🤦🏾♂️ Free as in freedom, DF isn’t even source available.
I’m new to the fediverse and still learning how things work here. I apologize if I break the rules or etiquette of communities and instances. Please don’t assume malice or disregard, I’ll try my best to be respectful but there’s like a lot to learn and keep track of.
I like Emacs, GNU, free knowledge (free as in freedom), Lisp/Scheme programming, and software (and hardware, and everything) that is designed for autonomy, licenses aren’t enough. I’m ditching Linux as soon as Hurd becomes viable as a daily driver.

0·19 hours agoThere’s a bot that crossposts reddit posts here, I forgot it’s name because I blocked it. I’ll check my blocked list and post it here, brb.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Luanti is really neat actually!English
24·9 hours agoI love it when the libre software world moves from “what if there was an open source version of this” to “thanks for the starting concept, dear company, we’ll take it from here and make something bigger and better”.
I remember I tried Luanti a while ago (before the name change) but got a bit confused by the many games, like I thought it would be literally just a libre version of minecraft with builtin moddability. Once I read a bit about it it made a lot more sense, but by that time I was too busy to try it again. I’ve been thinking of getting back to gaming, I might give this a shot if I can’t find a libre version of Dwarf Fortress.
edit: changed ‘free’ to ‘libre’ to avoid ambiguities.
How do I delete someone else’s post?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Inkscape developers need help to push version 1.5 across the finish line. If you have C++ experience and hate Adobe, consider getting involved
3·1 day agoThis place is full of former redditors. We’ve all been in the situation where someone comments the most deranged, obviously satire thing, you upvote and start playing in on the joke, saying something even more deranged, and they agree with you in an obviously satire back and forth, then you check their comment history and it turns out it was never satire from their side and you were encouraging a flat-earther. As much as the /s and the mOcKiNg CaSe annoy me, I think they’re necessary these days.

Technology@lemmy.world•"Code was never the hard part" is an insult to all programmersEnglish
94·2 days agoI’m baffled I just downvoted a comment saying “intellectual property is bullshit”. There’s a first time for everything I guess. And yes it is bullshit but gosh, what a weird place to take that stance.
Sometimes I catch myself opening nano inside emacs’ term. I literally forget I’m using emacs and just do it on instinct. I once also opened emacs inside emacs’ term and I just stared at the screen in disbelief.
I already said that, can’t you read? You’re defending violence against real people. It may be just a joke to you but for me it’s my childhood friends, literal children. I get that getting people mad is a sign of victory for people like you, but grow the fuck up, your dishonesty and malice are blatant. Yes, you got me mad by making monstrous remarks about a situation that affects real people, with real and often lethal consequences. If that’s fun to you, that’s your problem. But don’t think for one second I feel embarrassed for getting mad here, I would be embarrassed to be the type of person who doesn’t get mad at this.
And if those angry cops go to a poor area for payback, why should the privileged kids stop?
This is what you said. You’re just dishonest. There’s no way you actually believe the very people getting murdered by cops respect them. And here you imply the cops do it because they’re mad at the privileged kids. The people who are the worst victims of police brutality live under enough oppression to have to stay silent for their lives. To imply they “respect” cops is dishonesty, there’s no way you believe that, and you definitely meant the cruelty. I’m really thankful to the privileged kids who use their privilege to speak about it because I only speak about it when I’m anonymous, because I literally fear for my safety. And to answer your question, the privileged kids absolutely shouldn’t stop.
I must have really touched a nerve.
Definitely did. If that was your goal, congratulations.
So you think if the mean privileged kids weren’t bullying the poor little cops they wouldn’t be brutalizing poor people when that’s literally the point of their existence? Pathetic, dishonest, have the life you deserve.

Technology@lemmy.world•Boomers on Facebook Are Leaving Comments That Make It Clear That They Have No Idea That AI-Generated Thirst Traps Aren't RealEnglish
2·6 days agolol no I was joking, but I did subscribe to this guy specifically because I was curious about the concept, like I read the comments and I can’t tell if people are role playing or they actually think it’s a real guy (and as I said, it might actually be and I was the actual fool).

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Block lemmy.ml if lemmy feels tirening.English
0·6 days agoDifference is people in the US are generally not defending negative US history or actions
Yeah, I won’t even waste my time arguing, I just ask that you understand that it’s possible for people to disagree with this, as absurd as it may sound to you. I don’t think you’re acting on bad faith but you have no idea how absurd this claim sounds to me, if you want to assume bad faith that’s your problem.
But the point of my comment is: I can block lemmy.world if it bothers me enough, or I can not block it if it doesn’t bother me enough. And I don’t need to make a whole rant about it. That’s immature as fuck.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Block lemmy.ml if lemmy feels tirening.English
0·6 days agoI don’t like Russia but people supporting Russia doesn’t bother me near as much as people supporting the US/West. Yet I still haven’t blocked lemmy.world which is not only blatantly pro-west, but so heavily biased that most people legit think they aren’t, like I can tell they’re being sincere.
And if I ever block it or any instance/community/user, I won’t make a fuss about it, I’ll merely enjoy the peace of mind of not dealing with them. I’m happy for you that you won’t have to deal with these people anymore, I’ve blocked a few communities and instances as well and I love the fact we’re able to do it, that we get some level of control over what we see on our feed as opposed to some algorithm forcing us to pay attention to stuff that hurts us. But this post is immature as fuck. Grow up.

Technology@lemmy.world•Boomers on Facebook Are Leaving Comments That Make It Clear That They Have No Idea That AI-Generated Thirst Traps Aren't RealEnglish
61·6 days agoNot a boomer but I follow a thirst trap guy on youtube who I was always sure was AI (like fully artificial, not based on a real person), but then he posted a really messy video (like imperfect skin, not fully shredded, awful lighting, messy room that didn’t look glamorous) and now I’m no longer sure, like there’s a chance it’s a real guy recording himself then asking AI to make him look flawless. Which means I may have been thirsting over a human all this time, ugh.
The point is I knew AI could improve real videos or generate realistic videos from scratch, but I assumed it was still easy to tell one from the other. Well, turns out either AI is now able to generate messy videos from scratch (that truly look low quality/effort) or it’s able to make real videos look like they were made from scratch. So I genuinely don’t trust myself to distinguish what’s AI anymore. And I’m around 30, so I don’t even have the age excuse.

Technology@lemmy.world•Student Teacher Sent a Private Snapchat Complaining About Her Workday. An Hour Later, Police Pulled Up to Her School.English
2·7 days agoThe way things are going in the US I wouldn’t be surprised if the AI also reports Quinceañera to ICE.
That’s what annoys me the most with the nothing to hide crowd. You only have nothing to hide until they decide to go after something you have. I’m an LGBT person, I’m always one bad election away from having something to hide that could cost me my life. I see plenty of moralists who do tiny, widespread tactics to circumvent business taxes, and it’s so normalized here that they legit don’t realize they already have something to hide. Like yeah, realistically I wouldn’t expect the government to go after those people any time soon, but how the fuck are you literally breaking the law and literally every one of your customers know and you still think you have nothing to hide? I legit don’t understand those people.


asshole: yes. Maybe he enjoyed the fact he fixed it himself and didn’t want anyone else to fix it. She decided getting it to look whatever she considered good was more important than whatever he felt was good about it.
