Mastodon has a history of steamrolling other implementations.
This means we might not always be able to incorporate all the feedback we get into the very first draft of everything we publish
The site even warns that theyre on a deadline and may not incorporate feedback.
EDIT: they also mention a "setting" that determines if a user/post is searchable. theyve presented a FEP to formalize this setting but nearly everyone else had issues with their proposal. as usual for mastodon, this looks like them sidestepping external feedback and just doing what they want

Not just cherry picking statements but also failing to explain how that is a power grab.

I didn't cherry pick a statement. I included the part where they said the very first draft.
You quoted the whole part, but only addressed the first half of it, contradicting the second one in the process. Saying they may not be able to incorporate feedback into the first release is a very different statement than saying they may not be able to incorporate feedback at all.

Back in the day TCL was used in a few places in Pixar's Renderman renderer (called PRMan), and in its connection to Maya. You could write little TCL scripts within the Renderman Artist Tools (RAT) that would be evaluated during scene export. I think this still exists in some form inside Tractor, which is their renderfarm management software.
It's been a long time since I used prman but generally Python has replaced everything as the "glue" language, which honestly makes things a lot easier. VFX and game dev used to have a hundred different scripting languages rolling around.
The molecular mechanical modeller NAMD and its viewer use TCL as the CLI interface, and it's...fine. I would prefer BASH or python, but it works just fine.
Also Tk is how most LaTeX drawing is dealt with, so trying to modify, say circuit diagrams or chemical structures drawn directly in LaTeX (I.e. chemfig) requires using some Tcl. Again, it's...fine. No huge complaints.
Edit: bad memory, the drawing program in LaTeX is TikZ not TkZ, its unrelated to Tk.
I created a report generator, When I open the app it welcomes me to a drop-down menu where I select the customer name and click generate and it opens a .pdf with some charts and graphs.
I could have done it with .js or in excel but it takes about 5 or 6 seconds in python where as anything I'd done in .js was adequate, it would seem like it took too long to print/render. And well, excel would have given me some idiotic error a few months down the road.
But other than that? Not much really.
magic-tape: tui yt client/downloader, new feature: Show video description & comments in the terminal.
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/20356859

Magic-tape is an image supporting fuzzy finder tui YouTube client.
## UPDATE
Now introducing a new feature: the video description as well as the comments written by YT viewers will be shown in the terminal window, while the video is reproduced.
Thus, the user can be satisfied reading other viewers having a swing at the politicians/celebrities/stars they love to hate, or, watch closely to their heart's content, as cyber nuclear attacks are launched between self-righteous, valiant and livid keyboard fighters.
Comment loading is asynchronous to video loading, so it is possible that there will be some delay in the appearence of the comments. That depends on the number of comments, network speed etc.

To be clear, I'm not throwing shade. That's an impressive piece of software. It's just, given the number of stories I've heard (and experienced) about Bash's tricky syntax leading to Bad Things, I'm less comfortable with running this than I would be with something in a language with fewer pitfalls.
But if others take the chance and it sticks around a bit, I'll come around 
Thanks for the contribution! It's a great idea, and with Google fucking about with blocking things like NewPipe, a project like this is a great answer to that.

Hey, like many bash scripts, this one is just a glorifief one-liner.
But I use it everyday, I am biased, of course, but it is rather convenient, and prevents me from getting lost in rabbit holes.

The Linux Mint 22.1 distribution was slated for release in December 2024 with a revamped Cinnamon theme and better package management.Slated for release in December 2024, near the Christmas holidays, Linux Mint 22.1 will ship with the soon-to-be-released Cinnamon 6.4 desktop environment featuring a revamped theme that’s much darker and contrasted than before, rounded elements, redesigned dialogs, and a gap between the applets and the panel.
More from the Mint Monthly News: September 2024
The transition towards Aptkit and Captain is now finished. Starting with Linux Mint 22.1, set to be released this December, none of our projects will depend on aptdaemon, synaptic, gdebi or apturl anymore.

