@digitalcourage Ein weiteres Beispiel von #digitalzwang bzw. #appzwang
Habe soeben glücklich ein Ticket bei Ticketmaster erworben (Dream Theater am 24. November in Amsterdam).
Was mich aber total ankotzt, ist die Tatsache, dass hier auch wieder #digitalzwang und #appzwang betrieben wird.
Ich kann das Ticket an dem Abend nur auf dem Smartphone vorzeigen; entweder im Browser in meinem Konto oder in separater Ticketmaster-App.
PDF-Download und Ausdruck ist nicht möglich.
Wozu soll das gut sein?

@Ralph058 If we're talking about the English poet George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron FRS (1788 – 1824), I surely hope that English mathematician and writer Augusta Ada King (née Byron), Countess of Lovelace (1815 – 1852) wasn't his lover, as she was already his daughter.

2️⃣ The second prototype is a deck-building card game – you fight monsters, in order to kill your opponent. Win battles to gain new cards. If you make it to the end, you get your Git diploma! :D

https://git-battle.blinry.org

There's a language selector in the top left, you might need to switch it to "en".

As in all versions, if you need a different keyboard layout in the terminal, type "loadkeys de", for example.

Click the "Commit" button to end a round!

das_g,
@das_g@chaos.social avatar

Da (bei 2️⃣) brauch' ich glaub' eine Spielanleitung, @blinry. Was bedeuten die verschiedenen Zahlen auf den Karten? Was ist das Spielziel, was die Spielmechanik / die Spielregeln?

Und was ist die Verbindung zu Git? Sind Karten Datei-Inhalte und Slots mögliche Dateinamen? Was wenn ich Dateien und Commits auf dem Kommandozeile rechts erstelle?

Sieht vielversprechend aus, aber ich blick noch nicht wirklich durch.

@blinry As someone who (more or less) knows the ins and outs of Git and who has to sometimes teach Git to others, I think I might use the node explorer already in its current state. I often draw (on paper or whiteboards) what happens in certain Git scenarios when one runs certain commands. With the node explorer, I could just show it instead of having to draw so much.

It might be useful to be able to load existing repositories into it. (I haven't yet tried whether git clone <public URL> works.)

das_g,
@das_g@chaos.social avatar

@blinry For autodidactic learning, the node explorer (at least in its current state) provides too little guidance. But it could complement other, already-existing learning materials, by showing what actually goes on at what I'd consider the boundary of what usual repo visualization tools (gitk, https://learngitbranching.js.org, etc.) show and what would be "behind the scenes". A quite interesting place in Git's levels of abstraction, indeed, and one useful for understanding a lot of Git's documentation.

das_g,
@das_g@chaos.social avatar

@blinry The achievement playground also seems promising, but at the current state feels kinda repetitive. It's cool though that it doesn't only teach Git but also some other basic command line usage.

The cards in the achievement playground didn't really work for me: They inserted different punctuation to the terminal than shown on the card, e.g. :: instead of >>. (I had my session set up with

loadkeys de_CH-latin1

, so I guess they simulate virtual keypresses without regard of the keymap?)

das_g,
@das_g@chaos.social avatar

@blinry Apropos keymap: A more ergonomic way to set that would be much appreciated for all 3 prototypes. To enter

loadkeys de_CH-latin1

on my Swiss keyboard (set to its Swiss-German profile), I had to hit the keys for

loadkezs de?CH'latin1

and to figure out what to put there, I had to first enter

ls /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/

for which I luckily remembered that tab-completion exists, or I would have had to type

ls -usr-share-kezmaps-i386-qwerty

or something like that. 😵‍💫

das_g,
@das_g@chaos.social avatar

@blinry Eh, don't worry. That's how Linux systems work by default. Just thought it might be useful to point out, as maybe this could be automated (or completely avoided by having characters rather than keypresses as the input — though then special terminal stuff like ctrl-r for search might not work.)

The second season of Just a Goblin was announced to start in March. I'm guessing the tone of the story is gonna change quite a bit again, though I'm not sure in which direction. I kind of expect a few fun, light-hearted prison episodes to contrast the ending of season one. 😅 I still went for the "a lot to process" mood in this .

Is anyone else on the Fediverse reading ?

