Tournament Writeup 2023‐09‐11

You can play the game at oort.rs. I've found it quite addictive so far. The link in the post is a writeup of the most recent tournament results in the single fighter category, which seems to be the main category being played at the moment. I think now is a good time to get into it as no one has perfected a strategy yet and even the first place AI still crashes into the arena walls sometimes. 😅 There is an active discord server (yeah, I know 😬) with a small but nice community :)

Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google
  • There's a long list of supported controllers. The process for making your own mappings can indeed be a bit cumbersome, but it also seems to be quite powerful in the kind of features it can support, thanks to javascript integration.

    Not sure about the library management, seems to work well enough for me.

  • That's because they're a malware company:

    this has been going on in several different forms for years now so I’m just counting the days until the next annoying pop-up appears.

    The solution is to not use their products. Use Linux.

    Tafkars: Reddit-API proxy for Lemmy

    I've been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that's needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it's open source.

    I've got it to a point where basic browsing is possible and works with RedReader and libreddit, but I could use some help testing it with more apps and of course implementing more of the API.

    To test with an app, you need to modify it to connect to the proxy instead of Reddit, which I've done here for libreddit, just for testing. The RedReader dev has already expressed some interest in making the API url configurable for the end user.

    What open source project(s) are you working on?
  • The reason I want to build this kind of proxy is that any app would be able to use it with minimal changes (configurable API server). For proprietary apps, you're still at the mercy of the devs, but their work is greatly simplified. For open source apps such as e.g. RedReader, Infinity, anyone could make those changes. Another thing that it might be useful for is bots and the like. If I manage to implement support for posting, those could work on Lemmy as well. I personally would like to see the return of kg2bee.

  • What open source project(s) are you working on?
  • Since boost isn't open source, the dev would have to allow you to configure the API endpoint (so the app would connect to the proxy instead of reddit.com), or someone would have to hack the app, which would probably be somewhat difficult.

  • What open source project(s) are you working on?
  • An API proxy to allow 3rd party reddit clients to browse Lemmy with only minimal code changes. I've got it showing comments now :) Source isn't uploaded yet, but it will be soon.
