@tvler's StreetPass is an amazing browser extension to have as more and more organisations and individuals are setting up their presence on the Fediverse! The website explains the how/what/why better than I can :D

Aim wasn't the best today but I'll take the wins and the rank up to plat 🤗

Just realized that my automation for Crowdin fell over when the only change was a **new** language and so APS just didn't include the Polish translations submitted over 2 weeks ago.

The root cause of it was that the GitHub workflow used `git diff --stat` to check for changes before raising a PR, which does not take into account untracked files, a.k.a. "new files". Changing this to `git status -s` fixed that problem for good 👍

I don't understand Apex Legends at all and this is coming from someone who plays Valorant on the daily

@marcogom users can't discover an app that never goes live :P

@marcogom I feel Entertainment is a better fit since the app doesn't technically deal in the delivery of *news* specifically. Worked for me when I built a client app for https://lobste.rs which does relay news from time-to-time.

@kdrag0n Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have a personal need for OrbStack but I'll ask the people on our backend teams if they'd be interested in testing it out.

@kdrag0n I was showing off OrbStack to a few colleagues and one of them asked if it used https://github.com/machyve/xhyve or the macOS hypervisor directly, is that something you can say yet?

One day I will stop falling for the `for x in Iterable` vs `for x of Iterable` trap in #JavaScript but today is not that day.

Finally started watching #StarWars Andor, not disappointed in the slightest!

YouTube's greatest misfeature is treating all downloaded videos as part of a playlist which means if you fall asleep watching one video, YouTube will autoplay all videos you've downloaded and run down your battery 🫡

@fasterthanlime@octodon.social I think something like this solves the problem

This weekend is going to be a whirlwind trip to Varanasi and Allahabad for a cousin's wedding, best I can do is pray for my sanity during the ordeal...

@sasikanth 😭

Since I've started being more consistent with exercising I've found I'm quite exhausted by 7-8 PM but my brain is hard wired to not let me sleep till 12 AM at the earliest so it's been a rough few weeks trying to find a good sleep schedule. Hopefully I can change a few more habits and figure this out 😅

Super cool web app that you can use to go through your following list and pare it down if your timeline has become a bit of a mess.

@TartanLlama Oh I have so missed your sweet face Marshmallow!

@fasterthanlime@octodon.social The -1 on your reply is really the cherry on the top

@Gradle 8.0 is out

- Now uses Kotlin 1.8
- New interpreter for plugins block to speed up configuration
- buildSrc no longer runs tests by default and can now include other builds

And a lot more!

@mattro @chrishorner It will, but you should be able to find Google's Clock app on the Play Store. Try this link?

@osfanbuff63 It's linked near the bottom of this post where he introduces the concept https://research.swtch.com/telemetry-intro

Russ Cox appears to have started the discussion on telemetry in the Go compiler and made an excellent case for it, so naturally I can't wait for FOSS nerds on HN and GitHub to shit on it without reading any of the associated writing he put out.

#Kotlin 1.8.20-beta is now out with a ton of fixes to the K2 compiler, as well as initial support for WASI in the Kotlin/WASM target and for `@Volatile` in Kotlin/Native.

#Gradle 8.0 RC3 is out with another round of bugfixes.

Among other things, this release upgrades the embedded #Kotlin to 1.8.10, which includes the fix for the metaspace leak that was causing build failures for a lot of Kotlin 1.8.x users.

https://github.com/gradle/gradle/releases/tag/v8.0.0-RC3

A #Kotlin 1.8.10 compatible #JetpackCompose compiler is now available in the AndroidX snapshots repo!

@zkat That is vile

1 year too late but finally watching https://youtu.be/YQ_xWvX1n9g

@friendlymike Having very recently gone through the job hunt grinder myself, I feel this so much baha. Wishing for the best outcome for you!

Note to self: do not duo queue Valorant on the Mumbai server ever again

@zkat Yeah I don't think there's any good solutions for this other than using Camino and outright disallowing non-UTF-8 paths which sounds like something that isn't an option for you.

#Kotlin 1.8.10 was just released with a bunch of bug fixes, a big one among those is a Metaspace leak that caused the memory usage of Dokka and Gradle 8.0 RCs to significantly increase compared to Kotlin 1.7.x

@Gankra I moved a bunch of my projects to cargo dist yesterday and all of them worked perfectly, thanks for this!

@melix @yawkat I'd love to read about this, it's obvious in hindsight but the idea of synthetic projects would've never crossed my mind :D
