Hexagons [e/em/eir]

Oh interesting! That comes directly from the ancient Greek. The Greek letter upsilon (which actually looks like this: “υ”) is usually transliterated in the Latin alphabet as “y”.

I did too, and worse, I couldn’t remember why I knew it until I got to the end and then I just made the grumpy Bernie face, you know, this one:

Figured out my godot text editor problem! I’m now using neovim in a drop-down quake-like terminal so it takes up the same screen space as the built-in text editor and can be easily hidden when needed. Neovim happily talks to godot’s lsp server (as long as godot is running), giving me code completion and all that good stuff.

I’m quite happy with this setup, it’s very nice!

Thanks @hello_hello@hexbear.net for finding the thread that helped me find this new setup!

I hadn’t seen that thread, but there are some avenues to explore there. Like maybe trying neovim, which has matured and stabilized since last I looked at it. It doesn’t quite solve my screen space issue, but maybe the answer there is to mess with the layout of godot itself so I can fit a text editor on the same screen as the godot window at the same time.

Thanks!

I’m trying to learn godot (because game dev seems pretty neat and it’s a kind of coding with lots of near-instant visual feedback, which I find appealing). It’s going well, pretty fun, I’m getting decent at reading the godot docs, everything is cool.

Except. I’ve been using vim (and then later spacemacs) for like 15 years and godot doesn’t have a vim mode and it’s fucking killing me! How am I supposed to edit text without vim-like key bindings?! How the hell do people work like this?!

If I’m going to seriously make games, even as a hobby, I need a solution and so far I haven’t found one. I think I may have to write a gdscript layer for spacemacs, but that’s not a great solution, for a couple of reasons.

First, I have very little experience with emacs lisp. I’d have to learn more about the inner workings of emacs than I ever wanted to. And like, that’s cool and good, emacs lisp is neat and learning how to customize emacs is worthwhile, but I think it’ll be really hard and the final product will be far from perfect.

Second, using an external text editor is going to break the workflow I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with, and also it would take up valuable screen space in a way that godot’s built in text editor doesn’t.

I don’t know what to do. I was hoping I could maybe just live without vim key bindings. That worked for my first project (a flappy bird clone) because there wasn’t really that much code that needed writing (and editing afterwards). But as I’m now working on a real project that has me writing much more complicated and longer code that I’ve already had to refactor once, it’s become clear to me that just straight up isn’t going to work. It’s rage inducing to try to code in a modeless text editor.

Anyway, if anyone happens to have any ideas about solutions I’ve missed, please do let me know!

Does “customize” not work? As in:

EndeavorOS KDE customization

This is the first time that I’ve tried to start customizing my system

There is a consensus in this community. Posts that use the racist term get removed when they’re noticed by mods. You can check the mod log.

Hey, just so you know, “rice” is a racist term. You should remove it from your title and post body before a mod removes your post

Do you really believe this? Red hat is paying people to shill for them on lemmy? I don’t suppose I could trouble you for some evidence of that, could I?

Paid moderators? Why do you think they get paid? Who do you think is paying them?

I’m saying that if sufficient infrastructure exists then it’s fine to just ban SUVs entirely because they’re not necessary.

I think I’m a big dumdum because I didn’t realize until literally this comment that this is the other, better, non-carbrained solution. I was over here like “so what, you just want people with SUV’s to decide of their own accord not to drive them into downtown because suddenly they realize they’re bad people for doing so? Never gonna happen.”

But now that I see your much better idea, simply ban all SUVs from Paris, I’m entirely on board! I do think that’s going to be a harder law to pass than hiking parking fees, but it would definitely be a much better one!

OP, why did you post this? What do you hope people reading will get out of it?

Why didn’t you link the original source: https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/09/27/18859198.php

Did you notice that the text sounds like it was written by a bad ai?

If I were a little more cynical, I’d say you’re posting this because you want people to read the headline, think to themselves “China bad”, then move on with their day, doing no more investigation into the matter.

If the above paragraph was not your intention, please explain to me what exactly you were hoping to achieve here.

I’m not surprised they walked it back. They’ve pulled the classic “new coke” trick here: put out something deeply terrible no one will ever agree to, then walk it back pretty significantly to something still shitty and exploitative, but not as bad as what you had threatened. Your customers feel like this is a win, but they’re still stuck with a worse deal than before the beginning of the debacle.

zifnab’s comment has links to:

• The Washington Post
• A paper from Duke University
• The Guardian

These seem to me like sources that wouldn’t usually be prominent in facebook conspiracy theory groups.

Can you please tell me what the issue is with zifnab’s comment? Why do you feel like the comment would be more at home in a facebook conspiracy theory group?

I try to stay civil outside hexbear, but this post is testing my resolve on that. Are you really so treat-brained that you’re ok with forcing children to mine cobalt so you can have a smartphone?

You should take some time and think about whether that’s really the kind of person you want to be
