1 day agoWouldn’t be surprising if this were done on purpose by the fruit company. All the more exciting when it will be overcome and they’ll have to find another wrench to throw.

It’s not the size of the PR that counts!
51·3 days agoHow does this compare to Notion? Can it be used as a knowledge management system? I ask because I see highlights and notes.
Goddammit, that’s a good one 🤣
Thanks!
What am I missing? What’s wrong with zip? Should tar.gz be used instead?
There’s constructive criticism and then there’s just yapping.
“Ermagerd GIMP devs are so shit at design” = yapping
“Just build a platform for designers” = supposed solution + it’s so easy, people are stupid for not having built this yet = yapping
Had it been, something like
I’m not a fan of GIMP’s design. It would be cool if had a way to help them. Maybe a platform to connect devs and designers? It could work like …
That would’ve been a completely different discussion.
Alright making this really simple.
These are the interpretations of you and your words:
- you are a dev
- you think GIMP’s design is shit
- you think GIMP devs should be better at design and are worth shitting on
- you purport to have a solution
My words:
- stop shitting on devs for design
- build the solution you purport to have
Nowhere do I say “designers should write code”.
Are we on the same page now?
here should be a platform that enables designers to relatively easily contribute to open source projects without learning git or whatever the fuck.
Make it then.
Do you know how difficult it is to make software that runs, let alone runs well? Do you know how difficult it is to stay on top of the constant messages, issues, PRs, and just churn that comes alone when that particular software gets popular? And on top of that devs are supposed to be design gods too?
If you think you have the solution: build it. Be a part of the solution. The developers of GIMP can’t do everything.
Sorry @jonny@neuromatch.social. I was being a hypocrite and an ass. I’ll try and be more constructive with my feedback.
Good luck on the project! I hope that it will be a success!
22·5 days ago@jonny@neuromatch.social I want to like this, but the repo and website do not convey this fundamental information about the project
- what it is
- what is does
- why it does it
- how it does it
The repository only has deployment notes.
The webpage has:
- The name
- A quote
- What SciOp belongs to
- A call to action addressed at… somebody
- Some random stats
It doesn’t mention “tracker” anywhere and only mentions “bittorrent” once.
Please consider people who:
- know nothing about the project
- don’t care about who you are
- have under 5 minutes (most likely 1 minute) to be intrigued
- are not necessarily technically inclined
Ask yourselves who the target audience is and maybe even state it on your webpage.
Lastly, it’s probably too late to change the name and it’s a matter of taste, but making it a homonym to PsyOp make me immediately think that this has a connection to anti-vaxxers, chemtrail believers, flat-earthers, illuminati freaks, and just conspiracy theorists in general.
Maybe I’m the only one thinking this, but as it currently exists, the project feels very much like the old-school C projects that assumed you were “in the know” before even arriving at the website or project. It does not make it inviting - at least not to me. It may be a completely false impression, but it is my impression nonetheless.
On regular x86 laptops, this mapping is already present in the UEFI firmware, described as ACPI tables. ACPI, which stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, is an open standard that some firmware implementations use to advertise the devices that are part of the system to the operating system through a key-value data structure called “ACPI tables”. At boot, when the operating system detects ACPI tables, it reads them to enumerate the hardware devices and allow the various drivers and kernel modules to interact with all compatible discovered devices.
Why doesn’t Quallcomm have this? Seems like a major oversight. Kinda weird that they don’t have ACPI. It’s an open standard…
2·9 days agoThe joke is that there are some people who truly believe chatgpt is a better programmer than humans. It isn’t that programming.dev is chock full of beginners who seriously believe the same.
I’ve been in the industry a while too and in multiple countries in Europe. Before COVID there were even some visits to tech conferences. Only once did I meet a trans person (or so I think, they never corrected anybody on the pronouns).
This seems to be an internet thing, or at least the loud minority thing, but maybe I’m also just a recluse 🤷
Nobody’s really serious on a meme sub. Maybe check your humour meter. It must be broken.
It took me a while to find, but the newest, best supported phones on the device list are
- PINE64 PinePhone Pro (2021)
- Fairphone 4 (2021) (partial call support)
- PINE64 PinePhone (2020)
- Purism Librem 5 (2020)
- SHIFT SHIFT6mq (2020)
The pixel 3a is not well supported and has problems with wifi, battery, audio, camera, calls, and NFC, so IMO don’t base your impression of PostmarketOS on the pixel3a.
Companies are already resisting because they can’t figure out a good way to interview people. “We tried nothing and are all out of ideas”. Hopefully more companies like Fuck Leetcode pop up to force a change in interview techniques.
Fuck… off the list they go then. Bamboozled, I was.
Seeing as you have money (you bought a mac), there are probably more than enough linux laptop and desktop brands out there.
Linux Preloaded has an overview. My favourites (because Europe) are:
- Tuxedo Computers 🇩🇪
- Slimbook 🇪🇸
- Starlab Systems 🇬🇧
There’s no need to give your money to anti-competitive business like Apple, HP, Lenovo, etc. You can contribute to an alternative, more open, competitive ecosystem. A new macbook pro costs ~2k€. You can get something roughly similar for 1.2k€ from tuxedo computers: infinity book. You can configure that to have 96GB RAM and 6TB storage and you’re now at about the equivalent price tag. If you want a version with a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card here you go. Or here with an AMD graphics card. Both with 64GB RAM and 2TB storage (4x that of the default macbook pro). Go NVIDIA if you want AI/ML stuff, go AMD if you just want to game.
Those were tuxedo computers laptops, and they have more, but Slimbook has similar laptops (example). Starlab Systems books are more expensive, but still provide more bang for the buck than Apple and are very customisable.
May I introduce you to left parenthesis and right parenthesis? May I further introduce you to millions of parentheses?
