I’m just curious about which is the most efficient way of doing this kind of node enumiration:

for i in something():
    o=[var1,var2,var3,varN][i]
    o.new()
    o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
    add_child(o)

or

for i in something():
    match i:
        0:
            o=var1
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)
        1:
            o=var2
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)
        2:
            o=var3
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)
        N-1:
            o=varN
            o.new()
            o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
            add_child(o)

or

var items = [var1,var2,var3,varN]
for i in something():
    o=items[i]
    o.new()
    o.do_something_based_on_number_of_loops()
    add_child(o)

Or is there a more efficient way of doing it?

Edit: Sorry if that wasn't clear. Is it better to constantly get something from an "unstored list", store the list in a variable, or not use a list and use a match statement instead? Do they have any advantages/disadvantages that make them better in certain situations?

Baldur’s Gate 3 worked fine before. Now it returns to the game’s library page just before it would normally show the game’s logos.

We tried switching to proton experimental, as suggested by people who were having a similar issue back in August, but this gives the same result.

Has anyone been experiencing anything similar, or does anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I tried setting “gamemoderun --skip-launcher” or “--skip-launcher” as a launch option, but this didn’t work.

Ah. It's still called cake day over here.
Wasn’t sure if it had to be called something different on Lemmy.

I want to install Debian over an existing Debian install with an existing home partition in an encrypted lvm (to upgrade to testing), and I have been practising in a vm.

After trying to follow the advice on https://www.blakehartshorn.com/installing-debian-on-existing-encrypted-lvm/, I successfully reached the end of the installation, but when I try to boot into my system, I get the error(s) shown in the attached screenshot.

Any idea what I did wrong/need to do?

Edit: "sgx: There are zero EPC sections" is something that displayes when booting successfully into a machine that works too.

I noticed the updater was incredibly slow today. security.ubuntu.com seems to be down. Is that the reason the updater isn't working so well right now? Why is that the case? It makes it somewhat difficult to apply other updates. Even changing mirrors is incredibly slow and hardly works.

Also, how long does this usually go of for if so?

Update: Seems to be working fine now. Anyone know what happened?

In PowerPoint, you can just select everything, then right-click -> save as image, and it saves whatever you have selected rather than the whole slide. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that in Impress, but I realised you could copy-paste into Gimp and that would copy the objects as an image, so I've been making memes that way.

I'd known I had Asperger's practically all my life, but it wasn't until much later that I'd heard it be called "a disability" and I took a lot of offence to it. It looks like this was actually the first meme I ever made.

Just curious. Couldn’t find out on Google.

Since Lemmy instances are self hosted, I imagine that it would be much less than most social media sites.
What about types of files? Could you upload an animated image sequence or video if the file was small enough?
Does this vary between instances?
Could you even upload stuff such as .zip if admins wanted to specifically allow it?
