Ha. Lol. That’s bad
Context: this happens if you use
patch(1) with patches generated bygit format-patch. If you do, you should be usinggit aminstead.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your preferred Android Launcher in 2026?
1·1 month agoLawndesk. Its not on play store, you have to download apk from github, but it does not have a drawer.
Every app is on the desktop, i organise them into folders and have a single home page with all the apps.

Show & Tell@programming.dev•Dead Simple CI - looking for beta testers
1·1 month agoIf i wanted to run ‘cargo build’ for example, cargo & rustc are build-time dependencies. If the task does not specify which env it is using, I cannot assume I’m able to use apt or dnf or pacman or nix.
Let’s say, i’d want to run
just testin this repo: https://codeberg.org/lutra/lutra/ How do I install just, cargo-insta & python version 3.14?

Programming@programming.dev•Tools built on tree-sitter's concrete syntax trees
2·1 month agoYes. Highlighting, these selection actions and symbol detection all work with tree-sitter grammars. The whole premise of the editor is a modern-modal-editing with tree-sitter grammars.

Programming@programming.dev•Tools built on tree-sitter's concrete syntax trees
2·1 month agoI’m a bit surprised helix editor is not mentioned. It is based on tree-sitter grammars and allows for stuff like select-around-function or select-around-argument, to use grammar in the code navigation. Pretty wild and useful.

Show & Tell@programming.dev•Dead Simple CI - looking for beta testers
0·1 month agoThis is dead simple, but it still feels like magic.
What is this python function
run_task? Where is it imported from? In what environment is the CI executed? How do I install my build-time dependencies?
Hmm, i tried to make a joke about thanking both parent posters, which makes them a plural noun, which makes thou wrong as it is only used for singular.
But i guess i was wrong in an orthogonal dimension as well.
Ok, i’m on board. Thank thou two
Yeah, but I think it is speaking in first person, about itself. So it should be “I saw” and “I think”, regardless of its pronouns in third person.
Yea, but socket is not a file. Maybe if you stretch the definition.
Well in any case, when people say that linux is great because everything is a file, they either mean that:
- they can edit configuration of most things with a text editor, or that
- in bash (and other shells) it is easy to work with byte streams, piping them from one process to another and compose complex behaviour from simple commands.
It could be a process, which you can talk to only via an IPC call. For example, dbus
You are either a crazy nutjob or a genius thinker. Interesting idea









Let’s say I manage an engineering department. How could I promote people who build simple software?
