@anomalocarididae I'm probably in a minority who got into Minecraft way after becoming a programmer, so my proficiency is there but unrelated to the game.

Started watching #StarWarsTheCloneWars a few weeks ago under the stipulation that I'd only do so while on the treadmill and it's done wonders for being consistent about exercise. I hate my brain sometimes but if it works, it works :thisIsFine:

TIL you can nominate a cat-of-the-release for Clippy!

@kdwk I actually tried Spot today and it didn't load in any songs when I clicked on my playlists, not sure if it's something wrong with my setup.

@chirpbirb I expected it to be a big problem when I finally switched over this month but honestly I've had more Wayland problems than NixOS problems. With nix-ld I can almost always run arbitrary binaries off the internet but I'll admit I do tend to look for it in nixpkgs first purely for convenience.

@ybinnenweg I'll give it a try and see if the missing features are a deal breaker. I tried Spotify-Qt and spot and was left fairly disappointed.

Using #Nix just adds infinite potential to the act of "fiddling with dotfiles for procrastination reasons"

Question for #Linux users: does anyone use a GUI #Spotify client other than the official one? I know ncspot is pretty solid on the terminal but I'd much rather have a GUI if I can help it.

@heyheymomo I can't tell if this is supposed to be socks (misspelling), stocks (finance) or stocks (cooking) because all sound good to me :thisIsFine:

@kiranrao this is the secret to how Apple has a higher floor for app quality, only people with infinite determination can endure this IDE long enough to finish a project.

I added a memory indicator to my GNOME top-bar-thingy and watching it fall of a cliff every time I close #AndroidStudio or #Minecraft just tickles my brain

@megalodon less code to maintain downstream :copium:

@nileane good luck! make sure to keep mob sounds enabled, I fell for the classic blunder in my very first run :blobFacePalm:

@nileane lovely to see a fellow #Hermitcraft fan in the wild! I ran Decked Out and hundreds of hours of watching do not do justice to the actual experience :D

Fat shaming #captcha is new.

Thanks hCaptcha

@jscarrott precisely, this kind of behavior is just unacceptable when the cli team is very clearly invested in solving the problem.

We need a ban on the word "enshittify" because #Linux users will apparently use that for literally anything at this point

https://github.com/cli/cli/issues/8462#issuecomment-1858410660

Sent in a small patch to Nixpkgs to fix some library loading problems in glfw but thankfully Nix itself is good enough for me to not have to wait for the merge before I can use it for my machines.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/276228

https://msfjarvis.dev/g/dotfiles/1187f1fdf1a4

@IslandUsurper I've used Vultr in the past and they were okay but I feel basically everyone else gives you more bang for the buck on the low end front, I ended up going with netcup.de on someone else's suggestion in the replies and they seem to be quite solid so far.

@kueckieben netcup were being pretty lovely to get set up with but the NixOS image I created using my Flakes configuration and https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators didn't end up booting, so that's some debugging for me to do tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: nevermind I completely forgot the netcup server I chose is arm64 and tried to boot an x86_64 image on it 😬

@EdyBolos things seem fine for me on both Linux and macOS, maybe it's a misbehaving plugin?

I've been having a fairly subpar experience with running @nixos_org on Digital Ocean and/or Oracle Cloud, do people have any recommendations for VPS providers that they know work well with #NixOS and won't immediately ban my account for the crime of living in India (looking at you Hetzner and Scaleway)?

Installed #NixOS on Sunday and I'm already up to 61 generations because of how often I was fucking things up lolrip :blobF:

```
nixos-rebuild --fast list-generations --json | jq .[0].generation
61
```

@afzal that makes sense, I'll give it a honest go for the next few days and see how I fare. Thanks!

I got my exercise consistency going basically by gamifying it so I guess I just haven't found something that'll reward me for sleeping at a normal hour with trivial affirmation

I set my phone's bedtime mode to automatically come on at a fairly absurd 1AM and yet I still find myself manually disabling it each time. Feels like there's no possibility of me ever fixing my sleep schedule.

