what will this mean? Will a bunch if Indie games get delisted from Germany?

this is pretty stupid. It should've applied to new games coming out only, not forcing 15 year old games that haven't been updated to get delisted.


I have tried numerous times to get #VSCode (or its derivatives) to work with my #conda environments. It has never worked.

I just tried again, because I found out I could use it similarly as I use #SpyderIDE. As previously, VS Code refuses to recognize conda environments or #Python interpreters installed into these environments, even if the path is explicitly given.

I have also eyed #PulsarIDE, but it doesn't seem to have the same level of support as VS Code, VS Codium and the rest.

I accidentally discovered my “smart” #LG 📺 lets users choose from multiple speech recognition “#AI Services”, including from different companies (if you want to enable such a feature). Is this a core part of Android? If not, it should be (and iOS!) And similarly for virtual assistants, and recommendation algorithms! #DMA

So while considering taking up higher education and going to uni regarding #computing, looking back at some of my consultancy work, I hesitate and wonder if I should go for some other discipline - like chemistry or even electro engineering.

Even though I'd like the idea of a long term contract and a stable job, I think I love #libre and #opensource too much to placate to #corporate interests.

But also, I could be the change I want to see. I wonder if anyone else went through this.



I feel like I do not have a primary #scripting language and I don't like this feeling.

Probably the smartest decision is to embrace that #python is the winner





Has building websites become too complicated? We built a Kirby site in just two weeks while my colleague was in China, struggling with a shaky internet connection over VPN.

in reply to Maurice

I don't think building websites has become too complicated. I think people's perception of what a website should do has become too complicated.

The consensus is that they need to have all the frameworks, all the JS, all the...bloat. That's what makes them so difficult to create. With a little bit of knowledge, a half decent dev could spin up a very functional website in a couple hrs.

in reply to Kev Quirk

@kev I totally agree! It's like devs forgot how to build sites without big frameworks and buildchains etc. I think that a lot of people started webdev using react or other big frameworks and never got used to the basic stuff.

We would have been able to go online even faster, but we wanted some cool stuff like webmentions and a nice working panel setup.




#Gaza #Palestine

Iran has launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel which it says is in response to the assassination of the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah as well as a top Iranian commander.

Israel says a response is coming.

Some of those Iranian missiles reportedly landed close to the headquarters of Mossad in northern Tel Aviv.

US military officials have confirmed that two naval destroyers were used to intercept some of Iran's missiles.

Encore un peu
Et je ne serai plus
Assis sur le balcon
À trois heures du matin
Un doux mois d’octobre
Un deux du mois
À tout le moins
Un moment de calme
Sur une berge
Que je ne connais pas
Tantôt le fleuve
Se gèlera
Je ne sais pas
On marchera
Sur mes os
On ne sait pas
Traversée
Je le serai
Un pont de glace
Sous mes pas
J'oserai vous montrer
Au-delà
De mon être
Solidifié
Douceur et dureté
De l'automne estival.

Researchers from MIT, Cornell University, and American University invent an online tool to deprogram people captured by conspiracy theories. It’s called DebunkBot, and it will never work because 1) conspiracy theory fans won’t want to engage with it; and 2) it requires a lot of reading, which low-information people won’t want to do. substack.com/profile/12118649-…
