Yeah. Here I am 26 days later effectively repeating the meme because I've started writing a project on Rust

No they probably wanted to hear how great some random Arch derivatives that does that thing 3 people are talking about

I'm not comfortable that Fedora and derivatives give the same stability opportunity as Atomic distros

Atomic distros + distrobox/toolbx. Bluefin is a good start for general desktop or Bazzite for gaming (But Bluefin can be more stable, I use it for some games with steam in flatpak). If something breaks roll back to any release in the last 90 days with a single command. Install all of your packages in a distrobox (Arch if you need it). Otherwise in general Fedora is pretty good.

I don't understand how "appalled" being strong language is so controversial, maybe everyone here is just a rude little shit.

I would have worded it like so:

Hi, I'm concerned about the BLOBs used in this repo as they are a security risk, making the code less auditable. It looks like we could generate these BLOBs in a github action or something so we can keep the fast build process while making it easier to audit the code. I'm not exactly sure how to go about this myself but I've done similar things in other projects, maybe you could point me in the right direction as I am unfamiliar with the ventoy build process? Thanks for the really cool project, and hopefully we can sort this out easily. Looking forward to your response.

I did it with less anger and entitlement and in less words

I had no idea you were anti-semetic! /s

I’m not saying don’t criticise it. It’s about communication. The language isn’t very good. See my other comments

Is this not rude:

I checked the code and I’m appalled. There are more BLOBs than source code

And this:

I understand that removing BLOBs isn't a priority over new and shiny features. But due to recent events, this should be rethought.

We didn’t like it when MS made an issue trying to direct ffmpeg

They should have opened with a complement or asked for directions if they didn’t know. In this message “Thank You” means fuck all

I didn't say they're wrong it's the way they communicated which I found off-putting and Gordon Ramsay -esque

 

Incase it doesn't show up:

 

I'm a big fan of this FOSS game and very excited for it's future, the game being around 20 years old

 

I'm developing a program in C++ targeting flatpak, since I'm on an immutable system I'd rather develop for flatpak than try using a container (plus I can't get SDL to open a window in a container anyway). Everything works with GNOME Builder but it's not as nice to use as vscode: less syntax highlighting, doesn't reopen where I left off, can't debug multiple instances (Not to say I don't like GNOME Builder - it's really good and will only get better, it's just slowing me down at this point). I managed to get the flatpak building and debugging from within code, using the vscode-flatpak extension the only thing not working properly is clangd. I am using the meson build system.

This is probably a bit of a long shot, but has anyone else tried to do this?

BTW I'm not talking about using clangd with the vscode flatpak package

 

They've run a couple of stories now about small businesses getting ripped off or "duped" in the beauty industry now. I'm not sure I'm meant to feel sorry for them—their entire industry is based on telling women that they don't look good enough.

 

Personally I believe this is a very poor take

 

With so many scams out there, especially now as we face the end of the financial year and the pinned "How to spot a tax scam" post being nearly a year old, I'm going to pin this thread as a place to share advice regarding scams or any new scams you might have noticed.

This isn't to say not to post scam related stuff in the main community but to create a place to keep track of scam related stuff which might get washed away over time.

 

Communities don't get cake days on Lemmy, but looking back at the posts in the Aussie Zone meta community, today 12/06 marks one year since @404@aussie.zone requested the community be created. Since then the top posts this community has had were:

  1. At 679 - 9 votes and 200 comments: YouTube Premium family plan price update ($17.99/month -> $32.99/month!) (by @trk@aussie.zone
  2. At 571 - 7 votes and 68 comments: The lack of ads! (by @Gbagginsthe3rd@aussie.zone)
  3. At 551 - 38 votes and 174 comments: Can we stop buying these stupid things? Thanks (by @R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I had a look sorting by controversial and I'm quite surprised that the referendum megathread, which bot recruit @dalekerrigan@aussie.zone kept reminding everyone about.

Within this first year we also participated in the first ever lemmyvision contest, with our nomination ranking 4th.

We've also appointed some extra moderators since the start of the year-@Fluid@aussie.zone, @bestusername@aussie.zone and @eatham@aussie.zone-who have been doing a great job at keeping conversations on track.

What were your favourite interactions and posts on this community over the year? And what would you like to see the community move towards in the years ahead?

Thanks everyone for the wonderful year!
