I've just had a quick poke around, and you can load up other people's work - there's a massive variety which shows just how much is in this simulation program.

You can load up simulations with the bottom-left icon, then hit the pause button that's bottom right to start them off. If any talk about "sparking" they mean use the SPRK tool to put electricity in the thing they're talking about - you can search for SPRK using the search tool above the pause button, or find it under the Electronics menu (second one in that right-hand side with the plug icon).

I'm curious to know the impact of ad-blockers - I didn't see you it mention in your post or blog, so I'm assuming you tested with stock browsers. Also, did you clear history and data from your Android install since it sounds like you'd normally use that?

I'm assuming that ad-blockers would be a net benefit to both battery and performance, given that in a way it's an optimisation. The boost from removing data and computation (that the user doesn't want anyway) must be far higher than the overhead of the plugin, right?

I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you'll see you're pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you're missing a lot, if you've blacklisted them).

Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. "Only" 22% is still a lot in my book.

I'm interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?

If you're blocking everything that's proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.

I haven't used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don't just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.

Lisp variants like Clojure are being used for new projects (e.g. Logseq) but I'd be surprised to hear of anyone choosing COBOL for a greenfield project.

Well good news then, since they were joking (I guess) - it's a mod to improve Grim Fandango Remastered's graphics.

I used to have some with e-ink displays that showed how full they were, but I always wished I could use them to show a label instead.

CNLabelContactRelationYoungerCousinMothersSiblingsSonOrFathersSistersSon

The label for the contact’s mother’s sibling’s younger son or father’s sister’s younger son.

I thought it was just a male cousin, but it doesn't include a cousin who's your uncle's son. Which culture needs this?

function delete-branches() {
  git branch |
    grep --invert-match '\*' |
    cut -c 3- |
    fzf --multi --preview="git log {} --" |
    xargs --no-run-if-empty git branch --delete --force
}

This is really slick.

So you think it's too unreasonable for you to cope with?

I think all of the communities would rather have something more than just a bare link. I'm not sure why you're responding with such indignation, to be honest, it was a perfectly reasonable suggestion, politely made.
