Ok internet people - a weird thing happened to me on Signal. You know how now there are user names and little icons to indicate who is saved in your phone? I was trying to look someone up and realized there were a TON of Signal contacts with the "saved to your phone" indicator who I did not know. After some sleuthing, I realized that somehow a friend's entire contact list had synced to my Signal account, presumably because months ago they logged into youtube on my phone... i do not sync my Signal app to google, so i dont really understand how this happened. These contacts aren't synced to my google account, or to my phone contacts, but they are now synced to my Signal app... I contacted the friend and they went to accounts.google.com and saw they were "logged in" to my phone, and have logged out. But how do I clear the synced contacts??? Anyone ever heard of this? Super creeppppyyyy!

Doomed_Daniel , (edited )
@Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@wildishness
Did it sync to your signal account, or to your phone's contact list (that signal uses to find contacts)?

UPD: oh, you already wrote "or to my phone contacts" - sorry!
However, is it possible that they were accessible through your phone contacts while your friend was logged into Google/Youtube, and removed again when they logged out?

Somehow this being an Android/Google fuckup seems way more plausible to me than it being a Signal fuckup (how would Signal even access Youtube?)

@ItsTrainingCatsAndDogs I mean this in the friendliest way possible, but about boosting this: https://turtleisland.social/@Yehuda/112463272830495502

Here's the thing about Jewish culture: it's not one culture. Some of those cultures are no more indigenous to the land being occupied by the state of Israel than I am indigenous to roaming around eastern and central Europe because I have some settler ancestors of English extraction (they, in turn were probably descended from Anglo-Saxon people who settled in the British Isles). This is all made up bullshit.

There were certainly Jews who lived in Palestine prior to Zionists being assholes. There are even a lot of Jews living in Israel now who got kicked out of surrounding Arab countries in the 1950s (because the Zionists were being assholes and the Arab leaders of these countries took it out on the Jews living in their territory). But, the political elite in Israel is largely Ashkenazi, a Jewish culture that didn't really exist outside of Europe until sometime in the 19th century.

Cultural erasure is equating all Jews with whatever Israel is pushing, including the erasure of Ashkenazi/Yiddish culture.

We have… questions, which the docs don't seem to answer.

  1. Many places in the VS docs refer to "the project" as if it were a singular file ( see screenshot of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/common-macros-for-build-commands-and-properties?view=msvc-170 ).

you know what's also funny?
how they totally redefined the meaning of CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR.
It used to be "The name of the CPU CMake is building for."

but unfortunately, that was always broken, on many systems it just returned the host CPU (unless crosscompiling where it's explicitly set)
Their "fix" was to document the broken behavior.
There AFAIK still is no reliable way to tell the target CPU arch in CMake 🤡

    i'm looking at contenders for a xterm based gui lib that I can crib from for a scopes based lib. the micro text editor was implemented with tcell, which in turn was heavily inspired by termbox, which looks like a nice minimalistic C implementation to start off of.

    i feel all this should be a backend for SDL, so that i can support real graphical environments as well later on, but as far as i know (and please correct me @icculus if i'm wrong) it's out of focus.

    Doomed_Daniel ,
    @Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @lritter
    I guess with "xterm based" you mean "outputs to a VT102 or similar" terminal, supporting the usual color escapes etc?
    I think the only graphical terminal output SDL ever supported was libcaca and aalib in SDL1.2

    But you most probably don't want pixels displayed as ASCII art, but something more text-focused. For SDL that wouldn't just be a backend, but an entirely new API, because it doesn't really support text output and doesn't have GUI abstraction (widgets or whatever)

    Doomed_Daniel ,
    @Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @lritter anyway, the classic lib for this kind of thing is libncurses..
    other projects that might be of interest:
    text-mode ImGui: https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui

    crossplatform-abstraction for readline and colored text: https://github.com/daanx/isocline

    Doomed_Daniel ,
    @Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @lritter
    yeah, but I think mouse input requires a window to be useful (as reference for the coordinates), so they'd have to allow a terminal to be a SDL window, but having an SDL window that you can't render to would be kinda weird..

    OTOH, you can set a dummy videodriver before SDL_Init(), with SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_VIDEODRIVER, "dummy"); and use parts of SDL that don't require a proper windowing backend.
    I know that SDL Events do generally work, but I'm not sure which ones you can get then

    Doomed_Daniel ,
    @Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    @lritter
    dhewm3 uses this for the dedicated server, so some things can still run through the main event loop. It seems to generate and inject events in that case itself though, so not sure if any events come from SDL in that case.. I haven't written that code myself so I'm not too familiar with all details (and even if I had, it's >12 years old at this point, so I would've forgotten)

    If you're a developer who works on a machine running Windows 11 and whose work involves lots of operations across many small files -- think things like building/compiling, npm package updates, git commits, etc. -- Win11 has a feature that lets you carve out part of your storage as a "Dev Drive," using a different filesystem that's more optimized for file I/O than NTFS is. Microsoft estimates putting your code into a Dev Drive can speed up these operations by 25% or more.

    AFAIK their approach for custom names is "write an UDEV rule to name the device, you can match the MAC or whatever there", which IIRC was already possible before systemd
    (which means that you also could've written UDEV rules to get stable names based on PCIe paths for identical hardware)

    Being the responsible parents we are, we have Carbon Monoxide alarms in the house, because hey, it's what you do. Right?

    Of course, they have never gone off (knock wood), so you do tend to forget that they exist at all.

    Well, yesterday one of those alarms decided that it needed to really remind us that it exists, and that it's been ten years since we activated it. Because it's now time to replace it.

    Of course, nobody was home - except for the dog. Who is now traumatized by that beeping hell-box that suddenly decided that it was a good idea to tell everybody out of the blue that it needs replacing - at 95dB, just to make sure.

    Kidde - I'm sure you could at least start out with just a mild chirp, instead of going full "the bark collar from hell" crazy. No?

    that's probably a good idea, if you can find ear protection when the smoke alarm goes off in the middle of the night ;)

    In erster Linie macht mich das durstig, TBH.

    Und dann kommt noch die Frage hoch, was für Getränke AVM wohl auf Messeständen u.ä. ausschenkt
