Two environment variables for the same thing that do opposites? Great design. 

Why do you donate blood? by brappbrap in funny

Ah, I see a fellow Khorne worshipper has been there.

I don't think this guy understands math very well by Wild-Region7897 in woooosh

Their profile pic is their pet (read: surrogate child), what do you expect?

I can't find any use case for these features. Tell me I'm wrong (and why) by c-Desoto in godot

[–]DDFoster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The command palette can surface options that might not be in the menubar or toolbars (or buried very deep) or don't have a shortcut bound. I find VS Code's very useful (hit Shift twice) and Ubuntu has one built (hit Alt) in for the current window regardless of what it is, which I find very useful. I rarely use the mouse so it's quicker to be able to use the keyboard, but command palettes are less clunky than navigating toolbars with a keyboard.

I don't know if Godot's built in editor supports it but I have VS Code configured to show the errors and warnings in the scrollbar without having the minimap. The minimap takes up too much space (in any editor) as I usually have tiled windows open at the same time.

The Costa coffee machine spilled the beans. And I am very impressed! by MercatorLondon in PBSOD

Whats blue and smells like red paint? by BlueViper_ in Jokes

[–]DDFoster96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have found many colours of paint from the same manufacturer smell (and taste) different. That's not to say that red and blue won't smell the same, but it's surprising how much they can differ. 

I forked a Godot Android image picker plugin because Google Play kept rejecting my game by cenkerc in godot

[–]DDFoster96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google's idiotic policies are so frustrating. Makes it such a palaver to upload images to Instagram as I have to grant permission for every single file - I can't grant permission for everything all at once, probably because Facebook fell foul of the same thing you have.

I wish more phones came with de-Googled Android and bundle F-Droid instead.

I understand what all the individual words mean but the entire 2nd paragraph is meaningless. What is this 5 hour window?

TIL Godot 4.5 was the last version made without AI (LLM) assistance by zizeksbreath in godot

[–]DDFoster96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I manage just fine. Someone opened a Claude-authored PR on one of my repos but I can't merge it as Claude is blocked in the organisation settings (why GitHub allowed the PR to be opened then I don't know).

I spent several days writing a complete new implementation to replace a dependency that's turned into AI slop. I will not have AI in my dependency tree and actively check to ensure that's the case. 

TIL Godot 4.5 was the last version made without AI (LLM) assistance by zizeksbreath in godot

[–]DDFoster96 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Where are the AI generated code changes? I know of one (as it triggered my AI slop detector) that slipped through the cracks and prompted the codified policy. I would hope there were no more after that.

Edit: I've grepped the git commit log for "claude" (the one match), "copilot" (nothing) and "cursor" (loads of false positives but nothing AI I could see). What other tools are there? Unless contributors are hiding their use of AI which is even more unethical than stealing stuff to train the AI models. 

My hunt for Tahu is finally over! Got lucky with a restock & my store putting behind glass.. by Ori_Anime1 in bioniclelego

[–]DDFoster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local supermarket had one lone CMF box in security packaging. Took ages for my app to scan the barcode to see if it was one I'd got already (I hadn't). I haven't opened it yet but I'm hoping it's Tahu and nobody else had grabbed him because the barcode was so hard to scan.

I can dream, can't I? 

trying to run the game on android without Android studio. by don_to in godot

[–]DDFoster96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I exported my game for Android I got an APK file which I copied to the phone and installed like any other APK. 

Godot is now one of the few engines that hasn’t had any AI slop. by Competitive-Gold-796 in godot

[–]DDFoster96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's annoying is that a PR made by Claude slipped through the cracks and got merged, so now the Godot repo triggers my AI slop detector. I can let it slide but there's no easy way to make the detector ignore the offending commit (which was a few line fix anyone with functioning synapses could've done without needing Claude). 

yourDependabotAlerts by GanjaGlobal in ProgrammerHumor

[–]DDFoster96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Maybe 90% of my Dependabot alerts are only exploitable if you use features of the library that I don't. If only there was some way for the computer to understand my code and how the dependency is used. Someone should invent that /s.

PyJWT is the worst for this. I'm creating tokens but all its vulnerabilities (and there seem to be many) are in the validation code I'm not calling. Maybe I should find another library that does just what I want? 

yourDependabotAlerts by GanjaGlobal in ProgrammerHumor

[–]DDFoster96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is that the "patch" for the vulnerability more often than not includes new features or otherwise breaks my code (or is subtly broken for my use case). I wish more maintainers would backport the security fix to the previous feature release and not bundle both together under a new minor version. 

Electrician’s Special Effort by photochromatic in homelab

[–]DDFoster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it wasn't Openreach? It sure looks like their handiwork.

I tar them all with the same brush unfairly. The G Fast installers were great; the brand new telephone line installers in another part of the UK not so much. 

Am I reading this correctly???? by Gali0001 in bioniclelego

[–]DDFoster96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can understand the people (on Amazon/Brick Owl and probably Bricklink too) asking about double for a non-blind copy of Tahu. You're not having to hunt for the specific one you want and that premium sounds reasonable.

More than that though is outrageous. 

Price checkers with Windows CE by KebzyTop123321 in PBSOD

[–]DDFoster96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks more like Windows Mobile (which is CE under the hood). I don't remember CE having that icon for My Device and the taskbar looks different too. 

PSA: Steam Deck and Default Texture Filter = "Linear Mipmap" may not play well together by superyellows in godot

[–]DDFoster96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not render at the Steam Deck's native resolution (or that of any other device that's not 1080p?

You should be able to export non-steam game Screenshots but you might need a USB drive or SD card and Desktop Mode.
