Yeah like what the fuck? Every time I drive on a highway I encounter at least one potential life-ending moment, where if I hit the breaks one second too late I'll die. This is absolutely a trillion times worse than the slim chance of getting a subway car lit on fire lol

 

Just found out about this guy on YouTube named Nuxttux because I've been trying to make some social media videos.

Kdenlive is a completely different beast than the one that I remember using a couple of years ago. It has so much functionality in it, like all the "TikTok effects", proxy clips, rendering previews, visualizing effect curves between keyframes... like damn. This is actually legit software now for my basic needs.

The thing is, it seems like these were all added in the past 2 years, because I had 23.x installed through the Debian repo and I upgraded through Flatpak to 24.12 and it seems to have added all of these?

Anyway holy shit. Go give these guys some money. This is game changing

I've been using gptel for a couple of days and it is absolutely bonkers. It is Magit-level of thought out. However I enjoyed relying less on the transient menu, and rather focus on writing my own wrapper functions via gptel-request.

Honestly I've been kind of an AI skeptic until very recently, and gptel in addition to this article were what pushed me over.

That is the first time I've seen South Africa listed separately from Africa

That was quite light in substance. Since it's titled a "success story" I was hoping to find a deeper dive into challenges they faced - especially with Alpine, which isn't that trivial to use at scale, not even mentioning with Junior developers.

This article seems like writing for the sake of writing, or rather padding the blog page on your personal site

Damn that would be so cool

Damn that's cool, then maybe I should take a second look at Wordpress

Yeah actually writing Wordpress themes was easier than I thought. But I wrote them for the old editor, not Gutenberg – I opted for ClassicPress instead which was quite a banger in the effort-to-outcome equation

Hey sup:)

Idk if it's Cloudflare or something, but the problem is I have an RSS reader hosted on my Hetzner server in Germany, and requests originating from its IP are blocked. Well not exactly blocked, but they return HTML titled "Just a second..." rather than just RSS.

For example:

GET https://programming.dev/feeds/c/python.xml?sort=Active

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
   <head>
      <title>Just a moment...</title>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
      <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">
      <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
...

Obviously I totally understand if you wouldn't want to do that – I'm sure it's there for a reason, I was just hoping that this single endpoint could be an exception =]

Thanks!

I feel like Python is coming to its senses in the recent years, with releases focusing on typing constructs and the match statement. I think they're on the path to be a great statically typed language, don't you think?

How did you manage to convince friends and (especially) family to actually use Matrix? Quite impressive!

Yeah idk what went into her in this video. It only seems to be half a joke, which is terrible. The rest of her content is amazing so I'm quite confused

Your stance is great. I'm very glad you're taking the liberty to remove posts, moderated spaces who are strict about what kinda content is allowed are just more pleasant. Hackernews, lobste.rs and me_irl come to mind. Unsure why the poster in the picture reacted so dramatically lol
