Well the script tag has a deprecated attribute called language, so in older code and media you will see <script language="javascript"> a bunch. The weird thing is they instead used the lang attribute which just doesn’t exist.

Oh I see. You mean like v3.0.1 will be stable, and v3.1.0 will be stable. Yeah that’s true. But v3 (as in v3.0.0) is breaking. At least that’s how I have always seen the terms used.

No, v3 is a release with breaking changes:

This release includes several breaking changes; read the full migration guide here. It’s worth mentioning that many of the breaking changes are updates to API endpoints and only affect third-party tools that integrate with Immich’s API. For the vast majority of users, updating works exactly as it always has.

https://immich.app/blog/v3.0.0-release

That’s why the major version was increased, it implies breaking changes in semantic versioning, which Immich is doing since v2 apparently:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
3. PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes

I think you replied this in the wrong thread, but I generally agree with this person. Use GitBash as the terminal and only use VS Code as an editor (or even skip VS Code entirely). Not because it’s MS, but just because it adds complexity you don’t need while learning.

By the way, if you just want to learn git you can try this website, it’s a fully self-contained learning experience with a terminal emulator inside the browser: https://learngitbranching.js.org/

Drives, not drivers. HDDs and SSDs.

Theoretically yes, but I would recommend the terminal git brings with it. You should be able to just open any location on your drives, right-click, and select “GitBash here”. This will start a terminal with the directory you were in as the working directory.

Ideally, the readme.md has already been created by the time l reach here or no ?

Depends, if you followed the tutorial precisely it should already have been created in the step “Create the repository 3.”. You can use the ls command in the WSL terminal to see if it exists.

If not, where do I create the readme ?

In the base directory of the git repository you cloned from Github. You can do so with the command echo "blaaaa" > README.md (this will overwrite the file if it exists already).

In the WSL terminal or the vs code terminal ?

See I think this is your misunderstanding right here. The tutorial tells you to enter code ., where code means “start VS Code” and . means “in the current directory”. You are supposed to then use the file explorer inside VS Code to select the README.md and modify it.

This may not work as intended in WSL. If you enter which code and there is no output it won’t work. Is there any reason why you are using WSL instead of just installing git for Windows? It comes with a terminal emulator, so there should be no problem following the tutorial and you can eliminate WSL as a possible friction point.

Some later part of the Risen RPG series IIRC.

Well if you want the real basics of self-hosting then depending on your level of knowledge you may want to follow a Linux tutorial like this one: https://labex.io/linuxjourney

This will teach a lot of basic knowledge and terminology you may need when setting up or maintaining containers and VMs. Admittedly, this is somewhat tangential knowledge to your immediate goals, but if you want to actually use your self-hosted stuff remotely later this will become critical to doing so safely.

As for the map, for me it was something like:

Local LXC/QEMU → Remote LXD over SSH on a RPi → Proxmox on a dedicated box through the webinterface

In hindsight I would have started with Proxmox directly though I guess. One big downside is it doesn’t integrate well with Docker containers, you have to set up a full VM as your Docker host. On the upside though you can install LXC containers from https://www.turnkeylinux.org/ in a few clicks, so it’s very good for just testing stuff out and playing around.

IDK man, console access and cheats are still pretty common for PC games. Although there are exceptions too, at least one game series I know, first few titles had console access and cheats, then they removed it after they stupidly left DLC content accessible through console commands in the base game… Which is pretty much an example of what OP claimed. So maybe it’s not always the reason, but it sure is sometimes.

Well I don’t know. Their response overall is quite incoherent in places, but they mentioned somebody, presumably German, interfering twice now:

we didn’t port the feedback from our German QA to other languages

https://x.com/GOGcom/status/2062981104362242551

This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.

https://old.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txmcyd/ts_gotta_be_racist_gog_explain/opxtour/

And yeah I can absolutely see a German translator/QA person just going, “No, I’m not sending out a fucking SS rune. That’s a fucking crime.” Because apparently it was only censored in the German language version of the newsletter, Germans with language set to English still received it with the runes. So that part, the “hey the German censor was the only one who caught this”, that I can believe. And some PR person rephrasing this embarrassing state of affairs as “German QA” and “respect for local sensitivities” that I can believe too.

