Thank you for volunteering! You’re all modded up now. :D
They used c++ initially since it was spawned from SerenityOS, which was designed to be a mashup of win2000 and unix.
now that Ladybird is its own project, it’s not constrained to that goal, and they have said they will incorporate modern languages.
Agreed!
Interesting tid-bit that surprised me when I learned it; not only does he run this medieval living channel, he’s also the owner of the Rebellion game studio.
She had a (non-cancerous) brain tumor, which she did a few videos about treating. I hope that’s behind her forever as well. :(
There doesn’t seem to be a high-res version online that I can find :(
Florisboard has decent swipe typing from what I remember, and should be available in F-droid.
EDIT: after checking, I see Floris has not been updated in two years on f-droid. :(
@[email protected] wrote down the recipe here.
1.2l water
240ml sodium sulfate
60ml sodium chloride
20ml xantham gum(optional for increased efficacy by keeping the solution homogenous)
Boil water, stir until fully dissolved, a small amount of solute should remain, if not, increase sodium sulfate concentration slowly until it does, indicating no free water molecules available for dissolution.
Solution should now be cooled to below 18c( freezing point) for an end product that will regulate temperature to 18c so long as it have sufficient(negative) thermal energy.
Solution of pure sodium chloride will have freezing point approx -20C, while solution of pure sodium sulfate has freezing point +35C. Adjusting the ratio of NaCl to Na2SO4 will shift the freezing point towards either end of thag spectrum, depending on what phase change temperature you are targetting.
XMPP would be the best choice at this point in time, as it doesn’t suffer the downfalls of Matrix (though even Matrix would be better than Discord).
Cheers for mentioning this, that shit is right up my alley! :D
The article is pretty well laid out, IMO. It sets up the story with background information of who Ken Williams is, the history of the Police Quest series and the Sierra hacker/stoner culture, then goes into Daryl Gates and his background, and finally how Ken hobnobbed with him and pushed hard for him to be involved despite the resistance of the game devs. It then goes into how the game that Daryl advised on was deeply influenced by his racist views, which Ken had no trouble publishing, and even hoped would generate controversy for profit.
It gives all the context needed for non-sierra fans and for people not familiar with Daryl Gates, and doesn’t really have any fluff or repeating points.
Not sure what you mean by skewing the facts? Could you give an example?
Article’s kinda crap, really; the whole point is “a prick hired a prick to be involved in a prickish game.”
Ken Williams has generally been pretty well regarded, especially by Sierra fans. He was even included in the old Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy, so I think it comes as somewhat surprising that he was so easily swayed by Rush Limbaugh back then, and shifted so far right wing to the point of purposefully working with a cop so heavily associated with systemic racism and the Rodney King beating.
It certainly was news to me, as someone who grew up with those games.
Sir, this is Technology Connections. He does not need to be bribed to make a 2 hour video about dishwashers. It comes from the heart, and we love him for it.
Thanks for taking over !podcasts! :D
As for tagging, at least on PC with the normal Lemmy-ui, when I type @LibertyLizard (or just @Liberty) and then do nothing, a menu pops up next to it with names which I can click on, and that will autofill the correct formatting to tag the user in their inbox.
Also @[email protected] may like you as a co-mod over on !nolawns, never hurts to ask ^^
