Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

Thanks for the names!

That’s… a very good idea. I should do that anyway.

Forgejo for projects and syncthing for data is probably perfect, thank you!

I tried with both, but I didn’t figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it’s in a context menu in nautilus, without it’s in the desktop app).

it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it’s not the right tool for the job here.

I don’t want to “have the folders connected”, I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

I have. It hasn’t worked very well for me, the docs weren’t great (though I’m looking at them now and they do seem better?) and it broke in strange ways.

Messages from my friends are the one kind of message I don’t do this on, because I’m way too online and also doing anything mean to my friends makes me feel way too guilty (and I mostly fuel my motivation through guilt and fear of failure)

FUCK I put a snack in the freezer like… 5 days ago? And completely forgot about it until now

This will happen again I can’t fetch it right now

You missed the point of the comment you’re replying to. To a lot of people, garden-variety binary trans people are “absurd and contradictory to reality”. To even more people, nonbinary people are.

Blahaj lemmy’s admins have decided that they will not draw a line, because they don’t want to be the arbiters of what is valid. That does mean some extreme cases don’t get decided the way you would, and that’s fine! Just block those cases.

Whatever identity they have, I don’t care. The internet’s big enough for everyone. It’s not my problem, not my life, live and let live.

If you haven’t already, try out KDE’s Krita. Incredible piece of software, much better for drawing imo

Ngl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say

The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising […]

And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their “inclusivity” policy… we also don’t know what was reported, only the reasons stated.

Not saying that it wasn’t unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it’s written in a way that raises some red flags.

Is it for sure Microsoft?

Wow, I didn’t know that! That’s absolutely wild

… The root of the thread you’re replying’s main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.

I’m assuming this is referring to JSO.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stop_Oil

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

Yes, a lot of their protests are “awareness” stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it’s not just that. The UK isn’t an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.

Ahh, that makes sense. Powers of two are real convenient. Your math is a little wrong though: X != (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8), but X = (X & 0xFF) + (X >> 8) << 8 The right half can be removed entirely if you’re doing modulo 16, since the first 4 bits will always be 0. So it simply becomes X & 15! Much cleaner for sure.

Would you happen to remember what the optimization was, mathematically?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20036698/subdivide-a-modulo-function-16-bit-but-can-only-do-8-bits-at-a-time#20036828 seems to say that it’s “impossible afaik”, and I can’t seem to optimize it myself (though this kind of math isn’t my forte)

I’m not an OS dev, I have no idea how stuff this low-level works.

I’d suggest some kind of “press this key to view debug information” text (or make it documented but not visible, to avoid people just pressing whatever button is written on the screen)

It completely breaks them, currently: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

This applies to at least NewPipe and yt-dlp, probably basically every such tool. Also, if you use logged-in cookies and download, they sometimes ban your account! Fun!

… which is why youtube has recently started blocking non-logged in users
