Yeah I was considering using one of these two, out of curiosity.

I've heard complaints about CMake... on pre-2015 forums, so I don't know where it's at now.

I've done very little from the developer side of Meson but I do recall having tried a sound theme that, inexplicably, had a Meson-based installer. (It was just .ogg files iirc.) That's probably a good sign if someone picked it over an install.sh

Though you're right, there's probably little advantage in me not using a Makefile here, except again, curiosity

Gonna eat all the Wuxia pills.

Heavenly Pearl pill? Nom. Nine Color White Lotus pill? Nom. Holy Flame pill? Nom. You refine it, I dine it.

Once I eat all the dānyào Mike 'n' Ikes I'll either leave the room a Dragon Warrior or I'll meet Master Oogway in the spirit realm. Maybe he can give me advice on the Daoist approach on debugging C++ multithreading.

If my soul evaporates it'll be a bummer tho

Well, I don't mean downgrade him totally! Give him super strength or something but take it to its conclusion.

Authors realized this problem with Flash, so they added a mildly magic mystery Speed Force thing that solves the too-many-Gs problem with "nah he just slows time down or something and the Speed Force is mysterious and different" iirc.

But without the handwaviness he'd need to watch acceleration and calorie counts and speed up his thoughts and not slip and fall into an inertial death. If that makes sense (-‿-")

All of this stuff makes me wonder how hard it would be to make a fully pedantic story.

I've seen books where the hero was on the verge of winning but gets randomly concussed by a piece of shrapnel. Disoriented, hospital.

Another where the hero had hearing loss issues from solo pistol badassing too much, sans ear protection. (Forgot the titles of these stories).

But what would it take to meet everything? Imagine Superman. Now he has to mind his acceleration to save people. He also has to mind distribution of force, since he can't lift a plane without puncturing it. (Maybe he can make a little energy net under the plane somehow to distribute pressure?) And then he has to mind the Law of Conservation of Energy unless he splits apart matter somehow. And then this and that...

Will adherently realistic changes downrank most stories? I for one laugh my ass off when The Rock flexes his broken arm cast off in F&F.

I tried a bunch of boot-from-USB tests and it fixed itself. Woot

I see, I forgot about tampermonkey. At that point I can also just paste a bookmarklet into the script space itself and enable when needed.

Firefox-based mobile browsers unload pages for me when I tab away (maybe it's a Samsung killer thing? all outside of the scope of this question tho), which could be an issue, but if I'm careful then this method should do it. Thanks!

I couldn't roll back the kernel easily so I booted with linux-lts. Since this didn't resolve the issue, I assume it isn't a kernel problem (or it still is one and linux-lts isn't the right way to solve it). Same errors too.

I also tried Cheese on a few old rescue USBs (Kubuntu still on Plasma 5, old Devuan copy) to see if luck would grant me working drivers -- no dice.

Thanks though! x ᴗ x

Funny, I saw this to an extreme, a ways back.

Someone posted for software help on some forum about something and... they described everything. I shit you not, their description was a determinate system in it of itself.

CPU, GPU, SSD, ram, thermal fans, size measurements, age, resolution, price point, model, kernel version, installed package count, filesystem setup, update log, journalctl, dmesg, Xorg log, genome sequence. And the kicker?

First comment:

ok but i'm not sure what you're asking. what's the problem, exactly?

No other comments.

Here's something positive: precisely mentioning what they tried on a problem already!

If someone's stuck on a problem and defines what help they need, then I have no thoughts either way. It's just a problem, and something to be helped through. Neutral.

But if they describe what they did already, then I think "Wow, this person really put in some I-don't-give-up effort! Nice work, bro!"

Haha, thanks!

Btw I think a post like this would be better suited for !casualconversation@lemm.ee (not saying to repost there now) or a similar discussion sub ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

This isn't a qu-- actually you heard that already (˃ . ˂˶)

I can definitely attest to the culture, which is fresh air compared to a lot of networks (e.g. that Draw a Duck post is probably far beyond a lot of platforms' capabilities/proclivities)

I think some of it boils down to:

• The Lemmy Algorithm. This is a big flaw with Reddit -- people have the attention span for the first ten comments, and then subcomment upvotes halve (with decent std. dev -- we aren't Zipf's Law devotees there) until invisibility. I don't think my Reddit comments are even seen, let alone replied to. But here, new comments have a chance.
• The sense of "mineness". As another here said, there's responsibility to raise your communities right, and another to interact (hence, variably lower hostility). I don't post much but I respond a lot to the people who comment in them, because I feel that I have to contribute to keep this sanctum humanly alive.
• At risk of sounding self-absorbed/elitist, the entry level. People are here because they were dissatisfied with the state of other sites, then made a jump; this is a sieve that to an extent increases the standard of sorting by new. (This has limitations of course, and it isn't necessarily advocating for Lemmy to never be mainstream.)

Just my conjectures ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia (brain freeze)

it's just too long for something so mundane lol. who are you fooling, palatine??
