Stratospheric aerosol injection

straight into my veins

Personally I dream of a distributed ecs library, in the vein of spatialos

An actual good open source alternative to Premiere

olive might get there in a few years

Soy milk, rice milk, oat milk, they're all great. Personally I like changing things up from time to time.

It's just around the corner at this point. /s

lmao

pretty good way to be private from the general population (and companies!)

On some level that is true, sure. But it's important to keep in mind that usually, unless you're sending private encrypted messages, everything you post is public. It's an append-only log which also gets replicated onto many machines, possibly including strangers who could take it and post it online for everyone to see (or, once scuttlebutt gets large enough for this sort of behavior to become profitable, scrape for user data).

there’s no way that I immediately see to look over -all- public posts to see where the activity is

entire list is currently populated with porn

That sucks :( But it can also be used to illustrate an important point about the sort of essence of scuttlebutt, which is being pull-first. You must be “pulled-in” to join social circles. This means it's harder to get into any given circle, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Once you have established a presence on the network (meaning you have at least a few people follow you and replicate your feed) and are not reliant on public pubs, chances of getting unwanted porn are really quite low. It's a great example of what I would call grassroots moderation, where the task of blocking unwanted actors and content is spread out across all users in a way.

If you want people to replicate your feed you may want to introduce yourself on #new-people channel, at least that's where the introductions happen on the mainnet.

Is there some way to link an account between devices

As far as I'm aware there is no good way to do this. What people often do is they will make another feed ("account") on their phone and ask their friends to follow that one as well.

The thing I find most interesting about the scuttleverse is just how different the discussions there are from most other places online. The immutability of whatever you put on the network means that people tend to always triple check the stuff they send. Due to the nature of the tech there is also less focus on instant responses, which I personally like very much since I can take as much time as I like to respond and no one will judge me for it:)

populated almost exclusively by devs and programmers

I guess this is mostly due to scuttlebutt still being a cool new tech you would mostly hear about in programmer circles. It's still not mature enough for your regular facebook people to adopt too. I mean the internals are still running on javascript, which makes it much slower than it could be.

From my own experience with the ssb mainnet there are at least some non-programmer folks, perhaps you just didn't get a chance to sync with them yet?

let's make it 2000

it's a very simple connection to make

extremely simple

They will have to start doing this sooner or later I suppose, trying to maintain their influence and profits. As china's economy grows to two-three times that of the usa in the next 30 years, they (china) will become influencing the anglosaxon cyberspace more and more, forcing usa and other capitalist-imperialists to implement more visible censorship and protectionist propaganda. It's quite ironic really.

the speed is strong with this one

Good point. This was also true for me, I'm only getting more into C now after spending almost 3 years learning lower-level stuff with Rust.

Honestly it's funny coming from people who are openly using twitter

Glad that Rust has been mentioned. After all the more bugs we are able to weed out with the help of smarter compilers the less maintenance work is going to need to be done.

I'd just say it's a content aggregator site with a focus on communities.

True, most if not all aspects of our lives are political to some degree or another. It's very useful to think about politics as part of the social fabric, the operating system we're running as a society.

That results into carrying the ideology of their own surroundings, culturally influenced by ruling classes.

It does. For me this was one of the more depressing thoughts as I started to get a better grasp at what's going on with our societies nowadays. Circumventing this influence will be borderline impossible considering how "depoliticized" people have become.

Rust's beauty lies in the countless decisions made by the development community that constantly make you feel like you can have ten cakes and eat all of them too.

quote of the week is on point

long live the people's internet (づ￣ ³￣)づ

very cool, thanks for sharing

great news!

Jak w praktyce wychodzą takie eventy? Warto? Nigdy nie miałem okazji być na czymś takim.

• lemmy.network
• lemmy.world
• lemmy.space
• lemmy.works
• lemmy.center
• lemmy.town

I think it's taken though

regular people in politics? outlandish! /s

It's called electron 'cause it uses 10 times more electricity than your regular gui library.

Interesting takeaway for me trying to optimize for compile time was that many crates would include additional features by default, focusing on an "opt out" rather than "opt in" approach. I suppose it's nice as it tries to minimize friction, still it's interesting how much difference compile-time-wise some of this can make.

image crate for example by default includes functionality for dealing with all the different image types, possibly bringing additional dependencies into the picture, even though most projects only deal with one or two.

Even if one doesn't become a master vim user, which really requires some serious effort and possibly years of training, just learning the basics can already save time and just overall make programming more of a joyful experience.

I would say OpenShot and kdenlive are targeting slightly different groups of users, with OpenShot being the easiest editor to just pick up and use, and kdenlive requiring a bit more effort to learn. This ease of use aspect is often what the popularity on places like alternativeto boils down to.

From my limited experience with both programs, kdenlive seems to be the more useful one for now. Olive looks incredibly promising, it's way faster than kdenlive and the interface remids of professional editors like adobe premiere, but it's still too unstable and lacks many basic features.

It's a great initiative and we definitely need more people looking into this and spreading the knowledge.

setting up pre-configured details in the Raspberry Pi device

here's a pretty good example by some folks in canada:

So it's kinda like file.pizza but with some extra bells and whistles? Looks pretty good.
