I ask them. And I feel the same way myself

I agree, I think Adobe/MS have even said in the past that they would prefer people steal their software if the alternative means they would use a competitor instead.

except most pirates would never have bought the product in the first place... so is it really a loss for the company?

Double standards in c/[email protected]

My understanding is that he was not "charged with terrorism", but NY has a provision where they can use terrorist-like criteria as one of the ways a person can be charged with first-degree murder instead of something lesser.

Microsoft open-sourced a Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown in c/opensource

If like me you were wondering if MS actually provided their own parsers for their Office file formats... they did not.

It seems to just be a bunch of random pyxyz 3rd-party support libraries all mashed together.

django-middle-management: A small Django utility for safely executing remote management commands in c/django

It's usually a bad idea to connect to production servers to run one-off or maintenance commands

KDE Frameworks 6.9.0 released in c/qtframework

if only they were easier to use in non-KDE projects and didn't have complex interdependencies on each other

Raspberry Pi Monitor Review: Well-built portable monitor that works with any HDMI-capable device in c/raspberry_pi

Probably because there are many laptops where such cables do not work. I went through 4 different brands before I found one that worked on my macbook.

I think what ends up happening though is the number of people that actually end up seeing your content is so small it's kinda pointless.

Seems like it becomes a situation of "which wind would you like to piss into."

Sample size of 1 is not indicative of anything.

I think it greatly depends on where you live.

Post your location and I'm sure people will be quick to point out how overtly racist your area is, which is probably why people are too afraid to speak out.

Yes they have comparable CPUs from Zhaoxin, which is joint owned by VIA and Chinese government.

Russia also has Baikal.

They're European, they don't understand concepts like free speech, asset forfeiture or flexible job titles.

ICPP – Running C++ in anywhere like a script (github.com)

submitted 4 months ago by refalo to c/programming

3 comments fedilink

Interpreting C++, executing the source and executable like a script.

Writing powerful script using C++ just as easy as Python;
Writing hot-loading C++ script code in running process;
Based on Unicorn Engine qemu virtual cpu and Clang/LLVM C++ compiler;
Integrated internally with Standard C++23 and Boost libraries;
To reuse the existing C/C++ library as an icpp module extension is extremely simple.

There is also a Qt helper module: https://github.com/vpand/icpp-qt

403 on API endpoints (lemmy.readme.io)

submitted 6 months ago by refalo to c/meta

6 comments fedilink

Tried to use several different API endpoints as described in the link, but they all return 403 with a cloudflare "Just a moment..." html reply. Even tried copying an existing jwt token from a working logged-in browser but the same thing still happens.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

curl -v --request POST \
     --url https://programming.dev/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '{"username_or_email": "redacted", "password": "redacted"}'
...
< HTTP/2 403

Some comments not appearing? (self.meta)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by refalo to c/meta

7 comments fedilink

I am noticing that some comments, which are coming from users on other verified (via /instances) federated instances, do not show up on a post. For example: https://programming.dev/post/13648105

Does not show this comment on it: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10803786

Any ideas why? I checked the modlog and the comment wasn't removed, and their post history to me does not look like someone that is likely to be banned from the instance, so I'm not sure what else it could be.

Is there a way to view the frontpage of another server, or get an RSS feed of another server's single community? (self.lemmy_support)

submitted 8 months ago by refalo to c/[email protected]

My lemmy account is on the programming.dev instance but I use newsboat for RSS reading of some lemmy.ml communities, along with browsing the local homepage of lemmy.ml and some other instances in a regular browser. Is there a way to do either of these things from the programming.dev instance so that I can easily comment on posts without having to manually locate the same post by browsing to /c/[email protected] on my own instance?
