I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.
- AGPL. Strictest. You want a strict license. Don't let people take advantage of you. I see no good reason to pick GPL when AGPL exists.
- LGPL. If you want people to be able to use it (but not modify it) without their code having to be FLOSS as well. Still quite strict relatively with everything below.
- Apache. Permissive license. If you really want a permissive license, this is the one to go for.
- MIT. Permissive but less explicit. Okay for super short code.
Avoid at all costs CC0. CC0 explicitly does not give patent rights. MIT implicitly does.
Have there been scientific studies on humans being eaten alive by alligators? That alone doesn't feel like a reason to pursue it.
If it's so early in the cycle that they can't capture output from a PS5 (or even PS5 Dev Kit) then they shouldn't call it a gameplay trailer. It should be something like "first peek" or maybe "gameplay teaser".
Y'all aren't searching "1099" in your email during tax season?
Holy fuck. Melee depicts the characters as becoming Amiibos. Master Hand just might be the invisible hand. Comodifying beloved characters into plastic junk.
Their video content is pretty good.
Allow me to try and persuade you. The problem is bright blue LEDs. It's still stupid that they make them so bright, but the problem isn't the color. A hypothetical bright red, green, or amber LED would also be a problem.
Megaopolis and Babylon are weirdly similar to me and I can't really explain it. I enjoyed Megaopolis and would watch it again. Especially Wow Platinum lol. Such a weird movie. So many scenes were like "damn, I feel like this is supposed to be symbolic but I don't know for what." Sort of the opposite of "sometimes the curtains are just blue" lol.
Wikipedia seems to imply Madame Web (which is indeed an early 2024 movie) made $500k.
You say that, but Magenta is similar. It's a unique reaction in our perception to two different wavelengths of light combining. Magenta is not in the rainbow.
The root of all that is wrong with the gaming industry? That's definitely an unpopular opinion. I don't think I've seen anyone attribute the rampant misogy to always online single player experiences lol.
Someone, possibly a different person than sent the original Nicole spam, shared a gore image claiming it was Nicole dead.
That sentence was talking about revenge porn and doxxing. Men wouldn't be "looking to fuck" someone they're sharing revenge porn of.
How the fuck do you recommend DDLC when OP says non-violent?
OP, DDLC is a fun game, but there's a reason it's tagged psychological horror. It's not just a meme. I won't elaborate in case folks wanna try it out. I do suppose it is a "girly" horror though.
I feel like you're missing the forest for the trees here. Two things can be true. Yes, if you give AI a prompt that implies it should lie, you shouldn't be surprised when it lies. You're not wrong. Nobody is saying you're wrong. It's also true that LLMs don't really have "goals" because they're trained by examples. Their goal is, at the end of the day, mimicry. This is what the commenter was getting at.
Damn! If only we had some sort of technology that was OS independent and served as a way to view content and run code written for it without having to recompile for every platform.
I am of course talking about web browsers. Which I'm betting this screenshot is from.
So xkcd got a detail wrong? I'm cancelling my subscription!
I bet you could make a one liner to rename files with YYYY-MM-DD to 0YYYY-MM-DD fairly easily. Not a problem.
How do you write the number thirteen? 13 or 31? đŸ¤”
I feel like YYYYMMDD (without dashes) might be a format in ISO 8601, but I'm fully expecting to be corrected soon. But I didn't say think, I said feel. YYYYMMDD has a similar vibe to YYYY-MM-DD, ya feel me?
When uploading media to Discord, Google Photos is no longer showing in "browse media in other apps" on my Pixel 6.
It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.
I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.
Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.
Update 2: Alright, if I scroll to the photos instead of selecting "files" then go to "all albums" I see Google Photos. Not sure what changed to make it like this but at least now I know.
Did Jerboa add some full screen option or have I done something in Android?
Sorry, this is a little embarrassing lol. But my notification bar with the clock and battery don't show in Jerboa any more. Is this some full screen option in the app I've accidentally turned on or something in Android itself I've enabled for this app?
Thanks!
Good app to get a 3d layout of a room? Possibly a FLOSS one.
There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff.
I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.
Implications of removing make dependencies after install with yay

:: Remove make dependencies after install? [y/N] y
If I didn't remove make dependencies, would yay/pacman be smart enough to know the thing I am installing does not actually depend on them? It's a very nice feature of package managers that they track dependencies and can do things like remove "dangling" dependencies and I don't want to mess that up with some random dependencies needed only for a build. But I also don't want to install something every time I need to build lol.
So does yay and/or pacman know that the things I am installing don't actually depend on the make dependencies?
Solution: Keeping the make dependencies after install will not fool pacman and/or yay into thinking the make dependencies are "real" dependencies of whatever you're building from AUR. They both correctly recognize them as orphans (unless of course something else actually depends on them). So feel free to not remove them during install without worrying about dependency graphs gettin
D&D Beyond is garbage post 2024 update lol
I am trying to make a 2024 version of my paladin. I can pick Oath of Devotion because it is free. I can pick the Xanathar's options and Oathebreaker because they are from 2014 content I own, but I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they're in 2024 content I don't own. I can't use the Oath of the Ancients.
Are there specific terms for the different types of monetary inflation?
