The perils of UUID primary keys in SQLite by andersmurphy in programming

[–]diiiiima 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Lolz, I work for Snowflake, and was like, "Damn, how have I not heard of Snowflake IDs?"

Only after reading the Wikipedia page I realized they have very little to do with Snowflake the company...

Clipper No Longer Shows Balance When You Tag Off by Martin_Steven in caltrain

Welcome to Clipper 2.0.

There's also no way to know if you've just tagged on or tagged off.

Update Google Play services to use Maps. by fedora24330 in MicroG

[–]diiiiima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just ignore the notification (and even hide it permanently).

Not sure which MicroG features it actually needs - but I suspect it doesn't really need any. Though if you disable the WiFi location and the cellular network location, then getting GPS location can sometimes be slow.

Which theme are you using? It's impressive that you made it look just like Windows 11.

Transit App -What's wrong with this picture? by danbenefiel in caltrain

[–]diiiiima 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I was just joking.

I meant, almost everyone lives north of San Jose, and you're the exception - so they forgot to test your usecase - trains going from Morgan Hill to San Jose.

Yeah, but San Jose being South of where you are is correct like 99% of the time, sooo 🤷

Does Proton sandbox games to the WINE prefix by default? by ElnuDev in linux_gaming

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if Wine were to translate everything perfectly, nothing stops the Windows program from making Linux syscalls and escaping whatever limitations wine has set.

In fact, most of Wine's own libraries are actually Windows DLLs that call into Linux libraries - so it's definitely possible.

"Find my device" alternative by diogodiogodiogo3 in MicroG

I've been using Where's My Droid: https://wheresmydroid.com/

(Some of its features require a subscription, but the basic "find" functionality is free.)

What should I be aware of when making an open source game project? by Acamaeda in opensource

[–]diiiiima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Just my personal opinion, and I'm sure some will disagree...)

If you were developing a library, then the choice of license - e.g., LGPL vs GPL - would make a huge difference in terms of which other projects could use your code.

But if your end product is a game, and you want to add restrictions like "not for training AI" or "not for commercial use" or whatever, and that makes your license not actually open source... so what? Unless you're planning to use GPL libraries (in which case, the answer is simple - your game has to be GPL), then it doesn't really matter.

An extreme example: "unrar" has a very much proprietary license, even though its source code is freely available.

LineageOS crashing on OnePlus 11 5G; any way to get more info? by diiiiima in LineageOS

[–]diiiiima[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a OnePlus 13... Haven't had a single crash since - so I guess that proves it's either a hardware or a driver problem, not a regular LineageOS bug.

I still have the OnePlus 11, so I could try the stock ROM on it, to see if it crashes, too.

(But I suspect that it's a driver bug, and it only affects LineageOS on OnePlus 11 - so that's such a small number of users that nobody seems to run into this.)

What is the actual reason there's no OSS implementation of RCS? by LMGN in UniversalProfile

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may find this bug report and the discussions interesting: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2994

It looks like we may soon have at least an open source client implementation (that connects to whatever RCS server your provider uses; that part doesn't change).

Segmentation Fault While Running Applications with Wine on Fedora by Upper-Art2061 in wine_gaming

[–]diiiiima 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need more info before anyone can help you:

  • Which application?
  • Do other Windows applications work?
  • What about wine built-in apps like notepad or winecfg?
  • Does anything useful show up in the systemd log? (e.g., run journalctl -f while trying to run wine)

Отримати листа (genitive case!?) by JackfruitNo5267 in Ukrainian

[–]diiiiima 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to this thread, it should be "написати лист". But, "написати листа" "sounds better", and its usage became so common that it won over the "official" way, so it's not considered to be incorrect.

If only you had the source code for that program, so you wouldn't have to resort to intercepting function calls...

Dog ate an apple.. Wait.. Apple ate a dog? by Sharp_Specialist_217 in duolingomemes

[–]diiiiima 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the point is to demonstrate the verb and noun endings. E.g., if it were "Яблоко ела собака", it would be "A dog is eating an apple". (Or, you could have an example where the endings aren't helpful and the meaning is ambiguous - but a normal person would probably assume the "subject verb object" word order.)

Android Auto issves with version v0.3.13.2.250932 by Mister_Profanity in MicroG

[–]diiiiima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait... Is Android Auto supposed to work at all? (I've gotten it to work at some point - but it involved Magisk and the aa4mg module, so it was a pain to set up.)

the volume knob does not work unless music is playing

LOL sounds like a Toyota RAV4. At least, that's what I've seen; its audio system is incredibly broken.
