Politician leans too close into mic: “WORKS AS INTENDED”

I’m most interested in a polygon editor first (webGL animation/Wick Editor export) and a non-destructive workflow with Godot (SDF textures, Blender as an intermediate, maybe even exporting .scn files for polygons) second.

Though for this (and also the similar, separate effort of PixiEditor) I fear that it will just try to do everything else instead.

For this specific, I see people complain that it’s web/electron-based.

Hail to KING baby DAIRY.

I dunno, do you think it’s too rough for prototypes or jam-like games?

Seems to me like many of the issues are likely specific, workaround-able stuff. It’s mainly developed by 1 person, so pretty much any type of involvement (even posting issues or showing off projects) could help improve the future of the project.

In some cases you can keep your logic in its own file and not dependent on any engine. For instance I made a (non-game) software demo (number converter) for the 3.X bindings and then easily redid the GUI and rewired it for the 4.X bindings. (similarly I made a polygon-from-text-format parser for Naylib, I could transfer it but Godot has polygon editing so less need there)

I haven’t done enough to consider myself a programmer, but I could’ve written your post. It hits a niche that I have long wanted from programming.

You should check out the Godot 4 bindings if you haven’t already (gdext-nim, see my post on !nim@programming.dev). There’s also one for Raylib (specifically, Naylib).

My biggest functional gripe (that I can say for certain is not just me) was that support for (Bellard’s) TCC was dropped. It was nice for quick prototyping, though Clang is a pretty efficient middleground/default.

Also yeah imagine if I did anything, let alone having a project worthy of the thought of uploading it anywhere.

I remember Retroarch being a bit confusing/unfriendly last time I tried it, but it was so long ago, that it might not be the case anymore.

Similar for me. Something wasn’t working and it took me a while to figure out that some issue was preventing the settings from saving/loading properly.

I waited a long while to try it

Not sure if you’re using some non-proprietary driver or what, but I’m not worried about switching over. Maybe nice with AMD GPU, unlikely for me though.

I don’t want GNOME or Plasma (I’ve had issues with Plasma on X11 when I tried it) so that could be it, too.

Just grep the source for “wayland” and you’ll see what I mean.

and

# Refuse to build in Arch package environments

MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")

Not sure if there is more to this, but it seems like it screws over X11 users for no reason (I’m still using a 1050Ti).

I have all of the free time but feel terrible most of the time, so everything really. When I actually do sit down to actually try something,

Not that I really have ideas, more of annoyances with common game mechanics (or that lots of new stuff is bloated from textures/video/non-compressed audio etc.) really.

For a couple of things I have made (both text-file formats+loaders), one of them I had no desire to do the writing to utilize (adventure book, for a toolkit… also font scaling wasn’t as good I wanted) and the other (2D polygons, Raylib bindings) I was a bit unsure on usage (fans vs strips, loading multiple) and couldn’t be bothered to develop to a usable state (GUI editor etc).

Some of it I know I just need to start with something simpler (I am already leaning towards this with 2D or 3D polygons) and get anything started*, but I don’t seem to be there yet. Maybe something will change…

* still difficult having an idea that is both viable and engaging for me, and even the simplest 3D I’d still need to put a bit more prep-work in (Blender template file, importer script for materials and better node view, checking Godot color palette options to see if one allows keeping my x5 ramp width) unless I just don’t do that and ignore/manually do some of those (material overrides on import aren’t difficult for example, particularly when I won’t have many materials anyway)

I don’t think I have any federation issues (at least directly), but yeah I don’t get replies probably because what I post is too niche. On 3 posts so far at least (~8 upvotes each) in 3 different communities.

Well, looking back most anything I post is probably doomed this way no matter the instance, unless maybe it’s something more general or eye-catching on a bigger community.

For a practical test, search for kbin.social (and then ctrl+f for it also to get the direct results). Or, just look at a community: !kbinMeta@kbin.social

The only thing that appears missing is the avatars images. Though I assume the text content is doomed in the long-run when it comes to new instances, as I doubt re-federation (3rd-party federation) is a thing. Unless of course, someone manually crossposts said content.

alarm-clock-applet allows custom commands. So put systemctl suspend into a timer, bingo.

rtcwake to wake the computer up, for-better-or-worse the music will still be playing.

Someone else mentioned android, VLC there does have a sleep timer (just to stop the music) I didn’t see an equivalent option in the desktop version (at a quick glance) though.

In SMPlayer I do see the option ‘shut down computer’ as a sub-option for `close when finished playback’ (general options)

You know, I’m somewhat of a coding enthusiast myself.

Difficult to think of projects that I want to do that are also viable for me now. I settled on Minesweeper (/a dragonsweeper-like) though I lost momentum as I got a bit hung up on how to implement it in a way that’d allow dynamic map sizes. I suppose I should just make it as simple as I can and then differentiate it later.

Mostly been ignoring it though, instead making efforts to organize my room. Any personal growth is good, right?

I would also like an excuse to make some polygonal art (2D or 3D) but I don’t have many ideas there either, and many ideas of which would probably be an insignificant amount of actual coding compared to animation.

just introduce new users to GNOME, that’s perfectly intuitive and even looks great!

Gnome 2 sure, modern not so much. I mean when useful features are cut from the GUI it just means it’s harder to actually do things. Like removing “open in terminal” made non-GUI stuff more difficult (esp. w/complicated directory).

I’d say XFCE or Cinnamon or anything else like those are better.

i think the significance of the ‘lemmy.world’ is the origin of the post… in this case the_picard_maneuver@lemmy.world posted it to sh.itjust.works

Close, it’s where the image is hosted. The lemmy.world bit is a link to the image. Just like how any website link will say the domain of the destination.

I mean it probably is where a user is posting from, but sometimes it is not (not sure why but sometimes non-ml users will post images from ml)

I lost interest enough to delete the models I had before and this headline made me look into deepseek.

EDIT: Not quite the Streisand Effect considering I already knew about it, but still an unintended source of pressure. Like someone stockpiling before a ban of something, even if they weren’t too avid about it before. I’ve had a similar thought when it comes to taking down free streaming sites.

Though this seems to have traded compute for data, so I don’t have the VRAM for it… even running through RAM, I don’t feel like downloading a lesser version with my slow-ish internet.

I am only interested in a niche compiled-to-<C/C++/JS> language due to the capability/speed while keeping readability. With that in mind, I wonder if Python’s JIT and no-GIL update will slow or reverse the stated trend (assuming it’s true at all).

Though it’s still an issue with bindings for something I can already use with my preferred lang, so is one reason why I haven’t tried it.

Never had one but have family who has their VR headsets and aren’t really using them, borderline useless if you aren’t willing to use their ecosystem. They were having some trouble with their accounts (probably related to account migrations) and seemed too unsettled by the paper wall of text about being part of an organization to unlock dev mode.
