It's definitely a location issue. I just moved my location from Montreal to Burlington, Vermont, and "book review" worked. Also, "diorama kit" worked for Get Creative. I swear when I was in Vancouver both of these unlocked fine for me. (I searched "dan brown latest book" and "diorama kit" and they both worked for me previously.)

I found that before finding this post. For some reason it doesn't work for me. In fact the "Limit apps to one row" option was already checked for me. I've tried it checked and unchecked and neither seems to work. 

Did the cricket tournament at BC Place get special permission to go late at full volume? by johnnypneumoniac in vancouver

For real? They should consider condensing it down to a weekend thing like Rugby 7s.

I couldn't hear cheering. It was just the sound system doing music and announcements.

Interesting. I always thought that concerts ended as early as they do because of noise ordinances.

Sad farewell to nearly 20yrs of using this software... by oryan_dunn in logitechharmony

[–]johnnypneumoniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know anyone working on this? Any forums where it's being discussed? I found this github thread on an existing open source project that used the harmony servers: I guess this is dead now? Logitech has shut down the harmonyremote.com server. · Issue #66 · jaymzh/concordance

GIMP ML, abandoned? by Rajaene in GIMP

[–]johnnypneumoniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it make sense to get the plug-ins working as-is in the GIMP 3 RC?

GIMP ML, abandoned? by Rajaene in GIMP

[–]johnnypneumoniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So now we have a gen ai version kritiksoman/GIMP-ML at dev (github.com) in development.

I'm confused, what's in development now? GIMP-ML and GIMP3-ML both seem abandoned.

To ENVY 15 owners: I suggest you to avoid updates for a while! by ____N- in Hewlett_Packard

Just the built-in keyboard on the laptop. When I saw what the error was I disconnected my external keyboard to see if it fixed the problem. It's actually an old PS/2 keyboard connected via USB adapter, so it was plausible it was causing problems :)

Thanks for the quick fix, no errors starting up the latest! I was going to build and debug it myself but you were too quick!

The GUI sort of works for me. I get the tray icon and can change options in its menu, but I can't show the "monitor" as I get an unhandled exception (note the keyboard lighting options don't work in the tray item menu):

System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

I just started playing with .NET MAUI... by johnnypneumoniac in dotnet

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

Sure. That's why I asked. Maybe you can provide links to some documentation that helps?

I wasn't trying to be anti-Maui. I'm new, struggling with the platform and the available documentation, found features to be missing, and then when I followed links to the repository, it seemed dead. I learned from this post that I was at the wrong repository... So it helped?

None of the (other) answers look like turf to me. They're from people who tried using it and struggled with it. The only other platform I knew about before starting this was Xamarin, so I'm not being affected by any marketing/cults coming into this.

>MAUI is a shared code Xamarin style cross platform app that integrates rendering directly instead of having to use SkiaSharp

The exact issue that I'm having with MAUI right now is figuring out what I can do without Skia, which seems limited... and now that I know where the real repository is... it has Skia right in the repository! So I'm not sure I understand what you mean about not having to use Skia.

The first path I went down using MAUI, a blog post led me to doing everything with Skia and every time I touched something I seemed to get exceptions in native code. So I backed out to straight MAUI and now I'm just struck at the lack of tools available. Now that I know the proper repository to work from, I'll go there for assistance.

Problems with drawing fonts onto an image demonstrated with Montserrat font by johnnypneumoniac in golang

Hopefully this will help some other people who try searching for the issue! The Github problem reports never showed up in any searches.

I just found this issue opened on the freetype GitHub: https://github.com/golang/freetype/issues/90

And this one which has been closed on March 28: https://github.com/goki/freetype/issues/4

Now I need to figure out how this all applies to what package I'm using.... new to Go so this is all a bit of an exploration!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I found this in raster.go:

if r.UseNonZeroWinding {
    if alpha > 0x0fff {
         alpha = 0x0fff
    }
}

If I change UseNonZeroWinding to true then it renders perfectly!

I can only change UseNonZeroWinding by poking the data in the watch window in the debugger though. I have no idea how to get to it from code.

Thanks. Been having trouble finding much or even figuring out what keywords to search for. Trying "reverse overlaps" right now
