#pacman

Verflixt und zugenäht noch eins …

Ich möchte doch nur, dass #pacman auf einem Schlag alle #haskell-Pakete entfernt. Aber offensichtlich bin ich unfähig, den richtigen Befehl einzugeben. Zumal sich #fish beim * immer als zickige Diva aufführt. Aber selbst beim Wechsel zu #bash beschwert sich pacman, nichts finden zu können.

sudo pacman -Rns haskell-\*
sudo pacman -Rns haskell\*

sind zumindest falsch. Mich nervt aber auch, dass haskell bei der Installation von #pandoc aufs System kam und "sudo pacman -Rns pandoc-cli" zwar einige haskell-Pakete entfernte, aber eben nicht alle. #Arch #ArchLinux

Let's #solve: Remember the legendary #Pacman computer game? The 4 main #ghosts who tried to catch the Pacman were called Inky, Blink, Pinky, and Clyde!
Then there was a Mrs. Packman version, where the ghosts were called Inky, Blink, Pinky, and Sue.
Why? Because!

So the correct answers were Clyde or Sue.

e505 with Michael and Michael – stories and discussion on AI technical & security challenges, a Metallica augmented concert, Dungeons & Dragons and much more.

Michael and Michael get things started off while Andy is away with a discussion on the security challenges and technical complexity for AI implementations for Siri and in upscaling video.  They then turn to another set of AI game generation and playing experiences using Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros.  There have been many such stories in the past years where the level of AI sophistication has been tested by either developing game code or leveraging machine learning to play a game.  

Moving into the augmented experience world, Michael R gives his firsthand impressions of the new Apple Vision Pro Metallica immersive concert. He was very impressed – listen into the episode for the specific vignettes that were most intriguing to him.  This spurred a conversation between Michael and Michael about ways to potentially interact with such immersive experiences in the style that the 1983 game Dragon’s Lair used to highlight choices for the player.  Take a look at the YouTube video below for this game mechanic.  In another story, Lowe’s Home Improvement is using the Apple Vision Pro to help you visualize your kitchen design.  This also reminds the co-hosts of similar experiences from Ikea.

The team then heads over to the Pokemon Go Gym to exercise the story the recent sale by Niantic of the game (and the game’s data) to Scopely.  Michael and Michael imagine how in-game rewards could generate immensely valuable (near) real time location data collection.  Last, the team wraps up with a couple of Dungeons and Dragons stories – one on the tabletop augmented experience and another on a colossal D20.

How would you like to experience a concert or sporting event from the comfort of your living room?  Have your bots drop our bots a line at @gamesatwork_biz (our home for now) and let us know!

Hello Mastodon! I'm a power engineer who is trying out solo game development and on the way to release Power Network Tycoon – a game where you build and manage your own electrical grid with real physics simulation.

If you've ever wondered how power systems actually work (or why they fail), this might be your jam. I built it to be technically accurate while still being fun. To say it's been a challenge is an understatement

Истории о которых не возможно молчать #linux #archlinux #pacman

RFE I filed in #DNF just now: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/issues/2222

This lets apps like #Ptyxis do nice GUI progress indicators.

Someone who is a #Debian contributor, do yourself a favour: please file an enhancement request on #APT & apt-get to support this progress indication integration feature (like Flatpak can do, and hopefully DNF can do too, eventually). I'm not going to report an issue in Debian, given its bug reporting tooling.

I'd fully expect Arch's #pacman to already have this shipping BTW 

I ran into an error upgrading by EndeavourOS system which came about due in large part to my not paying attention to new Pacman news. In a short article, I explain how I diagnosed the error (by checking news updates) and how I fixed it (by reading said news updates).

For those following the wonderful #video #tutorial on how to program a #SEGA #MasterSystem #videogame using the C language, xfixium has now posted parts 9 and 10

The tutorial recreates the Ms. Pac-Man arcade classic from scratch

Here's the whole series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jGkoHX3BSk&list=PLBYs5vZbDPv6UPqtU_deDSihZjeoCkUsS&index=1

Everyone's different so I'm not forcing this on anyone, I'm also not particularly recommending this to anyone, but from my personal experience, #ArchLinux or rather its derivatives like #EndeavourOS (NOT including #Manjaro) or even #SteamOS (to some degree, not apples-to-apples comparison since that OS is purposefully locked down) has actually been the most user-friendly to use and easy to maintain lol.

I think it's been 3 years or more now since I've made the switch? Not only me tho, since I've "deployed" the same setup also on our family PC, and on my wife's personal rig, and surprise, surprise.. we've faced not a single issue despite not being a sifu in #Linux wizardry. I've had many, MANY more issues/frustrations using other distros for "normies" like #PopOS, #ElementaryOS, (and Manjaro ) and the biggest hurdle on those distros has always been software installation.

It was almost always the case, and I still see it happening now based on others' accounts of their experience, that you'll very quickly encounter a case where you want to install something, it's not found on any of the distro's repos and you'd have to add a dedicated software repository purely for that one package - and many other packages, before you could install them. Even worse, sometimes you'll have to go thru the same hassle to get their dependencies too. For a "regular" user that these distros are "catered" to? will almost certainly lead to breaking the system in some way.

This should be a bit better now thanks to #Flatpak/#Flathub, but I'm still seeing people needing to do shit like download random scripts off of #GitHub just to get something like #DavinciResolve installed and running. On an Arch-like distro, the only setup really I've done on all machines is to install yay which can be used in place of #pacman (Arch's default package manager), Flatpak, and #KDE's app store frontend, #Discover. In 99% of cases, I can install/update the Flatpak of an app, if not, it'd either be available on Arch's repos or the #AUR (which comes with yay right out of the box) - all through the GUI.

Everything else from that point has been a breeze - and this is despite using an #NVIDIA GPU on at least 2 systems, mine esp with a much more complicated setup including multi-monitors, multi-capture cards/devices, professional audio equipment, touchpad, etc. None of us have ever encountered any Arch/distro related issues since we first started daily driving EndeavourOS - some minor issues that prop up here and there (rarely) have only been issues that face all Linux users like the transition to #Wayland and so on.

Again, this is not a rec - I'd still recommend users looking to migrate from #Windows to maybe try some of the more "mainstream" distros like #LinuxMint (+1 bonus tho if it comes with official #KDEPlasma support) since they should theoretically be more "stable" as a non-rolling release distro, but if that's not working out, something like EndeavourOS could be an option.

#Bootstrap fun: #libassuan upgraded its symbols separately from its #soname in a patch-level release (with several months in between!)
On #ArchLinux we had upgraded to the weird version that has a soname change but no symbol change.
Since #pacman requires the library transitively via #gpgme, there now is no clean way to upgrade this without patching all consumers in some intermediate step.
(The staging build environment would otherwise have a broken pacman and thus not be functional).
