    I have been looking for a sudoku app which allows me to use different symbols rather than numbers because sometimes the numbers themselves confuse me, so using random symbols helps to keep them arbitrary. After years of waiting I submitted a feature request for Open Sudoku and a couple of weeks later it was implemented. Years of waiting, a few weeks waiting after asking, just amazing. Open Source software is definitely the future, and the communities around Open Source project, while a little variable, are absolutely outstanding.

      Open source is the modern marvel that nobody talks about. Like the industrial revolution or the building of the pyramids. I know it’s preaching to the choir on lemmy. Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.

      Sometimes I wonder how much the average person can comprehend the scale of what has been accomplished over the past few decades. I’m sure they attribute it to the power of the corporations’ drive for profit. None of that would have happened without the combined effort of people around the world building out one software library or application at a time. There’s a behemoth underneath the shiny corporate tech products that is the real achievement.

      Some say, born to late to yadda born to soon to whatever. Guy, we have lived in very interesting times. You just haven’t been looking. We’ve lived through the middle of something incredible. I’m sure Jim Ramses was super annoyed at another brick to haul back in 10000BC so the pharaoh can have his stupid tomb or whatever. He wasn’t thinking, they’re going to be nuts over this stuff in a few millennia.

      That being said, I think open source is facing existential trials in the near future.

        Open source made the 21st century digital revolution.

        It’s hard to even convey how very true this is.

        Basically all of network infrastructure depends on open libraries. All of the most widely used cryptography standards are open source. There was a period when basically every server on the internet was an Ubuntu/Apache stack. The Internet Protocol itself is open, and would not function otherwise.

        Open source is the Internet. The Internet is open source.

      How do you use the symbols?

      source
      • rowinxavier@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        In the settings you can change which symbol set is in use. For example you can use Japanese kanji numbers replacing the Roman numerals. The numerals at the bottom of the screen on the keypad also change to match, so you just press the corresponding button. You can also use a few others and it is a really nice if niche feature.

    • psycotica0@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Huh, this is something I have never thought of, and I’m not really sure what it’s for… but it sounds like the idea is that you say upfront “play me the next 3 episodes of this show”, and then it plays 3 automatically, and after the third takes you back to the menu? Fascinating.

    When you have submitted multiple PRs and they get ignored even though you follow their ridiculously complicated CI and testing guidelines, so you just fork the repo and do whatever you want. (And then hope things don’t break a year from now because you aren’t pulling any new features and fixes.)

      • victorz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I would recommend the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless. I’m using that as my main, for Rocket League and other games. Works great. Cheaper and better than Xbox controllers, PS controllers, even Nintendo’s ones. I think I paid around $40–50 for it. Much, much better quality than my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which was almost $200 and now barely works.

    I completely get this. You check it so often that you start to recognize the usual reviewers and the little back-and-forth, and then one day that small feature you have been hoping for finally lands. It is funny how satisfying something so specific can feel after waiting that long.

      It’s awesome and Lemmy is wrong to hate and denounce the genuinely good outputs of frontier models. There is enough wrong with LLMs and the companies behind them that is fair to criticise. Lemmy puts human made code on a pedestal, but look at the certificate and php stuff this week, all human errors…

    Sounds nice, but most software devs I know implement subscription features and such while also forcing AI into it making the product shit and expensive.

    The thing I really want is Directory Opus to make a Linux version but they told me “no there’s not a big enough market for that”. So far that program is the main reason why I’m still using shitty Windows and not Linux instead.

    source
    • notabot@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Directory Opus looks like a file manager, so you might want to look at the options available on Linux. If you’re not fixed on one desktop environment, it’s worth checking several as they all have slightly different ideas. I can see Directory Opus has various other minor features, you’ll find many if them already included in existing file managers, but if something’s missing, you could request it, then you’re in the position the meme talks about.
