A couple of your links are broken.

This page links here: http://www.dbzer0.com/about/personal/reading/

Did you put in a relative link instead of an absolute link perhaps?

Yea, we got some growing pains. I hope Lemmy.ml has prepared for Monday. If the tinyest percentage of Reddit comes along (and I’ve been mentions of Lemmy in many subreddits) then this place will experience a deluge.

Cheers!

No, I’m afraid it crashes. I’ve pulled up a VM to check again - same result. It crashes, noting ‘mediainfo’ and ‘glaxnimate’ are missing. I can install mediainfo from the repos, but not glaxnimate:

I hit ‘okay’, and it’s gone. Here’s the full error message:

This stuff never gets deleted

Judging by the IP address, lemmy.ml seems to be located in France. That’s not fantastic for take-down notices, as far as I’m aware.

I’m in Serbia, land of the free, home of the torrents. I don’t know if there are VPS providers here, but if so, it’s a good country for hosting anything but government criticism (not that you’d need to criticize Vućić the benevolent, long may he reign).

I’ve just pulled up Shingeki no Kyojin. Works fine.

I’m using version 4.4-1 on Arch Linux.

Even within Reddit communities, a lot of posts ended up in multiple places, and the ‘crossposting’ function seemed off to me, because everyone voted on and commented in different places.

I wonder if a ‘tag’ system wouldn’t work better, where a post shows up under multiple hashtags. This way, a picture could go under ‘#sea #thalassophobia #submarines #pictures’ all at once.

If everyone votes on the same post, posts would receive negative attention for inappropriate tags (I’m assuming that people would downvotes pictures of cats which had the #dogs hashtag).

It looks like the github bot closed the issue due to lack of testing.

I’ve commented that the branch works, but it’d be great if someone who understands xbps better could verify that it builds correctly.

I’ve used ani-cli a few months ago, and it worked then.

Why so many apps just for watching anime?

You can sell accounts?

How on earth would you do that anyway? Do I go onto Amazon, or just my local fruit market?

I don’t think there’s much need to repost between communities. Click on the main page, and you can see “| Subscribed | Local | All |”, and in ‘all’ you’ll be able to see other Lemmy instances and interact with those communities without making an account there.

I’m not sure if you can make posts on another instance though…

I should clarify that there’s no karma, because there are very few users. Once there are more people, some users will try to make a bot which farms karma, for the usual reasons.

Reposting definitely serves some useful function, but too much reposting from Reddit will just make Lemmy feel like a cheap knock-off. At this early stage, I feel like new content and chat works better, but that’s just an intuition.

Why make a repost in the first place? Karma? Influence? You’ll find neither in this dark, empty, wasteland.

But it’ll pick up on Monday, and I’m sure we’ll be swarming with more bots than you can shake a Turing test at before long.

No, I just need it to start. It insta-crashes with a note about glaxnimate missing.

Cheers - maybe Gitlab updated how links to content work?

It’s updated now. It’s a rewrite of the free Dark Ages rules from White Wolf, with classic White Wolf backgrounds, and LaTeX as the typesetter.

The make file also has options to make modern rules (replacing ‘Ride’ with ‘Drive’, et c.), and another toggle to include the vampire rules.

It has house rules in chapters 3 and 5, but there’s an original branch without the house rules in case anyone wants to add different changes.

I’m definitely an active user of Kdenlive. If you could get it working, that would be wonderful.

I cannot believe I spent two hours learning xbps-src instead of just installing via flatpak…it never crossed my mind.

Yea, I have no idea why people are even attempting this nonsense. Perhaps they think that ‘computers are magic’, because it’s quite clear that nobody would try to verify someone’s age when it comes to posting images through snail-mail.

Of course if they wanted to give it a proper go, maybe someone could make a real age test:

• which of the following is more irritating:
  • Gorillaz
  • S Club 7
  • N-Sync
• how much do nappies cost per month?
• which instrument do you use with a casette?
  • screw-driver
  • VHS player
  • bic
• which type of phone was most popular in 1995?
  • Nokia
  • Rotary
  • Chordless

:P No worries.

I’m still looking sideways at new UX things here.

This is the Void Linux group. I am running Void Linux. The repository above goes to void-packages, which compiles the packages for Void Linux.

I just mean the package on Void.

xbps-query --show kdenlive

The maintainer is listed as ‘orphaned’, i.e. it has no maintainer. So void doesn’t have the latest version.

Here in Serbia, anything under 300 copies is considered ‘personal use’, and therefore is not a copyright violation.

Now you may be thinking ‘that must be an old law for cassettes and CDs’, but the law is the law, me hearty.

