There is a lot of choices in that area, but for me every time there was something I was unhappy with. So in the end I just wrote my own. It works exactly like I want, and it was a fun project to do anyway.

Next stuff I want to add in it, is the automatic translation of lyrics (maybe with the deepl api).


It would be LISEZMOI.md


I really don't understand the hostility here. The digital euro seems like a good way to reduce the power of companies like visa and mastercard, and reduce the fees too. If the government is providing a way to pay freely in a digital way, why would I pay a company to do the same (or worse, see the last scandal between the card companies and steam)?


What makes you think that card comapnies/steam scandal wouldn’t happen with digital euro. EU could easily put some constraints on money usage and they wouldn’t need to justify it to anyone…

And the hostility probably come from experience with EU that makes decisions solely in interest of politicians and corporations instead of EU citizens in my opinion.


1. You can easily have a local payments system without creating a new digital currency. So it's not hard to make people wonder, in perfectly good faith, why those two distinct ideas are being bundled right now.

2. Before you portray disagreement as "hostility," please try to keep the site code of conduct in mind.


8 years ago was the first time that person encountered a problem with btrfs. But that wasn’t the last apparently:

Does someone know if there's an increase in memory usage for Gnome or if it's about the same? I am wondering if I can update an old computer with only 4GB of memory.


Running Trixie/Gnome on a machine with 4GB (3.6GB usable) w/o any trouble.

Gnome runs better than ever, the problem is in my experience usually the web browser when it comes to RAM usage. Install ZRAM and the machine should be perfectly usable, if your usage patterns are similar to mine.

(Only thing which annoys me is that I cannot find an excuse to buy a better computer, because everything simply works on the machine...)


Thanks for the feedback!


Some people support this law, not because they think those pesticides are harmless, but because other EU country can still use these pesticides which give them an economic advantage. I don't understand while they are not instead asking for a European law to ban them. So every EU country would play with the same rules.


> I don't understand while they are not instead asking for a European law to ban them

That is exactly what they are asking for, but it's not up to them to decide for the other countries.


I don't know how it is in other european countries, but most French people wouldn't even think about it. They are used to the EU laws being dictated one sidedly by people they don't know and haven't voted for, and then parroted by French politicians with no resistance.

Not that I know every French people


> Some people support this law, not because they think those pesticides are harmless, but because other EU country can still use these pesticides which give them an economic advantage

A race to the bottom. I understand the idea, but I don't find it great.

> a European law to ban them

... would indeed be a better solution.


I frequently use the Switch's power brick to charge my Thinkpad, as it's smaller and so easier to transport than the Thinkpad's original power brick.


Me too, I have a tiny 30W PD charger + usb-c cable which is enough for my uses, and about 10% of the size and weight of the 65W power brick.


>Australia was the first country to widely support chip/pin

Do you have any source on that? I find it rather surprising.


I don’t know if it’s that surprising. It’s easy to migrate over small markets and the population of Australia is extremely geographically concentrated.


Australia wasn’t the first, but it did have the second highest adoption rate of contactless payments in the world at one point, behind New Zealand.

In Australia, it helped that there were only about five POS acquirers of note (the big four banks plus Tyro), who owned pretty much all the terminal hardware.


Not moving straight to a more recent version, but still cherry-picking some parts of them. You can see some functionalities from Lua 5.2 and 5.3 are working in Luajit: https://luajit.org/extensions.html


I guess all of this means Lua has "flavors" more than "versions".


Do you know if there are some professional games that have been made with Odin and released on steam or on game consoles?


I (the author of the article) also made a kooky game called CAT & ONION: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2781210/CAT__ONION/

It's a short game made in Odin, but I spent a lot of effort in polishing it so that it would be a pleasant little strange experience.

It was the first commercial game made in Odin.

Some games made by other people:

Solar Storm (turn-based artillery game): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2754920/Solar_Storm/

2deez (fighting game, not yet released): https://store.steampowered.com/app/3583000/2Deez/


Not a game but the impressive VFX software embergen is written in Odin iirc.
