What about a semi transparent terminal window? When I started out learning linux command line interfaces, it helped having the docs just behind my shell session for reference when all I had was a tiny old laptop. But now I don't bother ricing up my DE anymore. I just want some default window tilling keybindings that work out of the box, and I'm good to go.
Can you imagine the eye strain one would get programming on a translucent screen every day? One where your always having to keep your eyes focused on semi transparent text and graphical interfaces in the foreground, and not the distracting and ever changing background, continuously shifting in parallax as you adjust your head and viewing angle. Not having my display buttressed up against a wall, or having to deal with glare and screen reflections, or even low contrast monitors in general are all things I find infuriating already.
But I guess the Sci-Fi future of ergonomics is holograms. *You must have your migraines, and you must enjoy them.
Thanks so much for your hard work and the terrific beta release!
Here's to the success of Lemmy, Sync for Lemmy, and the rest of the Fediverse,
Cheers! 🍻
Hello world!

Could go the other way though. Ask them nicely if they'd be willing to free up their heap of inventory, and if they return you a cart overflow, you know you've stumbled upon the ultimate zero day coupon.
Ex. An NBA or Sports instance containing /c/NBA /c/NFL /c/NHL and all the related teams.
I've recently been looking into using Backblaze with their S3 object storage for hosting Lemmy, but it looks like they also have personal PC backup cloud offerings. Perhaps you could use them to do both?
The video player in Lemmy-UI really needs the loop feature in the playback settings. At least I'm not seeing the option via Chrome or Firefox for Android.
For anybody wondering what the Mastodon security issue is - CVE-2023-36460, you can send a toot which makes a webshell on instances that process said toot. #CVE202336460 #TootRoot
I thought this presentations humor was timely with recent events, given how for-profit ventures have been corralling open protocols and FOSS platforms, and may still be a reference that many old programmers would remember.
For a more serious discussion:
- Should programming.dev defederate from Meta if they implement ActivityPub?
Don't quote me, but I recall reading on GitHub that there are a few things to be refactored before Lemmy can support horizontal scaling approaches.
Have you tried multiple virtual desktops, or do you prefer to have a single alt-tab stack of windows? I love using a 3x3 grid of desktops, as the special zoning helps me to organize, separate, and spread out my multiple work tasks.
