Some really cool stuff in this release. Godot keeps getting better and better.

I worry that using mouse pointer analysis as part of CAPTCHA might pose issues to those using assistive technologies. I completely understand the desire to block intrusive scrapers, but worry about it costing accessibility.

Plasma keeps getting better and better. Well done to KDE for all the hard work!

Genuinely, the wiki, and the AUR are the two killer features that keep me on Arch (not that I have any reasons to change). Arch is an incredibly polished distro, and is a real pleasure to use.

Thank you, it was a lot of work but has been really great seeing the reception to the project so far.

Isn't that context menu the one that is disabled from within the context menu itself? Or have they removed that option?

Interesting, I always heard that x11 was not getting dropped until Plasma 7. While I am now fully on wayland myself, still not sure how to feel about this, feels a bit soon.

You might not need to even for Minecraft, have you seen this project? https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.mrarm.mcpelauncher (Android version of Bedrock made to work on Linux)

I’ve been using Lit to develop my Minecraft skin editor and it has been really nice to work with. Having initially tried working with vanilla web components, then creating my own wrapper class to make them easier to work with, I can say that Lit makes web components really nice to work with.

Is it possible that translation runs on the inference process, but is controlled by flags other than the browser.ml ones?

Love the title.

For anyone unaware of the pun, “snag” is slang for sausage in Australia.

In my experience, with KDE Plasma, Nvidia is quite awful. Animations are laggy, and the desktop slows down when a new window opens. As well, there are a bunch of small issues I’ve only seen when using Nvidia.

Saw discussion around Oklab / Oklch and thought this would be a good share. Good explanation of colour spaces, and showcase of Oklab.

Is it just me, or does the super market's logo look AI generated?

You can use wayback_machine_downloader to automate downloading the archived pages https://github.com/hartator/wayback-machine-downloader/

The websites are welcome to expect payment if they so desire. They chose to host the content for free, and we get to choose which of that content we consume, and which of it we block. They have as much of a right to advertise as we have to block advertisements.

I have spent the last year or so restoring a Minecraft skin editor site, that had gone offline for good. I had used that site for years to make my own skins as a child, and while I hadn’t used it in a couple years, I still had friends that relied on it to make their own skins, and were greatly disappointed losing the site.

Starting from a wayback machine archive, I hacked some much needed improvements in to the minimised jquery-based, javascript (a right pain but an excellent learning experience). I implemented a Rails backend for the gallery, and have since been slowly improving it, replacing assets, and growing a community around it.

We recently hit 10k skins on the site!

I am working on rewriting the actual editor from scratch, and releasing the code as open source once all original assets/code have been swapped out.

If anyone wants to check it out: https://needcoolershoes.com/ (The editor doesnt work on mobile, but the gallery does)

What is wrong with the font? the site is nearly unreadable.

The font seems to fix itself when zooming in a bunch.

Recommending glue on a pizza is a stupid answer.

Yet another example of why copyright is a blight on humanity.

It would seem the Manhatten project got more bang for its buck.

Some really great changes to the technical side of the game.

This update comes with a full refactor of the item system in the game, changing the rather arbitrary NBT format items used to use, to a more modular components approach. As well as being more performant, components are a great benefit to datapackers and map makers, as they now can customise item behaviour in ways previously impossible without modding the game. One example, the "food" component, can now be added to any item, which will make it behave as a food, allowing it to be eaten by the player.

While it does break a lot of old maps / datapacks, this opens the potential to do a lot more with the vanilla game.

Really great seeing the game slowly become more data-driven, and less hard-coded, with each passing update.

Have you tried disabling the compositor (Shift + Alt + F12)? I've found that sometimes fixes graphical issues. No guarantees, but if you haven't already, it's worth a shot.

X11 is still supported. It’s just no longer the default.

Thats weird, because pretty much any game I have wanted to play on Steam (with the exception of a couple VR titles) have run flawlessly on my Linux machine. Proton works for the majority of games, I have found.

I know games with anti cheat often don’t run, but those are the exception not the rule.

For second question, its an object URL.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/createO...

It's a way to turn a file, or blob, into a URL usable with an image element etc.

It was actually the turing complete post that reminded me of this project, hence why I posted it here.

Honestly surprised it hadn’t really been posted on HN before (afaict from search).

You seem like an absolute joy to be around.

Yes, largely. There was a time where you had to force refresh the filter lists every day or so, but I haven’t had to for a while now.

Ublock Origin will be your best bet against Youtube ads, apart from just paying of course.
