I don’t see any mention of an ML assistant?

Sorry about that.

As a side note; An ‘/s’, used to indicate sarcasm, would have made it clear to me that it is a joke.

If it was intended as a joke, I don’t see what would indicate it as such.

There are comments and people that like to spin this story. So I assume that’s what the comment was. Meaning what it’s saying.

I do ask when things are unclear or to open up the other party to elaborate on their views or meanings. I don’t know what I could have asked here though.

I took no [personal] offense. I replied because I did not want to let that outlandish, divisive, conspiracy claim stand without any refute or criticism.

All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.

With the right joystick in place, it’s certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.

Not like you think it is. It’s not a small exclusive club where they do what they want in a planned manner and only to their own gain and amusement.

What do you think about no preservations from 100 years ago? 1000? 2000?

We could certainly continue to live and evolve and make the same mistakes again without such history. But it gives us historic context, fills our curiosity, and allows us to analyze long term developments.

Video games are a cultural good. Like music. Music was, is, and remains part of our culture. It enriches us. It’s useful for entertainment, for creativity, for curiosity, and to share culture and interests with one another.

I imagine preservation fulfills our innate desire to collect and preserve what we gained. Loss of what we find meaningful or influential sparks negative emotions.

Why does the repo have a different icon than the addon? Very confusing.

I’ve been using Gesturefy for many years. I’m making heavy use of next, prev, close, reload tab actions. Sometimes I use primarily keyboard, and sometimes primarily the mouse. Left or right hand, combined, or just one of the two. I love Gesturefy.

It’s because they represent the people that they have to investigate whether the platform acted as a neutral platform or as a manipulative foreign agent sabotaging society.

• Awareness of influence - of private and foreign huge social media platforms onto public discourse, opinion development, and political landscape
• Increasing foreign agent campaigns to influence and sabotage Europe governments and society
• Increased awareness of such foreign influences
• Unexpected/Unpredictable shifts in popularity [is how I read it]

with many concerns focused on how a TikTok campaign managed to propel an unknown candidate from obscurity

Looks like the target page got removed. It no longer exists, nor does a search yield an article on their site.

What question are you asking?

If that’s how you understand communism/a communist country to be, and that’s not the case, then obviously evidently it is not a communist country.

I didn’t read it as with urgency like “breaking news!” but as an assessment or statement. Which seems fitting for “documenting stuff”.

Do they drop coins when you punch them? Like in a videogame?

Finally releasing a v1, already working on a switch from GTK to Qt v2.

What’s your problem with ADL? I’m not very familiar with them.

I mentioned it in a comment in the last post.

Really cool gimmick. Especially that you can use the gravity gun not only on the can, but all the website elements.

The article is pretty bad.

It argues in bad faith against GitHub, conflates addressing the reader and their own community (suddenly “we …”), fails to see how despite not being FOSS you can be pro FOSS, names the vendor lock-in but fails to present advantages and disadvantages… I think the tone is pretty bad as well.

For the most part, I dislike when projects and people self-host. It’s a barrier to me to read and participate. Different interface and UX, no account, different needs for registration, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, unclear long-term stability.

I like Forgejo and Codeberg. It has a good and well-known user interface, is fast to use, FOSS, and has a centralized platform., and is working on federation which could ease pain points of distributed and split hosting.

I find SourceHut UI unstructured; very confusing.

When GitLab came up, there was a time when I used it for my new projects, and moved some onto there, but eventually moved back to GitHub. Hosting it myself at work; self-hosting it is huge, heavy, bloated.

The main reasons I still use GitHub are that it is free, feature-rich, fast, familiar, and one platform. I much prefer a low barrier to entry and uniform between projects as long as GitHub acts well enough, even if it is not FOSS itself.

I would hate to see people follow this article and further spread out FOSS, increasing barriers to entry. I have left exploring projects and contributing because of that barrier on multiple occasions and projects.

I’m hopeful for Codeberg and Forgejo. Codeberg can serve as a centralized platform already. Should Federation land, it can serve as a base for self-hosted instances, reducing many pain points of a heterogeneous and self-hosted-distributed field.

Side story: When SourceForge became shit, I created and executed an issue ticket migration for a significant FOSS project. Thankfully we can change platforms like that when you’re not fully locked in but have accessible or natively distributable data.

yt-dlp has SponsorBlock support/integration. So if the community provided the information, it can be dropped.
