@kaia @mangeurdenuage Honestly? I don't know what's more expensive. Four sports cars or a property large enough to sustain yourself.

@aprica Meine Favoriten: Auto fahren oder Aufräumen

However, the Steam Deck seems to refuse to draw any more than 0.5A at 5V, even after boot. No good news for flights only offering USB-A ports for power. 😩

#SteamDeck

It appears that a Nintendo Switch will only charge at 0.5 A if it's not plugged in to a 15 V charger. The charger is definitely capable of 1.5 A or more. Does that sound right?

@ralim Oh, nevermind! It's charging at 1.45 A now, and it's also doing that when awake.

It seems like it's only negotiating the higher current when the kernel is active. Interesting.

@susannelilith Das ist sehr schade. Ich finde, ein preiswertes Ticket für den Regionalverkehr könnte den ländlichen Raum langfristig attraktiver machen, und so den Wohnraum in den Städten entlasten. Wenn ich für 9€ im Monat zur Arbeit pendeln könnte, müsste ich nicht in die Innenstadt ziehen.

Last post from this instance before migrating it to the new server.

Wish me luck! 🤞

On this day, 85 years ago, the "Night of Broken Glass" happened in Germany. A violent riot against jews, basically kicking off all the horrible nazi shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristallnacht

And now, in 2023, Germany is full of migrants openly expressing their hatred towards jews as if nothing has ever changed.

That actually kind of hits me a bit. For years and years in school, we were educated over and over, again and again about jews and nazis and everything to ensure such a thing like nazi Germany would never happen again. To be open and friendly towards all people, no matter where they are from. And now, it's actually kind of ironic that the very same people we where taught to welcome are now here among us, still hating jews...

@kaia Soll das da drin das Fleisch sein? Schmeckt das?

Beim heutigen Mittagessen-Duell Döner gegen Burger King gewinnt in der Kategorie Preis/Leistung heute eindeutig der Bulettenmonarch. 🍔

Scheiß die Wand an ist Döner teuer geworden.

@kaia I wish there was at least one modern smartphone that came with a keyboard these days. I understand most people don't need it, but just give us one.

@Natanox @kaia Je nach Gemeinde müssen sich Mietverträge an der ortsüblichen Miete orientieren.

Ich habe einen Kollegen der selbst Vermieter ist. Er würde seine Wohnung gerne günstiger anbieten, darf er aber nicht.

@kaia It's a multiplayer dice roller for playing tabletop games online. I'll release the source code once it's in a usable state.

I made the exact same thing in Unity before, but since Unity is an evil corporation now, and I hate C# anyways, I decided to remake it in Godot before adding more features.

Guys, it happened. :drgn_flat_sob:

Despite me being an absolute performance addict beyond reason, I have decided not to write my dice roller entirely in C++, for now. At least not until Godot 4.2 comes out, which brings hot-reloading to GDExtension.

GDScript is slow, and I really hate wasting people's CPU cycles, but prototyping the game logic is just so much quicker because it's right in the editor and changes are applied immediately.

I am also certain that I will be able to convert GDScript to GDExtension C++ fairly easily, because all I do is call engine functions, basically. It's just a matter of translating the syntax.

Last but not least, It would make a nice case study to directly compare the same implementations in GDScript and GDExtension C++.

Now, this is a prime example of peak efficient web design: https://hackerboards.com

- loads in under 200ms
- 132 KB transferred
- works without #JavaScript
- uses system font and native controls
- still looks and feels good

Well done, @hackerboards!

My only gripe is that it doesn't respect `prefers-color-scheme` of the browser.

@FoxVK @hackerboards It really is a shame. Back in the 2010s everyone wanted to dynamically load stuff with JavaScript because downloading the entire page every time was too slow.

Now, with bandwidths caught up, it's actually faster to just send the entire HTML and be done with it.

@kaia Not since they changed their design to that stupid vector graphics bear

@kaia 1. The battery seems too small.
2. It relies on the sturdiness of the seat post, which is usually pretty wonky in cheaper bicycles.
3. It would become dirty extremely quickly ride and probably fail because of mud and stones clogging up the mechanism.

@ente Germans actually hate other Germans, so they try their best to hide it.

Also, something about being inclusive of non German speakers.

@kaia @grillchen I do wonder though if having everything optimised for your CPU makes a perceivable difference.
