Here's one study Pennsylvania University https://web.sas.upenn.edu/pcssm/commentary/public-disapproval-of-disruptive-climate-change-protests/

Do with it what you will.

Huh. I can't find a single book on here of the last 100 i have read. Is this all just self-help books or something?

Spices too in c/memes@lemmy.ml

All yums.

Roguelike vs Roguelite - what's the difference? in c/games@lemmy.world

New characters are resources too. The word doesn't have to be limited to spendable currencies like "lumber and gems".

I wrote a guide on how to teach Root! (or at least how I teach it) in c/boardgames@feddit.de

This is really cool! My teach is usually a very similar order to what you list, but its nice to have something like this written down. I will probably steal this.

For the Woodland Alliance, I usually deacribe them as "playing Pandemic, as the disease". You are spreading around everywhere, and can pop up suddenly to devastate someone's clearing if they aren't keeping you in check.

Looking for something new to read after The Expanse in c/books@lemmy.ml

For sci-fi, one I haven't seen mentioned here yet is Red Rising.

Kind of an Enders Game meets Hunger Games in the first book, but quickly expands into a solar-system wide war with lots of intrigue, star-wars-like tech, and amazing characters.

Watch a 13-year-old become the first person to ever beat Classic Tetris in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] calculuschild@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Tetris doesn't really have an end. It just keeps going. So this is a very specific crash where if you get far enough into the game, it can't keep up with the player any more. You "beat" Tetris by playing so well you make the game break.

This is similar to getting pacman to crash by beating level 255 at which point incrementing the level goes past what can be stored and the data gets corrupted.

Mmmmm.... SoakCenter.

Could we add alternativeto.net to the sidebar? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I am really dumb. The link you shared doesn't show any table like you describe, and no links to the other "parts" out of 13. Can you help me figure this out? The part I can see is pretty helpful!

Early PS5 Black Friday Deals Have Officially Started - IGN in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] calculuschild@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

These sales are for the original Ps5 model, right? Not the "slim"?

Is there any major reason to choose one over the other besides the size?

Any FOSS todo lists with time-blocking calendar feature? (lemm.ee)
 

I like todo lists, and I like time blocking so I can schedule out specific hours to work on each task. However I have yet to find an app that combines these cleanly.

Features I am looking for:

  • Todo list that allows nested lists, and adding details to each item (due date, more detailed instructions, etc.)
  • Seamless integration with a calendar, so I can assign a given todo item to a date and time
  • Adjustable time durations. Not every task is exactly 1 hour.
  • Accessible and syncable across PC and Android,
  • Freeee....?

Nice to have:

  • Sync with Google Calendar/Tasks
  • Color-coding tasks
Bounty system for FOSS Github projects? in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] calculuschild@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I'm using GitHub. I don't know what to tell you.

Bounty system for FOSS Github projects? in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] calculuschild@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I guess I would be ok sending the money on my own. But these other services have the nice feature of allowing other users to contribute to the bounty into a single pot. I.e., I can put a bounty of $20, then user b also really wants the feature and will add $5. When the PR is approved, the developer is guaranteed $25 and doesn't have to contact user b to send their $5 or give out their financial info to X number of people.

App to combine similar photos by choosing best parts from each (lemm.ee)
 

Windows Live Gallery had a great Photo Fuse feature that allowed you to select multiple similar photos and be able to select which faces from each photo would be used in the final composite image. This was great for group photos where in every photo someone isn't looking at the camera or blinking etc, as you can combine them all and select all the faces that are looking in the right direction. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-Zy4mLkEL4

Unfortunately, Windows Live Gallery is now unsupported and unavailable for download. Is there any FOSS software that has similar functionality (offline/online)? Preferably on Android so I can directly clean up my picture collection as I take the photos.

Bounty system for FOSS Github projects? (lemm.ee)
 

Hoping this is on-topic. If not I can delete.

I own a couple of FOSS projects on Github, and have been toying with the idea of adding some kind of bounty to a few issues, since I do get a (small) amount of income via Patreon from which I'm happy to use to encourage contributions.

I'd rather keep things visible inside Github itself rather than hosting issues on yet another third-party site I would need to administer. I know there have been services like this in the past, but they seem to eventually stop paying out bounties and just disappear.

I've seen "boss.dev" showing up in my Google results and it looks to do what I want, but I'm skeptical since there seems to be no reviews or community around that tool.

Good STL/3D model archival software? (lemm.ee)
 

I've collected quite a number of STL files for 3D printing, and realized I need some better way to catalogue them, because the default Windows explorer is starting to become burdensome. I'm looking for something that:

  • Shows a 3D preview I can rotate around to see the model
  • Allows me to sort into folders
  • Allows tagging with keywords for later searching
  • Snappy search

Maybe Windows already does this and I'm just not seeing it, but I feel like my collection is at the point where I need something dedicated, similar to a photo cataloguing tool (e.g. Google Photos) or a reference manager (e.g. Zotero/Mendeley).

Any good FOSS tool that does something like this? Or a generic "better file explorer"?
