IMO, go’s gopher is ugly, not cute. But, anyway, there are better reasons not to learn Go.

For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:


<span style="color:#323232;">if err != nil {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    ...
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

And it doesn’t even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.

Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang’s design principle is to implement only the required minimum.

And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the “all seeing eye of Sauron”. There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn’t trust google or any other mega-corporation.

I have all apps I use daily in the appimage format. Yesterday I decided to try btrfs for my root partition and did my annual Linux reinstall. All my apps were already there and ready for work from the start.
I also have a usb flashdrive always on me with the same appimages. Just in case I’d wipe a hard drive by accident and wouldn’t have an internet connection or something like that (in case of emergencies). You can’t do this with flatpaks or snaps.

There is so much that I would want to do that requires time to be “flowing”…

If we’re talking about physics-accurate superpowers, please add partial blindness - photons are frozen in place, they can’t reach your eyelids, unless you walk into them. And suffocation due to completely still air.

Iirc, you can’t log into Mastadon with a lemmy account, but there should be a way to follow a mastodon account from a lemmy instance. Never tried it, though.

Edit: Apparently, it’s not possible either. Mastodon users can follow lemmy communities, but not the other way around. 😔

How much their ad-free tier costs? Can I pay without them tracking me? No? Then fuck you (website owners), I will be freeloading and will advertise freeloading.

Btw, use uBlock origin on Firefox, I haven’t seen one of these annoying screens in a while.

Weird. I had headaches practically every week back when I drinked coffee semi-regularly (1-2 times a week).

Around a year ago, I’ve stopped drinking coffee completely and switched to strong tea. Never felt so clear-minded and headaches are far less frequent then before, and if I have one - it’s like 10% of it’s usual strength.

Somebody should make a standard for non-intrusive, not spying, ethical ads (no clickbaits, no contrasting colors, related to the article, etc. etc.).

Adblocks would have websites that strictly follow these guidelines in a whitelist by default (opt-out).

That’s the middle ground. But, I doubt any big ad company like Google or Meta would push for it, if not against.

There’re multiple things OpenSUSE does differently, when compared to most other distros:

  • they enable firewall by default.
  • they have automatic testing pipeline, that catches most broken, not-working applications before they’re made available to public.
  • if update breaks your setup - you can rollback to previous snapshot in minutes.
  • supports both apparmor and selinux.

I use Metager instead - it’s FOSS and also has an option to filter out choosen domains from the search results.

My dog is direct opposite:

  • he likes to chase indoor cats, have no interest or rather feared of outdoor ones (for a good reason)
  • cue to go out is usually me putting on shoes, but if he sees a leash - he will refuse to cooperate and start pretending that he doesn’t want to walk until I snap it to the collar.

Probably because I often walk with him without leash, but only right behind our house, there are almost no people walking there, except for other dog owners.

I’m using metager.org, because I won’t trust a closed-source service like DDG or profit-driven company like Brave to not censor their search results.

There’s a separate syntax for quotes in markdown:


<span style="color:#323232;">> This is a quote.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">whole paragraph is still a quote with a single '>'
</span><span style="color:#323232;">and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn't it useful?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">>
</span><span style="color:#323232;">> empty lines should have '>' if they're part of quote
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">> this is a separate quote, because line above doesn't have '>'
</span>

This is a quote. whole paragraph is still a quote with a single ‘>’ and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn’t it useful?

empty lines should have ‘>’ if they’re part of quote

this is a separate quote, because line above doesn’t have ‘>’

Vampires are found independently in Africa, Asia, North and South America, India, Western and Eastern Europe, and especially in the Balkans. All these incarnations have common attributes of folkloric vampires, though their appearance and origins vary due to the cultural environment and the intent or purpose of the myth (i.e., social control). Thus, the vampire is not culturally specific, nor is it a particular phenomenon, but rather it is almost a universal explanation for the liminal state when coupled with its relatives. Each culture has created these mythical fiends as a way to explain folk hypothesis, thus individually perpetuating their existence.

You know what’s even more dissapointing? bc - arbitrary precision calculator for linux shell uses ‘l’ for natural log, just a single letter.
And there’s no other log function, so when you need logx(y) you write: ''l(y)/l(x)".

