Hmm don’t know why the image gets clipped. Is today a Mastodon or Lemmy issue?



Most open source developers don’t want to be messing about with non-profit admin tasks. This is why umbrella organisations like the Software Freedom Conservancy exist.


I wasn’t personally using C++, I was using relatively modern C which has had an homegrown object system added to it.



Is this what people who haven’t been introduced to #magit use?


This is why I leave a couple of hours break between coding and going to bed. If I don’t I may well sleep but my dreams are full of repeating code that I don’t wake up rested. Any “insights” from the dreams are usually wrong as well ☹️


It’s a fun co-op which I’ve played with my partner and my kids. It packs a lot of variety into it’s level design and is very well executed. Would recommend.


Yeah my kids don’t have gaming PCs (yet?) but have fun playing through a bunch of the plus stuff when they are not on Minecraft or (shudder) Roblox on their tablets.


Price rises aren’t welcome and the latest one does seem quite high. However I’ve been paying for plus since I got my PS4 and I’m still ok with it. Considering I maybe buy one game every two years for the price of another triple A game a year I’ve built up quite a library. The hours my partner has put into Spiritfarer, Slay the Spire and Hades indicates it’s still providing good value. Every month we at least check out the new games unless it’s a survival horror.

If I have one complaint it’s since I got off the CoD train as I got older when I do occasionally dip into the free ones via plus I find it very hard to find any online matches. I assume this is because all the hardcore players move pretty quickly to the current iteration leaving the lobbies of the older games empty.


There is a standardised boot flow. The SBSA architecture specifies minimum specs, firmware interfaces and how platform initialisation works. You can buy Windows on Arm machines that follow this and boot any modern Arm distro on them. It’s currently a small selection but it’s growing.


That was the flattr model but it never really took off.


I’m not so enamored with feeding the bloated behemoth that is Google but I do like the fact the revenue share with creators gets them more per view than they would with ad rolls. It’s a shame you still have to manually skip sponsorship sections on the mobile app.
