Just came across it and it’s more relevant today than when it was posted

They could bother with pulse, but IDK how portable the API for that is, also discord working on Linux is more accidental and this getting fixed might just be because they want it fixed on the Mac side too.

It’s sad to see that discord has waited over 8 years to do this, but the whole thing is soydev code anyways.

From what I can tell they are working on updating their electron version to one that is aware of pipewire, this is the first part of solving the issue (especially for Wayland folks), the second part is just fixing some code in the client to deal with that and then it should be fixed until we deprecate pipewire in 2079. Additionally it would make discord finally act as a native Wayland app instead of being forced in xwayland.

I heard of MakeMKV before, thing is that I generally don’t buy blu-rays because of the downright horrible DRM schemes.

if DRM makes it harder for me to enjoy the content I bought and paid for (this includes limiting me to some lowres garbage even though my system is more than capable of playing HD and FHD video) compared to what I would get if I were to pirate it then it’s a problem of distribution; not one of morality.

you will always have some group that pirates your content no matter what; but if buying gives me a worse product because of artificial restrictions put on it I can’t give any less of a shit.
there’s very few streaming platforms that even give me a decent option (and I don’t even properly own my library; all I get is a license to watch/listen to something, one that could be revoked at any time in the future without me being able to do anything except complain about it).

Most dvd’s should be fine as VLC can play almost any of them.

BD is where things get complicated because of DRM, expect almost none of them to work thanks to big corpo telling us what we can and can’t do with something you bought and paid for (sadly enough streaming doesn’t get much better either)

The best course of action is to consume as much content in the target language as possible, tv shows, music, YouTube videos… Your brain will eventually pick up on certain parts of the language naturally. Also the best thing you can do is to not force yourself to speak or write in that language until you are comfortable doing so (this is one of the biggest things doulingo does wrong).

I can attest to this method working as I went from barely knowing a couple of English words to speaking it in about 4 months (you could probably do less if you stick to what I outlined above). To back up this method I suggest you look at antimoon which is written by people who have used this to learn English as well.

I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.

Simple, they stand up on flat ground

Length might have mattered in the 80s and 90s when IDEs were crap but we got autocomplete in pretty much all our text editors (even TUI ones like vim).

As for readability there is an argument to be had in specific contexts, but 9 out of 10 times it makes more sense to use a proper word.

Example:

let list = [1, 2, 3];
for i in list {
    println!("{}", i);
}

In this case using item in the place of i would be more fitting.

Heya, seems you made a post to lemmy from a mastodon instance.

You can post to lemmy from mastodon, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. The first line of your post is the title (if you only post 1 line lemmy will duplicate it), Lemmy only allows text here and things like links will look broken.
2. Hashtags do work on Lemmy, but they will not be useful for discovery here we use communities instead (which display as groups on mastodon)
3. Only the first image in your post is visible on Lemmy, be mindful of this when posting image or video content

I am a human that stumbled upon your post, if you have any questions feel free to reply.

Except all but 3 apps are built on top of things that don’t support it.

Maybe in the future; but I don’t have too much hope right now.

I’ve been using when, it’s very simple; but so are my needs for a calendar.

Go to the site, right click on the url bar and at the bottom there’s the option.

Any site that implements open search can be added.

Only consistent dark theme so I use it on all the mobile apps, I’d much rather have some way of defining a custom theme for apps to follow like you can do with GTK and Qt on Linux.

I loved the first half of season 1, anything past that was riding on the hype train for me, season 2 felt like shit when it came out so I dropped it a few episodes in.

The whole redemption arc was great and I lived it, sad it decided to keep it so short as it was the highlight for many.

That said, Mushoku Tensei does the whole redemption arc amazingly as you see Rudeus grow throughout the series and it’s second season is a much appreciated slow burn where we get a good idea of his mental state while things are moving off screen.

This is being done by the studio that did S4 of high school DxD and interspecies reviewers which were pretty solid in my book so I have hopes for this one, doubly so since I’ve been looking to get into the series for a bit now

Then it might be one of those scripts

Discord’s electron still hasn’t received the patch for spectre/meltdown mitigation in the browser, I doubt they will ever have to deal with manifest V3 or WEI.

You can save posts on Lemmy, for me it’s a bookmark icon (I use liftoff) they will show up in your bookmarks.

I love this feature as a nice “come back to this later” button

Man, that’s just ice cold
