worth mentioning that a FOSS clone exists of this game called Open Hexagon:

https://github.com/vittorioromeo/SSVOpenHexagon

Cool find! Wish I had something like this back in high school.

Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you're on your own. The fact that it's Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.

It's like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.

I use LLMs to generate unit tests, among other things that are pretty much already described here. It helps me discover edge cases I haven't considered before, regardless if the generated unit tests themselves pass correctly or not.

If It’s as good as astrobot then I don’t think 10bucks is all that crazy either.

... is not in agreement with

If the only point is to advertise the functionality of the console, charging any sort of money for it is not productive for what it should be achieving

...and it doesn't look like a contrapositive either.

Astrobot is actually a fully-fledged standalone game, in which the PS5's features are seamlessly baked into the core of the gameplay, rather than the core of the game being just the PS5 functionalities. The only other game I could think of and one you could compare it to more accurately is Tearaway (back when it was a PS Vita exclusive), because that was also a game that made use of every core functionality the console for that game had to offer.

The Welcome Tour is literally just PS Vita's Welcome Park but with a few more mini games, the latter of which is free.

If I can skirt the conversation to talk more about the soundtrack and less about the ambiance (which I will), then Dicey Dungeons. I deliberately stall battles just to hear more of the OST. Tempting Fate is my favorite track.

For something multi-platform as a music downloading solution, I recommend Lucida instead:

https://lucida.to/

you just paste the link of an album/song (whether via Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal, etc..) and download away. Then all you have to do is unzip the resulting archive file.

For anyone doing research (or more generally, studying in uni), consult the literature pirate's equivalent of the Library of Alexandria:

https://libgen.is/

And fuck copyright in academia (fuck copyright and academia in general), here's a site that let's you bypass research article paywalls (pick one of the instances):

https://www.sci-hub.pub/

I was hoping it could be embedded, but this is a nice-to-know, thanks!

[–] uberstar@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

i'm clueless about torrents and Lemmy, can you embed them in posts/comments somehow? The closest thing I could think of is using a Framatube instance, but I don't think you can embed them

Random general question, how do you feel about file hosting? When posting, I tend to avoid uploading media larger than like, 5MB, just cause I know that the cost of storing said media can get exorbitant very quickly and I wouldn't want to be part of the burden.. I'm not able to donate just yet. Knowing this, I am currently on the fence on whether I should create a "gaming clips" community.

That said, it's nice to be able to embed media from other sources (despite it potentially not working natively for mobile platforms if I'm not mistaken?), which got me thinking: it'd be nice to have some sort of preference list of image/video hosting hosts that users can add to or remove from, and uploading directly from the comment/create post view would use the first working file hosting domain from the list.. Just spitballing here.

Glad to see this lemmy community revived :D!

Try the ones listed here: https://github.com/rossant/awesome-math?tab=readme-ov-file#books

Though I'd agree with another commenter down here, the units largely don't matter in those subjects and they're just there to help readers "relate" to the problems discussed in most textbooks, unless you intend to work with, idk, specialized subjects like, something closely related to Physics?

Hello there, are there any FOSS Android apps out there that serve as both a reader and a vault for PDFs? I want to be able to encrypt the PDF files and decrypt+read them with a single vault password.

I could just encrypt PDF files separately using the same password, but it's not really that convenient having to go through several PDFs tbh.

I want to store the PDFs on the storage of my phone.

UPDATE: Safe Space is exactly what I needed, ty @chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de, will provide a review of the app later

 

This comes as a result of a scuffle between South Americans and Poles, with two ending up hospitalized in Śrem. Followed by this, stupid questions like "Have open borders brought gang violence to Poland all the way from South America?" (Blood) are seriously being asked and discussed.

Pictures of the situation's aftermath: Atak ostrym przedmiotem na śremskiej plaży. Są poważnie ranni [AKTUALIZACJA] (CW: Blood, albeit censored)

Latest statement the Śrem Police, Google Translated:

Yesterday, September 7, just after At 11 p.m., the Śrem Police officer on duty was notified about a fight that took place on the beach at Lake Grzymisławskie in Śrem. Police investigations into this matter were and are currently ongoing throughout the night. The police are explaining the situation and determining the course of the event in which several people took part. Two men, residents of Śrem, were taken to hospital with injuries. The police detained four men as suspects of involvement in the fight. One of these men is an Argentine national and three are Colombian nationals. They were all taken to police custody. Today, at 09.40, policemen from the Śrem Implementation Group detained a fifth man as a person suspected of participating in a fight. He is also a Colombian citizen. This man was also taken into police custody , said the deputy inspector in the morning. Kasińska.

To no one's surprise, this is a clear-cut scapegoating of all immigrants for the actions of a few, looking for any excuse to wage racist, xenophobic actions on less than 3.69% of the population of Poland.

Nationalities outside of Europe are so small, they are all relegated to the "other" row on the census .-.

Proponents of these lynch mobs will say that the data above may be a bit outdated, since there's been a bump-up on the non-Poles population (as if it justifies the proliferation of these mobs), but will omit the fact that after 2021, most of them come from Ukraine.. So that still doesn't change much of anything.

Citizen patrol scheduled in Warsaw @ 21 September:

Citizen patrol planned in Katowice from 20-22nd September:

The patrol policy:

The patrol will supposedly be followed by police monitoring, as if that'd make it any better.

I was just scrolling through my youtube recommendations out of boredom and then suddenly, out of thin air, youtube's algo comes in with a rare W: The Geoguessr World Cup 2024. This is the sort of entertainment I didn't know I wanted lol.

I only managed to start watching when the semi-finals were happening and my god, it was way too thrilling than I expected it to be.

Hello, I bought my first used phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro) and was wondering what are the best practices taken before using it. I've read the reviews of the merchant selling the phone, looked into ratings and asked some questions about the condition of the phone, so I'm sure of my purchase on that end.

What about after receiving the phone? I know I would run a factory reset, aside from that, is there anything else to do?

 

Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".
