  • Ah yeah, that was dumb, I should've specified that you can do that, if you're looking at the post in the Lemmy web-UI.

    The button would take you to the webpage of the original post, so before it got federated. Images often load when I do that, because my instance has an image proxy that's sometimes at fault for loading errors. If I'm interpreting your screenshot correctly, slrpnk.net has an image proxy, too.

    Maybe your app has a different button to open the original post, or a button to open the Lemmy webpage for the post in your browser and then you can click the rainbow pentagon there...

  • It's Starship with the Gruvbox Rainbow preset (with customization to fit my needs): https://starship.rs/presets/gruvbox-rainbow

    Since you're already using a Nerd font, this shouldn't be too difficult for you to set up, if you want it.

  • This same sentence could probably be said by someone working on string theory...

  • we did a little bit of branch fuckery

  • A rebase rewrites the history of your branch, so that it's as if you just branched off and then coded all your changes in one sitting.

    It will go through each of your commits and try to apply them one after another. If something changed on the base branch that conflicts with your changes, it will prompt you to adjust your commit. You adjust it so that looks as if you just coded it on top of the base branch.

    When you have lots of commits on your branch, this can mean that while you're rebasing, you have to then also change your following commits which happened to touch the same lines as a previous commit. This can mean additional, stupid work.

    As such, a workflow using rebases ("trunk-based workflow") works best, if you can rebase often and merge back early. You won't get merge conflicts when merging back, nor merge commits, because you resolved these while rebasing.

    In particular in smaller teams where you have tight-knit communication, this workflow is absolutely stellar. It completely bypasses so many pain points that folks have with Git.Merge conflicts are significantly reduced when you merge often and a trunk-based workflow removes the ceremony that typically prevents teams from doing just that.

  • I have not yet jumped into theming everything with Gruvbox yet, but man, I do default towards it hard. Recently I needed to pick a theme for Newsboat (terminal RSS reader), because its default theme wasn't legible with a light terminal background, so I randomly select their universal-color theme to check out first and it hits me with this beauty:

    (Bonus gruvboxy shell prompt in terminal below. 🙃)

    I didn't even look at the other themes anymore, to the point where I realized only just now that they actually have a dedicated gruvbox theme. Unfortunately, it actually looks less gruvboxy...

  • Typically, touchpad gestures (particularly multi-touch gestures) will work better on Wayland, because it has libinput.

  • Eine Kollegin hat das letztens auch gemacht und gemeint, dass sie nicht damit gerechnet hat, dass das so teuer wird, weil dann für diverse Dokumente und Kärtchen eine Bearbeitungsgebühr fällig wird, um die neu auszustellen. Hoffe das ist bei dir kein Problem. 🫠

  • In a less extreme sense, I find there's also an inverse relationship between skill and marketing effort, because:

    • Marketing activities take time away from honing your skills. Even if you "just" (in very fucking big air quotes) build something useful that you release as open-source, you'll still spend time answering user questions, reviewing PRs, writing documentation, ensuring backward compatibility etc..These are also useful skills, but they still prevent you from exercising your coding skills.
    • The most popular platforms for marketing yourself are also the most rapey platforms. People with high technical skill will be aware of this. The most privileged of them may not need to care.But those that worked their asses off, because they had to start from an unprivileged position, those need to care. Because they will be disadvantaged and harassed, when people see that they're from a minority or women.You miss out on those with the highest work drive. You miss out on skills that people build when they need to protect their privacy. And you miss out on a culturally rich workforce and get a fragile monoculture instead.

  • GitHub is down

  • Yeah, it didn't have CI runners or complex project management features. Pushing code can be done later. Looking at open-source issues can be done later.

  • I'm neither Scottish nor ultra-deeply embedded into the trans community, so I doubt I would've heard of politician statements or the like. But yeah, I do think I would've heard of it, if the ruling got repealed, and I did not hear of that, unfortunately.

    I guess, the main aftermath is that it got reported pretty much globally, because it is clever and there are boobs involved, so even clickbait newspapers can print that. Well, and hopefully it got people talking and reevaluating their preconceptions.

  • Well, I guess, then don't show it to them, but to all the bystanders that haven't thought about this issue enough and therefore let the bullies do whatever they want. We need them on the side of reason to prevent the bullies from hijacking democracies.

  • the education system failed them, teaching in a way that’s not enjoyable.

    Yeah, pretty much. I had to learn a ton of math, where I never got explained what it could be used for. And when it can be applied in an obvious way, namely physics, most of the complexity lays in memorizing a ton of one-letter-abbreviations and formulas, which feels pointless, too.

    I'm a programmer now. That was always easy to me, because the best way to learn that is by gradually solving harder puzzles. You don't just sit in a classroom and get told all the solutions to all the puzzles...

  • Man, I looked at this too long, wondering who "9$$" is supposed to be and what a weirdo meme this is. Then I looked at the community this comes from and saw that it really is a weirdo meme.

  • A while ago, I saw a documentary where they had a big-ass fan on an apple orchard, which they would turn on early in the morning.

    The problem is that when it cools down in the night, it can dip below freezing temperatures, which would damage the blossoms, if it stays that low for too long. And the cold air gets trapped between the apple trees, so just creating some artificial wind is apparently a pretty good solution to untrap it and therefore allow things to warm back up as soon as the sun hits.

    Just found it interesting that this is a common enough problem, without requiring more drastic solutions like actual heating, so that they came up with this idea.

    The documentary is in German, but you can see it at 5:00 here: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/Y3JpZDovL3dkci5kZS9CZWl0cmFnLXNvcGhvcmEtNzJhZTQ5NTctNDkxOS00YTRkLTk0ZTItMGU0YWQwYzFkODE1

  • New Jetbrains Update Dropped

    Jump

  • Ah, I guess that makes sense. Kate automatically detects available LSP server executables but then prompts you before starting them for the first time, in case you did not install that and it's malware, or I guess, in case you just placed a script there which happened to be called the same, but would be very bad to run.

    Neovim could theoretically do that, too, but then you need a way to block executables, so that it stops prompting you every time, which you'd probably want in a separate config file.So, it's definitely a simpler solution and perhaps moreso what one would expect from a TUI editor, for you to just list the ones to run in the config file.
