Why pay for a small VPS to host your static site when you can host it for free with a small chance of bankruptcy?

After years of ass-whopping by python interpreter for stray tab characters, I'm now mentally rejecting the existence of tab character in my computing devices.

something something real linux users don't use gui and tab completion

Text formatting seems like a simple thing to fix, but it actually take a lot of effort to implement well.

The thing about markdown library is every library supports slightly different markdown features. Lemmy uses markdown-it plus several extension (e.g. superscript and lowerscript, emoji, footnote, bidirectional text), which boasts 100% compatibility with the specs. Not sure what Sync uses, but as a native android app, it probably can't use markdown-it and has to use one of many java/android markdown library, and none of them seems to claim 100% compatibility with the specs. I suspect other native android lemmy clients also have this problem. Even jerboa (made by a lemmy dev) is not immune to this problem too, simply because it uses a different markdown library (Markwon) that behaves differently than markdown-it.

Elaborate?

The sole purpose of the tab key is for instructing the editor to insert four spaces.

The mods might actually spend money to run bots and other moderation tools on their own servers. Might even pay reddit for api usage too for using those tools.

Japan: ...

He's not innocent and went to jail for it, but does it warrant garnishing his income for life? I think they went too far with that.

Poor people shouldn't drive an Apple car /s

Shame. I was curious how expensive it would be. Maybe somewhere between BMW and Porsche. I guess we'll never know.

I sincerely hope that Yuzu developers don't end up like Gary Bowser and have their income garnished for life by Nintendo.

Distro makers have test machines to test their packages before pushing them out, but they can only cover popular and common hardware. Expecting them to test it on all graphic card permutations is too much considering most distros are released for free and maintained by volunteers, especially since nvidia cards aren't cheap anymore.

This would implies the package management system to know the inner working of nvidia drivers so it can warn users when updates would break it. How one's implement it?

It's hilarious that PR author in that example has monkey profile pic. I guess what people are saying about never trusting people with monkey pfp is true.

zoom in on the error message

Yep, of course it's Nvidia.

Apple has been suspected to intentionally slow down safari development in some key areas so it won't cannibalize the AppStore. Frustrated web devs, unable to get their web apps to work correctly on safari mobile, would publish their apps in the AppStore instead of using PWA.

Yeah, looks like she think your work is not a big deal and aren't worth the fuzz about it. Sadly this attitude is pretty common. The maintainer didn't think they do anything wrong (it's just a small config!), not realizing the work they think was easy and not worth the credit might not actually that easy for new contributors and perhaps warrant some credit or acknowledgement to encourage future contributions.

On the other hand, they're also focused at infinity so it's easier to glance at than a transparent screen.

Some maintainers on large open source projects really think credit is not a big deal and sometimes apply the changes sent to them as their own commit if they think it's not too significant. I think this is wrong though. Even small contribution should be properly attributed or it'll discourage future participation.

I just feel wronged because now they’re saying that I don’t deserve to have my name on this because I was too slow when I was only given a week and was literally told to wait during that time period.

This is very concerning if true.
