When I saw “dhh” on the post about this turbo decision that said it all really. Dhh is a tool.

Care to clue me in? I spend my time far, far away from the web dev sphere :p

He became a patron saint because he developed Rails, and he huffed too many of his own farts. His track record can be boiled down to thinking he knows what’s best and the evidence is damning

All of these are good and sometimes necessary except the bottom-right.

The image embed doesn’t work. Lemmy supports embedding media only if HTTPS is used. This website is HTTP.

xusontha OP ,

I already fixed it, but I didn’t know that! That’s really cool!

it’s not just lemmy; HTTPS websites aren’t allowed to serve HTTP content

Sorry, my bad. And thanks for the info.

No worries, I find the intricacies of protocols like this super interesting 😊

You can also embed images inside links, by the way (click the button):
https://getfirefox.com

[![Get Firefox](https://i.imgur.com/KpmYhB1.gif)](https://getfirefox.com)

Also if say you have image/animation/audio/video link without extension (e.g.: .jpg), you can fool Lemmy using a fragment identifier at the end of URL #.jpg which would usually be used to jump to the fragment id in document. e.g.: https://example.org/image#.jpg

xusontha OP ,

Wowzers that’s fancy, I’ll have to save that for the future

Now I’m wondering if someone in bad faith could link an tracking image and just rip ip addressees in the background

I guess it depends on if lemmy clients query the link to fetch fetch images or just grab a cached copy of the image from the lemmy instance

user224 ,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Images in comments don’t get cached, so absolutely yes. But I mean, public IP + User Agent is like minimum of information anyway. Any website you visit gets it.

I don’t get the joke. Wouldn’t you need to study the architecture of the alien CPU to see what registers it uses if any and where data goes, and what format the data is expressed in (is it even binary?) so you can write an assembly language for it? Then you would need to write a compiler and then you could get a higher level language going and port Doom. Are we assuming that the alien computer just runs our code?

Glytch ,

The joke is that Doom, specifically, will run on anything.

nyan ,

In fact, for many years now, people have been trying to make Doom run on the most ridiculous things possible (printers, refrigerators, pregnancy tests . . .) just for the heck of it. There are worse hobbies.

Glytch ,

That is one of my favorite niche subcultures online. Just a group of people dedicated to a singular purpose that isn’t doing any harm to anyone. I always get excited when I see a new article that ___new device can run Doom

What if I use a 48 inch OLED TV as a monitor?

Single monitor setup coming through. 🫠

Lawful neutral. I use a laptop instead of a desktop so I have no choice. I would get a second monitor but it would things very cramped.

SuperSpruce , in Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

Lawful neutral for me.

Macropolis , in Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

Chaotic evil baby. I need somewhere to read long documents, manga, man pages and configs.

mindbleach ,

Vertical is so nice for text and so bad for video.

And for games… apparently Zandronum renders 4:3 regardless of resolution. So one time I played Knee Deep In The Dead looking like Marathon.

funkless_eck , in Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

I’m on the third Z axis of this chart

two screens same size to the front, laptop on a riser to my left, at a right angle, third, smaller screen to the left of that connected to a second laptop

mindbleach ,

Your mouse driver needs A* pathfinding.

CaptFeather , in Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

Lol my set up is a 22" 1080p on the left for basic web viewing, 28" 1440p center for games, and a 32" 1080p on the right for videos/twitch while I’m playing games

Not a programmer, but I can definitely attest that TV Medicine is wildly inaccurate. From CPR (method, success rate, reason for initiating) to the usefulness of various imaging modalities; it's like watching a gardener plant a whole watermelon and growing a sky-high beanstalk the following morning.

A really fun intersection of both of these was the episode of Bones I saw once when visiting my dad, where some corpse had a microscopic code etched in its femur that then hijacked/hacked the CT machine computer when scanned.

What about using Android Tab or Phones as second monitor?

BRabbit ,

I understand a tablet, but using a phone for the second monitor?

pufferfischerpulver ,

I guess it would work for notes f.ex. Or something like colour palettes

coloredgrayscale ,

Enough for System stats, or a music player (especially if you can use it for input too, without it tabbing out of games)

zabadoh , in Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

I’m neutral impoverished.

SkinnyTimmy , in Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart

At home: Chaotic good but with three monitors that are all different sizes

At work: Two monitors side by side, and then one above them

Not a programmer though, I make videos

for future reference, it’s even more convenient to use when you know to change GUI scale settings to configure them to align with the physical space
