Some know the OP is into GitLab more than GitHub ^^

At this point I should just set invent.kde.org as my new tab page.

What feature are you waiting for? 🙂

I'm waiting for Linux 7.4 to drop so I can have non-Steam games working with my Switch 2 Pro Controller out of the box.

When you have submitted multiple PRs and they get ignored even though you follow their ridiculously complicated CI and testing guidelines, so you just fork the repo and do whatever you want. (And then hope things don’t break a year from now because you aren’t pulling any new features and fixes.)

Factorio allows you to transfer items between space stations now.

IDK if that's the kind of thing the post is about, and there has certainly not been 5 years. Also, no time for Yay!, because I'm busy designing some space platform fabric...

When Krita overhauled the text tool (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

‘that niche feature’ being basic security.

The reason why is that AI is helping write code faster now. What are your thoughts on this, OP?

I want to make my cursor increasingly grow when I wiggle it.

I just installed Fedora Linux on my old Winblows Surface 3 tablet. It does this, and it's pretty fun to mess with.

I too want some things to grow when I wiggle them 😏

Then the project gets archived 6 months later and nobody forks it...

I have been looking for a sudoku app which allows me to use different symbols rather than numbers because sometimes the numbers themselves confuse me, so using random symbols helps to keep them arbitrary. After years of waiting I submitted a feature request for Open Sudoku and a couple of weeks later it was implemented. Years of waiting, a few weeks waiting after asking, just amazing. Open Source software is definitely the future, and the communities around Open Source project, while a little variable, are absolutely outstanding.

Yeeees luanti now has controller support so i can play with my phone and a clip on controller 😍

I would recommend the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless. I'm using that as my main, for Rocket League and other games. Works great. Cheaper and better than Xbox controllers, PS controllers, even Nintendo's ones. I think I paid around $40–50 for it. Much, much better quality than my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which was almost $200 and now barely works.

It's awesome and Lemmy is wrong to hate and denounce the genuinely good outputs of frontier models. There is enough wrong with LLMs and the companies behind them that is fair to criticise. Lemmy puts human made code on a pedestal, but look at the certificate and php stuff this week, all human errors..

Reminds me of that screenshot where some chronic gooner asked the Cyberpunk devs way before release what kind of sex den simulation would be available.

I wish I had the drive to learn to really program instead of just small scripts and BS, but im sure I'd just spend all my time keeping up with the code base and trying to follow guidelines that I'd add nothing to the project.

Look, I agree with you. However, most people here don't, and I'm not sure why.

I assume this is a sarcastic reference to KDE Plasma, but in case you dont know, KDE does that and i love it

I can remember back when that one feature I waited for was a functioning DX11 driver like the box fucking said. Fucking AMD...

I'm still salty about Affinity being bought by Canva and THAT'S the version that has image trace built-in 😭

Jellyfin letting me set a number of episodes to play before it stops. 👍

Not that nieche, I bet a lot of people wanted it. Kinda surprised it took til v12

Open source is the modern marvel that nobody talks about. Like the industrial revolution or the building of the pyramids. I know it's preaching to the choir on lemmy. Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.

Sometimes I wonder how much the average person can comprehend the scale of what has been accomplished over the past few decades. I'm sure they attribute it to the power of the corporations' drive for profit. None of that would have happened without the combined effort of people around the world building out one software library or application at a time. There's a behemoth underneath the shiny corporate tech products that is the real achievement.

Some say, born to late to yadda born to soon to whatever. Guy, we have lived in very interesting times. You just haven't been looking. We've lived through the middle of something incredible. I'm sure Jim Ramses was super annoyed at another brick to haul back in 10000BC so the pharaoh can have his stupid tomb or whatever. He wasn't thinking, they're going to be nuts over this stuff in a few millennia.

That being said, I think open source is facing existential trials in the near future.

Sure, but what if I want my cursor to be vector based and stay sharp as fuck on screen even when it's huge?

Them?

Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.

It's hard to even convey how very true this is.

Basically all of network infrastructure depends on open libraries. All of the most widely used cryptography standards are open source. There was a period when basically every server on the internet was an Ubuntu/Apache stack. The Internet Protocol itself is open, and would not function otherwise.

Open source is the Internet. The Internet is open source.

Once GBO2 dies, I'm gonna to jailbreak my PS5

Huh, this is something I have never thought of, and I'm not really sure what it's for... but it sounds like the idea is that you say upfront "play me the next 3 episodes of this show", and then it plays 3 automatically, and after the third takes you back to the menu? Fascinating.

Await in default values when? Auto await on use variables when? Pattern matching in JS when?

That last one is coming and I'm excited.

It's for people who use TV or spoken audio (podcast / radio show) as an environmental sleep aid / sleep cue. Electronics in general are suboptimal options for this but it's a common one that works well enough for some people.

They're falling asleep to it, but they're usually still kinda paying attention to the chronological plot, so they want it to keep their place just after they slip into unconsciousness so they can just rewind 30-60min and keep watching from where they were instead of waking up 8 hours and a full season into the show later.

Also some similar utility for people watching TV while doing chores who are just gonna kind of wander off near the end.

In case you don’t know, KDE does that

Sync for Lemmy will be fixed any day now...

I can fix her

How do you use the symbols?

krille-chan still refusing to review my room order and subspace categorization feature request for FluffyChat even though I've already created a mockup by directly forking and modifying the source code (twice):

https://github.com/krille-chan/fluffychat/issues/1326

KeepassXC autotype on wayland.

Just a few more years....

Edit: Holy shit nvm, literally release 2 days ago. I am happy.

It's because Lemmy is full of communists and furry artists that fear for their livelihood. They imagine human code as something divine, when in reality it's cobol code that can't even get leap year calculation right. And didn't for 5 decades.

Can’t you ghouls just leave it alone for 5 minutes without making everyone miserable?

M'theydy

That would be aight!

I mean the first part is true for some but not all, but maybe after you experience memory leaks that slow your pc down to a crawl so slow that you can't even close it, maybe then you will realize that ai is just autocorrect on steroids.

Typeahead in Nautilus

Did that go away at some point? I thought we had that since forever?

Maybe I actually use that shit for actual work and it works for me. Again, complain about ecological impact and copyright, but don't start a holy war about a tool..

And if you want your cursor to just go where you put it, stay there, and not be so damn extra... XFCE does that.

Those who do not learn from Comet Cursor are doomed to repeat it.

I doubt there is a better deal at present than the Gamesir Nova Lite, but Gamesir keeps undercutting themself.

Dual hall effect sticks (no dead zone, that's right, zero dead zone), wireless USB, bluetooth, and wired functionality for $25. That's $5 less than the MSRP on the Logitech F710.
