Hue released as AGPL-3.0

Just use both. vscode + copilot for autocomplete and antigravity for prompting. My main editor is vscode and I do heavy manual edits, and I also heavily use antigravity. I feel like I've become very productive and not actually renouncing the ways of the programmer, but augmenting them, as long as I'm careful enough with the generated code by checking every file it touched.

Some months ago I made this Morse Code Universe where people travel through zones, stumble upon each other, and communicate in morse code.

https://mall.merkoba.com/

All they can do is use morse code to communicate, even the names are assigned automatically. There is a zone map with hundreds of zones, zones with recent activity get a red hue. Secret zones can be unlocked if you happen to use one of the sekrit morse code words.

It's a casual mmorpg/townsquare that is fundamentally safe since the best you can do is focus to type a very offensive word in 20 seconds.

I stumbled upon some random people who visited the site as I was developing it. Taught some the words to enter the secret zones as a game, took them on a tour. Also met a morse code aficionado and we had a little conversation in morse code, eventually met him in another site I have.

Concerning globo-list. Centralization/takeover, aka an eventual "we will manage you"; which might be the true colors of the Linux Foundation. Forks would just get absorbed and used internally instead of depending on the performance of random informal earth citizens. The site is not even pleasant to read with that font. Villainy is parodied in this world heavily, names like Discord, Palantir, AI Companies talking about doom scenarios and enjoying it: so it's cool and expected to be a villain, to wrestle with the other kinds of power. I just want some fresh choices to polish the kind of company I want to get around me, which would likely be the opposite of who signed that letter.

Felicidades. Sometimes I think about returning to a public university to have something structured to do, especially since I've been in a way educating myself through AI and I appreciate the idea of an environment dedicated to people with a similar intellectual interest. I don't really care about academia, if I do it it would be an experimental change of environment. If there is even a place for people like me in that public university at all (older people).

Made entirely in Python, it has a lot of stuff and polish, custom widgets, very lightweight.

And recently I added an API so python scripts can be made to interface with the models and the interface.

It's optional, you need to do something to enable the feature that uses it. I use it for a thing I called Booster which enables this permission so I can add some fixers for some sites like youtube, personal stuff, absolutely not required.

Thank you. I made some improvements including your suggestions. For the field-on-first click procedure I just reserved some space around the clicked item when placing the mines and that seems to work, though the size of the fields can be different. I'm thinking of maybe implementing some grid generation algorithm where guessing is not not necessary. The minesweeper here is supposed to do just that: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ "The first square you open is guaranteed to be safe, and (by default) you are guaranteed to be able to solve the whole grid by deduction rather than guesswork. (Deductions may require you to think about the total number of mines.)"

Git is too hard 6 years ago

Somebody should make a GUI application that the ONLY thing it does is undoing a push to a repo, or several pushes. That's a common scenario.

KDE Plasma 5.20 6 years ago

A nice solution is to simply put each icon/task of the same application side by side, so for instance you get 3 firefox icons in a row in the taskbar/dock, that's what I do, there's enough space anyway. That way you can quickly tell what's open and switch to them.

Tip: Don't use generic names like johnsmith@whatever. It might be your name but a lot of John Smiths are going to use that account on a variety of services they use, for some reason. If you do that prepare to receive a bunch of registration and password reset emails. I even got linked with some guy in another country who did a very expensive Uber ride, which was kindof scary.

And tabs. And drag-dropping things by accident doesn't simply move/copy files but asks you what you want to do.

Progress on Plasma 6 years ago

To me the problem with bloat is that it makes projects harder to maintain, also more bugs, not so much about ram usage. If the system in place makes sure the codebase is easily understood and adopted by contributors, then by all means, make all the crazy features you can think of.
