Does anyone else find “speed coding” and X-day code competitions weird? Like I’m sure they do the same for painting, short story writing, and other creative things, but the point of all these is to have fun while doing it, not arbitrarily put yourself under pressure.

I have no idea what your setup is so you’ll need to do your own research on rsync.

Syncthing is very much alive.

Rsync then.

Nightly rsync job in crontab works well enough, if its an external hard drive.

If you’re going over a network, syncthing.

Someone should train an AI artist on shitty graphic design is my passion layouts from the 90s and see what it comes up with.

Clients: “This thing is ugly. No I will not elaborate.”

Read the issue above for why. Vote manipulation is a real problem, but making all votes public is not the solution anyone wants. Limiting vote viewing to admins and mods is decided on as the best of both worlds.

Also that tool can only be used by specifically malicious instances whose goal it is to snoop and expose all votes. Those instances can and should be blocked.

We’ve opened up issues on other services many months ago about retaining user vote privacy, because lemmy users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on.

I want to remind everone that since users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on (for good reason), we will never add anything like this inside lemmy, lemmy-ui, or jerboa.

While there’s nothing we can do to snoopers making tools like this, it requires a lemmy server admin login.

If you know of servers which are giving admin access to this tool, let us know, so we can add it to our blocklist.

I don’t see much point in making GUI apps for desktop nowadays, especially since desktop usage is in decline compared to smartphones. If you still want to, I’d go with iced, which is in rust, and well designed.

I’d recommend learning either android jetpack-compose, or iOS app dev.

Huawei’s android skin/variant, akin to OneUI for samsung, OxygenOS for Oneplus, HyperOS for Xiaomi.

Damn. I would really love one of these, to show off books, show my daily tasks, etc. Really unfortunate its locked down.

I jump around the OSS launchers a lot, but always come back to Olauncher.

I’ve used ranger, but I’m not as big a fan of it as broot.

The admin team here has decided to quarantine all musk spam to one community, so that people can easily block it, and won’t have to read his takes.

Use !enough_musk_spam@lemmy.ml for now, or the musk spam communities elsewhere. In the future we can re-evaluate whether to keep any communities for rocket jesus at all.

Anyone else besides me want a moratorium on musk spam? No one should have to see anything he tweets.

An stranger on the internet just gave you license to say a historically racist term, how convenient for you. Next they’ll be some /r/asablackman posters saying its okay for you to use the n-word, because it doesn’t bother them.

I removed this because it has nothing to do with linux specifically, and as expected, it brought out a lot of people defending the use of this historically racist term, and /asablackman’ing it.

I’ve reinstated it and removed the offending comments for now.

Also I don’t know why this needs a discussion at all. There’s hundreds of words in english for something that looks good, and you can be more specific about it : snazzy, sleek, cool, streamlined, nifty, retro
