  • The guy writes a lot about UI design and I guess, bad/unexpected design amuses him. The hamburger menu uses an actual hamburger for the icon. In the winter, it will also snow on the webpage, with snowflakes covering up the content. And if you're on desktop, you should try the dark mode.

    Thanks, game. Rub it in, why don't you? 🥹

  • Apparently, there's the Rwenzori mountains with glaciers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwenzori_Mountains

    This map suggests that Mount Elgon in the east is also rather cold:

    But from what I can tell superficially, it doesn't have glaciers...

  • how do i limit kate's auto-complete to only words already in the document?

    Jump

  • Well, you certainly have more of a dictionary available than I do. For me, it looks like this:

    (Which, again, might actually be broken on my distro by excessive minimalism. No idea.)

    My About→Components section in Kate says this:

    Kate: 25.12.2KDE Frameworks: 6.23.0Qt: Using 6.10.1 and built against 6.10.1NixOS 26.05 (Yarara) (Wayland)Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64Kernel: linux 6.19.2

    You could try setting the "Default language" in the Spellcheck settings to something else and see, if it still completes the same words, just to try to find out whether these dictionaries are connected.

    But yeah, might be worth filing a bug report with the Kubuntu devs. At the very least, it would tell them this behavior may not be wanted by everyone, if it is intentional...

  • Hmm, that's strange. Don't think, it's supposed to work like that, but that does not either seem like behavior that would manifest from a simple bug.

    The words in your screenshot do seem to all be in the English dictionary, well, except for "trotz", but that's a German word, so might still be that it somehow takes a dictionary into account.There might be some dictionary package installed through apt, which might enable that.

    Can you check in the Kate settings under Editing→Spellcheck, if any languages show up there? On my system, I actually have none there. Perhaps, if I "fixed" that for me, I might end up with similar completions as you have there...

    Also, sidenote: To my knowledge, the T+ icon means that it is a word completion (normally based on words in the document), and not a keyword completion or similar.

  • 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. 😅

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

    Jump

  • 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:

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

    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. 🥴
