oof, I’d fail trivia questions for my age group because I had a… complicated childhood. But it would probably be a problem for foreigners who didn’t grow up the country. Imagine coming from Chile and having to know about Australian trivia from the 70s or something to sign up for a social media platform 😄
As in, you have to roll up to an “age verification bureau” and say “I’d like to sign up to $platform, please verify that I’m of legal age to use it and tell them so”, then you buy a “token” that you can enter upon signing up? Am I understanding that correctly?
First, I don’t know of an option to install windows directly on a Mac. Microsoft says to use “Boot Camp Assistant” which, as far as I understand, is a VM. Second, windows is heavier than Linux in terms of consumption and resources.
If your mac is struggling with linux, my advice is to try a different and lightweight desktop environment (xfce, lxde, …), or get new hardware. Linux is about the lightest thing you can throw on there.
You’d have a better time installing Linux. On that hardware it’s been tested many times and is quite lean (as opposed Windows 10). You can also runs decent amount of games by installing steam, lutris, or heroic game launcher.
It’s PNG? I was hoping it would be a vector image to have unpixelated monster mouse pointer goodness.

I feel like I’m getting nerd-sniped 😄 Believe it or not, writing tests, adding type hints, adding a formatter and linting, are actually more interesting to me than UI-work 😇
I’ll see if I can make some time this week, but no guarantees!
The reactions here are why people don’t join forums, don’t ask questions, or choose to learn alone. “duh, I knew that”. Yes, the dude didn’t, which is exactly why he’s frustrated. I think too many have forgotten what it’s like to be a beginner and make a fatal mistake, which would explain the mocking responses here and things like recommending new linux users Arch.
Which is exactly the situation the dude was in. As a newbie, it’s an easy mistake to make. Telling somebody who doesn’t know “well, would you look at that, you didn’t know!” is not just unhelpful, it’s useless and condescending.
😄 understandable. Are you open to one or more of the things I mentioned being added? Strict type checking, tests, formatter, linting?
Attempting to get something working first and possibly adding tests later? Or are there other reasons?
Oh my… I’ll eat my words about python maintainability. No unit tests, no emulation tests (with emulated services), no tests with a database, no formatter, no linter, no type hints, simple pip… The result is working, but I’m a little bit concerned about the nigh complete lack of testing and though they use an ORM (SQLAlchemy), I find the raw SQL therein (even if it’s simple) concerning.
Besides that, the end result looks quite usable and it’s nice to see an alternative to lemmy.
I don’t know when the last time you worked on a python project was (professionally or privately), but things have changed. If all you know if python and python projects from 10 years ago, I’d agree with you, but modern python projects can be made very maintainable. See my other comment.
As for meta programming, dude, I don’t know if you’re seen C++ templates…
Python has typing hints which mypy uses. It’s similar to something javascripts wants to introduce call type annotations. It also has linters and formatters (ruff which does the work of multiple tools in one and is very fast). It also has unit tests built in as well as popular test libraries like pytest and nox and tox for running tests.
It is up to the maintainers to use the tools they have been given to make projects maintainable. I have worked on and seen very maintainable python projects of various sizes. While legacy code is always a bit of a nightmare (python 2 and < python 3.6), it doesn’t have to be that way and getting into a python project nowadays is way easier than most other languages I’ve tried (maybe also because it’s what I know well).
I read the intro here, opened the page and saw “105 minutes”. Uh… I think I’ll wait for the conclusion of what the C++ committee does instead of reading this monster of an article (even though I do like the apprehensive tone of it).
Edit: oh wow, is this really the new boost logo? Is boost.io a joke website or something?
Does that mean we’ll start seeing desktop apps like IDEs running in Android? How are you going to develop python on android? A linux container / VM? That’s going to be so wasteful. But I am curious.
It won’t be good for flashing though. Probably once support ends, it’ll be a slow brick upon which one can’t install linux.
Things like the EU-Linux petition and public money, public code are becoming evermore important. If you’re European, sign the petition and share it. We are looking down the barrel of all US software being used to spy on us (if it isn’t being done already).
People laugh and mock China while the same is bring implemented here. But they’ll tell you “I have nothing to hide”. I guess they have to be personally misjudged by AI to understand the privacy is indeed important.
Sadly, these are the mistakes humans have to make to understand. Whether they can remedy it is unknown as Pandora’s box might already have been opened.
Is the idea for just the game to be FOSS or for the characters to be related to FOSS as well? IMO, the latter would be a good limitation to start with, which would be in the vein of Super Tux Kart using FOSS mascots.
