Alternatives to GitKraken?
  • The open alternatives don't have particularly good UIs which was a massive perk of GitKraken.

    These days I rely heavily on the Git UI within jetbrains various IDEs. If you're working on open source projects then you can get a free license. Or they do educational discounts. If you're using it commercially then it's going to be roughly the same price as for Kraken but you get a best in class IDE included...

    Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
  • 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.

    Initial roads support
  • This is neat. If you do look at beziers you'll run into some difficulty with offsetting them / creating parallel curves.

    But you can find a solution for that with this crate: https://crates.io/crates/kurbo

    And a nifty article on the topic: https://raphlinus.github.io/curves/2022/09/09/parallel-beziers.html

    'Lightning speed' broadband for rural areas
  • Just as a counter: I live in a very rural part of the country, pretty sparsely populated and yet I get 1Gbps fibre. There's a new company rolling out in the area promising 10Gbps, it's kind of insane. So these programs do work.

    NHS and care regulator 'not fit for purpose'
  • It's going to take much longer than a five year term to fix the NHS. Liklihood is they'll inject some life into it just in time for the tories to sell it off next government

    Best ad-free search results?
  • The ability to prioritise and pin results from different sites is what won me over. Pinning stackoverflow helps filter a lot of junk when resolving programing issues, and when working with geometry I've pinned or prioritised a few different resources that better explain the mathematics

    Best ad-free search results?
  • Kagi is pretty decent. It's worth supporting else the space will continue to be dominated by advertising monopolies.

    Quantum Lock suspends sales due to developers losing access to source code
  • 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.

    First Pop!_OS 24.04 Alpha with COSMIC DE Drops on August 8 - OMG! Ubuntu
  • 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.

    Why preventing long-term sickness in the UK is an economic necessity
  • Nah, if you leave people on waiting lists they give up, turn to private options or just die, so it's no longer your problem. That's the cost saving approach the NHS uses for mental health services.

    Why preventing long-term sickness in the UK is an economic necessity
  • I get what you mean but I find anti car rhetoric way too overdone.

    Given the topic is about health issues there's going to be a lot of people who have limited mobility so cycling isn't viable and walking may only be short distances. Therefore a car provides them freedom they need.

    "GitHub" Is Starting to Feel Like Legacy Software
  • 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

    "GitHub" Is Starting to Feel Like Legacy Software
  • 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.

    "GitHub" Is Starting to Feel Like Legacy Software
  • 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..

    Which CLI app/utility you wish there was a GUI for?
  • 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

    FAMF: Files As Metadata Format
  • 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.
