  • TIL there's a setting in Lemmy that hides down votes.

    Jump

  • I don't find downvotes useful for that. If no one tells me why they disagree, a negative number isn't going to tell me that either. Not to mention that the most popular answer is often not equivalent to the correct answer.

    But I also have the display of downvotes disabled, because I want to judge other comments without much bias.I always hated the snowballing of downvotes. As soon as you're at like -2, people will stop giving you the benefit of the doubt and just hit downvote some more, or even worse: Start harassing you, because you've said a thing that others disagreed with.Admittedly, this was more of a problem on Reddit, haven't seen that too much on Lemmy yet, but I don't find seeing the downvotes particularly useful to begin with, so I'd rather not have the bias myself.

  • If You’re Afraid of Vegan Meat, You’re Being Played

    Jump

  • Oh man, yeah, I had semi thought about doing that when I moved out, bought actual cheese once afterwards, and then realized the shops had vegan alternatives for pretty much everything I wanted. Like, I barely had to try.[^1]

    [^1]: Your mileage may vary. 🥴

  • Movim: Building a Decentralized Social Network on XMPP

    Jump

  • Oh man, seeing folks suggest it as a Discord alternative always had me uninterested, because I don't even use Discord and it just seemed like yet-another-standard.Now I'm reading this really technical title for a talk which mentions XMPP and I'm instantly sold.

    Well, to be honest, "Movim" also sounded like a VC-funded startup. Looks like it's a bus-factor-of-1 open-source project instead, which I have significantly more trust in.

  • Ah, yes! You're doing a great job there. Thank you for the transparency.

    Jump

  • This comment is talking about the deluge of log messages you may or may not see (depending on the distro) while booting the system.

    Just thought I'd add that, since the meme doesn't actually mention booting. Not sure, where you got that from. 😅

  • Ah yeah, I believe, yellow lentils are also often split/dehulled, which gives them the same properties.

    I guess, there's almost certainly going to be some shops that sell red lentils with hull, so to be more precise, you want red lentils that look frizzy and not entirely round, like the red lentils in this picture:

    Jump

  • Lentils? 😅

    If you get red lentils, they don't need pre-soaking for making them less farty, and they cook much quicker, too.

  • Plant-based diets do not need processed foods at all. Many people I know eat diets built around legumes, grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds — about as basic and unindustrial as food gets. These foods are often the healthiest, most sustainable, and least expensive options available.

    Even when staples like tempeh, tofu, fortified plant milks, or the occasional meat or cheese alternative are included, highly processed plant-based products typically make up only a small fraction of overall intake.

    Yeah, I feel like from the outside, it is easy to get the impression that vegan diets include lots of processed foods, because:

    1. Lentils don't have a marketing budget.
    2. Humans tend to overestimate the importance of foods that they regularly consume, so meat eaters are likely to believe that you need lab-grown meat or some ultra-processed meat replica.

  • Live Dangerously

    Jump

  • Yeah, but he has stated that he really doesn't have an opinion. He just happened to install Fedora on the family PC a long time ago and now he neither wants to deal with two separate distros, nor switch the whole household over.

  • Is it possible to develop Firefox browser extensions without writing JavaScript / TypeScript?

    Jump

  • Well, you could presumably at least use web-sys for interacting with the DOM and wasm-bindgen in general for generating the boilerplate.

    But yeah, there might not be a pre-made library for interacting with the extension API, so might need to write your own JS←→WASM bindings.

  • Training goals

    Jump

  • I was gonna object that it's a vegan diet, because they're presumably not gonna do eggs or milk, but apparently not strictly vegetarian either:

    Mountain gorillas spend about a quarter of their day eating, mainly plants. Around 85% of their diet is made up of leaves, shoots and stems, but gorillas can also eat larvae, snails, ants, and even roots, barks and rotting wood (a good source of sodium/salt).

  • Hab gestern prototypisch eine API hingezimmert, damit die Studentin das weitertreiben kann, wo mit dem aktuellen Stand quasi eine API-Anfrage reinkommt, dann wird eine Bibliothek aufgerufen, die erstmal selbst eine HTTP-Anfrage macht, um Quellcode herunterzuladen, diesen dann zu kompilieren, um dann aus dem Kompilat Meta-Information auszulesen.

    Achso, und natürlich macht die API das N mal, weil es N Elemente gibt, deren Meta-Informationen dabei aufgelistet werden sollen.

    Das hat sich auch richtig falsch angefühlt, weil man natürlich immer die Befürchtung hat, dass das auf ewig so bleibt, und dann sowas rauskommt, wie bei dir. 🥴

  • New beta Stackoverflow frontend. Hot or Not?

  • Damn, did they run out of color ink?

  • I also really hate that since AI slop has turned search engines useless, you virtually cannot find anything, even if you remember the exact words of the title.

  • It's literally science

    Jump

  • Yeah, extremely cheesy way of putting it: The best work position is the next one.

    I.e. don't stay in one position for a long time, but rather switch it up regularly.

  • Making WebAssembly a first-class language on the Web – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog

    Jump

  • I'm guessing, they mean JavaScript and WebAssembly in general...

  • Entry of the Gladiators!

    Jump

  • Oh man, this is one of the songs that lots of amateur bands have in their repertoire now, because of the clown association, even though it's actually quite a difficult piece.So, I thought, maybe a recording on YouTube with checks notes 18 million views would be better. And let's just say this: Hahaha no.

  • KDE Connect of the Future

    Jump

  • I mean, yeah, this shouldn't be seen as an announcement or whatever, but rather as a thing to discuss and potentially get involved in. KDE is a community project after all.

  • I mean, I do like the idea, but syncing such a database file is by far the smallest challenge about this (and could be easily achieved today with e.g. Syncthing or Rsync).

    The far harder part is getting RSS readers to support the same file format. There is actually a small project (by basically a singular guy), which tries to accomplish this: https://github.com/39aldo39/DecSyncThe desktop RSS reader it supports is GTK, though.

    Somewhat of a technologically simpler solution might be to self-host FreshRSS.Unfortunately, it is of course less simple to actually use, unless you have a home server and some sysadmin skills...

  • Appreciation Post for KATE

    Jump

  • Well, I have it bound to Super+X, but you could do any of those. I just create a .desktop file for it and then it can be used like a normal application. And well, it is intentionally built so you don't have to pass command-line flags or see the command output for creating the file.

    So, this is the program I use: https://codeberg.org/trem/jotIt has basically three larger features, which is adding a file, removing empty files (because you sometimes might end up creating a file, but not using it) and then searching through empty files.Honestly, none of these are particularly difficult to throw together in a Bash script yourself, if you don't feel like using a random program off the internet.

    Basically, for adding a file, this is a crappy version of it:

     bash
        
data_dir="$HOME/.local/share/notes"
mkdir -p $data_dir
date=$(date +%s)
file_name="$data_dir/${date}.md"
touch $file_name
xdg-open $file_name

    And for searching through the created files, grep -iR -C2 $data_dir is virtually just as good, too. 🫠