@mullana I wasn't reading it yet (didn't know about it), but have now read the first episode and might continue to read it. The premise reminds me of that of https://goblinscomic.com, where also goblins are fed up with being easy victims for rookie adventurers and decide to become adventurers themselves.

Little project idea I've been hacking on: a dataflow language inspired by (syntax wise), with pipelines and stuff for image/video/audio processing, shaders, or whatever else you want

the problem is i have no idea how to do langdev lmao

i now have a logos based lexer and that's it lmfao

and i'm thinking to either just do whatever i want, aka not look up how to do shit properly (that hurts) or... idk actually, since i have no idea how to do shit properly and don't have the attention span to go through a langdev book lmao

Well well well... Andreessen Horowitz admits, in no uncertain terms, that if they had to compensate artists for using their art to train their ripoff models, that their investments wouldn't be worth it.

Absolutely damning admission which spells out in no uncertain terms that these firms KNOW they are ripping artists off.

Also, the term ‹shapes› might give you the wrong impression. It's more like, you know, fuzzy clouds of location probability density? Yeah, kinda that. Here's some equations.»

Ich bin seit Jahren Verfechterin vom , habe das sogar studiert und weiß, warum es sinnvoll und wichtig ist. Andererseits denk ich manchmal, dass es jetzt so wichtig auch nicht ist, da dermaßen die Gesellschaft dran zu spalten.

Nun ein Gedankenmodell: Mal angenommen, alle würden gleichzeitig vom Gendern abrücken und sagen "OK. So wichtig, dass wir dafür ne -Regierung riskieren, isses nicht. Wir hören damit auf." Was wäre dann?

Hier meine Vermutung:

  1. Kurze Irritation bei den Rechten: Ihr Lieblingsthema ist plötzlich verpufft.
  2. Erfolgsfeiern bei der AfD, weitere Zugewinne.
  3. AfD wählt sich einfach ein neues Lieblingsthema. Sei es Klimakollaps, "Homo-Ehe", Asyl oder Transrechte.
  4. Das Spiel geht genau so weiter.
  5. Noch mehr Druck auf die Themen aus 3.

Schlussfolgerung: Klar müssen wir schauen, dass wir uns nicht in Trolldebatten verstricken und Spalten lassen. Aber nachgeben bringt halt auch nichts. Weil die manipulativ-populistisch agieren und nicht demokratisch.

Bin ja gespannt, ob ich beim Ergänzen von OpenStreetMap irgendwann auch mal schnell die Flucht ergreifen muss, weil für Erklärungen kein Raum bleibt … 👟

Wäre ich Bewohner einer Immobilie, die ein Typ mit Smartphone in der Hand schon deutlich zu lange mustert, und den ich außerdem vorher die Straße entlanggehen, andere Häuser mustern und dann immer etwas in sein Smartphone eintippen sah, käme mir der Typ eventuell fragwürdig vor.
Als dieser Bewohner weiß ich ja nicht, dass der Typ vor meinem Haus gerade rätselt, ob ich ein Reihenhaus neben ähnlichen Reihenhäusern bewohne, oder stattdessen ein Haus, das sich lediglich an andere Häuser reiht … 😀

Dear L.L. Zamenhof,

"scii?" Seriously?

First it was "fartas." Then I quit studying . Then I tried it again and got as far as "shatas," and laughed my head off.

Now, "scii" (pronounced s-ts-ee-ee). I get it you're using Latin "scire," but the pronunciation is just atrocious, bro. 😢

🤦‍♂️

Edit: (continued)...

das_g,
@das_g@chaos.social avatar

@RL_Dane @tennoseremel Quite some do pronounce «scii» as «cii» or «tsii» (i.e., [t͡sii] or [tsii] instead of [st͡sii]), but that's an incorrect pronunciation, so try not to get used to it. You'll usually be understood from context, but as «ci» is also an Esperanto word (meaning «thou», i.e. (archaic) singular «you»), «cii» would actually be the infinitive of the verb related to it (probably meaning to address someone as «ci», if anything at all).

das_g,
@das_g@chaos.social avatar

@RL_Dane @tennoseremel Instead, begin with «s ci i» ([s], [t͡si] and [i] as separate "words" with pauses between them) and then try to make the pauses between them shorter and shorter until they're (almost) gone. It takes some practice and might feel foreign, but it'll feel more and more natural the more you use it.