@Gankra I briefly had the misfortune of being in charge of some TypeScript and I think it was somehow the worst IDE experience I've had while somehow having the most "blessed" components involved.

ESLint ALWAYS wants to be screaming at you inside VSCode, and the VSCode TypeScript plugin actually doesn't even use the version of TypeScript your project is using** so a bunch of things in your tsconfig file will silently not work as intended.

(**): by default, you can change it.

Minor #AndroidDev achievement: have AOSP regress core functionality in your app https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/301862978

Running proper #NixOS on my daily driver is exposing me to entirely too many niceties that I had just not bothered looking for when my setup was Nix on $DISTRO. Installing Gradle with toolchains preconfigured is just so simple:

https://msfjarvis.dev/g/dotfiles/b20831c181ec

@AngryAnt Don't really see the point of Flatpak when everything I want is already packaged in Nixpkgs.

@mhwombat I didn't find anything in the issue tracker but some google-fu turned up a workaround.

https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/111601188229840448

The problem ended up being incompatibility of GLFW with Wayland which needed a patched version that a fellow Minecrafter had already committed into nixpkgs so it ended up being a fairly simple fix, albeit one that was not obvious in the slightest :/

https://github.com/msfjarvis/dotfiles/commit/33e65873dbc5

@fourlastor Seems like someone already did it, and it does fix the problem! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/243950

@fourlastor I tried using glfw-wayland but unfortunately Minecraft depends on a pre-release version of glfw and the APIs introduced there (that Minecraft is using) do not exist in any stable releases as of now. I'm working to get a glfw-wayland-git kind of package going for myself to see if that helps.

I'm inclined to believe this is an incompatibility between my presumably Wayland-using GNOME DE and my NVIDIA GPU but there doesn't seem to be an obvious solution.

Was planning to stick with #NixOS for good but I'm having trouble getting #Minecraft to run correctly and that is a very strong dealbreaker. Gonna poke at it for a bit and if I can't fix it, off to Linux Mint I go again.

Found a workaround: https://androiddev.social/@msfjarvis/111601188229840448

@sen If only!

Using GNOME did the job, still missing a bunch of my stuff but overall quite satisfied so far. Will continue iterating over the next few days to get it to a more functional state.

https://github.com/msfjarvis/dotfiles/commit/0924ddaa5c4efcde8f2d910975dbec07bb54f5d5

First attempt with the graphical installer resulted in a system with a broken display manager, assuming my choice of Cinnamon caused it and going with Gnome now.

My #LinuxMint installation inexplicably broke down with Cinnamon unable to boot so I'm finally moving over to #NixOS

No way this goes south :thisIsFine:

I knew there was a reason why I wasn't using the #Gradle `InclusiveRepositoryContentDescriptor.includeGroupAndSubgroups` API in my builds but hadn't actually looked, finally did it today and found this bug report which matches the issue I was seeing. Subscribed, let's see when this gets resolved.
https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/26569

Fine I'm working on it now

I'd go and finish it today but there is just so much #Minecraft I could be playing instead...

I had a blog post sitting for 6 months with a single line written, then over the course of two flights I wrote 1555 words and now I'm procrastinating again on putting the final touches on it :thisIsFine:

Realized that meeting my daily activity goals was feeling *too* easy the past few days so trying out a 50% increase across the board, excited to be making tangible progress on the weight loss journey.

@schrottkatze @pixelfed @dansup Firefox doesn't support offline translations on mobile so the question doesn't really apply, on desktop they appear to be using https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator

Just discovered @phanpy can refresh timelines automatically, somehow the best web client only keeps getting better

@b0rk I use --no-merges to cut down some of the noise but it's not an ideal situation.

I tend to rely on git blame a lot within IntelliJ to grok changes to individual files.

Congrats @fmeum :blobBongo:

@hankg the code completion features in your screenshot have existed in JetBrains IDEs since before the advent of ChatGPT and OpenAI, they run locally and do fairly basic classification. The one to lookout for regarding privacy implications is https://www.jetbrains.com/ai/

@danluu hCaptcha has single-handedly denied many websites my business because of how *incredibly* frustrating their captchas can be.

