Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before
  • Requisite downvote, but also mention that the devs of Tin Can are about to start alpha testing of their multiplayer sequel named Space Chaos.

    Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before
  • It's a Block Pushing Game is a sokobanlike from the creator of Baba Is You. It's relatively short but has multiple novel mechanics. I enjoyed it enough to create a curses client for it.

    PS: If you like Baba Is You, Hempuli publishes multiple new games per month, mostly clever sokoban-likes, at https://hempuli.itch.io/

    Which CLI app/utility you wish there was a GUI for?
  • You can't get support from lemmy.linuxuserspace.show or any other website if there's a bug in your web browser. You can't get support from gmail or protonmail or any other mail provider if there's a bug in your email client. It's awful how much people have come to assume that clients and servers must and always come from the same provider.

    Anyone knows if it's possible to color command line commands as you type them (kind of like an editor)?
  • please dont use chsh

    doesnt mean your whole OS needs a different shell

    chsh just changes the shell when you log in to a shell. all the other shells are still available and usable. any script starting tieh #!/bin/bash will still run with bash, even if you're using zsh or fish.

    The Humble Games Situation Gets Messier With Claims Of Lies And Damage Control
  • humble games is a game publisher, only connected to humble bundle through corporate ownership. most games in humble bundles aren't published by humble games, and most games published by humble games don't end up in humble bundles

  • This is an interesting idea. There are some tools out there to auto-generate shell autocompletes based on standardized --help output. Maybe there's some possibility to GUIfy that sort of thing?

  • Android prompts me to "Block and Report Spam" for spam phone calls, in both the Phone app for regular phone calls and the Voice app for calls through Google Voice.

    There is no way to report spam in either app without blocking the number.

    Spammers and scammers change their phone numbers frequently. Daily or more, in the case of sophisticated large operations. Those numbers get reassigned to innocent users, who will forever be blocked from calling me.

    "Dumb" phone number blocks should only last for maybe a month or a year, not forever. And we should have "smart" blocks, that sync to phone number registration databases and expire when the number changes hands.

    This is going to become an increasingly impactful problem if we keep using phone numbers as identifiers while most phone number users don't keep the same number for decades.

    People often ask why I contribute to open source projects or otherwise work on building automated tooling. They see me spending hours to automate a task or fix a bug that take seconds to do or avoid manually, in a way that the original XKCD comic says won't pay off. The disconnect seems to be that the comic and those people only consider time it saves me, not time it saves the tens to thousands to millions of other people who will use the script or patch or whatever when I publish it. So, here's a version of xkcd.com/1205 updated for making decisions that benefit a thousand people instead of just one.

    I need to find this line of code based on the keywords "tnt_select" and "2^32", without specifying the repository because I'm looking for instances of the same bug in other projects. This repo is public, the file isn't obfuscated, the code is in the head of the default branch. I've tried Google, Github Code Search, Sourcegraph, and BigQuery on the Github data set. I've found a few ways to locate the .rst and .po documentation files that the bug was copied from, but none that find even this single example of it in actual source code files.

    "You cannot attach documents to your complaint."

    "0/250 characters"

    I tried a couple of times to make https://www.reddit.com/r/cuttingedgegaming/ happen, but never reached many people. This community seems to mostly folks playing 1-2 year old games, I wonder if there are more of us who are playing older (but not "retro") games, particularly PC games?
