Fuck this ICE mask bullshit in c/[email protected]

They're identifying themselves as ICE. Who they actually are is up for debate. They seemed to have rushed this so bad that they don't have proper identification at all and do not care to.

Should remind them of that.

Nothing in particular, but I'm happy to answer questions. Getting to know other community makerspaces in the region is a good idea. Everyone was winging it, but figured it out.

JavaScript programming in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 27 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

I'd like full stack developers to try something. Next time you have an itch for a personal project, see if you can make it with no frontend JavaScript. Just some CSS and HTML forms. All templating handled on the backend. Just try it and see how far you get. Don't worry if it looks like a GeoCities page.

Then try finding places where JavaScript would make it more responsive or better UX in some way. Does the back button still work? Is it actually faster? Does it provide any benefit at all?

Maybe it does, but just try.

Interesting. I wonder if the canister could fit in a modern microsat. Might be possible to recreate it for (relatively) cheap.

Fancy idea, how about power to the people... in c/[email protected]

Interesting to work through the counterfactual on that. A lot of people seem to forget how the early Tea Party started. An awful lot of them pretended that they weren't the same people supporting GWB all along.

So what happens if Obama does decide to prosecute members of the former admin? Does the Tea Party keep the ruse, or do they go to bat for them? How does that affect the outcome in the 2010 midterms?

Perhaps it would have made the Tea Party's astroturfing more apparent to everyone.

There's something ironic about the Trump Mobile site having a GDPR cookie notice.

Oh, yeah, once you break down everything happening in Factorio or Satisfactory, it's pretty quickly apparent that you're the bad guy in this story. I often hum "Paved Paradise, put up a parking lot" while playing them.

Sure, but the important point is that they know how to do better than they did. They're refusing on purpose.

After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft. (midwest.social)
 

There might be a good reason for this. Raster effects were already really good in newer games, and ray tracing could only improve on that high bar. It's filling in details that are barely noticeable, but creap ever so slightly closer to photorealism.

Old games start from a low bar, so ray tracing has dramatic improvement.

Link broken in app (midwest.social)
 

Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

https://midwest.social/post/10123989

The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

Post link sometimes goes to the wrong place (midwest.social)
 

Here's the post in question: https://midwest.social/post/10123989

Which linked to my blog here: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html

On my instance (midwest.social), this works fine. However, some other users were reporting a broken link, and I also see a broken link when using my mobile app (Summit). When it breaks, I see these calls in the server logs:

  • GET /api/v3/post?id=2024
  • GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All

Which appear to be Lemmy API calls with some of the actual link data built in.
