  • How I Use Git Worktrees - Alex Kladov

    Jump

  • The different worktrees share the same .git state. The article has an example where the author uses one tree for writing code and one for fuzzing it. If they used multiple clones they'd have to push from the writing directory and pull from the fuzzing directory to get new commits to fuzz but with worktrees this state synchronization between different git directories happens automatically.

  • "Desired" and "Admired" are very strangle labels, it like the question(s) might have been:

    Which development environments did you use regularly over the past year, and which do you want to work with over the next year? Please check all that apply.

    In which case VSCodes high "desired" score just means that it was widely used?

  • "GitHub" Is Starting to Feel Like Legacy Software

    Jump

  • There's a difference between the author being mad that github is switching to react and the author being mad that github is misusing react. It is possible to use react without breaking browsers find in page functionality, which is ultimately what the author is frustrated about.

  • Firefox enables user tracking

  • Yeah the title of the post makes it sound much worse than what it seems to be in practice? Maybe I'm just naive

  • Linux geeks cheer as Arm wrestles x86 • The Register

    Jump

  • Well right now most people develop apps supporting x86 and leaves everything else behind. If they're supporting x86 + arm, maybe adding riscv as a third option would be a smaller step than adding a second architecture

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

  • I think that it's quite bad if Microsoft puts peoples family photos on their servers without the user realizing it. That's not a niche privacy nerd sentiment, I think that a lot of people would find that creepy. Having the option easily available can be really good for a lot of non-techy people but it should be very clear what stays on your computer and what doesn't, and how to keep something private if you want to, which I'm not sure that it is if Microsoft quietly backs up Documents, Pictures etc.

  • Yes, you can have shaders in the terminal.

  • Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should

  • Post-YouTube: Why Aren't We Embracing IPFS?

    Jump

  • I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I think that people are more likely to put up money if they believe in the model instead of because they are being nagged into it. For example, I have a nebula subscription that I happily pay while I refuse to pay for a yt subscription despite the fact that I watch youtube a lot more. This is more out of spite towards youtube than it not being worth the money (it probably is to be honest). I also donate money to wikipedia while I haven't ever considered shelling out for encyclopedia britannica for example.

    Video hosting is of course very expensive so I understand that it's harder to fund wikipedia-style than wikipedia. People are probably happy paying creators they like but less so spending a ton of money on infrastructure.

  • Amber - the programming language compiled to Bash

    Jump

  • Looking at the example

    Why does the generated bash look like that? Is this more safe somehow than a more straighforward bash if or does it just generate needlessly complicated bash?

    Bluesky confirms Jack Dorsey is no longer on its board

    Jump

  • I think he was still on the board after he closed his account, him leaving the board might be much more recent

  • Morrowind is overly Morrowind

    Jump

  • I heart vanilla is a good modlist which has some basic bugfixes and minor but faithful graphical improvements. If you wanna make the game look even better, then Volumetric Clouds, Remiros Groundcover (or some other groundcover mod) and Normal Maps for Everything are some of my top recommendations. If you wanna go crazy then there is also a modlist on the same site called graphical overhaul, but I think that it's worth sticking to a more vanilla aesthetic for a bit just so you have that as a frame of reference.

    OpenMW (or, alternatively MGE XE if you want to use the original engine for whatever reason) already have some nice graphical improvements baked into them though.

  • Morrowind is overly Morrowind

    Jump

  • I don't think that the driving the empire from Morrowind ever happens in game, but maybe it technically comes true as a concequence of the Red Year which in turn is a concequence of the Tribunal losing their power because of the ending of the main quest. It's interesting that Uriel Septim sets the prophecy in motion knowing that this is part of it.

    The Tribunal where losing their power anyway, but I suppose that Dagoth Ur could have kept Bar Dau in its place if he'd won, but then everyone would have been transformed into a corpus zombie instead.

    The Red Year isn't part of Morrowind lore, but "what is going to happen with Bar Dau now?" is kind of an open question at the end of the game so it is an event that absolutely builds on things set up in Morrowind

  • It's weird to have something that verbose for using in the shell. I don't want to use verbose commands when just doing stuff interactively, so I never learn how to really use its features as a concequence. Bash, while it has more footguns, is more readable to me because I'm more familiar with the individual commands. For most programing you spend more time reading it than writing it, but that's not the case for the shell so there it's the wrong tradeoff imo.

  • open letter to the NixOS foundation

    Jump

  • Don't know anything about this particular case so while "social engineering to create a backdoor" is certainly a possibility, so is the more straightforward explanation that it is drama about real or perceived problems in the nix community. I think that it's dangerous to dismiss this altogether because of the recent xz debacle.

  • Fallout 4

    Jump

  • I thought fo4 was underwhelming, but I'm exited to play the fallout 4: london mod which is supposed to drop as soon as possible after the patch, depending on how quickly the script extender gets updated to work with the new version.

    It's set before fallout 1 I think and it won't have a lot of fallout staples like the pip boy, super mutants or the brotherhood of steel which I think will be a nice change since it feels like Bethesda have overused them a lot. A lot of the promotional material looks fantastic and they seem to have a lot of cool ideas and a professional approach to modding.

    The new vegas modding community has kind of a bad track record when it comes to large modding projects but I feel optimistic about folon, but it might be good to temper that optimism with a little bit of caution anyway.

  • I've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux

    Jump

  • You should, there's a lot of cool stuff going on in the Morrowind community and now is a really good time to get (back) into the game. Province: Cyrodiil, which has adding cyrodiil as based on Morrowind-era lore to the game as a goal, is set to release have its first major release later this year. I've also been getting into tes3mp lately which is a fork of OpenMW for multiplayer.

    As a big fan of the neverwinter nights community,

    You might appreciate this April fools joke from the OpenMW team then :D

  • I've never played games. Suggest a couple of addictive games I can play on Linux

    Jump

  • This might not be what you mean when you say "addictive", but since I've been addicted to it for the last half year or so, I'm gonna suggest it anyway: Morrowind.

    While the original came out in 2002 for Windows and later Xbox, there's been a fan remake of the engine which runs on linux (and windows and macos) called OpenMW.

    It's an open world role playing game about exploring the island of Vvardenfell, which is a strange and alien place that's easy to lose yourself in. Most of the wildlife is made up of insect- or dinosaur like creatures. There are forests made up of giant mushrooms, and ancient wizard lords who use magic to grow mushrooms into buildings that you have to be able to fly to navigate. It's a world with a rich history, featuring several different religions, cultures and overlapping and competing political structures.

    Despite its age, it is to this day a game with a very active modding community which can extend and improve the games mechanics and visuals. It also features what is probably the longest running active modding project, Tamriel rebuilt which seeks to add the rest of the province of Morrowind to the game. It's about half way done and has basically another game worth of content in it at this point.
