I’ve very barely dipped my toes in dbus before, and the option to have something else is on its face attractive (not a fan of XML and the late 90s/early aughties style of oop), but JSON for a system interface?

I mean, Kubernetes shows that yaml can work, but in this day and age I’d expect several options for serialisation, and for the default to be binary, not strings.

String serialisations are primarily for humans IMO, either as readers or writers. As writers we want something with comments (and preferably no “find the missing }” game), so for that most of us would prefer something like TOML if the data is simple enough, and actually Yaml for complexity at the level of Kubernetes—JSON manages to be even more of a PITA at that level.

But machine-to-machine? Protobuf, cap’n’proto, postcard, even CBOR should all be alternatives to examine

There’s wasm if you need to target browsers.

I think for the second LL it’s expected mostly more concrete details on stuff already mentioned

But yeah, would like some estimate on when BST is coming, and a fanfest announcement.

Similar in Norwegian: Ugress. Un-grass.

I’ve heard one definition of it that I like: The grass that your (grazing) animals won’t eat.

We’ve also recently introduced Coding Challenges to our site! These new challenges represent a new, fun way for developers to level up by tackling captivating puzzles and earning recognition for your skills and creativity. It’s a rewarding way to practice and expand your knowledge with the Stack Overflow community in a space that celebrates diverse and unique approaches.

Is the GSM2 network still functioning? I think here it was shut down so the frequencies could be reused for 5G

That’s how it starts. Just let it develop for a century or something and you’ll probably be decent at it

When you see that sign you must. When you see this sign you can:

Often it is preferable anyway, but there’s a difference between informational signs (blue rectangle) and mandating signs (blue circle). Here in Norway we generally don’t have mandatory bike & ped paths, just the voluntary ones.

These combinations are generally not a good fit for urban areas, there we should have bikeways with sidewalks:

(Generally new infrastructure in urban areas is being constructed as bikeways with sidewalks, and old shared bike/ped-ways are being upgraded to bikeways with sidewalks.)

Also plenty of countries aren’t all that hung up on marriage. It is possible to have kids and government recognition without a marriage certificate.

Yeh. Ubuntu also discussed it back in 2019, and wound up keeping some of it so Steam would keep working.

I expect the willingness to bend over backwards for one proprietary and very profitable app doesn’t last forever, and given how involved gaming often is with pushing technology, it’s frankly weird that Steam is still shackled to 32bit like that.

Yeah, I think the fact that the next LTS will be 26.04 is the driver here, I just get the impression that things might get a little rocky and that they might’ve been better off had the next LTS been further into the future.

But it’ll be a real smoke test release, at least. Hopefully they have enough resources to fix the issues that are uncovered, and don’t wind up reverting for the LTS, or with a crummy LTS.

It’s really weird to have them so close in time, though, especially when they finished the previous one early.

If I were to guess, they need to fix the fix, or the previous hotfix actually went really poorly and they spent way longer on some task they needed to complete before this step, and decided to break it into several downtimes.

I’m generally an en_*.UTF-8 user (even tried en_DK.UTF-8 for a bit for a reason we’ll come back to), so I don’t have a complete picture of it and would have to go look at the documentation or source for that, but I’d expect

• documentation
• date formats: en_DK.UTF-8 should give you ISO8601-formatted dates, if I can’t have that I at least want DD/MM/YYYY; the US-american nonsense is just plain unacceptable
• sorting: e.g. Norwegian will have …zæøå and expect aa to be sorted as å, the Swedes have …zåöä, the Germans …zäöü, the Turks will want ı and İ sorted and upper/lowercased correctly, and there are some options around how you deal with “foreign” letters and diacritics.
• Probably more stuff relating to LC_* that I can’t think of off the top of my head

but in any case, an ls -l output should be different depending on your locale, and in ways you likely don’t even think about as long as it looks normal.

Yeah, I think those are just lacking in the internationalisation?

People like me, who at most have some reading glasses needs and have their computer set to generally English utf-8 will be likely be fine.

Between that and the uutils-coreutils, Ubuntu 25.10 sounds like it’ll be an interesting experience for users, especially those with accessibility and internationalisation needs.

Yep, that’s the idea. I haven’t had it set up for a long while, so I don’t really know how well it works and if I should just have the OGCD stuff showing.

I used to have a pretty similar thing off to the side, but it was kind of … annoying for how I had to use my eyes, and cluttered up the screen more.

If you use the double-tap style, set it to show the full keyset. You’ll need that by level 100.

Hmm, I use the double tab but only half of it, to allow for more space.

It’s just if you use it for your main combat abilities. If you use it for extras you’ll be fine and could even likely not having it showing all the time at all. I’ve been keeping mine on full display all the time and after this discussion I think I’ll turn it default-invisible.

Do you have a possible layout like this to share?

I kinda messed up my config and had to recreate it from memory and haven’t really had a chance to test it with all jobs yet, but I can show off the general idea. Don’t think too much about the utility buttons, e.g. the hunting log is just there because I’ve been leveling a job from level 1 (archer!), that’ll be replaced with the compass when that’s relevant, etc. The utility buttons are actually on set 8, I’m just too lazy to switch to it.

This is the same as what I’ve copied to the lower two button bars, in a left-top-bottom-right order.

It looks a bit better without the wxhb on:

There are some things I figure I should change, e.g. make surecast and arm’s length be in the same position.

But the similarities generally work: all the healers and the two casters with raise I can do L2>R2 down up to do a swiftcast+raise, the motion is always the same.

Sometimes I find stuff that could be more systematic, like moving surecast Arm’s length, and mess up my muscle memory for a while. But I think the general rule should be to make some rules that make intuitive sense to you, and try to follow those. You’ll get it wrong from time to time, either not following a rule, or discovering that the rule was a bad idea.

Having had a look at the archived version linked below, it seems pretty clear that it’s entirely hogwash:

• The referenced init system replacement is called “rye-init”
• The wiki does not have anything on “rye-init” or even just rye
• The only hit on a package search for rye is rye, the precursor to uv
• I find no general search hits for rye-init, except references to the rye mentioned above (as in rye init), and some hits for this article and forum posts with people confused about it.

yeah, matte in Norwegian. Same as the word for a mat (ei matte).

The Commission chose this route to avoid its proposals being vetoed by Slovakia and Hungary, whose governments have opposed the ban. Sanctions would be the strongest legal basis for banning Russian gas, but require unanimous approval from all EU countries.

It’s good that they found a way around those fifth columns!
