I see. Surely that means that the source files have to be structured in a certain way then. If a design for a piece of print media was flattened to a single rasterised layer, or a video project had all the effects baked into the clips, a freelancer could deliver in the right format, but that file would be much less useful than if every operation was preserved non-destructively. I would think some artists wouldn't want to just give away how they achieve certain effects.

I don't know if that's much of a thing in creative fields, or if there are conventions on things like keeping text as text, not editing it as vectors or pixels.

Ah, I see. I guess that varies by client but you wouldn't want to limit the work you take like that. That's a difficult situation to change.

Why would a freelancer need to follow an industry standard? Do you have to share project sources with clients in proprietary formats rather than just the final output formats?

There are still opposite charges - each colour has an 'anti'-colour. So R+~~R~~=colourless G+~~G~~=colourless etc. This is how mesons work (pairs of quarks). Baryons are triplets of quarks but there are also combined tetra- and pentaquark states also.

You can think of anti-red as being cyan etc. but the colour theory can be more confusing than it's worth.

I see. mygpo is the code that runs gpodder.net. I guess it could be self-hosted, but it doesn't look straight forward to do so. I missed it since in the docs it's under the developer section, not the user section. gpoddersync seems much easier as long as you're ok using Nextcloud. It would be nice if mygpo were packaged for Nix or docker. Maybe I'll give that a go at some point.

That doesn't clarify anything for me. Is the client application also the service, or are they (as I believe) two different things with the same name?

What I'm really getting at is that FreshRSS is self-hostable and as far as I can tell - gPodder isn't.

I don't think I understood what gPodder is. The website says gpodder.net is a sync service, but doesn't seem to indicate that it can be self hosted. The list of clients has gPodder listed as a desktop PC client to gpodder.net. Does the desktop client also work as a server?

AntennaPod can sync to gpodder.net (only at that url?). When I tried it I got a load of timeouts. Instead I enabled the gpoddersync NextCloud app to my own server. That worked like a charm between AntennaPad and kasts on PC.

Thanks for posting this. I see it was on a few other communities last week but I missed it somehow. Great debugging and reminds me of the classic GTA5 online mode fix.

Does anyone know how debug symbols came to be available for the old games?

Infrared lasers aren't visible. They're still higher frequency than radio waves. To say that visible light is visible radio is to say that the sky is green, just that it's predominantly blue coloured green.

I bet that kid doesn't even know what a computer is.

I would say don't give DOGE any ideas but I think that's less bad than some of their own.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/657404/less-half-sympathetic-toward-israelis.aspx

Gallup get 46% Israeli support in response to the question "In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?" Palestinians get 33%.

 

Has anyone watched the Secret Level shorts released so far?

Unreal Tournament was a huge nostalgia hit for me and I think the episode was a great interpretation of it. I highly recommend for anyone who played.

The Warhammer 40k episode was also great though I don't have the same kind of investment in the games or media there. The others seemed fairly good for what they are but there's only so much that can fit in a 5-15 minute piece.

Amazon Prime Video link for anyone interested.

Some neat clips of the FLEX rover being driven and the hardware prototypes they have. The video seems to mostly serve as a hiring call though.

 

No word about their plans, but a video on the steps taken to ruggedise a cube sat for 10k·g acceleration. Seems like they're still doing something.

 

This video appeared on my home page and I had to look twice at the thumbnail: The Tomb of Saint Peter Explained

 

Here's the requisite Manley analysis of the GEM 63XL SRB anomaly on today's Vulcan certification flight.

 

I'm upset that a meme I tried to remake with Unicode box drawing characters lines up terribly in apps: https://lemmy.ca/post/28490027 Shouldn't code blocks render in monospace?

On Lemmy's web frontend it's perfect:

On Connect it looks like this:

On Jerboa it's basically the same:

Eternity does use monospace but the box drawing characters seem to be too wide.

All I can find about it here is one post from a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/1492857

Sorry for the crap photos - I just wanted to share these extra keys I added to my Lily58.

I noticed there was a gap in the matrix so I tacked a spare hot-swap socket to the pads on the back of the PCB. That worked with minimal modification to my QMK set-up. I couldn't really use it dangling off some wires so I set out to make an extension that would slot in and be retained by one of the standoffs. I don't have a laser cutter or 3D printer so I just hacked these out of a sheet of ABS plastic following a printed template and glued them up. They're nice and solid and line up really well, despite being rather rough around some of the edges.

I'm finding the 1.5U keys a bit confusing at the moment, swapping them out for 1U keys makes it a bit easier to home my thumbs. These are certainly much easier to access than the outermost keys on the lower row or the keys below the display. I'm thinking they need to be called Lily Pads.