I love Mint 22 so far, it really has matured where my home computer is running Mint is more stable than my work computer running Windows 11, luckily my company uses CrowdStrike so nothing to worry there.
But really I now recommend Mint to my non tech savvy friends and family, as a person who uses Linux should! But joking aside took my sister's old laptop running Windows 7, slapped a SSD and upped the ram to 8 GB into it with Mint and she has been happy

Can't boot Clonezilla image from Surface Go 1 to Acer Apire 5737z
Hi everyone,
I have a finely tuned Fedora 40 image that I cloned using Clonezilla (see: sh.itjust.works/post/25762756)
I wanted to deploy it on my old Acer Aspire 5737z but it won’t boot. It’s just displaying a — on a black screen for hours.
I’m not so knowledgeable but I guess it means I would have to reinstall the GRUB or whatever.
I’ve booted into my Fedora Live USB and tried the lsblk command people were talking about on the web (I don’t understand the terminal). Here's the result.
I think the SDA disk is the one I would like to boot from.
Can anyone help me understand what I have to do 😇🙏

Hey there!
It sounds like you’re on the right track! The black screen with a dash usually means the bootloader (GRUB in this case) might need some love. So, you’ll likely need to reinstall GRUB on your old Acer.
Here's a simple way to do it from your Fedora Live USB:
- Open a terminal (if it’s not already).
- Run
lsblkto confirm that your old Acer’s drive is/dev/sda. - Mount the Fedora partition with something like:
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
(Make sure/dev/sda1is the correct partition; adjust if needed). - Install GRUB by running:
sudo grub2-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda - Then create a new GRUB config with:
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2/grub.cfg - Reboot and fingers crossed, it should work!
It sounds a bit like magic (or some weird old ritual), but it should help your Acer find its way. Give it a shot! If it doesn’t work, let us know exactly what you see. We’ve got your back!
Thanks for the precise answer adapted to a rookie like me😇😅
Sadly it ain't working. I guess the GRUB installing part which is problematic.
Målet med kriminalpolitiken måste vara att minska brottsligheten, inte att spärra in så många som möjligt i fängelse. En kriminalpolitik inriktad på att fängsla så många personer som möjligt för så lång tid som möjligt är en misslyckad kriminalpolitik. Det minskar nämligen inte brottsligheten vilket tydligt kan åskådliggöras av exemplet USA.
Man som bedrev juristverksamhet dömd till fängelse. Hovrätten över Skåne och Blekinge har dömt en man som bedrev juristverksamhet för brott mot många klienter. Mannen dömdes till fyra års fängelse för bland annat grovt bedrägeri, grov förskingring och grovt bokföringsbrott.
Strax efter klockan tio på söndagskvällen kom det in larm till polisen om skottlossning i Rissne, Sundbyberg. När polisen kom till platsen anträffades två personer i 20-årsåldern med skottskador. De fördes med ambulans till sjukhus. En av dem ska vara lindrigt skadad medan den andre är allvarligt sakdad.

You even don't need to self-host, just disable piped proxy, enable local extraction, use HLS and a good VPN.
Sure it's not as anonymous and sometime I need to disable my VPN, but that's only temporarily, until they find a new loophole in youtoube's api.
That's not piped nor invidious backend's fault, just YouTube doing his cat and mouse thing...

Also do you know of any YouTube client that allows me to group subscriptions? Having all my subscriptions in 1 giant feed is pretty useless since I'm usually looking for a specific type of video. I haven't found any client yet that allows subscription groups, which seems crazy.

There's a lot of ppl that don't want the actual yt app for everything that it is. Also this being Lemmy there's a lot of users looking for open source alternatives for all apps.

in reply to onlooker • • •Maybe if there was at least one project (other than Grayjay, bc that takes quite a bit of storage) that runs well on less powerful devices and ties to add support for all services community requests.
Just look at those cases when ppl requested them to add Odysee and removed. (I do get the removed part of thing, but saying Odysee is bad feels like an insult to people who don't want to put videos on Youtube. As if yt contained only good and properly reviewed content, right?). And there's more denied requests like that. Saying things like it's full of propaganda, conspiracies and idk what else they can come up with.
And other forks just support one or 2 additional services. Kinda reason why I like Grayjay plugin system. Because if you want support for something, you can, even without Android Studio. It already contains more, but it's quite large.
