I need more coffee... I had to look up the definition of urethral in order to get it out of my head that you weren't talking about Urithiru. I was all ready to xpost to !cosmere@lemmy.ml.

+1 for Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) with Nextcloud / WebDAV for sync. I use the web clipper all the time.

self-promotion caveat: I'm building my sudoku game to be offline and fully accessible: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=digital.cyberpuffin.sudoku
The only thing that might constitute an "ad" is a button on the main menu that leads to a promotion page for my print-on-demand book.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, have an incorrect setting, or if this is expected behavior, but the thing that's been driving me nuts is when I go to share a link it always copies the source of the post for the lemmy link.
If, for example, I'm browsing on lemmy.ml and I want to share a post from lemmy.world, I'd like to be able to copy the lemmy.ml version of the lemmy.world post.
It doesn't make as much sense with public instances, but when you're using a private instance and you want to share with friends and family it can be kind of a hassle to retrieve the URL for said private instance.

The move to a subscription model is the disservice and requires no particular savvy to differentiate from free.
Macs and Chromebooks are fine for some people and won't require as much hand holding as a direct Linux install regardless of the distro.
People are going to rely on what others recommend when they don't know themselves. It's up to those people to cull the list from ten to two.
Is the person a budding tech that wants to hack on their system? Send them to Arch.
Are they a creative looking to craft? Throw them into Ubuntu Studios.
Maybe they're grandparents who barely understand tech. Ok, Mint or Elementary are good options... Just maintain SSH access with keys.
The options are a strength.

Your money, spend it how you want. Me, I'll eschew the bloated system designed to separate customers from their money in favor of the free and open source alternatives.
First time completing a compo, didn't get nearly as much of the game done as I wanted, but I'm quite happy with my year's progress. Still no option to rate a game. Found a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ludumdare/comments/16xgv1k/i_dont_understand_how_to_rate_other_games/) that described the same, so I don't think it's just me.
Dragonsteel 2022's Spoilers Q&A was uploaded to youtube yesterday. Sharing because the Hoid answer, but there's loads of good stuff in there. Piped Alternative, though I can't seem to find a way to jump to the 14:50 mark: https://piped.video/watch?v=NrpCDV6_sTc

Different date format: day / month / year; as opposed to the US standard: month / day / year.

It's a good rule of thumb, but Godot gives you enough rope to hang yourself with ... at least until the next update 😀
If you need to pass information around to different scripts and/or scenes then you may wish to employ Singletons.

Thanks to the successful smear campaign executed by the corporate lawyers.

I don't use the Steam version because it locks my steam library when I'm coding.
- edit: yeah, that update thing @MJBrune@beehaw.org mentions too 😀

Some more context: Godot established the "Godot Development Fund" to accept donations directly (https://lemmy.ml/post/4815592).

That's awesome, I wasted so much time on the web browser before playing over ssh and wasting even more time. Shame the drops didn't seem to speed up.

Pssh, Real techs use uuencode through the terminal to copy files.
I joke, but I've resorted to it when I only had a web based console.

I've only really used it for net boot (https://netboot.xyz/) myself. Maybe OOB back in the day with some iLo shenanigans, but otherwise I stick with rsync.

I bought a Toto HW300-W "Portable Travel Washlet" off Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O1G4LQ) back in 2018 and it still runs like a champ. The text is all in Japanese, but easy enough to figure out (or Google Lens it if you really want to know). * Edit: I should note that I paid about half of the current list price :-O

American here. Thanks to woot regularly selling them, I have a bidet on each toilet in the house. I have a battery operated travel bidet, because now I'm hooked.
It has certainly led to.... "Interesting" responses from house guests. There's always TP in stock, so it's not required. Butt I'm never going back if I can help it.
Ok, I'm going to get this out of the way first: I love Brandon Sanderson's work and the Cosmere is epic and awesome. It took me some time to warm up to Secret Project #3. My biggest gripe is once again Kate Reading. This time it wasn't pronunciation or tempo, it was her reading in Hoid's voice. Nails on a freaking chalkboard. The "Hoid-isms" are reduced as the book goes, so there are fewer occurrences of her mangling the Hoid I've grown to love (Michael Kramer) as the book goes. But holy crap that was jarring. My **unsolicited** and **unprofessional** advice to Brandon for the next book that switches gendered perspectives is to have a different voice handling the narration during the female perspective. I feel it would have been far improved to have the female perspective covered by ~~Pattern~~ Design / Kate with the male perspective being handled by Hoid / Michael. * Edit: I keep mixing up Pattern and Design. I swear I'm not racist, some of my best friends are cryptics.
