Due to losing control of our Matrix channel, we are officially moving over to Discord for now.

It's a shame, but we can't properly moderate our Matrix, so we can no longer recommend it.

@cliffwade @pixelfed @stemy @Mrfunkedude
Discord is a company that not only has a (shoddy) centralized service but also violates its users privacy (e.g. they extracted system usage data in the past even with options for that turned off) additionally to the obvious issues with being proprietary. They literally offer nothing of value beyond "ease of use" (if you only use their service (if you are fine with their limited feature set (if you are fine with their bugs)))

@the_moep@social.tchncs.de avatar

@cliffwade @pixelfed @stemy @Mrfunkedude
Oh and that completely ignores that their whole company is running at a loss and they still have not managed to find a strategy to finance the service... meaning that in the end they will have to sell user data (if they don't already).

Hello friend game developers

In English it is Dash

Help me translate the game term into German, when a character makes a tackle or dash, how would it be in German? I can't find examples like this in other games

I found two suitable words while traveling for a long time in dictionaries: schleudern and forthinaufstürzen

the_moep,
@the_moep@social.tchncs.de avatar

@maxim Really depends on what exactly you mean by that tbh.
If by "tackle" you mean actually grabbing someone then I would say "anpacken" or just "angreifen" (as in "attacking") Main issue here is that it's a term based on American Football so often just used as "tackle" by Germans too. I wouldn't think of "schleudern" for "tackle" tbh. as that's more "throwing" something than actually grabbing someone.
If you mean just as a general bumping maybe "stoßen"?

As for "dash": I would use "flitzen"

Was macht man um eine Anwendung schneller zu bekommen?

Richtig, man wirft mehr RAM drauf.

Ist Java wirklich so eine schrott Software, oder einfach nur die meisten Entwickler ungfähig?

the_moep,
@the_moep@social.tchncs.de avatar

@schenklklopfer In den meisten Fällen zweiteres. Empfehle außerdem erst zu schauen ob sich der Garbage Collector richtig verhält (zB. via JMX GC stats) und dessen Einstellungen zu tweaken bzw. auf einen anderen zu wechseln bevor sinnlos Speicher draufgehauen wird (was in den meisten Fällen nur dazu führt, dass die Probleme später auftreten)

Memory Leaks im Code sind natürlich auch immer eine Möglichkeit, kommt aber sehr auf die Anwendung an ob das wahrscheinlich ist.

the_moep,
@the_moep@social.tchncs.de avatar

@schenklklopfer Also das Tweaken des Garbage Collectors und anderer Parameter zur Runtimeoptimierung ist bei Java das Equivalent zu dem was du bei PHP meinst. Das ist ja eine der Stärken der JVM, dass man ohne Codeanpassungen einiges am internen Verhalten anpassen kann. (Java Entwickler haben davon aber oft keine Ahnung)

Aber wenn die Probleme wirklich von einem Memory Leak gibt dann müsste da nadürlich der Entwickler selber was fixen.

Err, did you create them manually? Because they need a joiner character in between. Emoji picker do that automatically though. (And then it depends on the Unicode standard your font supports)

    I'm sorry, scratch that. Apparently it was an issue in the browser that first occurred on your site. Other newly opened sites didn't work as well but opening ones I regularly visit worked... (I assume some DNS dumbness happened 👀) Force-restarting (or maybe waiting?) solved that.

    Now that Bitcoin ETFs have been approved, let's recap the colossal waste of resources in BTC mining over the past year.

    During 2023, Bitcoin's proof-of-useless-work mechanism consumed almost as much electricity as the entire traditional financial sector combined.

    The yearly electricity consumption of Bitcoin mining amounted to 121 TWh according to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index https://ccaf.io/cbnsi/cbeci

    They moved to proof of stake and imo. other currencies need to be pressured to investigate more environment-friendly mechanisms too.

    Ap"I let everoyne access iCloud content"ple is winning the poll? How weird. The only reason they seem "trustworthy" is their marketing and that they prevent researchers from testing their shit properly because they would have to first buy hardware from them.

    I reluctantly answered Google because they are the only ones on that list that didn't have major leaks/hacks. (At least how far as I'm aware off)

    Welches OS/DE und Skalierungsaktor hat das Problem? Hatte damit auch gekämpft und es dann under PopOS mit derem angepassten Gnome dann hinbekommen dass sowohl 1.5 als auch 1.75 gut aussahen. (Nutz 1.5 aber inzwischen da mehr Platz für Inhalte, gerade in IntelliJ :D)
    Ich glaub ich hatte da irgendwo was in Gnome umgestellt, kann später mal nachschauen wenn das helfen könnte.

    @dangoodin @dale
    I always see this push for passkeys but I still don't get how this actually is good for an end user? Like what happens if you loose/break your device? Or is it really just "login with your Google account" in disguise and you can restore it by logging back into your Google account with a normal password?

    the_moep,
    @the_moep@social.tchncs.de avatar

    @albertcardona I ended up using it by chance just today and was actually surprised how far it has come from the last time I tried it instead of Chromium's. What are some features you miss?
    (I was able to do everything I wanted basically the same way today which was loading speed optimization for slow devices and some CSS adjustments)

    the_moep,
    @the_moep@social.tchncs.de avatar

    @dangoodin Sorry for being a bit of a noob about this and it's totally fine if you don't want to engage with my questions (I can/will do research myself) but thoughts that I instantly have:

    • What happens if you only have one device?
    • How do I tell device A to sync a key with device B? (I assume via the Google account, but what if I have an iPhone too? What if I have neither?)
    • Can I generate my own passkeys?
    • How is it secure when people use biometrics which can be forced to unlock?
    the_moep,
    @the_moep@social.tchncs.de avatar

    @dangoodin
    I'll take a look at those later, thanks. But I don't get the argument about password managers. The police can't force me to hand over the encryption keys nor are the encrypted (and hopefully synced/backed up) passwords at risk if stolen. A passkey only protectd by biometrics or a weak pin seems to be.

    (I agree with the phishing argument though seeing as most can't be bothered with proper 2fa :S)

    My guess would be because my instance isn't federated directly with yours and I only got it forwarded due to a hashtag? Still doesn't sound right/how it should work but that's my only guess. I really need to look more into how ActivityPub actually works 😅

    Food Canning: more durable Food, but needs Steel
    Photograph and Phonograph: satisfy Entertainment needs

    Which inventions would you like to see?

    @ekis They are using Forgejo, a gitea fork (which iirc. they initiated? And gitea is a gogs fork) which has as one goal to integrate code hosting with the Fediverse/ActivityPub.