It is slightly maddening how hard Nilay Patel makes it to like him, why does the occasional spot of good journalism have to be padded by absolute bullshit like this

Android Blobs were the peak of #emoji and everything else since has just been a weak attempt at imitation :blobChefKiss:

@gp5 yeah I regret not doing this sooner, was pleasantly surprised to discover it can fast charge my Pixel 8!

Using my MacBook as a glorified power bank might be the most disrespect I've laid onto this thing to date.

@saket I assumed Pocket's doing all of this server side, if it doesn't need an active internet connection when I try to read it later then that just might be the easiest solution.

The state of masking here at #Delhi airport is quite abysmal, most of the staff here is unmasked let alone the travelers. Quite sad that #COVID is no longer taken seriously in India.

GitHub searches indicate the answer for this might be a resounding "no", so there's a slight possibility I will ignore the other two WIP features for Claw and work on this...

Is there an Android app that I can share articles into and have it cache a copy locally for reading later? Basically seeing if I can avoid building that into Claw myself :blobUgh:

A blueberry muffin and an americano at the airport being the most normal breakfast I've had in the past 5 days just reinforces the fact that I should get better at cooking for myself lolsob

@b0rk @tqbf @charliemac I feel I'm fairly well versed with Git and even I've done the good old yeet and repeat because a lot of times it's just not worth unfucking whatever I have accidentally done to the repository.

@yosh just today I was talking to someone on here about Firefox's subpar handling of separate profiles compared to Chrome and got a condescending reply guy saying how I am contributing to the browser monoculture by being irritated by a supposedly irrelevant pain point. Even though I use Firefox everywhere.

It is so, so annoying.

@neil I literally *just* had to mute someone and left a note to remind me to never unmute them lol

@yoasif @svenjacobs I don't particularly appreciate the condescending tone so I didn't want to answer, but I'll humor you once before I mute you. I use Firefox on all machines and OSes as my primary browser, despite the very annoying gap in functionality that you elect to trivialize just because it doesn't affect you. In the future I would recommend not barging into someone else's conversation being the asshole riding their imaginary high horse.

@svenjacobs yeah this exact thing kinda pisses me off too, I tend to use multiple workspaces and with Chrome it would open links in the "closest" window which used to fit into my workflow but Firefox always insisting on opening the default profile is frustrating. It seems the containers extension is the real "blessed" solution but it simply doesn't work as well if you have sites that you want to use across both profiles.

@bagder wow I had no idea you were a part of Rockbox! I used to look at it with mild envy, saddened that nothing I could get my hands on was capable of running it :D

Finally went to bed at 3:30 AM and am still groggy at 10:30 AM, thanks coffee.

#JetpackCompose Compiler 1.5.6 is out with #Kotlin 1.9.21 support

#AndroidDev

@Gankra Quite recently, actually! It sure is nice to hear :D

@algo_luca I literally just saw a message on our Slack from our ops team that mentioned a doc being stale lol

@imperio Might wanna edit these to add a space between the colon and the URLs, some clients like phanpy.social seem to interpret it as part of the URL which breaks it over on GitHub.

In the next release Claw will gain the ability to export your saved posts in a format understood by browsers to aid data portability. This also works with bookmark managers like Linkding, allowing for cross platform access to your favorite Lobsters stories.

Looks over at my project :blobSmileSweating:

I think these past two weeks have been the longest I've gone without making any changes to Claw, my lobste.rs client. Feels kinda weird...

Randomly feeling the urge to install #Figma and teach myself how to do design

Another weekend spent refactoring my dotfiles for no reason at all...

@seldo I believe even breaching your phone is not a necessity, and some social engineering at your telecom provider will also leave you vulnerable. It's a shit show through and through :(

Acting like a real programmer this month by being too lazy to do AoC yet again.

like, I appreciate them making an official build available but it is quite annoying to have to download a deb update, install that, then wait additional multiple seconds for more Electron code push updates to be installed.

At some point #Discord has to realize that it is 100% certified not anybody's lucky day when it takes an additional 3 minutes before they can launch a chat app.
