Anyone remember the shenanigans in Maricopa County in 2020?
I remember that when it all went to court, everyone who’d been incredibly bombastic about the shenanigans all of a sudden had nothing to say to back it up other than, “trust me, bro.”
There are lots of details including primary source citations in the article.
That sounds perfect. Installing the system -devel
package and -lfreetype
is the right way to do it. Glad you got it working!
Remove the locally compiled install and install freetype-devel
, and see if that works.
That is what GNU Stow does, with a lot of package-management-like helper commands which make it all organized and convenient.
i don’t. i install the dev package of my distro
I think you cracked the code. I was really curious what distribution this person was using that didn’t have freetype, but missing installing the -dev package makes perfect sense and I definitely remember doing that and tearing my hair out trying to figure out why I couldn’t compile some thing that needed dev headers.
OP, install libfreetype-dev or its equivalent on your system. 90% chance that fixes it.
I definitely wouldn’t recommend changing every include.
Can you configure freetype to go straight into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include instead, with no freetype/? That would be how I would attack it. Most libraries are going to have a way to configure them to go where you want them to go. GNU Stow can be very useful here to keep things organized.
What distro are you using that doesn’t have freetype available? That seems strange.
Even if you know it was very bad, you don’t really know how bad it was.
He’s blind and has lost his sense of smell, so he has trouble finding his food before other turtles push him away and steal it, but he still knows how to fuck and to show up to support Frederick if some human he doesn’t know is messing with Frederick’s genitals.
Due to his advanced age, Jonathan spends his days doing almost everything with his mate, including eating, sleeping and mating.[13] The sex of Frederica, one of two of his favourite tortoises thought to be female (the other being Emily), as well as his companion since 1991, was cast into doubt in 2017 when island veterinarian Catherine Man indicated that due to a deformity of its plastron its sex could not be verified,[4] and is now known to be male, being renamed Frederik.[1] While Frederik was undergoing the examination, Jonathan came over and did not leave the side of Frederik and the veterinarian during the entire process.
How about tlnet
? I just made !tlnet@rss.ponder.cat.
I edited it to add it.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
It’s on the ballot statewide in six states so far, and it’s already in action in a bunch of places. Almost everybody who isn’t a malicious establishment politician likes it wherever it gets tried. Read the sticky post to learn more.
It is and I could. I’d be fine doing it, but why not just read them when they come up in !fediverse@lemmy.world? I’ve been trying not to create communities that are going to be duplicates or spam, or split the user base between one way of reading articles and another way of reading articles. Do you want it as a DM, maybe?
I think an even better way would be software that can follow the original Wordpress feed, if they have one, but Lemmy can’t do that right now.
Not a problem at all. I think a better way to do that will be to let moderators of existing communities add the bot to their existing communities. Someone asked about doing that, and it’s easy to set up the bot to make it possible, so I think I’ll just do that instead. I don’t need to create a duplicate community for anything that’s already got one.
I’m fine with the existing structure, with one community per periodical. I tried !coding_blogs@rss.ponder.cat and !science_streams@rss.ponder.cat and it looks like some people are into that type of structure, but I’m thinking mostly in terms of one-periodical communities or moderators from off-instance communities being able to add things.
Are there any that you would cherry-pick that you think you would personally use? I’d be perfectly willing to add them, if so.
I don’t think that the Austin or Texas communities are useful as communities. Do you mind if I delete them?
Are there other feeds from your OPML that you would really like to have in Lemmy?
Than there is problem with I don’t trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.
Are there any media sources that I’m hosting feeds for which you feel that way about? I think the problem is much worse in a lot of free content, and I’ve been trying to bring in honest and high-quality sources when I’m adding news sources.
While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.
If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month… or a year).
I don’t understand, can you explain more?
Edit: I understand now. That’s outside the scope of my abilities… I would like to be able to offer a paid subscription with a deal that provides access to a wide variety of paywalled content, like a site license at a university, but I think that’s also outside the scope of my abilities. You’re right that they need a better model.
I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.
It seems like a good compromise. I certainly understand that if someone’s decided not to read paywalled content, putting a lot of it into their Lemmy feed in a way that’s difficult to disable isn’t a good thing to do. I think separating the paywalled content into a separate user so it’s easy to block is probably a good pragmatic solution.
I completely agree. Maybe my phrasing was careless. I wasn’t trying to be critical of the pace of accepting PRs or anything. I only meant that I think more flexibility in the frontend would help, instead of needing any minor UI change to go all the way through a cycle all the way up to you, incorporating it into the core codebase, and then filtering back down to an upgrade by the instance admin. But please don’t take it as blaming you for any of that situation. I was raising it in the effort to propose a solution and also to advocate against people just complaining about the moderation tools and then moving on, and waiting for you to make them happy.
I did look at the backend plugin system PR, although sadly not enough yet to have any opinion or feedback on it. I do think a frontend plugin system, of sorts, could help a lot. I’m not sure when I will have time but I will try to put together something on this instance to show what I’m talking about, and if I do wind up doing it and it’s well received, I am completely open to putting it together as a fixed-up and official PR for the main codebase.
I think that over the next few years Sam Altman is going to learn the same lessons that events have been trying to teach Elon Musk since circa 2021.
