There needs to be some subset/common theme for the Universal Blue distro family: Aurora, Bazzite, and Bluefin. I am not aesthetically talented enough to come up with such a collection.

Do I spy a Bluefin user?

Programming@programming.dev•How much are SOLID principles in OOP programming (and JVM languages specifically) just a mindless following of a set of ideas that aren't always the best solution?English
7·15 days agoSOLID often comes up against YAGNI (you ain’t gonna need it).
What makes software so great to develop (as opposed to hardware) is that you can (on the small scale) do design after implementation (i.e. refactoring). That lets you decide after seeing how your new bit fits in whether you need an abstraction or not.

Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok may become more right-wing as China signals approval for US saleEnglish
20·19 days agoIf China is okay with the sale that means it’s not good for the US. Danger, Will Robinson, danger!

Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•Ontario’s MDA Space Plunges 25% After Losing Deal to SpaceXEnglish
17·2 months agoSo after talking to the FCC, a US company decides to cancel a contract with a Canadian company in favour of the billionaire-owned US one? Quelle surprise…
You know, maybe free market capitalism isn’t so bad. TOO BAD WE’LL NEVER KNOW.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Montréal Could Moves Toward Proportional Representation |A Breakthrough for Canadian Democracy.English
18·2 months agoI just got back from my first (short) trip to Montréal in nearly 10 years. It’s the most human city in Canada, IMO. This would be a very human-empowering step, which is on brand, IMO. I hope it passes.
Montréal isn’t perfect, and neither is PR, but both are better than many alternatives, IMO.

Canada@lemmy.ca•RDX takes a stake in Maritime Launch Services and will launch from Spaceport Nova Scotia
8·2 months agoI was trying to see what orbits this site would be good for, and found the answer in Wikipedia, which then led to an older SpaceQ article describing it from back when they were considering the site
Seems viable, although niche. In the past, launching companies/nations would look for a small number of launch sites that would cover all the orbits they needed. I wonder if the future is many launch sites each specializing in a few particular orbits. I also wonder what the deltaV efficiency is compared to a more equatorial site.
Also, while I would prefer that this site were being developed by a Canadian company, if they’re respectful to how we do things in Canada and the local community, as far as I’m concerned they’re welcome. Not that my opinion matters in this decision. Good to see a Canadian supplier getting business, though.
Rock and Stone, brother.
Deep Rock Galactic’s great game design has caused it to grow one of the most positive, supportive communities in online gaming, IMO. While problematic players do exist, they are the exception rather than the rule.
An example, hidden if you don't care
I remember in one map we had a new Engineer who didn’t know they could use their platforms to block up holes vertically to prevent bugs from getting to us during swarms. This new player also wasn’t responding to any comms.
One player started pinging where we needed the platforms to go. Then, another player joined in and started pinging an existing platform. Then all three of us were alternately pinging the Engineer, an existing platform, and where we wanted the new platform.
After some time, the Engineer figured it out and started putting up our protective ceiling.
Many "Rock and Stone"s erupted from the team.
Also, a small bonus, if you know you know
WE’RE RICH!
This one hits a little different than it used to…
