someone let me know a few days ago, there's a lot of conflicting information floating around about this that I need to look into

I support the harshest of penalties for people who think it's funny to SWAT streamers, people in game lobbies, etc, if your country has the death penalty then you deserve it, otherwise life in prison, there is 0 reason to call in a fake police report
You might think that's harsh but people have died and will continue to die from pulling stupid stunts like this and I have 0 sympathy for anyone who wants to do so.

My new favorite crypto bro term is "Web2 Games" for anyone who doesn't speak bullshit fluently, this just means normal video games that use the internet as opposed to "Web3 Games" which means we take shit video games and cram them with crypto nonsense

I would say that was a pretty successful COSMIC stream, we pulled the focus system apart, worked out how to replicate a couple of annoying bugs, and even found a way to crash the desktop, I'm thinking of doing these maybe once per month so there's time to get older issues fixed.

Hot Take:
Every big project needs a Linus Torvalds, I don't mean a BDFL, I mean someone who takes no bullshit, you will do this correctly, you follow procedure or you piss off. Who will give leeway to new devs as they learn, but expects more from long term devs who know better

I get it from people outside this space but even in the FOSS world there are a lot of people that simply doesn't understand the basics of how copyright works, how licenses work and think, "oh, I can see the code, therefore I can do whatever I want with it"

Can anyone explain to the value in a development playground for web development, my web browser is a development playground already.

Today we have Ben Droste from 100 Stones Interactive on the show, previously having release The Eyes Of Ara now working on a new title Memory's Reach. Ben has a long history in the Australian games industry but decided to step out onto his own, learn programming and start making some really cool titles. #Gaming #Podcast #GameDevelopment #IndieDev

I would avoid the 3rd as it makes expanding display type basically impossible without changing it back to a drop down

I was under the assumption that the FSF had been dwindling in membership for a long time, at least as of the 2022 financial reports that doesn't actually seem to be the case.
You'll see this graph in an upcoming video

Not only for accessibility reasons but if there are English subtitles available do you use them?

If there's one statement I find insufferable it's "Linux is just a kernel" as a rebuttal to anything.
Firstly you're a moron, Linux is the colloquial term for the operating system, get over it already.
Secondly, it's not actually a rebuttal to anything, it's just semantics.

We need to change KDE back to the "Kool Desktop Environment".
I suggest using this name in every possible context to gaslight everyone into thinking it's still called this, then eventually the developers will have to accept it as well.

Please for the love of god keep in mind that this is an alpha, everything I say is only representative of it as an alpha, and as alpha there's a lot bugs but here's a little spoiler the core POC is really good.

It's so nice to see that we're finally getting to a point where those annoying edge cases for Wayland are almost resolved. It's becoming much harder to point to a specific issue that's holding you back from Wayland.

I've noticed a trend with Mozilla trying to diversify their income so they're no longer a Google subsidiary.
Mozilla consistently tries to build products in overly saturated markets, years after they should have been released

The admin has been getting into fights with fediblock people and some are calling for the whole instance to be blocked

2024-08-03 02:02:29

So we've returned back to this old instance (I will update the picture later on)
LinuxRocks has been good to me over the past few years but sadly due to recent events it looks like it's a bit of a sinking ship with an uncertain future in the Fediverse and I'm certainly not going to drown alongside it.
