“Curated by”…

seems so.

56_, to kde in Kate word characters
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m pretty sure kate has different word selection rules for different languages. I have no idea how to configure these though.

56_, to linux in What's Your Favorite IRC Client, and Why?
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

Has IRC been getting many new features recently? It kind of feels like the sort of thing where software can become “finished”.

56_, to asklemmy in What did someone want to gift you the last time you wanted to turn down the gift (and why)?
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

Haha I read it as “foot bug zapper”, as in a bug zapper you attach to your foot…

56_, to 196 in giraffe rule
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

I don’t think this is specific to giraffes? I’ve seen sheep do the exact same thing.

56_, (edited ) to kde in KRunner vs Application Launcher (use cases?)
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

Krunner is better at displaying longer search results. The launcher truncates anything longer than 1 line. Dictionary definitions are an example.

Krunner also keeps what was last typed in, which is very useful if I’m adding up a bunch of numbers, or if I need to switch to a different application before using the result.

56_, to opensource in Question: How does one open source their stuff?
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

and all future commits

Not entirely true. As long as you hold the copyright to all of the code (there are no contributions from other people), you can change the license however you like. The important thing is that this only affects commits after the licence is changed. All earlier versions are permanently available under the license they were released with.

56_, to asklemmy in Is it possible for devices on an online group chat to toss a coin without trusting each other and the server?
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, that makes a lot more sense.

Step 3 is where the issue occurs. The last party to submit their value has control over the output. Any complex calculations can easily be passed off as network lag. One solution I can think of is to pass the values round in a circle, one by one. This would require each party to share their value before they have seen all other values. At the end each party would share their calculated values to verify they match. Probably other solutions as well.

56_, to asklemmy in Why does the aurora borealis appear to be white in the sky but in pictures it has nice coloration?
@56_@lemmy.ml avatar

I would usually describe it as grey. There have been a few times where a sunset or the moon have provided some contrast, causing the greenness to become slightly noticeable. Last night was the first time I’ve seen such an obvious pink.

Sadly it doesn’t get dark enough here at this time of year, so my family down south had a better view.
