Just in case you haven't played it, the first SUPERHOT is, IMO, quite a bit better than the second, so I'll toss that in there.

As a wilder card, I'll suggest the Batman Arkham games. I think Arkham City is probably the most well-regarded of them.

 

Nothing pressing in terms of questions or concerns, but I was just wondering how things are at Fedecan and with the instance(s)? It feels like it's been a hot minute since the last update (big or small), so I thought I'd show my interest in knowing how things are going.

Saw these guys back around, ~2010 opening for Psycroptic IIRC. Absolute madness. This and their final album are great.

I recognize that it's a workaround for a problem foisted on us by idiots and we shouldn't have to deal with it, but I like the absurd notion of a "Spam folder" of websites

Yes and no. The truth of the matter is supply-chain attacks in any repository are almost impossible to fully mitigate. The attack you linked sounds like a big and successful attack, but there are more minor attack attempts all the time. It’s the blessing and curse of every package manager that anyone can upload almost anything.

The upshot is that the most active repos have the most eyes. Not to say an attack won’t fly under the radar, but if the React or Angular packages (or their dependencies) start acting weird, it’s more likely that someone will notice, as there are people dedicated to auditing such things.

Furthermore, a lot of the smaller packages do “one thing” (see the infamous is-even package), so they are small and easy to self-audit if you are paranoid enough.

It’s not perfect, and there will always be more headlines about the next big attack, but it’s still a boon overall IMO.

Honestly, quite fun. The instrumentation is nothing to write home about, but it's a pretty decent canvas for each of their styles to come through.

I am almost done with Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. It's weird, but I'm enjoying it.

I had a blast with this one last year. Fun card battler with light social elements.

Aye, looking at the replies, I'm becoming aware that I left out a couple key assumptions I've made. Assuming:

a) id is a PRIMARY KEY (or otherwise UNIQUE)

b) I mean equivalent insofar as "the rows returned will contain equivalent data same (though maybe ordered differently)"

Putting aside any opinions on performance, I've been trying to test a notion about whether a couple queries would output the same data (ordering doesn't matter).

SELECT *
FROM articles
WHERE (
  last_updated >= %s
  OR id IN (1, 2, 3)
  )
  AND created_at IS NOT NULL
SELECT *
FROM articles
WHERE last_updated >= %s
  AND created_at IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT *
FROM articles
WHERE id IN (1, 2, 3)
  AND created_at IS NOT NULL

I think they're equivalent, but I can't prove it to myself.

I'm a big fan of tig for visualizing the graph and looking over history (then I don't need to leave the terminal, and it's snappier, in my experience, than most full-GUI programs like Sourcetree), but for actual Git commands, I like the CLI

I'm glad it is now. I remember a decade or so ago, I wrote an APNG decoder, so I was deep in the world of APNG.

And I remember reading various things that made me think MNG was the 'more official' flavour of "animated PNG", and it was absurd to me, because APNG seemed like a much more approachable spec. I'm glad the winds have turned...

One thing you should do is grab your data for easy moving, you haven't already.


Assuming you're using the default Lemmy web UI (not Voyager, or Photon, or a mobile app, or whatever), click on your username in the top right, and select "Settings".

On the settings page, there's a section called "Import/Export Settings". Click the "Export" button and let your browser download the file.

Then, when you switch instances, you can go into the same Settings page on the new instance, select the file you downloaded, and hit "Import" and you will automatically be resubscribed to the communities you subscribed to.

I was just taking a peek at the various frontends supported by lemmy.ca, and I was wondering if the admins here have any insight into their respective use?

I'm going to bet the default (lemmy-ui) is most popular, but do any of the other frontends get far-and-away more use than the other alternatives? Has there been any trends up or down? Just thought I'd ask.

As an aside, if any of the frontend developers happen across this post, well done to all of you! I can immediately see the appeal of each, so each niche is being filled darn well!

Edit: to be clear, I'm talking about the frontends listed on the lemmy.ca main sidebar.
