Serious question: I’ve never met a programmer who has ever actually written anything in Tcl in the real world. If you’ve working in Tcl, tell me about it! What did you use it for and when? Was it awesome/terrible/etc.?

Well, you kind of can actually. It just replaces KWin
This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.
I don’t understand how authoritarian leaning conservatives and free speech absolutists align most of the time.
Sure, it’s just another tarball to compile and install, right? What do you mean lots of dependencies? Oh, well, I guess there is Krita :)
If we’re in string freeze, it’s probably within a few weeks. They’re in bug squashing and translations mode now. I’d take that bet.
I’m saying you should do your own research
This is the calling card slogan of someone who’s bought into reality rejection…
The educated world is built on a web of trust whereupon subject matter experts must necessarily yield to others when something is outside of their realm of expertise. I am a planetary scientist and geophysicist and spent nearly a decade studying. I am constantly learning things in my own field, and by no means do I have a full grasp on every detail. But I can call out BS when someone talks about orbital mechanics or earthquakes or whatever. I do not, however, know anything about the digestive tract of my cat and yield to the veterinarian who has spent their whole life becoming an expert on these sorts of things. I don’t argue with the vet that I’ve done my own research (watched a few youtube videos) and thus am qualified to disagree with them. Because objectively I know less than them on that subject and no cursory review will solve my ignorance.
When rating the bias of news organizations, what qualifications do you have so that you can do your own research? Do you have fundamental knowledge of the journalistic process? Is the media source covering a topic you are a subject matter expert in? Or are you just lashing out because it doesn’t vibe with your worldview?
The thing about the fediverse is: it doesn’t have to be uniform in how the admins and moderators behave, because federation is an elective process. Don’t like an admin or mod, go somewhere else. Just don’t be surprised when that somewhere else gets defederated.
So, federated network advantages here: you can always modify your instance’s hosting code to patch this out, at least for the users on your instance.
What you cannot do is prevent other federated instances from publishing the votes submitted to content on their instance. But if you’re accessing that content through your local instance, they can modify the upvote button to pop up a dialog saying something like: “The instance that hosts this content has elected to make usernames visible for upvote/downvote. Would you still like to vote?”
Personally: In many ways I don’t mind. I’m on the internet with my real name. I don’t mind being accountable for my behaviour online. I might be a little more cautious about upvoting something controversial or NSFW, but largely it wouldn’t change my behaviour.
So no way to pull Mastadon hosted content into Lemmy.
Okay, but how.
Wait, you can follow Mastadon from Lemmy already? How?
As a former slackware aficionado, I’d have to say that the general mood of the users and development team was super chill. Hell, the name slackware comes from “slack”, the goal of the Church of the SubGenius. The whole thing is a meme that’s been going steady for decades.
I had the privilege of meeting Patrick and much of the core Slackware group at the KDE 4.0 release party. They are all awesome.
I can expect that users that tolerate the Slackware style are also those that are pretty laid back to begin with. Probably they were happier people already, and using slackware just vibes with them.
Linux on all their electric cars, and they’re watching porn while driving ;)
In KDE, there used to be man: as a protocol that you could use from Konqueror or anything else for that matter. Does it still exist?
I’m at work and cannot check.
It’s so ironic. Over the last few decades you could find millions of examples of the opposite question being asked.
Unlike the N1, each raptor has its own turbopump. Fault tolerance is a core goal. In the last launch, for example, there was a single engine that shut off on takeoff, and the rocket proceded more or less normally.
Oh hi Jure of KDE fame ;)
How is KMail these days? I haven’t used it in years. It always largely worked, but never really exceled at anything.
Fair enough. I’m also lazy and don’t want to have to migrate :)
But you mean you wrote it in python with tkinter as a toolkit, rather than writing it in Tcl (which is its own language, like python).
