Would fediverse work in real life scenario - decentralization of everything? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Decentralized governments: already a reality in most places, with a clear hierarchy (federal, state/province, city). Local communities aren't always formed, but can coexist

Decentralized power sources: kinda there already? The thing is that it makes more sense economically to have a small number of big power plants than spread then thinly, especially due to industry needs that can be much larger than what residential lines typically transmit

Decentralized market: I mean, open fairs and small, corner markets are still a thing, no? Or what kind of market do you mean?

Decentralized currency: crypto kinda does that? There's no central authority issuing whatever-coins. In more real-life terms, decentralized currency is deeply tied to local economy and you can look at history for how something like that used to work: small kingdoms almost always wanted to mint their own coins, then whenever conducting trade with external markets, some exchange rates would be set based on supply/demand.

How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse? in c/[email protected]

The migration that happened from xitter being blocked in Brazil is a good example of a bandwagon effect, or "people go where people are". If xitter wasn't taken down, neither bluesky nor threads would've received such a big and immediate influx.

Also worth noting is that the vast majority went for those 2, bluesky more so than threads, instead of any mastodon instance because those 2 are the mainstream alternatives

Já usei pra achar alguns CDs daqueles que vinham com revistas de jogos, além de algumas das próprias revistas, mas a coleção ptbr ainda precisa crescer bastante, já encontrei alguns sites com mais conteúdo, focado nas revistas, que precisaria transferir de um lugar pro outro

Maybe you should try a more chaotic approach to solving the crimes in that game, like Josh does in this video

  • That's a link to a video from Let's Game it Out. Josh's thing is playing games the "wrongest" way possible.

Yeah, because all censorship is evil /s

How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse? in c/[email protected]

How do we get “normies” to adopt the Fediverse?

We don't. Normies take one look at anything that isn't mainstream and pinch their noses. A significant portion of them can barely make a search on the internet, they get lost at the idea of "websites" and are likely heavily biased against people who aren't using what "everyone is using"

Anedoctal experience: back when I was using dating apps, I've had a fair share of girls that stopped talking to me once I said I didn't have instagram, because it meant I was "hiding something".

You couldn't make Star Wars (1977) today because we haven't figured space travel yet

Why haven't more people attempted to create chat/IM clients out of e-mail services? (programming.dev)
 

Some weeks ago, I've come across Delta Chat, whose main thing is "(near) instant messaging using your email"

That left me thinking, has this been attempted before? If not, why? Also, why (besides servers' limitations as means to fight spam) isn't this solution used more often, given that e-mail has been a decentralized solution for well over 40 years now?

How do you make untextured Polygon2D cast small shadows? (programming.dev)
 

I'm thinking about making a character entirely out of Polygon2D nodes without textures. One thing I haven't figured out how to do is make each polygon cast a "permanent" shadow on top of the ones that are Z levels below it.

Below is an image of what I want to do, but using shaders/lights. I've only managed to do this by making extra polygons to fill in as the shadows.

How exactly do I have to set up a light source to achieve this effect? Using a DirectionalLight2D or a PointLight2D just brightens the polygons and I can't figure how to use a LightOccluder2D, or even if this is the correct way to get this result

(The polygons are green due to the DirectionalLight being green) - The occlusion simply applies the shadow on anything that is Z levels below it.

Simple app for making midi-like music? Music sequencer? (programming.dev)
 

I'm looking for something that "a child would find easy to learn", possibly a virtual keyboard with an obvious "start recording" button that does that, recording your keys on the selected Track, then allowing easy playback so you can listen to it.

Tennis uses the imperial system of scoring (programming.dev)
 

Tennis uses multiples of 15, but only up to 45, calls other points weird names, then closes a set, which has to be repeated at least 6 times for a separate scoring, with said scoring also needing to be repeated AT LEAST 3 more times, but can be dragged out ad infinitum.

Even table tennis has the decency of using a straight scoring system where 11 points wins a set and 2 sets wins the match.

How do you "separate" or "explode" a 3D mesh in Godot? (programming.dev)
 

I'd like to create an effect similar to 2 death animations that exist in Crash Bandicoot 3.

In one of them, Crash is disintegrated: all the triangle faces get separated and fly apart. A similar triangle separation is seen when he dies from fire, the triangles fall separately.

The second is a simple separation of the legs and torso. One enemy that exists in the 1st stage can cut Crash in half, which will cause the torso to stay in place while the legs walk away.

How often do you consume the stuff you pirate? How do you avoid "hoarding"? (programming.dev)
 

Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I'm mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.

Users of Vim and similars, what exactly makes it useful compared to other text editors? How much time do you suppose you save when working with it? (programming.dev)
 

I'd like actual examples instead of "I work faster", something like "I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv" or "I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt", things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.

The company behind Pixel Game Maker will use Godot as a base for their next engine, Action Game Maker (store.steampowered.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/16870410

However, despite all the attention Godot has been receiving, the switch from Godot 3 to Godot 4 called for the removal of Godot’s visual scripting system. This presented us with an amazing opportunity. We knew we needed to provide more to our users, and now Godot was lacking in a function that we know really well! And that’s how the current plan was kicked off.

Makes me wonder if they'll do something similar for RPG Maker if AGM does well enough commercially, since the RPG Maker Unite, which was supposed to work with Unity, died thanks to that charge the devs per-install kerfuffle.
