  • About 500,000 trees cut down at site of Tesla gigafactory near Berlin

    Jump

  • I remember when climate activists were storming this factory and Lemmy users berated me for calling out the fact that Tesla factories and electric cars in general are a fucking disaster for the environment. It's pathetic how easily people are convinced that 10 tonnes of e-waste is the solution to the toxic sludge slowly drowning us all

  • Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs

    Jump

  • This is a regular occurrence and honestly we need to stop recommending dual boot. Use separate drives if you need to, but sharing the same drive is destined to brick something

  • A Hamas leader says they will give up governing Gaza, but won’t lay down arms

    Jump

  • They probably didn't, but it's okay because they quickly googled a few terms and linked their Wikipedia articles to seem smart.

  • A Hamas leader says they will give up governing Gaza, but won’t lay down arms

    Jump

  • Because the idea that America is a "peacemaker" and that Hamas is an ontologically evil party on par with Israel is an easy way out of having to recognise that the US government is actually a barrier to peace around the world.

  • A Hamas leader says they will give up governing Gaza, but won’t lay down arms

    Jump

  • Actual brainworm comment. Maybe take a look at the proposals in the Camp David/Oslo accords and consider why Israel was so excited to sign a "peace deal" which have them 80% of the land, 100% of the military control, and total domination of political and economic affairs over Palestine.

  • PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities

    Jump

  • As I said, feel free to log into Reddit dot com if your goal is to experience the internet fed to you by the US state department. Spamming muh tiannamen or muh russia when you're clearly fine with SOME war crime denialism is the sign of a mind that clearly isn't ready to graduate from the funko pop subreddit.

  • GNOME Foundation Announces Transition of Executive Director | Holly Million stepping down after 10 months

    Jump

  • for sure, I thought the hire was weird in the first place. Did just mean that it doesn't look like GNOME fired her lol.

    She did do some good stuff but GNOME really did get what they asked for

  • Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects?

    Jump

  • Rarely, but I've contributed to a couple that I use.

    Also, just a note that writing big reports is a valid contribution! It can really help both the regular maintainers finding and fixing bugs, but also gives new devs more potential work to pick up for first contributions.

  • OpenLoco: Modern, open source version of the classic transport simulation game

    Jump

  • In theory they (or someone else) could just bundle an open source copy of the assets no different to having a different texture pack in a game.

  • Is NixOS at the advent of an implosion? | Community inquiry on recent drama

    Jump

  • There's some decent forks currently so I wouldn't worry about the technology, but yeah the organisation is probably going to implode and reorg soon

  • Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex

    Jump

  • Yeah I didn't realise they were rar formats from how they show up on disk - Usually people name.their.torrents.like.this so it fucks up typical file name conventions.

    I'll keep that in mind too, thanks! Not using qbitmanage yet though I'll have to look into that 👀

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative

    Jump

  • Mozilla has loads of projects, not just the browser. I doubt more than a 30 work exclusively on the engine nowadays.

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative

    Jump

  • Andreas Kling, the founder and lead dev, has a massive love for Twinings tea and spent a few Dev logs working on improving their website with the end goal being ordering his tea from them :)

  • Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex

    Jump

  • EDIT: There's a fix. https://unpackerr.zip Automatically unzips these rar containers into coherent files for importing via sonarr/radarr. I suppose you can do this manually with tar if you're brave.

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative

    Jump

  • It would be nice if people read the post and the project before randomly making assumptions such as implying the project started from scratch yesterday or its run by some amateurs, this is a 4 year old project! It's founded by a former KHTML/Webkit developer for Apple!

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative

    Jump

  • Sure, but an individual website may use only a few of those standards. Ladybird devs will pick a website they like to use - Reddit, Twitter, Twinings tea, etc. and improve adherence to X or Y standards to make that one website look better. In turn, thousands of websites suddenly work perfectly, and many others work better than before.

    Ladybird is largely conformant to the majority of HTML standards now. It's about the edge cases (and where standards aren't followed by websites) and performance. This isn't a new project.

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative

    Jump

  • Ladybird was born from SerenityOS, which is a hobbyist unix-like (or POSIX compliant?) OS that simply aimed to do things "from the ground up". It just happened that they needed to make a browser, and the response was to make one from scratch.

    From there it seemed to have brought a lot of attention organically to the point where it can stand on its own, but originally it was never intended to be a "third browser engine" from its inception.

  • MacBook Air owner?

    Jump

  • I've seen some impressive traction on newer videos putting Linux on (intel) Apple devices for example. Purely anecdotal but regularly hitting 100k+ views on Linux videos is something that I've only seen in the last year or so and moreso on videos documenting "hardware restoration".
