@coldwave OK, yes. it *is* body horror. I guess I'm just into that aesthetic.

This is also a help: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/minimal-example-of-gdbus-in-python/3165/2

The object skeleton / interface skeleton stuff is *really* extra and the more straightforward path of registering an "object", which is really just a handler function, isn't pointed out explicitly even in the C examples.

@coldwave horrific because fungi are practically everywhere or because they break things down?

I find scavengers and decomposers to be really reassuring. Fungi, ants, raccoons, even buzzards are taking care of all the biomatter we discard, steadily returning the waste into useful nutrients.

(I also once remarked that "death by cordyceps" was one of my preferred ways to die to class-mates in high school. I still don't quite understand the looks they gave me, but probably I think about these kinds of things differently)

@elilla I can appreciate that last point. I recall reading a doujin with 1 or 2 "TN: [note about japanese culture]" every other page (barely exaggerating). Clearing up untranslatable puns or idioms helps, but turning into a tour guide...I guess it just changes the tone of the work too much for me. Like it's turned into an anthropology text.

Useful resource if you're trying to use d-bus with Python GIO bindings. Docs are scarce about this specifically, so it helps to have an example. (probably less troublesome if you're used to the bindings generally)

@izaya what? isn't that still true for desktop PCs?

@khird That's fine. What bothers me is that I encounter programmers who don't understand how to actually manage resources carefully, or they don't get what a reference is. Besides that we rely on code that was written in C and code that still *is* being written in C, so many tools and patterns of thought come from people dealing with C, that you just have this huge gap in your understanding of the history and current state of computing if you don't know it.

Also, just so no one accuses me of boosting C: I haven't done more edit a few lines of C in years, and I probably wouldn't start a project intending to primarily write C code today. I just think it's valuable to grok what K&R were up to here.

Open research, web conference survey. Please boost.

are they really not teaching students C for systems programming in universities? I get that not everyone learns programming in an academic setting, but I routinely see articles explain pointers and memory management like they're artifacts of an earlier era.

@nikita is this something you've actually seen? I've been buying rice in 10, 15, and 25 lb bags for about two years in the U.S. and haven't gotten any bugs.

@mur2501 come on, @freemo, don't say stuff like that! you'll make your users suspicious. 😄

re the poll, are you also talking to those currently on QOTO or actual potential users?

@lupyuen I'm experiencing some cognitive dissonance here. is the idea that i have a distributed system of web browsers?
