You said you support the trans agenda and are an ally, but me asking you to not describe cis people as normal makes makes me a harassing Karen. Cool.

Fascinating! Because this notation is already used by another tool (and possibly more), it might not be as silly as it sounds. From the headline it sounds like some really weird API was added to something.

Happy to see this sort of optimism in the wake of AI causing people's programs to get bad reviews because the AI thinks they can do things they can't.

Thanks for the share. Maybe I'm looking too far into it, or just in one of those moods, but this really is oddly inspirational to me.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, it would be nice for things like rough, rouge, and rogue to look more different than they do.

I'm not even convinced it's simplified. It's got ~40 letters in it they said.

But I'm also not an educator, so may be missing some points.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

No. I like to stop it right as it hits 0 on the first beep if people are around, but if I'm by myself I wait for it to stop beeping.

Don't call yourself an ally if you call cis people "non trans normal people" while knowing and refusing to use the term cis. You getting so defensive about this really illustrates to me that your allyship stops when it's inconvenient. This all began because I saw you use some very strange phrasing so I just wanted to let you know that, hey, instead of the harmful mouthful that is "non trans normal person" you can just say cis. Lo and behold, you know the term. Okay, sure, fine, but just calling it "made up"? Never once asked you to say cis. Was just telling you that it's a word that exists. It never was a problem in my eyes that you didn't say cis, it was a problem that you said normal.

Let me make myself clear one last time. I don't care if you don't say cis. I'd like you to, I think you should, but it's not anywhere close to the same as saying cis is normal and trans isn't.

Uh, yeah, that's the point of all regulations. To make you not pick bad things.

Well it certainly contributes to othering the people you don't view as "normal". Don't use cis, whatever, but paired with you saying you specifically know cis is a term and you specifically choose not to use it, calling cis people normal certainly sounds transphobic. You're following the conservative's playbook. Don't say cis people are the "normal" ones.

America has a majority of white people living there. Could you imagine if people started calling white people "normal"? The words you choose have consequences.

Again, I can't make this clear enough, this isn't some bullshit purity test. If you don't wanna use the term cis to describe yourself, so be it, but don't use normal. Especially when you're already willing to use non-trans. Solidarity isn't othering the persecuted.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lmao, but they specifically said they knew the term exists and refuse to use it and instead not only call themselves "non-trans" but also "normal". This wasn't someone just not knowing the word.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Lol. I think there is one for Republican and Democrat though. Which is funny. Or maybe it's like conservative or something. I don't know. There are so many TLDs now, it's crazy.

 

I noticed a repository's .gitattributes entry for *.csv used text eol=crlf so I investigated and found this.

 

Ages upon ages ago I spilled something on this keyboard. I don't really remember the details. The control key is sticky. It takes about twice as much force to push down and it really annoys me. I suppose I thought over the years it would get better, but it seems like it has gotten worse. How do I clean it or fix it? This keyboard does not have removable switches. The switch is MX Brown.

 

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

Update 2: Alright, if I scroll to the photos instead of selecting "files" then go to "all albums" I see Google Photos. Not sure what changed to make it like this but at least now I know.

 

Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?

Thanks!

 

I just never thought I'd hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).

Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.

Wasn't really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There's always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it's not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn't have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

 

There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.

I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.

 
:: Remove make dependencies after install? [y/N] y

If I didn't remove make dependencies, would yay/pacman be smart enough to know the thing I am installing does not actually depend on them? It's a very nice feature of package managers that they track dependencies and can do things like remove "dangling" dependencies and I don't want to mess that up with some random dependencies needed only for a build. But I also don't want to install something every time I need to build lol.

So does yay and/or pacman know that the things I am installing don't actually depend on the make dependencies?


Solution: Keeping the make dependencies after install will not fool pacman and/or yay into thinking the make dependencies are "real" dependencies of whatever you're building from AUR. They both correctly recognize them as orphans (unless of course something else actually depends on them). So feel free to not remove them during install without worrying about dependency graphs getting tarnished; you'll be able to easily remove them later if you'd like.

 

I am trying to make a 2024 version of my paladin. I can pick Oath of Devotion because it is free. I can pick the Xanathar's options and Oathebreaker because they are from 2014 content I own, but I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they're in 2024 content I don't own. I can't use the Oath of the Ancients.

 

I'm interested in setting up something to act as a file server. Think of it as "the cloud" but local. I've never built (or bought) something specifically for this, so it's a big foreign to me.

I think really all I would want is something that can store a lot of TB of data easily. It doesn't need to be fast. It doesn't need to be able to stream media anywhere. It really only needs to be able to act as an SFTP server, maybe run sync thing (new to that), and maybe act as a NAS. My gut feeling is something like 10+ TB might be a good amount to start. Something that won't fill up quick and that I can put big things in (like a full system image of another computer) without concern.

What would be a good way to go about this? Building a computer like normal but getting very cheap stuff? Getting something pre built or used (like surplus office stuff)? I'm just not really sure where to begin.

 

When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.

 

If I turn my controller on, it won't connect. But if it's on when I turn my computer on (or restart/wake from sleep), it connects just fine. I am using the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows". It's possible it's actually connected but not recognized by Steam or any games, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot that directly. The Arch wiki (linked) doesn't say anything about this specifically.

I am on CachyOS.

Any ideas? <3

Update: This somehow fixed itself. I don't think I even upgraded or anything since it was a problem.
