Nowadays my main account, but other @Deebsters are available.

  • The Fediverse is what social media should be

    Jump

  • I liked that you didn't bring up the email comparison until fairly late - lots of people reach for it very early in their explanations, but it's so different to what the Fediverse offers that I think it just confuses people.

    I raised my eyebrows clear off my head when you said that the different instances interact "seamlessly", but you did loop back and give a more nuanced/honest account. Good stuff!

  • eserde – a serde that just doesn't stop

    Jump

  • That's quite useful in the example given (passing errors back to clients), but I wonder if sometimes these others errors are artifacts from the first error - it would be more annoying to have these false negatives (and wasting time understanding that that's what they are) than having to retry.

  • Being an adult

  • xkcd #3045: AlphaMove

    Jump

  • As soon as I saw the comic, I came to check that someone had posted this classic.

  • I was thinking that it's now 81 mothers ago, but then I got distracted by the fact that there was no year 0AD and now I'm thinking that roughly 80 is good enough.

  • I'm not asking for much! Android Music app (requirements below)

    Jump

  • I decided on Symfonium as well - especially once I realised the author, Tolriq, was the same on who'd made Yatse, my favourite Kodi remote. Tolriq is an indie developer and always has very fair pricing and excellent support, so I'm happy to pay (once, per app) for a polished experience.

  • Young people are hanging out less – it may be harming their mental health

    Jump

  • RPG-CLI – your filesystem as a dungeon

    Jump

  • Nice to see something written in Rust that doesn't claim it's blazingly fast.

  • Don't reply "just Google it"

    Jump

  • The way that all the copies of the content link to the original post should be some kind of SEO hack. I wonder if it's triggering specific rules in search engines that detect it and downrank it as cheating.

  • Don't reply "just Google it"

    Jump

  • Or scrambled all of their posts after APIgate (or whatever we're calling it). Perhaps they came here, which means OP is right in saying we can be a new source of useful answers.

  • I made a little tool to unzip archives in a sane way

    Jump

  • It's definitely a bit of a confusing garden-path sentence.

  • Man who found smooth Mars bar gets £2 compensation

    Jump

  • A bitcoin millionaire could've been eating it as we speak

  • I made a little tool to unzip archives in a sane way

    Jump

  • There's enough words there - I read it as "when this widely-used client added feature x"...

  • Next month is gonna be rough

    Jump

  • I laughed at that too - they knew what they were doing, right?

  • D-Link refuses to patch yet another security flaw, suggests users just buy new routers — D-Link told users to replace NAS last week

    Jump

  • I watched and enjoyed that one yesterday, and he's bang on the money. People here are saying "well it's EoL" but that means it's got all the way through development and its full lifetime with such a prominent set of bugs.

    I don't think I'll be buying D-Link if that's what supported means.

  • makes sense or is reasonable

    That's getting less and less relevant every day.

  • To be fair, you've added commas which makes it a parenthetical phrase. But yeah - people do speak like this in real life; technically, I should have said no-one speaks like this in non-impromptu speech without sounding stilted.

    "Carl said on Thursday" is definitely more idiomatic (to my BrE ears, anyway) than "Carl on Thursday said".

  • Speeding up the Rust edit-build-run cycle

    Jump 
  •  
        
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
linker = "/usr/bin/clang-15"`
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=--ld-path=/usr/local/bin/mold"]

    Can you put something like mold or env mold for better portability?

    If not, I guess it's not so bad to edit and do git update-index --assume-unchanged .cargo/config.toml but it's a bit hacky since any further changes also get ignored.

  • It's a bit stilted and no-one would speak like that (at least without sounding pretentious), but it's not bad grammar.

    Also, shame on the moron that downvoted you for asking a question.

  • Synology hurries out patches for zero-days exploited at Pwn2Own

    Jump

  • So they’ve just decided that all devices now support HEVC (H.265) and they’ll just disable transcoding? My media centre is on a Pi 3B and that can’t play h265 smoothly. If I had a Synology I’d be pretty annoyed!
