Like a banjo?

Pretty sure, people drawing for commissions would typically use a drawing tablet… ^^’

I’m guessing, those people are worried that it will be removed. It’s already somewhat on the line since Wayland started replacing X11, because individual desktop environments can now decide to implement it or not.

It’s mainly just a nicely polished app with rather many optional features and settings.

But well, at the end of the day, it does still just show a list of 6-digit-numbers, so it’s not revolutionarily different either…

I don’t think there is a way to do that. It does not seem like something they’d make configurable, if it was implemented.

It does seem like something they might want to implement, though. You can vote on it being implemented here (where someone else already submitted the idea): https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/drag-handle-on-firefox-browser-too-limited-add-ability-to-also/idi-p/104103

Side-note: In case you are on Linux, you may prefer the operating-system-wide shortcut to move any window from anywhere on its surface by holding either the Windows-key or Alt-key (varies between desktop environments) and then left-click-dragging on the window. If you do a right-click-drag instead, it resizes the window.

Ah, I thought there would be a male bird involved still, but I guess that example just explains ovulation. Still quite optimistic that everyone shares the same understanding here, though…

This post made me realize, I’ve only ever heard “the birds and the bees” referenced, but never actually how it’s applied during sex ed.

But uh, turns out this does not make any sense in that context either. It’s just two separate examples to explain sexuality, so bees pollinating flowers and birds laying eggs. They’re just used as examples, because they’re visible in nature and somewhat resemble the mechanics of sex.

My thinking was that bees are the ones that pollinate, so male.

But they certainly don’t pollinate birds, so I don’t know where that was going either. 🫠

I feel like this isn’t really a new development. Back when LAN parties and local multiplayer were still a thing, games like TeeWorlds, Worms etc. were popular, because they ran on potatoes and you could often get them for free.

The actual fun then came from dicking around with or competing against your friends. The game itself does not need to be ground-breaking for that.

Hell, it technically started even earlier than that, with physical card games and board games and such. Just play them with friends and it’s fun.

Yeah, but still not in agreement with the people who live/d there…

You know how the US likes to obliterate countries for oil? Yeah, our power companies like to do that for coal.

I mean, I don’t have a ton of skin in the game here, as I don’t care much for horror games either way.
But yeah, I just assume that they say they’re cautious to calm the fans, but they actually can’t be cautious, since well, they can only really delay by a whole year at a time, and if they do that, then they have two games in the year afterwards.

They did only pre-plan a handful of years, so maybe they can just delay the following games by a year each, too.

But yeah, it still just sounds like the decision-making here isn’t driven by logic or what allows publishing good games, but rather by

Oh man, and they’re gonna want to release in autumn, too, to be in time for spooky season. So, if it isn’t done at that point, they’re likely to release in an unfinished state rather than delay by a whole year…

I almost expected someone to learn that just from me posting. 😅

Basically, OpenOffice used to be organized by Sun Microsystems. Then Sun got bought by Oracle back in 2010.
Oracle does not have a good reputation at all, so the OpenOffice devs from back then figured they’d need to take things into their own hands and set up The Document Foundation to organize further development. But the OpenOffice trademark was owned by Sun/Oracle, so they had to rename and get a new homepage and everything. The name they chose is LibreOffice: https://www.libreoffice.org/

After the OpenOffice project was effectively dead, Oracle handed it and its trademark over to the Apache Foundation, where it’s seeing occasional bug fixes. But to my knowledge, they don’t even have the capacity to fix all the security problems.
All the actual feature development happens over on the LibreOffice side.

So, in practice, if you want OpenOffice, what you really want is LibreOffice.

Yeah, not great. You always hope that projects under a larger foundation, like GNOME, have a higher bus factor¹, but unless that foundation has dispensible income to pay someone, you’re ultimately still reliant on volunteers and not many people volunteer for maintenance.

What the foundation can do, though, which is also really important, is to hand over the keys to a new maintainer, should you disappear over night.
Like, yeah, forking is great, but some people will never learn of the fork. It happens about once a year that I find someone online who’s still using OpenOffice and that project has been practically dead since 2011.
So, I do hope we can get more open-source projects under some sort of umbrella. No idea how to actually do that, though. I also have open-source projects where I would not even know where to start to get them under some organization…

Oh man, I think it’s been taken offline, but there was a video podcast thingamabob on PeerTube, where two dudes would wax philosophically about politics, which they called “Dagoth Hour”. 🙃

(The main baddy in Morrowind is called “Dagoth Ur” and he likes to wax philosophically.)

I always just do ss -ltnp | grep <port-number>, which filters well enough for my purposes and is a bit easier to remember…

I guess, those don’t work for hidden/minimized windows.

Perhaps worth considering a bspwm-like workflow. Rather than minimizing windows, you put them onto another workspace. Just absolves you from dealing with the whole concept of minimized windows…

Lots of “modern” languages don’t interop terribly well with other languages, because they need a runtime environment to be executed.
So, if you want to call a Python function from Java, you need to start a Python runtime and somehow pass the arguments and the result back and forth (e.g. via CLI or network communication).

C, C++, Rust and a few other languages don’t need a runtime environment, because they get compiled down to machine code directly.
As such, you can call functions written in them directly, from virtually any programming language. You just need to agree how the data is laid out in memory. Well, and the general agreement for that memory layout is the C ABI. Basically, C has stayed the same for long enough that everyone just uses its native memory layout for interoperability.

And yeah, the Rust designers weren’t dumb, so they made sure that Rust can also use this C ABI pretty seamlessly. As such, you can call Rust-functions from C and C-functions from Rust, with just a bit of boilerplate in between.
This has also been battle-tested quite well already, as Mozilla used this to rewrite larger chunks of Firefox, where you have C++ using its C capabilities to talk to Rust and vice versa.
