You cannot fork the current project because it is not open source anymore. A fork of the last available GPL release would be possible, though.

Just because it’s open source
It’s not open source. The maintainer relicensed the project from GPL to the current source-available license last year.
The AUR package uses the last GPL release before the change and thus does the current license does not apply.

Technology@lemmy.world•Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developersEnglish
3·10 months agoSO did go overboard at times; I’ve seen quite a few instances where posts were locked for being “duplicates” of completely unrelated problems. Oftentimes they were accompanied with unnecessarily rude messages as well.
But yes, the unwillingness of some (most?) people to use the search function baffles me. They’d prefer to write a narrative essay in SO for their FizzBuzz assignment and argue with mods rather than type a few keywords to instantly get the solution.
Some stylistic notes
- The
head -1syntax is obsolete in POSIX, replaced byhead -n 1. for filename in $(ls)is inefficient and will break on whitespace. You can use shell globbing for this instead, e.g.,for filename in *.- A lot of the variables seem to be inconsistently quoted. I recommend running ShellCheck on it, as this can be dangerous (if you set TMPDIR to
/tmp/ dir, I believe it will remove/tmpanddir)

Programming@programming.dev•Falsehoods programmers believe about languages
13·1 year agoAs far as C goes, 1 is true and 0 is false.
In terms of POSIX exit codes, 0 is success and 1 is error.
Most terminal emulators are in fact slow and they can be a huge bottleneck if you run complex TUIs or workloads that print a lot of output.
Ever written a program that was extremely slow only for it to run instantly after removing your debug print statements? That’s because your terminal is slow.
Fast terminal emulators already exist, but they notably refused to add tabs/splits and overall tended to be quite janky. Ghostty merging these features may not be the most groundbreaking innovation, but a high quality piece of software that can drop-in replace something you use daily with some cool improvements is something to be excited about to me. :-)
It’s incredibly fast, has the features you would want like tabs/splits, maintains comprehensive compatibility, and is written cleanly in Zig. What’s not to like?

Games@lemmy.world•Deceive Inc. Developer Sweet Bandits Shuts DownEnglish
3·1 year agoThese are good points, but modern PvP games still support custom matches and going from there to self-hosted servers isn’t really much of a leap.
In fact, I believe Valve’s new game Deadlock does let you run your own dedicated servers.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Nintendo subpoenas Google, Discord, Reddit and more in ongoing Switch pirate crackdownEnglish
3·1 year agoLess games actually use Steam’s DRM than people think. Even the ones that require Steam to run often just use their API for stuff like multiplayer functionality or displaying leaderboards.
There’s an open source library that you can sub in to emulate the API and run the games on LAN without Steam. I believe there’s no decryption involved so it should be 100% legal, just like how Proton reimplements Windows APIs.

1·1 year agoDon’t Starve Together scratches the MMO itch for me. It’s not an MMO, but there are public servers where you can hop in and hang out, raid bosses and whatnot. I have ~4k hours in it now.

Games@sh.itjust.works•'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers'English
30·1 year agoValve does seem to contribute substantially to the development of their games, at least. Turtle Rock’s Evolve and Back 4 Blood had nowhere near the success of L4D/2, which is still going strong 15 years later.
As the other commenters have mentioned, this is part of the shell configuration and outside the scope of the terminal emulator.
You can configure this yourself by adding
shopt -s histverifyto your bashrc.


Adding on to what the other commenter mentioned, that is called a breaking change and would generally be avoided at all costs by libssl. See, e.g., the decades-long python3 transition.