Beyond that, there is pretty deep lore on this already. The developer used an Indian sun wheel before being made aware of possible “connotations”, and then apparently misinterpreted the term connotations, see here (same reddit thread as above, but different comment). Then the GoG rep saying in the reddit thread above the S-like runes were supposed to be Sowilō runes, which are indeed sun symbols, although not Slavic ones, which may comes in pairs, but not in the same orientation, and seem to render different depending on fonts. But the email seems to have used Greek Kappa, which may or may not render differently, looks like it doesn’t. It’s confusing, but plausible enough to have a difficult time disbelieving it outright.

But on the whole, those three/four symbols just don’t come together by accident. Some person put those there on purpose and is trying to play it off as a mistake. I suspect the author of that first damage control message on reddit.

I’m not denying that there are such people around, but I don’t really think they are in the majority. Most of the specific things you mention I saw coming just as much if not more from other servers.

I mean I have seen that accusation thrown around a lot, but from what I remember it was a few cases a long time (years?) back. But yeah to be honest I haven’t really been paying attention, so if you have evidence to the contrary feel free to let me know. The goals and rules of the server as stated seem fine to me, and I haven’t seen anything that really deviated too far from that.

Anyway, like I said I may not agree with every moderation decision, but I probably wouldn’t on other instances either. Didn’t your instance just defederate the Germans for their heavy-handed moderation of anything remotely antisemitic? I mean I would get it with any other instance I guess, but your users didn’t get why the Germans would be a bit iffy with this stuff?

Well I can’t speak for others, but I’m on lemmy.ml because the instance says it’s “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers”. And in my experience that pretty much checks out, for all the talk I see from others about how it’s a den of authoritarianism and whatnot the actual amount of that I see on the actual instance is minimal. Yeah moderation sucks sometimes, but so it does on most every other instance though. Their approach to defederation seems to be avoiding it, and I don’t have to see any Nazi stuff or shit like that, so I’m good for now. Pick your poison.

The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.

Well if you look a bit closer at the history of the cold war you will find that “the West”, mostly in the form of the CIA, destroyed a lot of nascent communist or even just social democratic governments worldwide through covert means, and sometimes even militarily. In the face of such a threat you are basically forced to become even more authoritarian, if you want your communist government to survive that is. So “the West” instituted a process of selection through political (and military) pressure if you will. Hence why there are no surviving liberal communist states left to discuss.

Anyway, I don’t think there is much of consensus here on lemmy.ml whether these countries are good or bad (or even something more nuanced). What I think often happens is that someone voices “critical support”, as in they say something like “Iran has a right to self-defence” although they don’t agree with everything else Iran does, and someone from another instance comes along to read it and confirmation-biases that into “typical lemmy.ml user, fully supports that theocratic regime”.

I mean just look at the straw man you build in your OP, supposedly I’m supporting the Islamic regime in Iran, and the anti-Islamic regime in China!? Bit of a stretch there mate…

I think you mean *wields.

Although *yields would also make sense in this particular context. :D

Man fuck Axel Voss! Damn copyright shill. Guess we can take solace in the fact that he seemed to be the only one clearly taking the publishers side here.

And if I’m not mistaken, the European Commission representative argued in his reply to Voss (around 12:20) that “collective management organisations” or “cultural heritage institutions” might well be allowed to preserve games that are not commercially available anymore already under the current framework.

Well yeah kind of, except for the caveat that there are some things in those tests a website can’t really check. The tests are standardised and publicly available. There isn’t really any reason to not implement a (half-way) proper test, even if you are just harvesting data.

Above average that has to count for something right?

Well they aren’t though, 345/1000 people having a worse score than you means there are 654/1000 people who have a better score.

“IQ 100” is a moving target that gets regularly updated to the new average (which relatively speaking has been mostly climbing for decades).

Bad news buddy, that’s exactly how you become a programmer. /irony
