Personally, I’ve been happy using an LG TV for a single monitor setup. I have had to switch to KDE Plasma v6 for better font rendering given its unusual OLED pixel layout, as well as for native HDR support. But it’s been nice to have a large physical font while still at default DPI. Although, I wouldn’t’t mind upgrading to 8K later when they get affordable, as the smallest 4K TVs at 42" happen to push the physical DPI down towards that of just 1440p panel.
4·5 months agoTagging an image is simply associating a string value to an image pushed to a container registry, as a human readable identifier. Unlike an image ID or image digest sha, an image tag is only loosely associated, and can be remapped later to another image in the same registry repo, e.g
latest. Untagging is simply removing the tag from the registry, but not necessarily the associated image itself.
Ah man, I’m with a project that already uses a poly repo setup and am starting an integration repo using submodules to coordinate the Dev environment and unify with CI/CD. Sub modules have been great for introspection and and versioning, rather than relying on some opaque configuration file to check out all the different poly repos at build time. I can click the the sub module links on GitHub and redirect right to the reference commit, while many IDEs can also already associate the respective git tag for each sub module when opening from the super project.
I was kind of bummed to hear that working trees didn’t have full support with some modules. I haven’t used working trees with this super project yet, but what did you find about its incompatibility with some modules? Are there certain porcelain commands just not supported, or certain behaviors don’t work as expected? Have you tried the global git config to enable recursive over sub modules by default?
I fell for it. It took me a minute into the game time to figure what was up and double check today’s date.

What was that device, an early cellular modem or 802.11 wireless bridge? The thing ontop of the briefcase looks like a head visor with an antenna. Google search keywords are just noise.

Woops, yep.
Pro tip: If you check the conical URL (youtube.com) first, the Lemmy web UI will help catch reposts before they are accidentally submitted.
I switched from using the short (e.g youtube.be) or external URL mirrors for that same reason, and just let the bots comment with privacy mirrors for those who prefer. Using the conical URL, aside from cross post detection, also ensures the thumbnail image and preview text get cached consistently.

You can checkout the list of other Lemmy Apps as well over on this community:
Check the pinned post at the top. Unsure how accessable they are yet:

That’s odd. Directly clicking this link redirects to the user page on lemmy.world, where as if you search for the lemmy user name in the search bar via mastodon, then click on the user there, you can get to the same URL without being redirected away from mastodon.social… Very confusing.
BTW, I recently found this Lemmy community !audiogamers@sh.itjust.works . @MostlyBlindGamer@rblind.com , have you seen this one?
I had not seen a news video report on audio games before. I’m a big fan of audio books, as I have a tough time reading at length, so I’m thinking of getting into audio games as well. Perhaps my ancient laptop will finally be able to play a modern title, as I’d assume the load on the GPU should be minimal 😆. That is, until realtime dialogue and synthesized speech becomes the norm in video games, and I’d yet again need a hefty GPU for running large language models and deep neural networks on my gaming rig 🫠.
For transcriptions, do you think it would be a best practice for users to add them to the alt text, the post body, or post comments? I’m guessing alt text would be most salient for screen reader ergonomics, but not as widely noticeable for errors, bias, or omissions, like with titles. Body text would be more commonly viewed, and thus held to more scrutiny and correction. Comment text would be easiest to track corrections or revisions on transcriptions, but not as discoverable if buried in the comments.
2·1 year agoCould you open a pull request to categorize all this into the awesome list for lemmy?
I see you’ve added the Awesome Instances list, but dbeley’s is more general, e.g:
alternative front-ends, mobile apps, libraries, tools, guides, etc. Thank you!

A photo of an opened semi-trailer unloading a cargo van, with the cargo van rear door open revealing an even smaller blue smart car inside, with each vehicle captioned as “macOS”, “Linux VM” and “Docker” respectively in decreasing font size. Onlookers in the foreground of the photo gawk as a worker opens each vehicle door, revealing a scene like that of russian dolls.

That all said, the web UI for Lemmy instances, including rblind.com, is installable as a Progressive Web App (PWA):
This allows you to use the site as a native app, separate from the browser, while being able to reuse similar browser supported features.
I just wanted to suggest including some more helpful links to your sidebar.

Have you had any luck with projectors for coding? I’ve only ever used them for large mob-programming sessions, like during hackathons. I feel like the low/narrow contrast of projectors makes it hard to use for dark mode, not to mention the space real estate requirements. :P
