Computer Engineering For Big Babies

I love objects that teach and are fun to play with :)

I use the hover text too for discerning the name/nature of UI elements but when it comes to, say, being able to actually read my Fediverse stream in Ivory, that doesn't help much :)

And sure, i can use the full screen zoom feature, which is great, but then I'm trapped in zoomed box purgatory, constantly swooshing my tiny zoomed space around the larger screen.

It's miserable, and all because they've taken away one of the very features that drew me to Mac/IOS/Apple to begin with :(

Mostly? I have uncompressed FLAC encoded music on my Plex server, and I listen to that streaming through over ear (Bose NC-700) headphones on a computer, or on our home theater system (Monitor UK, 2 stand speakers, 2 rear wall speakers, 1 subwoofer) with an Onkyo receiver.

I also listen to Tidal hifi a bunch and electronica on youtube because some of the Boiler Room and other club mixes are pretty dope :)

You're very VERY late to this party, but as the person who created it I'm happy to remove it.

Would you be willing to expand on what you mean please? What is the philosophy of this sub?

Fun meme, but honestly I think the only folks it's gonna be a bad year for are AAA game devs, who I already sympathize with.

I think indies are gonna keep rocking some outstanding content. Content made with and for love will always beat content made for money IMO :)

Holy cow I'd love that too.

I want to buy a game, not an ongoing financial leeching.

Kinda disappointing how much of the community just takes a giant 💩 on Mozilla whatever it does these days. Funding open source is super crazy hard folks. Notice that the really successful well funded projects are fueled by megacorps?

Offering constructive criticism is great but if you don't have better ideas around how to fund an open browser without selling your soul to GOOG or MSFT then perhaps your energy might be better spent elsewhere.

Fantastic, I will check this out!

Now we just need to get projects to start using it and federating their source code :)

I suspect the other comment about Gitlab may have more adoption because lots of projects including some very large ones are already using that platform.

This. I've seen SO much hype and FUD and all the while there are thousands of developers grinding out code using these tools.

Does code quality suffer? ONLY in my experience if they have belt wielding bean counters forcing them to ship well before it's actually ready for prime time :)

The tools aren't perfect, and they most DEFINITELY aren't a panacea. The industry is in a huge contraction phase right now so I think we have a while before we have to worry about AI induced layoffs, and if that happens the folks doing the laying off are being incredibly short sighted and likely to have a high impact date with a wall coming in the near future anyway.

That's really great to hear! It's an incredible vision for an open source future not dependent on MegaCorps, and I am SO here for that!

So like, maybe distributed recommendations, reviews and the like? I could get behind that :)

Honestly I think that the entire landscape of science fiction awards has gone pear shaped and become hopelessly politicized.

And, like the hyper polarization of human society at large, I don't see a solution.

You'll always have the Sad Puppies (Vox Dei followers in sheep's clothing) versus the folks who see themselves as doing good by amplifying under-represented voices.

At the end of the day maybe these larger awards need to go away and be replaced by partisan versions, which is kind of a sad fate to contemplate.
