  • [Open question] Why are so many rust opensource projects MIT licensed?

    Jump

  • MIT is the de-facto license that says "Do what you want with the software, just give me credit. Also, I don't owe you anything".

    It lets people do basically anything with it but protects you from:

    • People who would steal your project and claim they were the original creators (your name and copyright info is filled in the license which they have to include and mention)
    • Any sort of liability or warranty - people can't blame you for any damage done by your software

  • Anubis - Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests to stop AI crawlers

    Jump

  • Do you mean it works reliably well in letting users through, or in blocking AI?

    Both, check out this article talking about it: The Day Anubis Saved Our Websites From a DDoS Attack

    Looking at the statistics really shows how dire things have gotten with AI crawlers. The before and after is crazy. There are some other blog posts also mentioning they get maybe 1000x less requests per hour after deploying Anubis.

  • Anubis - Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests to stop AI crawlers

    Jump

  • Been seeing this more and more lately. It's a shame we need such a nuclear solution, but it works reliably well. It takes a second or two to be redirected to the site you're visiting.

  • Asahi Lina: For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

    Jump

  • The project is for making unofficial drivers for Apple's chips, which very few people are trying to do. Without Asahi, you can't run Linux on Macbooks.

  • Lemmy Needs to Fix Its Community Separation Problem

    Jump

  • I haven't checked since making this post but when the idea was floating around the devs said they preferred multi-communities (proposal 2). That's still on the Lemmy roadmap but isn't here yet.

    That said, Piefed apparently implemented something similar to proposal 3 so maybe the devs can change their mind and copy them instead.

    Jump

  • Oh hey, it's been a while since I've written this. Thanks for sharing it again. When I posted it last year to the fediverse community, people were not ready for it.

  • My Thoughts on the Zen Browser

    Jump

  • It doesn't do anything by default, you have to go to settings > zen mods > click the settings icon next to the mod name.

    If you set the options and nothing happened then I'm not sure, it worked for me instantly when toggling stuff off.

  • My Thoughts on the Zen Browser

    Jump

  • I've started using more Zen Mods recently too, the most important one I would say is Zen Context Menu - which lets you de-clutter the options when you right click anything. There are way too many options being shown when you right clicked the sidebar, but it's a lot nicer to use now.

  • What do you use for notes?

    Jump

  • I use Joplin. It's fairly simple and very comparable to Evernote if you've ever used that, but it's perfect for my needs.

    I used LogSeq before, it's very similar to Obsidian, the big difference being that it's open source. It's got a ton of features and the built-in whiteboard is actually really good, but I found it a bit overkill for my simple note taking.

    • Logseq also makes each line start with a bulleted list which quickly made me go insane

  • BadWebsiteBlocklist: A blocklist I made that removes spam & misleading websites from search results

    Jump

  • I think both of them would have a way to filter domains if you're self-hosting. The blocklist uses simple regex so you can probably copy-paste the blocklist straight into your filters.

    Publish Your Godot Engine Game to Flathub

    Jump

  • I've been meaning to post some of my stuff to Flatpak when Godot 4.4 releases but never bothered to look into it. This is perfect, thanks for sharing!

  • I wrote in-depth reviews for every game in UFO 50!

    Jump

  • You can backflip in mid-air which is useful to go a little higher or cancel the direction you're moving in. I don't remember the exact control for it, but I think it was double tapping after jumping.

  • I wrote in-depth reviews for every game in UFO 50!

    Jump

  • Absolutely, it's a great game.

  • I wrote in-depth reviews for every game in UFO 50!

    Jump

  • The fun part of this game is hearing such differing opinions, I had someone explain that Block Koala was their favorite. I personally didn't gel with Planet Zoldath, it's conceptually neat but I found it very tedious. Glad you enjoy it though!

  • Feature requests for a lemmy moderation bot

    Jump

  • Why? Automod is just a tool, the issues people have with it is how overzealous the mods using it are. If you're moderating a community with 10,000+ people you can't expect to filter and manage everything yourself, so a bot scheduling posts and filtering potential spam/low effort content is necessary.

  • Whatever 'Clean Code' you write now, it'll be shit eventually and in need of a complete rewrite

    Jump

  • inexperienced big brain developer see nested loop and often say "O(n^2)? Not on my watch!"

    This hits too close to home.

  • Blogging in the AI era

    Jump

  • There are two good options: Host your own blog yourself, or join a blogging platform that isn't corporate. I personally use BearBlog but I've heard good things about Write.as as well. These two have free blogging options and don't sell your data. If you want to host it yourself (which is safer), check out Hugo.

    Ultimately, bots scrape the entire internet and there's no guarantee they will honor robots.txt of a particular website (which tells bots what they are and aren't allowed to do). If it's on the internet, people can scrape your content and there isn't much you can do about it. That shouldn't stop you from writing or blogging, just don't post very personal data.

    Not the most exciting but hey, someone has to do it.

  • CleanDoom - The Modern Doom Mod Launcher

    Jump

  • A mod launcher is a program that lets you set up and configure mods for a game, then launch the game with everything set up for you. They exist because configuring everything yourself can be a real pain.
