Der Prozess fand vor einem Jugendschöffengericht statt, weil Halemba beim Tatkomplex Geldwäsche aufgrund seines damaligen Alters noch unter das Jugendstrafrecht fällt.

Geldwäsche als Jugendlicher wirkt auch echt nochmal besonders hart. Braucht man dafür nicht i.d.R. irgendwelche kriminellen Kontakte, die einem die Kniffe zeigen? Wenn man da schon als Jugendlicher reinrutscht, da kommt man doch nicht mehr raus...

Sehen sie nun, ein Bug in der Lemmy-Web-UI:

🙃

on a machine that I ran for years, i basically did kde but with a different file manager

Might've been PCManFM-Qt, which is also used by LXQt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMan_File_Manager
At least, that's another Qt file manager I know of.

Well, or it was Krusader: https://krusader.org/
But Krusader is funky, i.e. similar to Total Commander and GNU Midnight Commander...

Yeah, one of the largest pieces of software humanity has created, next to Google Chrome and the Linux kernel, which are all around 30 million lines of code.

To give a frame of reference: With a team of 5 full-time devs at my dayjob, we can dish out a codebase of about 20 thousand lines over the course of two years.

A browser might be somewhat quicker to build, because the requirements are relatively clear at this point and you can start implementing many standards in parallel. But yeah, it's still just an insane amount of code.

Well, the point is that GitHub is owned by Microsoft, so if they're already developing an alternative to a Microsoft service, they would probably want to also use an alternative to a Microsoft service for their source code hosting.

You can do that where I live, but you can also borrow musical instruments in the library here, so no idea, if that's universal...

I would still call it virtually the same game, especially since they didn't even bother to fix lots of awful bugs.

But I think, we can both agree that Morrowind would need a significantly larger overhaul, if you wanted to make it feel 'modern'. You'd need voice acting. Perhaps optional quest markers. Well, and the combat system would basically need reimplementing from scratch.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 17 hours ago

For PC, there's already OpenMW to do that: https://openmw.org/

Basically, it's a fan reimplementation of the Morrowind engine, which you feed the original game files into. It also has a number of improvements over the original, like higher resolution, higher view distance and virtually no loading times.

To be honest, it's quite distributed for me, in the sense that I'm often just subscribed to a single person for a given instance. I have multiple subscriptions for these instances, though:

We could start sending radio waves there and if something happens to be alive there, the response wouldn't arrive until 300 years from now. 🫠

Oof, I was just talking about making things declarative there. If you want to configure it the old-fashioned way, like you would on other distros, then those difficulties don't apply.

In more general terms, though, it's a bit of a double-edged sword. The Nix package repository has more packages than other package managers: https://repology.org/repositories/graphs

So, the chance of finding an obscure software, that's already packaged, is rather high.
Here's the online package search, if you want to check the availability of some of the obscure software you use: https://search.nixos.org/packages

But then, yeah, the flipside is that, from what I understand, you can't just download a random executable off of the internet and run it, because of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard not being adhered to, as the post also mentions.
You can set up Flatpaks, and I believe AppImages would work, because those also live in their own FUSE filesystem. Well, and there is ways to emulate the FHS layout to get normal applications to run, too.

But yeah, way out of my field of expertise there. I have only one software installed which isn't packaged for Nix, which is a program I wrote myself.
And to get sufficient FHS emulation for that, I just needed this line in my config:

programs.nix-ld.enable = true;

More complex programs will need a bit of extra configuration: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nix-ld

(I could also add a flake.nix file into my software's repository, though, which would make it so it could be installed straight from my repo, as if it was packaged.)

I actually agree. This is my sneaky attempt at educating people about impl Deref. Although, I am still not sure how to feel about it, since I do actually see quite some similarities with inheritance...

 
 

I guess, I should've known better than to feel safe walking into this shop. 🫠

 

Was blindly reading scrolls to identify them. First, a scroll summoned butterflies. Then a scroll made it so they would explode on death.
Thought for half a second and decided to continue reading scrolls, because is there even a scroll that could kill these butterflies?

Well, there happens to be a scroll which summons poison gas.

Announcing Rust 1.93.0 (blog.rust-lang.org)
 

Seems like another routine release. At least no huge surprises that I'm seeing...

 

It's a so-called "music tracker" software which is a specialized kind of application that emerged in the 80s for composing 8-bit-style music.

In general, it has a rather rigid structure, best suited for straightforward 4/4 melodies, where you can throw in some effects here and there. But the nice thing about that is that you're very quick to produce good-sounding results, even if they may be simplistic.

The most recent update (which was apparently more than a year ago 😅) added a synthesizer to create your own samples more easily. You need samples to make each note play a tone, so this makes it even easier to jump into. As a result, I am having quite a bit of fun with it, again, which is why I decided to post here. 🙂

It is free and open-source (GPLv3).

 
 

Somehow missed this one in my RSS reader, so a bit late with the post. 😅