The pride itself is a backlash. When I was in high school, teachers couldn’t mention the existence of homosexuality. Once the violent bigotry calms down, we’ll probably see an end to pride parades, or maybe it’ll become another one-day holiday, like Hallowe’en, but for rainbows.

The rainbows will continue until morale improves. Hopefully I’ll live long enough to see the need for pride parades calm down (but we may as well keep at least one flamboyant rainbow-day).

Arch.

I once ran Ubuntu, but the install instructions for so many programs are ‘import this key’, ‘add these dependencies’, and the system quickly became a mess. I had install scripts to install and uninstall some things, but it was too much for me to take care of.

Eventually I found that if you want the latest terragrunt and i3, Arch Linux is easier than Ubuntu.

I’ll add that most people think Noah took two of each animal onto the ark. It was seven of the male and female of the clean animals, and two of the male and the female of the unclean animals.

I also think that movement should be group-based if it’s gonna be successful. People used to Twitter often look at Mastodon, think ‘what is this weirdo shit?’, and return, as they don’t see what they’re used to. However, certain Mastodon instances succeeded in sticking - Linux and TTRPG groups stay put, because there’s enough of them to create a proper group with content.

I doubt Void has enough people, or enough to say to make real content (I like the distro becausee it’s boring, feels like up-to-date Debian sometimes). But I’ll be here either way, and I hope the Fediverse becomes the default place for Void announcements et c.

I’ll have a gander. People often add a README.md file which explains how to build the project. How do you make the pdfs? What are the gem files for?

Also, Meteor looks nice. I notice it’s CC; are the source files available? It’s pretty much impossible to build on a pdf without them, unless you want to spend a month resetting everything by hand.

Is there a reason you are putting limits on defining facts like this?

Yea, the system’s meant to do all sorts -

• provide a limited deus ex machina
• encourage making backstories (once there’s a lever, players will pull it)
• pre-emptively gather new characters to replace dead PCs, without shoehorning a randomer [ Hail strangers! I notice your party has no mage… ]
• provide a limited system to gather ‘henchmen’ for dangerous missions.
• provide a system which prompts backgrounds being ‘fair’ (this character’s rich, the other knows many languages, et c.)
• slot backstory into the world, rather than asking players to do homework for a backstory

It’s not so much a Storytelling system, as an anti-storytelling system, designed to complete the job of a backstory systematically, so the rest of the game continues procedurally.

If the XP rewards go up to 5XP per Story Point spent, it’s enough to buy the first level of a Skill, so that could work.

Auto-success is already in the system for knowledge-checks - still unused, but maybe it could be emphasized somewhere? …though auto-success for attacks wouldn’t make much sense. If someone’s attacking a mimic for the third time, it wouldn’t make much sense to gain a single attack bonus.

I’d be worried that ‘use it or lose it’ would result in bad outcomes:

• optimized players would be tripping over each other to spend points with any excuse, prompting a string of cousins to ‘help tie my shoes’.
• shy players would lose 5 XP.

I think I’ll await the wisdom of the void, and install this once there’s a stable release of the whole thing.

This whole thing is madness. Courses shouldn’t have hidden costs.

Why does the wlroots version mean hyprland can’t be packaged for Void?

Void repos when?

In a deep cavern, tricking zombies into following me into a trap, I find out ghasts run faster than the usual shamblers and get eaten.

Hopefully it’ll bash my head in before munching on my limbs.

Wanting privacy’s understandable, but I don’t get why people have to add ‘drug addicts’.

People smoking a heroine spliff aren’t gonna do drugs at your house.

I don’t have a copy of the original module (or the remake), but there is this modern reimagining in stunning 3D technicolour.

The methodology to answer the question is pretty clear. Go through some ‘experimental philosophy’, and see if that question could have obtained a grant in the Psychology department.

If the answer is ‘no’, then ‘no’.

If the answer is ‘yes’, then it looks like the disciplines have some overlap.

I’m not sure what this really adds. If someone’s only reading Lemmy through Mastodon, why not just stay on Mastodon? It’s nice to crosspost, but I only get Mastodon posts I want to see. But I see all the Lemmy posts on a given community, so it seems vulnerable to spammy @'s.

At the very least I’d say ‘wait until a few lemmies federate’ before lumping that on the admins. I have no idea what the fallour or additional work might be.

There can’t be a consensus, as the rulings are based on laws, and the laws all depend upon the judge at the time.

A few lawywers have already weighed in. None of them have been willing to give a prediction.

At least there are plenty of non-OGL options. I’ve been ranting for a while now about the OGL not being open, but I never thought I’d see such movement around the issue.
