Huh, half a year after Luanti introduced volumetric lighting. I find it hard to believe that Microsoft execs watch out for what Luanti does, but maybe a whole bunch of Android re-packagings of Luanti suddenly looked a whole lot better than Minecraft and that got through to those execs...? It's a bit of a strange coincidence, at least.

Yeah, always felt like that this kind of myth is rather indicative of the intelligence of whoever actually believes it. Alas, most people probably don't think about whether it actually makes sense...

You'd typically want Kate rather than KWrite, if you're gonna do development. Basically the same editor, but with more power-user features.

Well, vegan foods with lots of proteins include: Beans, lentils, peas, nuts, peanuts, tofu, soy.
Personal favorites are red lentils (cook pretty quickly and don't need to be soaked before) and pre-cooked white beans (I just have a jar of those in the fridge and will scoop a spoonful into all kinds of meals).

Proteins are cool, because they stick around in your stomach for a while, but they're bad at filling you up. For that, salads and veggies are the best. Sometimes, I'll eat an entire bowl of salad, which is not a lot of calories, but still fills me up.

I would also recommend slowly changing your diet over. Your gut microbiota need time to adjust to a different diet. If you don't give them that time, they can kill your will pretty effectively.

Well, it was more of a rant, I wasn't exactly asking for suggestions. But you making a suggestion was perfectly fine anyways. I do just have opinions on proprietary Android apps.

I mean, thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to be open-source, so that's a hell no from me...

I have this problem with Android. Google has turned the filesystem into unusable garbage, so you're lucky, if you can launch a gallery app with a file path and it allows you to actually go through the images in that folder.

And of course, that's with a local file path, so the situation is completely hopeless when your images are on a network share. Unless the gallery app itself implements the network protocol, you're out of luck.
Wanna guess how often that happens? Yeah, it simply doesn't. Even if it's theoretically just a library, when you build it into the gallery app, that dev has to continually maintain and test it.

Same. I guess, this is the Starship thread now. My config:

I adapted it from the Gruvbox Rainbow theme.
I can post my config, if anyone wants specifically that. (It does kind of assume a light background, though.)

Well, we have a tool for that called vendoring, a.k.a. copy-pasting the library code into your repo. It's no worse than copy-pasting LLM-generated code...

Sure, but those words have been coined by the nerds, or those that don't try to sell you anything at least. The guy very much wants to sell you vibe coding and LLMs and whatnot.

Interesting that the term was coined by someone who presumably intended it to mean a good thing. I assumed it to be an entirely derogatory term...

I mean, surely you did it for the exercise, right? If you needed a solution, you could've very likely used a library...

I think, it's a combination of things.

To some degree, it may make the player choice seem broader, as you can go full hero or full villain. In some sense, you can also go into the middle by kicking a puppy at one point and then helping an elderly lady at another.

But then, it's also just hard to portray nuance. If the options are "pet kitty" and "punch kitty", you know what's what. But if it says "pet kitty" and "ignore kitty", it becomes a lot less clear. Maybe the kitty does not want to get pet by a random stranger. You probably won't be able to gauge its reaction from the character model to know what's the right choice.
But you also won't know what "pet kitty" really means. Will your character be gentle and back off, if the kitty does not appreciate the gesture? Or will they stroke that kitty until it bites them?

Yeah, they probably will leave your skin feeling uncomfortable. Many seem to consider shaving cream and whatnot a strict requirement. That's also part of the reason why I still use a trimmer for my face, too.

Run-on sentences convey rambling...

I found a razor just got clogged up too much between the blades.

You might have better luck with one of those bog-standard single-blade safety razors, i.e. one of these:

I've heard from a hairdresser that they prefer the single-blade ones, specifically because the multi-blade ones clog up so much.

I mean, currently I also use a trimmer for my face, as I cannot be asked to do a wet shave every day. But I still use the safety razor for cutting back armpits and groin for hygiene reasons, and it works quite well for that. It's a lot less scary when you don't have to cut thick beard hair.

This is largely a layperson's opinion, but I don't think there would be much of a difference. The thing is that perfect vision rarely happens, not just because of bad eyes, but because sunlight might be hitting your screen or you're reading at a weird angle or contrast is bad etc..
And even if the pixels were beamed straight to your retina, your brain is still a pattern matching machine. If it's easier to discern individual letters, it becomes quicker to select each word correctly.

Having said that, if there were a font that's objectively the most readable, we probably wouldn't have a gazillion different fonts. Some folks here have said that they find this font distracting, for example. So, yeah, you kind of have to decide on your own, what works best for you.

Yeah, it's the SIL Open Font License. The text can be found behind their "End-User License Agreement" link.

Ah, right, mixed it up with BusyBox.
