This data is already public. You can just create a kbin account and see who’s voting. Anyone wanting to scrape it already can, the only difference proposed is the Lemmy client showing it.

Why not just give it away for free? It always seems odd to me that games just disappear rather than being allowed an elegant death of old age.

Is that your experience with the OS or cosmic?

Honestly, it’s not as important. These projects are working with very limited resources, typically dependent on free labour. Accessibility is incredibly hard to get right and half arsing it isn’t going to work. The priority should be pushing out a reliable, working prototype that people want to use. Once that’s accomplished you can refocus on expanding the features.

Demand for reliable multi monitor support is going to be far higher than screen reading capabilities.

But their issue isn’t the old website. They’re complaining about the new version?

OP also felt the need to refer to the platform as Microsoft GitHub. So it seems likely this is all just grumbling about evil corp making changes

There seems to be a rando paragraph about AI as well,then it trails off that they’re looking for recommendations for git blame clients. I couldn’t really figure out how it was all GitHub’s fault or where the word legacy fits in.

I kinda got bored halfway through. From what I gather they’re salty that GitHub is switching to react? If that’s the issue then the headline is rather misleading isn’t it?

Surely legacy software is one that drifts into obscurity through lack of investment which is the polar opposite of GitHub rewriting their entire front end…

A few IDEs already provide some help with YAML. Rider will tell you if you’ve screwed up the YAML for a GitHub Actions workflow, and possibly docker-compose as well

I actually quite like this idea.

You can take it a step further and use file extensions to determine the format. For example the parser would first search for title, and if it doesn’t exist try title.md title.html etc and render the content appropriately.

How regularly do you really need them? Surely by the time you come to reinstall an OS there’s already a later version available, doesn’t it just make sense to create a fresh USB each time?

For example about a month ago I installed Project Bluefin on a couple of devices so that USB is lying around somewhere. But in the meantime the maintainers have rotated the update signing keys so that month old installer is now redundant.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to store stuff on the phone…

Isn’t it just far easier to transfer documents using one of the thousands of cloud apps though? Since Dropbox and such became a thing I’ve not had a use for USBs. If it’s privacy that concerns you then you already mentioned self hosted services and I’m sure there’s a few Dropbox clones among them.

There’s not much point in survival PDFs unless you’re also carrying a laptop to view them on.

If you really do want to go full apocalypse prepper then track down an archive of Wikipedia and various how-to websites.

The reason you’re struggling to think of anything to put on it is because you don’t need to be carrying a USB drive.

No aircraft cabin crew have ever put out a call asking if there are any Linux sysadmin onboard with a copy of GParted Live v1.5.0 for 32bit ARM devices .

I used Ubuntu for a long while, then Debian for a new PC because the video card or display just wasn’t working on Ubuntu.

Couple of weeks ago I finally tried this distro hopping thing people have been on about. I’d stuck with Ubuntu for so long due to an apparently misguided belief that it was stable.

I’m now using Project Bluefin from Universal Blue, a derivative of Fedora Silverblue and I’m blown away by how good it is. It uses Gnome and the maintainer has packaged a few tweaks to keep it similar in user experience to Ubuntu, along with a fantastic array of great software I never knew existed.

I’d highly recommend it to anyone historically loyal to Debian or Ubuntu.

For gaming you can easily install Bazzite as a container to access Steam. I can’t say I fully follow the tech stack that makes it work, but it just does. Whereas my boilerplate Steam install on Debian was completely botched.

Universal Blue really is the future…

I suspect if this was enabled by default there would be uproar from people annoyed the distro was stealing their bandwidth, and if it were opt-in then very few people would do it.

Windows Update uses peer to peer to distribute updates. It’s one of the first things I always disabled.

When you finish the final sentence of an essay or a report do you just submit it straight away? You don’t read it through?

Occasionally only one of my monitors will turn on, I end up having to unplug the power cable to kick the other in to life.

I’m using Debian, with an AMD 6700 XT graphics card, dual monitors via display port. I’ve just ended up accepting it as one of the quirks of the Linux experience.

I don’t know about the specific question you ask but I’ve found Google OR Tools to be useful in the past: https://developers.google.com/optimization/pack/bin_packing

Blazor WebAssembly ticks the boxes that @treechicken@lemmy.world described.

I have this dream of a single WASM runtime environment across web, desktop, mobile with devs writing apps once, compiling them down to WASM, distributing them over the Internet, and users running them on any platform they like.

You write the app once and it can be compiled to WebAssembly that works across web, desktop, and mobile.

In reality to take full advantage of Blazor you’re probably going to use Blazor Server/hybrid for desktop and mobile but the principle is the same, you’ve only written your app once but it works in every environment.
