Otaku, gamer, self-taught programming student and professional procrastinator from Brazil. In fact, I am procrastinating at this very moment. I love boomer shooters too.
I strongly disagree. Multiple times I’ve been playing a game and a friend saw my Discord status and chatted with me about it. It’s just another way for my friends to see my interests, nothing new on the internet.
Would I want this status to be displayed somewhere else (especially a more FOSSy place)? Hell yeah. But there isn’t any, and the people that rarely talk to me and are into gaming, aren’t, unfortunately, on anywhere else but Discord.
labor unions based as always!!! brasil!! 🇧🇷
wow! I love the technical part of GUI programming, and that, for me, was a great article! props to alex.
A lot of people do use Bookwyrm! It just depends on finding the right community.
I am on a fairly small brazilian instance (velhaestante.com.br) and even though I joined while not knowing anybody I still get a fair amount of interactivity. Not enough to be logging in every day, of course, our instance is not nearly as big as something like bookwyrm.social and I don’t read and update that often.
It’s just like any other fediverse software. Even on a small instance you can get a fair level of interactivity and on top of that you can still interact with big instances and large amounts of content! Of course, if you just create an account and forget about it, or you don’t use it very often, and don’t seek out interactions/following other people, of course you won’t get the same level of content in your feed as if you were on GoodReads.
That’s the charm of the fediverse!
I’m glad that they chose the AGPL when open-sourcing their server. I don’t see that many companies, especially ones offering a “product”, open-sourcing their work with a copyleft license.
oh yeah, I heard about the already forked projects before, certainly awesome that people already have that option. I do use Aniyomi, and it’s pretty damn good.
For some reason I’ve never felt like I needed extra features that the main project didn’t have, so I’ve never looked out for forks. But looking at some of the forks right now they seem pretty good as well and do have features that would be super useful to me. Certainly will try it out.
FOSS is so amazing.
i’m so fucking sad that a shitty¹ company was able to bully a 100% legal piece of FOSS to shut down.
It is THE best app for reading manga, and it single-handedly started my love and (healthy) addiction to reading manga lol. It’s also one of the best examples on how a FOSS model is superior to any competitive proprietary one.
I hope so much luck to the devs and every contributor. Their work through all these years is immeasurable. Makes me regret a little for not trying to contribute to the community with some code at a time I was wanting to. Thanks for all the hours of fun reading manga. I’m sure at this very moment people are already organizing a fork to live on Tachiyomi’s legacy, as is the spirit of FOSS.
weird. for me, the “hard engine and framework stuff” is the fun part, while the content creation is not boring, but just very hard for me :P
Celeste screenshots, because every scenario in that game is beautiful. And it’s one of my favorite games of all time.
Here is my favorite one:
codeberg is great! the community there seems to be interested in growing the platform and developing tools as useful as those on GitLab/GitHub.
I too just turned into a Marxist after finding out about Linux and software freedom in 2020 lol
I think there might be more than a handful of us. Welcome, comrade.
oops, something went wrong while I was typing it. fixed, thanks
there’s also a multiplatform implementation in Go
it’s just capitalism being the abhorrent shit it always was.
“Alternatives like Searx or YaCy all fucking sucks so I made my own thing.” (about 4get)
damn. based.
maybe you’re looking for something like LiveSplit?
that’s so cool! I honestly never thought about using Skia to render a game, but it seems like a good option especially when it’s simple 2D graphics that’s being deployed on the web as well.
well, if I have an object on the heap and I want a lot of things to use it at the same time, a shared_ptr is the first thing I reach for. If I have an object on the heap and I want to enforce that no one else but the current scope can use it, I always reach for a unique_ptr. Of course, I know you know all of this, you have used it almost daily for 7 years.
In my vision, I could use a raw pointer, but I would have to worry about the lifetime of every object that uses it and make sure that it is safe. I would rather be safe that those bugs probably won’t happen, and focus my thinking time on fixing other bugs. Not to mention that when using raw pointers the code might get more confusing, when I rather explicitly specify what I want the object lifetime to be just by using a smart pointer.
Of course, I don’t really care how you code your stuff, if you are comfortable in it. Though I am interested in your point of view in this. I don’t think I’ve come across many people that actually prefer using raw pointer on modern C++.
