Whenever I post a bunch of stuff on here I get superstitious. Has the site actually managed to process my toots yet? Sometimes I get bursts of notifications that cluster together in odd ways. Sometimes things are so close to real time this feels like a chat app, sometimes it feels like a fidonet email system with even initial reactions delayed for hours. I cannot help but wonder if this is the architecture of Mastodon or some property of my audience or just Internet weather.
My experience with #elementaryOS so far has not been great. After installing I had to do a bit of tinkering to install the right Nvidia drivers and be able to boot to GUI, many times the system hangs after coming back from suspend, the default terminal has some issue that makes it laggy, etc.
@mogwai_poet I would leave the head (which is actually appreciated in places like Spain), and have them unpeeled. If you want one, you have to work for it :D
USian liberals, real talk: If Biden were selling arms to a group that had so far killed over 35,000 Americans, including over 15,000 kids, you wouldn’t be telling folks to vote for him. You’d be in the streets demanding he be removed from power. The reason you’re not? Because it’s Brown people on the other side of the world being slaughtered and you, quite frankly, couldn’t give a shit.
Fediverse, I have a slightly unusual request for you. Can you recommend me video games where the main setting is a library, where the main character is a librarian or where the plot revolve heavily around libraries in some way?
Thank you.
@Sylvhem a bit of a stretch, but what about the Myst saga? It's more about books , not libraries, having an importance in the plot than libraries, but worth checking?
The world needs some cross between Processing, HTML, and Google Docs.
Processing: A programming environment with lots of helpful libraries
HTML: a simple display model that can be viewed everywhere
Docs: an underlying sharing mechanism
There are just too many core problems that need to be solved over and over by each app. It's more than just getting the right library as there are services involved.
I wonder how many projects end up shooting themselves in the foot when using an ORM because they fail to resist the temptation to let the ORM objects leak into their API?
I worked on one project that had to make DB schema changes every time they changed their API because of this. It made it very difficult to maintain compatibility across updates without complicating their schema, too.
@freakazoid this is so silly. If the APIs happen to mimic your model, sure, just wire up something so that the model gets directly serialized to avoid some boilerplate. But if the API diverges and there is no reason to change the model, please don't!