When talking about inflation there are two main types. I usually call them treasury and CPI inflation, but I don't necessarily know if those are widely used terms. By treasury inflation I refer to the total supply of money, like the inverse of federal interest rates basically. By CPI inflation I mean the change of the consumer price index over time. Both are useful, but depending on the context one may be more useful than the other.
Xbox 360 controller works, but will only properly connect if powered on during computer's sign in (either wake up from sleep or reboot)
If I turn my controller on, it won't connect. But if it's on when I turn my computer on (or restart/wake from sleep), it connects just fine. I am using the "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows". It's possible it's actually connected but not recognized by Steam or any games, but I am not sure how to troubleshoot that directly. The Arch wiki (linked) doesn't say anything about this specifically.
I am on CachyOS.
Any ideas? <3
Update: This somehow fixed itself. I don't think I even upgraded or anything since it was a problem.
Novel use of waste heat by UK company – but it's still in trial
The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan.
"We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator," he told The Register.
Edit, because I think folks may be confused due to the quote I put in. They are not installing crypto miners into water heaters. That was just their original inspiration. Sorry for the confusion.
"We're not looking at serving real time workloads, we're not doing websites, databases, message queue servers," Jordan explained. "Our ideal job is; here's a chunk of data, go and process that for some hours. And here's the result," he said.
This could still prove useful for 3D rendering workloads, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and others where there is a lot of CPU or GPU processing, he claimed.
KDE Accessibility, enable bounce keys with less than 100 ms?
A handy quick tool for blocking mechanical keyboard chatter. - FreneticLLC/KeyboardChatterBlocker
My Keyboard has a chattering problem. On Windows I was able to run a program that would detect this and fix it. I believe I could use the built-in keyboard bounce accessibility feature to solve this, but the lowest setting it will allow me to use is 100 ms. When I type normally I will sometimes push a key that fast (e.g., hitting backspace a lot or in a video game). Is it possible to lower this settings to something like 10 ms? Maybe via the terminal?
Edit:
Potential workaround found. In ~/.config/kaccessrc manually change it to something like 10. Save and reboot. It didn't seem to take hold if I didn't reboot. Even typing this now I am seeing some problems, but I also hear the ding indicating it is working. Change BounceKeysRejectBeep to false to get rid of the ding. A comment on the bug mentioned 40 ms, so maybe that's a good sweetspot.

Does multiplayer on Helldivers 2 on Arch (CachyOS) work for you?
For me it isn't working. Single player works fine. If Crossplay is ON I can see other games on the world map, but time out when joining the lobby. When I disable Crossplay I see none at all. (Yes, this is the opposite of what you might guess based on other issues people have mentioned where disabling Crossplay fixed it.)
Update: I switched to Proton 9 from the Cachy version and it works!
How can I fix keyboard chatter in software?
A handy quick tool for blocking mechanical keyboard chatter. - FreneticLLC/KeyboardChatterBlocker
On Windows I use the linked program. I tried using KDE's accessibility settings but the lowest time it can do it 100 ms, which I naturally do on occasion (mashing backspace quickly, for example). Is there any other solution?
Is there a way to automatically take a btrfs snapshot prior to upgrading?
I've seen some tools that do things like take snapshots periodically and ones that add snapshots to grub, but not this specifically. Does something exist?
This will probably be on EndeavourOS, not Arch directly, if it matters.
Can I transmit/receive audio from my computer through my radio using a programming cable?
Using one of those FTDI kenwood adapter programming cables. My gut feeling is no. It would be nice for things like sending/receiving SSTV images.
I am able to transmit if I use a double ended male 3.5 mm cable in the microphone hole of the radio and the headphones hole in my computer, but I have to hold down the PTT button. Also I have to turn the volume on my computer down a lot or else it is distorted. I suspect this has something to do with "line out" versus "headphones" voltage levels (I recall seeing some YouTube video discuss this).
RF radiation pattern image gallery?
Is there just a gallery of various antenna types/lengths and their radiation patterns anywhere? It seems like there are some programs to make them, but I can't seem to easily get them for Mac and I also don't need something super advanced. Just something showing various "standard" antenna types and their patterns for various wave lengths.
"Strong transmitters" near RTL-SDR.
I'm still pretty new to radio stuff and still learning. I have my technician license and have made a handful of contacts. For Christmas I got the RTL-SDR. It has a warning saying "DO NOT use near strong transmitters. Max input: +10 dBm." I am having difficulty understanding exactly what that means and whether I can use my handheld radios near it. These are cheap ~5W radios.
I'm curious about the practical and theoretical both, here. So a simple yes-or-no would be helpful, but I'd also like to know the math.
- Right now, I have a vertical half wave dipole (each leg is 48.8 cm, which I believe makes this a half wave dipole antenna for 146 MHz?) attached to my RTL-SDR. I've been trying to understand gain, but it seems tricky to find and understand the charts. This antenna came with the RTL-SDR, but it's telescoping and that's the length I have it at.
- My radio is 5W and uses a knockoff NA-771 type antenna.
I don't have any other sort of tool to measure the output of my handheld radio.
Duplicate listing of !til@lemmy.world in search
I'm not sure if this is a weird bug with the search or there's something weird in the database. It's also odd that they show different subscriber counts. Both link to !til@lemmy.world.
Edit: This is related to a known problem as Ategon mentioned. Disregard! :)
Okay, be honest, can I put my air fryer basket in the dish washer?
Update: Turns out I was too concerned. The manual actually says to use the top rack.