Actually, Librewolf team set up recently a poll “should we move to Codeberg?”. And this was one of the reasons for migrating.

P.S. other privacy/convenience issues with gitlab:

  • gitlab.com seems to require credit card information for new users signing up, which is not really great if people just want to report bugs.
  • gitlab.com uses Cloudflare, which for a few weeks locked out LibreWolf users from accessing gitlab.com in the past.
  • GitLab requires Javascript even to just look at issues, which is not the case for Codeberg

P.P.S. They did move their codebase to Codeberg as a result.

From what I remember, they require a credit card info for people outside of US. Here’s my sign up screen with Netherlands VPN:

What’s the best note-taking app currently out there?

Looking for a note-taking app, preferably that I could use straight from a browser. I’m currently using Standard Notes. Not sure if that one is any good, but E2EE and open-source which at least checks those boxes. I don’t store anything too sensitive and I don’t need a whole bunch of features, though I suppose I’d use...

Joplin (FOSS and probably general go-to for cross-platform open source notes in general but is a bit of a memory hog)

This comment describes my frustration with modern software.
How could a note taking app be a memory hog? You could type out a whole War and Piece and it shouldn’t take more than couple megabytes to store it.

Why I hate snaps/flatpak:

  • 1
    • package/appimage ~80mb
    • snap/flatpak >500mb
  • 2
    • p/a - app + dependencies
    • s/f - app + minimal linux distribution
  • 3
    • p/a - can be easily run from terminal
    • s/f - flatpak run com.very.easy.to.remember.and.type.name
janAkali,
@janAkali@lemmy.one avatar

Appimages cant be easily ran from terminal, you need to link them to your Path.

On many distros “~/.local/bin” is already in PATH, that’s where I put my appimages, then make them executable and it just works.

janAkali,
@janAkali@lemmy.one avatar

Yes, sizes might be inaccurate - it’s been about a year last time I tried snap or flatpak. All I remember is that snap installs around 300 mb gtk3 runtime and it’s often 2 or more of them, because different snaps might rely on different gtk versions + other dependencies.
And I remember that when snap and flatpak compared, allegedly flatpak requires more storage space.

I am aware that runtime sizes doesn’t scale with number of packages past maybe 3-4, but I have only 4 appimages on my system right now and they take ~200 mb, it is absurd that I’d need 10 times more space allocated for the same (or worse) functionality.

janAkali,
@janAkali@lemmy.one avatar

Yes… kinda!?
First point is space requirement, second one is a design issue. They are directly connected, I’m not arguing that.

I guess it is a depiction of a miracle of resurrection. It could be saint Nicholas or similar to this story:

One story tells how during a terrible famine, a malicious butcher lured three little children into his house, where he killed them, placing their remains in a barrel to cure, planning to sell them off as ham. Nicholas, visiting the region to care for the hungry, saw through the butcher’s lies and resurrected the pickled children by making the sign of the cross.

Wikipedia cites this one: Ferguson, George (1976) [1954], “St. Nicholas of Myra or Bari”, Signs and Symbols in Christian Art, Oxford, England: Oxford University Press, pp. 135–136

You can “borrow” this version for free: archive.org/details/signssymbolsinch0000unse/The story is at page 81. But there’re no more details, just the same short paragraph.

allegedly was intended as a defensive weapon against in-space attacks by the US space program.

??? If it was for in-space attacks, wouldn’t it be more logical to mount a gun outside of ship 😆?

It was intended as a survival aid for emergency landings. It’s not a shotgun, but a three barrel pistol (but it can shoot both normal rounds and shells). Another interesting detail - it’s buttstock is a folding machete.

TP-87 was invented by request of A. Leonov after emergency landing of ‘Voshod-2’ where cosmonauts Leonov and Belyaev had to survive 3 days in wild taiga forest for a rescue team to retrieve them.

No, it’s from this old cartoon

When you eat sandwich the usual way - you mainly taste the bread. When eating russian sandwich (without top) upside down - you place meat, salami, sausage, cheese, etc. directly on your taste buds.

It is silly, but it does feel tastier.
