but I cannot see background tasks either. I was suspecting it was something with the shell version or some missing shell extension :(
indeed, I do not know why I don't have it.
how to configure gnome-shell to show keyboard backlight (and others) ?
Hi,
I needed to change my machine to a new one (tuxedo gen9), and I quickly installed my distro of choice (manjaro-gnome), and configured it as the old machine (I am very conservative on this... I do not like the change as it introduces some friction in my workflow... I even have the same wallpaper from the last 10 years, heh :P).
Turns out, I am unable to "see" some options of the gnome-shell that were present in my older machine:
- keyboard backlight regulation (and it works, as I am able to regulate it with fn+space)
- background apps
I would like to bave them back... any hint on what I can be missing ?
Hi, great news, thanks for the hard work. I wonder why it requires iOS 16? I have an old iPad and can’t install it there :(
Oh, I agree with that (I use a selfhost solution -gitea- myself). I was just pointing to what I think is the current situation and why is like that :)
Well, keeping an infrastructure like github is very expensive. Other solutions like gitlab are no real solution as gitlab itself is also not completely FOSS. Codeberg is a relatively new kid in the block, and sustainability in the long term is still not proven. Gitea/Forjego requires you to selfhost your repositories and that's something not everybody can afford/take the time to do.
So, we have a situation of a standard de facto, when one company took the space and constitued a monopoly, forcing the users to use it or be invisible otherwise.
So, there you have the reason: visibility in a market dominated by just one actor.
How to fight this situation? There is no much way as individuals, a partial solution is to use a FOSS solution and then mirror on github for visibility. Of course this is limited as individual solutions wont change collective problems, but FOSS groups doing the same are no longer individuals but communities so with time we may have a way to get out...
EDIT: s/go/get
lol, I was doing exactly the same, mostly because the gnome app for it (webapp-manager) does not do one thing I badly want : open all non-app links in the default browser and not on instances of itself.
Also, I love the webkitgtk project and this allows me to give it an usage.
I will give a look at your project, I think is better contribute to it than have two (or more) projects doing the same 😜
It's a Smalltalk. I do not like to compare languages because each one has its own merits, but until now, I do not think there is an environment that matches what Smalltalk (and Pharo) provides (which is just understandable by using it, heh)
Ok, I admit I do not understand why it is returning an error (link is good, however)
Pharo, the immersive programing language, has released its version 12 !
Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback (think IDE and OS rolled into one).
how to guard a door?
So, I just dealt with a kobold thief and of course he escaped. I read somewhere that to avoid thieves best thing is to "chain a tamed animal" to the entrance... only problem is I have no idea how to do that. Any advice? Thanks!
"meme" integration for matrix?
Hi, I know this is a stupid request, but I recently moved a small community from discord and my users want to add memes to their conversations... is there some integration that adds this to a synapse server? Thanks!
admin resources to clean synapse server (docker)
Hi, I have a small server to sustain a small community (discord like, but for internal consumption). My users also lurk into some big external communities... I am looking admin resources to keep my instance small... something like the possibility to remove old data, etc. I know I can log in the database and do stuff, but I'd prefer something more human friendly ;) Thanks!
Mind to elaborate a little bit more about the Manjaro problem? I am driving it since a couple of years without any issue but I keep hearing this… now I am afraid :)
how to deal with magma?
So... I just hit magma... bah... I looked for it! I dug like 150 levels until I got some warm, and now I realize I have no idea what to do with it. Any advice on how to handle the thing? Thanks!
well, I has been already years using Manjaro and never happened to me.
Not that it can't, but never happened to me and I hope it wont :)
This is nice!
Still, I would like to have an equal list of non GAFAM channels, heh.
I know "The Linux Experiment" (the best of those channels IMO) has a peertube:
https://tilvids.com/c/thelinuxexperiment_channel
any other around?
I turned on my computer and started to play mass effect 2... during 48h.
Slept a bit.
Call my family and friends to go out and not be alone.
Continue living.
Two years later I met my actual partner and we have a beautiful life with two incredible kids.
Just remember: losing someone hurts but is not the end, the heart heals.
yes, I know that :) What I want is a way to make, for example, rivers that traverses more than one "cell". Or to force a mountain range.
help with large map (possible infinite) grid world map generation
Hi,
I want to do a large (very large, think about 50k x 50k) hex world map... I want something like the hexmap made here: https://github.com/eranimo/hexgen (excellent generator, btw). I know I can use a noise function to obtain most of this (like heightmap, temperatures, moisture, etc.), but I know the x,y approach and noise has limitations when one wants to work by zones (for example, to make rivers or design zones like this is more mountains, this is a lakes zone, etc.) as explained here: https://www.redblobgames.com/maps/terrain-from-noise/
does someone knows how can I overcome this problem ?
thanks !
I love Pharo :) All the power of a Smalltalk for the 21 century, a small but very nice community, decent library support (but not huge), and a good FFI interface when this is not enough.
where to start?
Hi,
I'd like to explore the possibilities of training a LM to learn a specific programming language so he can be used as co-pilot in that context. Language is a niche language (http://pharo.org), and there is no existing model nowadays knowing it (also, I want to make some extra tweaks, once I have it). Thing is... I have no idea where to start! :)
Any hint where can I learn the ropes?
Thanks!
what will "delete" key do? archive or move to trash?
Hi,
I am sorry for the stupid question, but I am having problems to find a mail I deleted and I wonder if the "delete" key will archive them as with gmail (and most clients nowadays) or it will actually remove it. I am pretty new to thunderbird, I started to use it after supernova, so I am not very used to it.
Thanks in advance
This is what Smalltalk is all about, and it has been like that since it’s origin: you basically program in the debugger, you program running, you change something, you proceed the debugger, etc. That’s why technics like TDD, refactoring, and others were developed in Smalltalk and just later translated to other languages (and always lacking, since no one reproduces the live programming experience 100%). As the time passed, attention has moved to other languages and most people not ignores what it was to program like that. But there are still some implementations around: I work with Pharo (https://pharo.org), and I can to say is all what you ask for in this post :)
Which GPL-like licence for object oriented?
Hello, I work on Pharo, an open source derivative of Smalltalk. Pharo is licensed under MIT hence most of my work needs to be licensed also under MIT.
However, time to time I have some projects in my free time that I made for my personal usage or for friends, and in those cases I am not OK with my work being used by for-profit project not giving anything back. I would very much prefer to use GPLv3 on those cases, but my understanding of licensing is very poor and I have been told there is a "virus" behavior on GPLv3 that may prevent people to use at all what I do, and that's not my intention.
Do you have any advice how to handle this?

Not many of us here, but we need to start somewhere :) I am creating this point to link some resources those interested on procedural generation can find interesting:

Enjoy... and please add the resources you may know here :)
feature request: instance bookmarks
Hello,
I lurk into some thematic instances very often, without being necessarily subscribed to all communities there, but this is a hard task to do as lemmy is right now: I need to know the instance as first, then I need to open it in another window... and finally, if I decide I want to subscribe to a community there I need to comeback to my own instance and look for the community to hit the join button.
I think it would be a nice addition to be able to bookmark instances and then browse their local feed by clicking there... a super extra bonus would be being able to subscribe to extra-communities from there.
