Upvoting a news article does not remotely imply celebration of the news

Pulling a Steven Bradbury

Partitioning is something I don’t mess with on the terminal. Last time I set up a new drive I used SystemRescueCD first just to use gParted before installing arch (manually)

What was your experience with Inkscape and Godot? I have those both installed from repo.

I’ve never felt the need to use flatpak at all on arch.

So… they did it for exposure

Check ArchLinux.org for news before you kick off an update. It’s got an RSS feed and a mailing list if that helps.

Read the Wiki, and turn to it first for any issues you have.

This one may be a special “me” problem, but if you’re manually interacting with wpa_supplicant, stop and go read the Networking page in the Wiki again.

Learn how to use journalctl (at least superficially) before something goes wrong.

Generally you want to restart after an update to the kernel or graphics drivers or things start degrading strangely.

I had to have a look at the current situation, Gulf of Mexico currently has no fewer than 39 names listed

There is also an ongoing discussion about the executive order. From what I saw it seems to be leaning in favour of adding an official_name:en-US tag if the order gets recognised by a relevant body e.g the US Board of Geographic names. Notably this is not the primary name tag.

OSM treats official names as tertiary to signage and local usage. It’s also not chiefly American so doesn’t have much reason to favour their usage over other countries’.

Mind that you can also have many names for one thing in OSM so it will probably be noted in there somewhere.

Any suggestions on where to order lenses from?

What is “it”? Webmentions? Webmentions can be sent from anywhere, not just places you’re actively monitoring. They can be used for example to create a comments section on your blog which amalgamates comments from various syndication points.

That is, you post to your blog, you post a link to your blog post to twitter/Facebook/lemmy etc, and comments or replies from any of those can show up on your blog itself if you so choose.

Needs some HQx scaling

I love this so much and I don’t have any games that can use it.

IndieWeb in general and the h-entry and WebMentions specifically.

Collectively they promise a highly personalised web experience that maintains ownership of your own content while encouraging socialisation across platforms, while avoiding the sustainability and scale limitations of activitypub.

I also want to see XMPP/OMEMO have a comeback.

Combining the red light is common in Australia but I don’t think the amber light is ever combined.

Example from image search:

I think it mostly looks odd to me because of how individual and free floating your lights appear

What is actually going on with this traffic light?

Edit: on further inspection this is covered in the article

Aw man, I’m on Diaspora and I didn’t even recognise the logo.

Birds aren’t somewhat related to dinosaurs, birds ARE dinosaurs. You can have a dinosaur dance party right now with a bunch of cockatiels.

Reminder that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is made up and the types don’t matter

The perceived accuracy of test results relies on the Barnum effect, flattery, and confirmation bias, leading participants to personally identify with descriptions that are somewhat desirable, vague, and widely applicable.[10] As a psychometric indicator, the test exhibits significant deficiencies, including poor validity, poor reliability, measuring supposedly dichotomous categories that are not independent, and not being comprehensive.[11][12][13][14]
