    I can remember back when that one feature I waited for was a functioning DX11 driver like the box fucking said. Fucking AMD…

    When you have submitted multiple PRs and they get ignored even though you follow their ridiculously complicated CI and testing guidelines, so you just fork the repo and do whatever you want. (And then hope things don’t break a year from now because you aren’t pulling any new features and fixes.)

      I wish I had the drive to learn to really program instead of just small scripts and BS, but im sure I’d just spend all my time keeping up with the code base and trying to follow guidelines that I’d add nothing to the project.

    Factorio allows you to transfer items between space stations now.

    IDK if that’s the kind of thing the post is about, and there has certainly not been 5 years. Also, no time for Yay!, because I’m busy designing some space platform fabric…

      It’s awesome and Lemmy is wrong to hate and denounce the genuinely good outputs of frontier models. There is enough wrong with LLMs and the companies behind them that is fair to criticise. Lemmy puts human made code on a pedestal, but look at the certificate and php stuff this week, all human errors…

          Idk, I’ve used it for a bunch of weekend projects and it works for me. It’s like hating on hammers because you guys are all screwdriver elites. Everything is automatically slop if it’s an LLM…

          It’s because Lemmy is full of communists and furry artists that fear for their livelihood. They imagine human code as something divine, when in reality it’s cobol code that can’t even get leap year calculation right. And didn’t for 5 decades.

            I mean the first part is true for some but not all, but maybe after you experience memory leaks that slow your pc down to a crawl so slow that you can’t even close it, maybe then you will realize that ai is just autocorrect on steroids.

            Could also be because AI slop is made by industrial plagiarism on a scale you likely fail to comprehend.

            The equivalent of a joke thief’s joke being funny when you do not know it is stolen and have not heard it told by the original comedian. “That Carlos Mencia is a genius. His domination of comedy is inevitable.”

              I do comprehend it and the output in code is still good enough or better than human output, at least in some cases. As I said, there is plenty to critique, but output quality isn’t anymore with code. Regarding art, I just don’t care about it.

    I have been looking for a sudoku app which allows me to use different symbols rather than numbers because sometimes the numbers themselves confuse me, so using random symbols helps to keep them arbitrary. After years of waiting I submitted a feature request for Open Sudoku and a couple of weeks later it was implemented. Years of waiting, a few weeks waiting after asking, just amazing. Open Source software is definitely the future, and the communities around Open Source project, while a little variable, are absolutely outstanding.

        In the settings you can change which symbol set is in use. For example you can use Japanese kanji numbers replacing the Roman numerals. The numerals at the bottom of the screen on the keypad also change to match, so you just press the corresponding button. You can also use a few others and it is a really nice if niche feature.

      Open source is the modern marvel that nobody talks about. Like the industrial revolution or the building of the pyramids. I know it’s preaching to the choir on lemmy. Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.

      Sometimes I wonder how much the average person can comprehend the scale of what has been accomplished over the past few decades. I’m sure they attribute it to the power of the corporations’ drive for profit. None of that would have happened without the combined effort of people around the world building out one software library or application at a time. There’s a behemoth underneath the shiny corporate tech products that is the real achievement.

      Some say, born to late to yadda born to soon to whatever. Guy, we have lived in very interesting times. You just haven’t been looking. We’ve lived through the middle of something incredible. I’m sure Jim Ramses was super annoyed at another brick to haul back in 10000BC so the pharaoh can have his stupid tomb or whatever. He wasn’t thinking, they’re going to be nuts over this stuff in a few millennia.

      That being said, I think open source is facing existential trials in the near future.

        Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.

        It’s hard to even convey how very true this is.

        Basically all of network infrastructure depends on open libraries. All of the most widely used cryptography standards are open source. There was a period when basically every server on the internet was an Ubuntu/Apache stack. The Internet Protocol itself is open, and would not function otherwise.

        Open source is the Internet. The Internet is open source.

      Huh, this is something I have never thought of, and I’m not really sure what it’s for… but it sounds like the idea is that you say upfront “play me the next 3 episodes of this show”, and then it plays 3 automatically, and after the third takes you back to the menu? Fascinating.

        It’s for people who use TV or spoken audio (podcast / radio show) as an environmental sleep aid / sleep cue. Electronics in general are suboptimal options for this but it’s a common one that works well enough for some people.

        They’re falling asleep to it, but they’re usually still kinda paying attention to the chronological plot, so they want it to keep their place just after they slip into unconsciousness so they can just rewind 30-60min and keep watching from where they were instead of waking up 8 hours and a full season into the show later.

        Also some similar utility for people watching TV while doing chores who are just gonna kind of wander off near the end.

            My college roommate used to play Family Guy on his laptop all night to help him sleep. It meant that I didn’t get any sleep that entire semester.

            For me it’s an AuDHD thing that covers attention issues as well as sensory ones.

            In my case, I don’t listen to shows where I’d need this Jellyfin feature. It’s usually videos of playthroughs or speedruns of old video games. It provides constant music while also having some progression to follow with the sound effects and changing tracks. So not unlike listening to a show in that sense.

            Having something to pay attention to keeps my mind from racing and keeps me from worrying about whether I’m falling asleep fast enough.

            And for whatever neurological reason, having constant sounds in my ears is soothing. In the same way quiet game sounds help me get to sleep, having some loud thrash metal in my ears helps me focus and get things done whether it’s writing code or doing yard work.

            My personal theory is that audio-based stimulus helps press the pause button on my non-stop internal dialogue.

            Night shift psych is kinda like specifically being a sleep specialist lol. My personal sleep cue is a raging thunderstorm. Honestly I wish I had more options for providing sleep ambiance to patients but the institutional setting is notoriously stingy. What I really wanna know is why men sleep with their hands in their pants / over their genitals. It doesn’t read as arousal most of the time, so it must just be a regular comfort thing somehow.

              For me - it’s cats. They know exactly where to jump on the bed while I’m asleep. I try to side sleep now but if I’m on my back I’m protecting 😂

              Your post leaves me with a lot of questions. But as for the hand in pants thing, they probably had siblings or roommates at some point who thought it was funny to wake people up by tagging them in the balls.
