Curious if you found the documentation on the Godot website insufficient. Dipping my toes into Godot for the first time here. I learn well by example.

That's exactly what I got too

I was tagged, immediately clicked to see the link so I could report abuse, and got a 404. Very fast response. I appreciate that and the message Codeberg sent out that OP posted here. Came to p.d to see if anyone posted it yet.

Users can subscribe to a hidden community to remove the hidden effect status of a community

So if a user subscribes to a hidden community, it will not be hidden for them anymore. But will it be unhidden for everyone else too? Would it start showing up in local feeds?

I saw someone saying AI "Apparently AI goes hand in hand with wokeism."

Meanwhile, I've seen quite a few complaints from the types this person dismisses as "woke" about AI. Is there more left-leaning approval from AI than I think there is, and more right-leaning disdain for it than I think there is?

Usually people who explain "woke" in such a manner seem to be the types who are actively hostile to LGBTQ+. There are a few LGBTQ+ people who do make it their entire identity instead of one facet of themselves and I understand how annoying that can be, but at this point I'm a lot less likely to believe "this is someone who turns 'How is the weather today?' with a stranger into a trans rights discussion" and more likely to believe "this person just hates trans people and is trying to frame the trans person poorly so I resent the trans person and not them."

Adult woman checking in. Aside from the feet in the air, this is my preferred programming posture! I hold this position easily for hours before getting sore elbows.

I am also small and a young adult not too many years away from teenagerhood. I hope your comment never becomes true for me with age. Looks like as long as I just maintain weight I should probably be safe, my shoulders are not getting any wider any time soon.

What is this a screenshot of?

I once saw something about how if you are trying to build it yourself instead of using a pre-existing library you come off arrogant.

Can I build it better? Probably not. But do I want to deal with a dependency in my fun side project (unfun), when I could just build it myself (fun)? No.

I probably should to get more practice with it so it is less painful, but…

  1. What does my project do?
  2. Can I express that in a concise way?
  3. Can I make it cutesy and memorable? Maybe with a fun acronym or alliteration?

If I can't come up with anything I like, this is one of the only few areas in my life where I am comfortable asking AI. I am also very bad at names. But you already did that step, so sorry that that is not too helpful!

git add . > git commit -m "initial" > git push

Later when I git status or just look at the repo online… "oh crap I let .DS_Store in didn't I…" and then I remember to set up a .gitignore and make a new commit to take out the .DS_Store and put in the .gitignore.

I did try to read the sidebar resources on https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/. They're pretty overwhelming, and seem aimed at people who come in knowing all the terminology already. Is there somewhere you suggest newbies start to learn all this stuff in the first place other than those sidebar resources, or should I just suck it up and truck through the sidebar?

EDIT: At the very least, my goal is to have a 3-2-1 backup of important family photos/videos and documents, as well as my own personal documents that I deem important. I will be adding files to this system at least every 3 months that I would like incorporated into the backup. I would like to validate that everything copied over and that the files are the same when I do that, and that nothing has gotten corrupted. I want to back things up from both a Mac and a Windows (which will become a Linux soon, but I want to back up my files on the Windows machine before I try to switch to Linux in case I bungle it), if that has any impact. I do have a plan for this already, so I suppose what I really want is learning resources that don't expect me to be a computer expert with 100TB of stuff already hoarded.

Local dummy here (slightly more technical than the average user, likely far less than most people in this community) considering switching over. Checked the sidebar for any beginner's resources and looked at a few of the top posts and saw mostly Linux news and stuff meant for people already using the OS.

For my specific case, I use a Mac as my daily driver and (heresy) I am happy, but I also have a Windows computer that I am thinking of switching over to Linux. I use it to play games my Mac can't, and to run !BOINC@sopuli.xyz (I do not run the community but the thing the community is about) and/or Folding at Home whenever I'm not using it to game. Some of them are Steam games, some indies not on Steam, some emulated. Little to no multiplayer games, and absolutely no multiplayer that has anticheat. I have tried running some of the Windows-exclusive games with WINE and they worked but ran extremely slowly, however that was done on my Mac so it may not represent the results of running WINE on Linux.

 
 

I like browsing Local here because of that.

What language is this? (programming.dev)

I read something about once-reliable sites that would tell you the best [tech thing] now not giving legit reviews, being paid to say good things about certain companies, and I do not remember where I read that or which sites, so I figured I'd bypass the issue and ask people here. I'm pretty new to anything near the level of complexity and technical details that I see on datahoarder communities. I know about the 321 backup rule and that's it. This is me trying to find something to hold copy 3 of my data.

 

You'd think they'd just get rid of the indicator after I show up, or the day after the appointment, instead of leaving it there and saying I have -1 days left until it happens…

 

Not the creator, just stumbled across this and thought FOSS on Beehaw might like it
