recent repos, even though it’s the only repo I work on.
3. Click on some other repo that’s at least in the tomato/ org.
4. Navigate up to the tomato/ org.
5. Find the sauce/ repo in the list.
6. Traverse half the fucking screen to hit the “Releases” heading in the middle of the About-section.

Via the Firefox URL bar:

1. Type gi→t→s→r→.
2. Hit Enter.

I admit, it’s hard to compete with the latter, but I wouldn’t know how to navigate that way, if the former wasn’t so terrible.

I mean, when you hold down the Alt key, it’s convention that GUI toolkits underline a letter in the text of UI elements, and when you then press Alt + that letter, it’ll activate that UI element.
That way, you can navigate most apps in a keyboard-driven fashion, although it is certainly not the most comfortable to use…

That’s pretty much the opposite of mansplaining.
Mansplaining is when you’re talking condescendingly to someone, while mistakenly assuming you have superior knowledge.

If that someone has asked you “Why?”, or any question for that matter, then you’d need to start explaining something completely unrelated, in order to mansplain.

It’s this one: https://codeberg.org/trem/jot/

The post was ultimately just an ad for an Indian tech company. And yeah, looked very ChatGPT, so not worth reading in my opinion.
