DBus is a system-wide messaging system. It's for stuff like notifications and system-wide events, ...or so do I think. But the aim is to allow all programs, running system-wide, to announce anything for others programs to react to.

This post requests people to use Varlink instead.

This is similar to the PulseAudio versus Pipewire and X11 versus Wayland situations.

DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

DuckStation is an emulator for some Sony PlayStation console. PS2, I think Thanks to FangedWeyvern42@lemmy.world I know that it was a PS1 emulator. This software used to be given to users under the GPLv3 license, which grants freedoms such as distribution of the source code of the software (DuckStation) for no extra cost (well, DuckStation also costs no money! ...so, you get to eat the cake and learn its recipe too, for free!).

...Now they've switched to a license which allows you to see the source code, but does not grant you rights over the source code that GPLv3 did (which is essentially ANYTHING as long as you publicize everything you make with the source code, under the GPLv3 license also - changes to the code, new software that uses any portion of the code, anything you make with it).

OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, and Android (the "Android Open-Source Project") have also done this in the past.

Knowing this stuff on Free, Libre, and Open-Source ("FLOSS") platforms like Lemmy is almost necessary given that they're built on these principles. Please get acquainted with them.

DECADE?

THANKS!!! I have it bookmarked forever now!

I lost access to it. Thank you for bringing it back to me! Yay!...

!Reddit moment.!<

I'm not American and I am a Redditor!

Debian without the CLI?

...What?

Indian here. Redditors say that Indians say this a lot. I'd like to tell you that while Indians do use this sentence, it's almost always placed only after a long, somewhat-gone-off-tangent-in-some-places conversation that explained everything well.

Maaaaaaybe it was to convince you without describing tasks, but... mostly, it's not so.

Also, I don't remember hearing it IRL at all. Just felt like I have heard it at least twice in my 18 years of humaning around.

Is this the one from [ https://os-book.com ]?!

Wait, the Indian "Wipro"?!

I switched from Chrome (💀) to Proton and it's great! Proton's even trying to become a non-profit now, LOL.

"Melon Husk" 🤣

As somebody switching to data-oriented design, ...

We need bots on Lem-Lem!!!

That's kinda' how Rockstar Games started, apparently. Strauss Zelnik (spelling...?) suggested the Houser brothers to enter the gaming market because movie and music markets were too saturated and had success rates too low. Gaming was new at the time.

All of this comes from some YouTube video. Will edit in a YouTube/Invidious link to it here, sometime...

They might even just take an actual semtence from an article and reframe it a little

Case for many things that can be answered via stackoverflow searches. Even the order in which GPT-4o brings up points is the exact same as SO answers or comments.

You win.

...Or reported, rather (I'm not American).

Client :3?

...?!?!?

ZE MEDIC IS HIYAAR!

Eternity (Android) showed the comment's content in notifications 😅...

"Ookla".
Remember the name.

(Thaaaaanksies! ^-^)

I find it funny how the internet still rages sometimes.

Me looking for where the penguin artwork spells "xkcd":

Wha-
People in the middle! Crushed yet again, oof!

Did anybody watch MattKC's Pyongyang Racer video? It's about a Flash game haha.

I'm unfortunately not aware.

What I do know is that D-Bus (and not "DBus") apparently doesn't work with MIME types directly. I may have been misinformed here - but this is some information I have received.

Essentially, the data sent cannot be assigned a type or format.

On the web, all data sent by a server has a MIME type ("text/html", "image/png", "video/mp4").

Android's system for inter-process ("running program") communication, intents, does include.
...Even Windows does, with its whatever complicated APIs.
D-Bus doesn't, so Tuxes too, don't. ...Yet.

D-Bus is apparently also not secure enough. Probably not as bad as X11, but not good enough.

So far, KDE and GNOME have had their own " wrapper" systems to allow using D-Bus through a layer of their code to cover little inconveniences like this.

As a Debian daily-driver with occasional systemd problems, ...not really.
But like, this should be very possible.

Hi! Did you mean to reply to my comment...?

Doesn't that instead affect the chest?!

We sure the bed had a slope of some kind?

PS Please do tell how to read the ":::".
Thanks!

(>!Working on a similar app these days, but for game controllers 👀!<)

"Recently" (a few months ago!...) tasted Tandoori Sauce 'za with Paneer. Loved it.

The rest was... Capsicum, and... Paprika, and... I guess Jalapeños; no Olives, I think - typical Indian vegetarian pizza (I'm Indian).
