Tools for freeing your project from the clammy grip of autotools.
Hi! Great post, good research with sources, great initiative, thank you. 🙏
Oh, I thought they wrote the *removed* text verbatim... My bad.
So, OK, I'm willing to learn: please show me good brands then.
They need to resist to mud (thick mud, the kind with a ton of suction that will keep your soles when you try and move), seawater, rocks and sand, and pretty dense vegetation.
They also need to have steel toe caps, good soles (vibram or equivalent if possible) that don't slip, and that aren't too hard (wet stone is enough of a female dog as it is), and to go higher than my ankle.
The best brand I tried so far was caterpillar, but they lasted only 3 years. That's a far cry from "a decade or more".
Exactly. Nah, we just gotta have man made monoculture everywhere, or a desert, right? So that, in the end, it just amounts to deserts anyway. Yay. 😶
That, plus all the obvious propaganda, dogmatic echo chambers, and people who misspell stuff voluntarily, or make extremely basic mistakes ("your wrong", "its that", "there logic", etc) more than once.
Yeah so, the amount of meals is correct. But that's about it. I mean, I can't say about the taste, to each their own, but one kg of cow meat needs two dozen kg of grain.
That's about as inefficient as it gets.
As for the leather, the industry doesn't like products that last a decade, so it isn't actually using the leather in such a way. Industrial leather boots last a year tops.
Finally, pet food is made out of discarded cuts of meat, the uglies, etc. But also lots of cereals, and vegetables.
So we could really afford eating less meat. It isn't good for anything. Not for us, not for the other species (certainly not for the cows, that get often half assed butchered in a hasty way because of quotas and profit), and absolutely not for the ecosystem.
But I guess the taste is all that matters.
I saw the image first. But as I checked the username, I already knew it was you.
Quality meme, as always. 👌
Finally, a Scottish layout.
"I'm afraid that's not a choice..."
Yeah, ♡♡♡♡♡ian princes will be mad disappointed.
BTW, cool meta-use of removed internet censorship to illustrate your point.
It happens to the best of us 🙂
Also, could you please update the title of your fediverse post? The article now says 21k 🙂
Glad to learn that HTTP/0.9 is still "in use globally" then. A bit surprising, but since it's all about stretching definitions past what is reasonable, for the sole purpose of having the last word, let's shoehorn anything into anything to the infinity and beyond!!! 🤡🚀
If you need to provide tools that cross security boundaries then [...] a small web app is better [than sudo].
A web app? Effin really!!? 🤨
“Can’t share item,” was the header. “You cannot share this item because it has been flagged as inappropriate,” read the body text.
FAFO.
We've been fanfaring for a decade and a fucking half for people not to see "the cloud" as a miracle solution, and to use it carefully. We've been warning that it is a blatant invitation to vendor lock in, that it is singlehandedly creating oligopolies, and that exactly this would happen.
Did people listen? No. Did they aggressively confront (or passive-aggressively ostracise) us? You bet your bottom dollar they did.
And now? Now they come around with surprised_pika.gif faces and whine to whoever listens that they are victims, and that they couldn't "possibly have seen this coming".
No. They are enablers of abusers, they themselves abused anyone with even a modicum of common sense, and they brought this upon themselves a thousand times over.
FAFO. And at this point, reading such story fills me with the most powerful schadenfreude I have ever experienced.
It is one of the most private implementations of AI that I've seen though.
Based on what information/criteria?
So I was right. It is about the controller...
Usually people use Hugo.
But I would be very interested in a less contrived alternative.
Thanks for doing this.

I heard that images can't be deleted from Lemmy instances, due to bugs and various implementation details. Here is an image that has been deleted from the internet, to see if that fixes it.
Edit: I was searching for a "meta" community, since this is a post on Lemmy about current Lemmy limitations... But it turns out that this might very well be off topic. I apologise if it is the case... I would gladly take suggestions on what community would be best for this post, BTW.
A perfectly normal warning on Instagram. KOSA is going to be perfectly fine... 🔥🔥🐶☕🔥🔥

Dr Ian Cutress's take on the current situation
Nobody posted it, I waited, but since this is pretty relevant, here it is.
SimpleX Chat
Hello everyone,
I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining "mainstream" usability.
And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).
The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).
Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?
Infinity for Reddit's latest update...
To each their own, but I find this decision really misguided.
It's her money, not mine, so whatever, but l do not expect her to turn a profit in, rather the opposite.
In my view, the cross section of "IfR" users and people willing to subscribe monthly is rather small (especially if the money mostly goes to reddit - assuming I could afford it, I, for instance, would rather fund an open system like Lemmy).
And if Apollo's dev Christian Selig decided that it wasn't worth it with an already established paying user base, who already has a strong culture of subscriptions and exaggerated pricings, and one of the highest volume of users, at what probably was the peak usage of the platform; I don't see how a small app like IfR can survive.
That, or Christian made a pretty expensive mistake...
Reddit is claiming that Christian Selig (the Apollo dev) attempted to blackmail them
From the tread on reddit:
Bizarre allegations by Reddit of Apollo "blackmailing" and "threatening" Reddit
About 24 hours after that call with Reddit, I received this odd message on Mastodon:
"Can you please comment publicly about the internal Reddit claim that you tried to “blackmail” them for a $10,000,000 payout to “stay quiet”?"
Then yesterday, moderators told me they were on a call with CEO Steve Huffman (spez), and he said the following per their transcript:
Steve: "Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million."
Steve: "This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us."
Wow. Because my memory is that you didn't take it as a threat, and you even apologized profusely when you admitted you misheard it. It's very easy to take a single line
One has got to admire the optimism of people imagining there will be "future historians"...

Also, you can find up-to-date information on the most recent web archive of the brands page on the nestle website and search for brands here.
The change-log for 0.0.32-alpha is heartwarming and I can't wait for 0.0.33-alpha
Up to version 0.0.31-alpha, the sole contributor for almost every release was @dessalines@lemmy.ml. In 0.0.32-alpha, 5 new contributors (@a1studmuffin, @Anna-log7, @oscarnylander, @russjr08, @twizmwazin) joined and contributed an additional 12 changes.
I can't wait for version 0.0.33-alpha and up, to see all the future improvements to the app. :) \o/
At the same time, it would be so easy to prevent if everyone just stopped buying nestlé products...
Intelligence officials say U.S. has retrieved craft of non-human origin.
Now hopefully this classifies as world news...
Text from the article:
A former intelligence official turned whistleblower has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.
The information, he says, has been illegally withheld from Congress, and he filed a complaint alleging that he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures, reported here for the first time.
Other intelligence officials, both active and retired, with knowledge of these programs through their work in various agencies, have independently provided similar, corroborating information, both on and off the record.
The whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, 36, a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan, is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). He served
Post tags and flairs
First off, I apologize if I'm asking something that has been talked about over and over, but I didn't find much relevant information so far (aside from what I will discuss below).
From what I understand, post tags/flairs are a requested feature, but from @dessalines@lemmy.ml's comment here, tags are already a thing?
Or does his answer mean that people can use a special syntax (like [foo] or ::bar::) in post titles, which can then be searched like any other token?
Either way, I think it makes sense to allow tags in posts, like mastodon allows #hashtags, if only for the purpose of classification and moderation.
Indeed, I was looking at an eventual way to link https://lemmy.ml/c/Jerboa to the Jerboa issues on GitHub using GitHub actions and [this action](https://github.com/marketplace/

Hey @Dessalines, I wanted to report an issue on github repo, and I noticed there are 64 open issues, and you are virtually the only one contributing.
I would offer my help triaging the issues. My GH nick is the same as here. 😊
