I went with a stack pattern and priorities.

Within a priority the last “layer” to activate is the only one to receive inputs. The priority system just means that if a layer from a lower priority gets activated, it doesn’t take over until the upper layer is empty.

It’s a bit stricter (only one layer active at all times), but you can always subscribe to inputs from multiple layers to achieve what you were describing.

The main advantage here was that you can safely rely on enabling/disabling layers without ever getting a conflict… If some popup comes in over your menu, the popup is in charge until it’s closed. No need for them to communicate, and you reliably know that inputs will eventually return to the menu properly, even if something else gets interposed.

And since it’s tacked onto the existing system, you can always have parts of the code that ignore the layer system entirely if necessary (like a mute button that has to work across all systems/menus for example).

Not sure if I’ll ever get around to adapting the concept to Godot, but I’d be happy if anyone comes around and takes the core logic that’s there and adapts it ;)

Thanks!!

TBH, I’m probably going to switch over to Godot at some point myself as well.

As a French person… Nobody gets turkey. Capon, yes, though it’s become too expensive so most people go for chicken.

Yeah, no worries. Someone else pointed it out to me recently.

I feel there’s a place for both of these. This is lightweight and focused on updates, whereas UniGet is a full-fratured app. Both have their benefits IMHO.

Ah, interesting. I’ll look into that at some point.

How though?

Everything I see online indicates that to have chocolatey handle an app it needs to be installed BY chocolatey; and that the “fix” is to uninstall and reinstall.

Winget can handle apps installed via other sources, including things like all the Visual C++ Redistributable packages and stuff I had previously installed using an installer.

It may not seem like much, but it’s a massive advantage for managing multiple computers in my family.

At this point, things like O&O ShutUp10++ and how Microsoft have left a ton of overrides for their horrible advertising/tracking/ai crap in for businesses to use in large scale deployments means you can actually get a really decent experience in Windows 11… It’s just not accessible to most people.

I recently installed Everything Search and, Command Palette plugin someone made for it, and this little gem to fix my last remaining gripe with it: the lack of a good search feature.

Yeah. It’s kind of surprising how many actually good things people at Microsoft have put out there that are just not advertised at all (cough… Power Toys… cough).

Arguably, it’s at least in large part the efforts of socialists, communists, and radical feminists that made some of these possible. But decades of vilification in the USA have made them virtually invisible to the general population.

The one thing is lacks is the grounded ness and realism of Bob’s Burgers.

I mean, trying to fix what happens to the hotel in even a quarter of an episode would ruine the family instantly… and that’s before any taxes.

One of the best things about Bob’s Burgers is specifically how relatable and credible the events are.

Have you hard of our lord and savior, the metric system?

SciFi

Devs — probably one of the best series I’ve watched. I like to compare it to some of the best early Black Mirror episodes, but a single story over the course of one whole season.

Comedy/Drama

You’re the Worst — this is a weird one: the characters are really caustic, and it’s used for laughs; but the series is incredibly good at taking the subject seriously, and builds to something great. Crazy Ex Girlfriend does that too, but it got too hard to watch for me (some of it hit close to home).

“Thriller”

Utopia (the UK version) – one of the best series I’ve watched, ever. I won’t go too deep into what it’s about; but it’s 100% worth it. Just DO NOT watch the US remake.

Killing Eve — just watch it; it’s amazing.

Very specific examples I have personally witnessed would include:

• People getting angry/irritated when they see young people exiting a car parked on a disabled spot without any obvious impairment or disability.
• People in public spaces (museums, tourist spots, etc.) taking it for granted that if they just saw you climb a few steps, that means you are necessarily able to climb 50 steps without any issues.
• When someone asks if there is a place to sit in a public building/area, staff/officials will often just answer “no, sorry” without considering that the person may actually really need to sit, even if they don’t have a cane or something similar (in which case, they are often much more accommodating)

These are anecdotal, and specific to people I know and their disabilities, but I feel they illustrate how it’s always good to just take a second to think about this sort of thing. It’s also usually a good idea to just ask, instead of assuming.

It’s estimated that around 80% of disabilities are invisible. Also, many disabilities are intermittent or contextual.

It’s always good to keep this in mind when you interact with people you don’t know, regardless of what they seem to be able or unable to do.
