Hey Leute, ich brauch eure Ideen! Mein Jüngster (13) probiert gerade #Programmieren aus, einfach um zu sehen ob das was für ihn ist. Am liebsten will er natürlich #Spiele programmieren. Ich habe ihm Coddy gezeigt, weil ich weiß dass das Spaß macht, und er hat sich spontan für #Python entschieden. Coddy macht ihn Spaß, Khan Academy ist eher etwas trocken, mehr fällt mir zu Python gerade nicht ein!

@icing I'm pretty much in the same boat on that topic. Sounds nice to have a complete list of deps but even when they're correct most "real world" project lists would be huge.
However most build tooling can generate them for free.

Seems to be a problem with the libxml2 port since libxml2-2.14.4. I was able to install libxml2-2.11.9 from a cached .pkg and now pg_upgrade works.

So I try to upgrade a postgres server from 16 to 17 on #FreeBSD following the instructions in the port (create a tmp dir with the pg16 binaries, then install pg17 and use pg_upgrade to migrate the database). But when I try to use pg_upgrade, it complains that it can't find libxml2.so.2. Latest libxml2 is installed and this method worked about half year ago when upgrading from pg15 to pg16. Anyone else getting this error and has an idea what to do? 
Show threaddwardoric6d ago
@bodems The failsafe way is always pg_dumpall before upgrading the port and afterwards pg_restore into the new one.
Involves more downtime but never failed me in decades.

While this cartoon is probably referencing a particular activist group in the UK, it tends to hold true for others, protesting different issues non violently around the world.
Show threadJeri DanskyJul 7
@ExtinctionR An image search shows this cartoon is about a year old (at least), so it may not reference the group you've got in mind.

@jeridansky @ExtinctionR sadly its still relevant and always will be.

@ExtinctionR Textually ok, but the dressing up of the people is not necessarily correct. It could as well be the other way around.

@PeterMotte @ExtinctionR what are you talking about
Show threadPeter MotteJul 7
@noodlemaz @ExtinctionR I mean that it gives the impression that a certain type of people is on the "good side" and another one on the "bad side", whereas in reality it's much more mixed.
Show threadNoodlemazJul 7

@PeterMotte @ExtinctionR yes, one type is people protesting injustice and the other is people (often men in suits as this looks like the Westminster area where our politicians often are, and they are often white men in suits) who bizarrely equate the protesters with the people enacting injustice.

It doesn't say ALL PROTESTERS are kindly little women. It doesn't say ALL the people disparaging them are white men in suits.
It is a common scenario.

Show threadPeter MotteJul 7
@noodlemaz @ExtinctionR Well, it doesn't say it literally, but you often find that kind of prejudices in cartoons. There are quite a lot of decent people doing jobs in suits carrying briefcases who would protest against all kinds of injustice. And the other way round. Look at the mob defending the orange T. At first glance, before they say anything or hold up a board with a slogan, you might put them with the "normal" people who protest agains sth, but you would be completely wrong. They protest, yes, but for other reasons.
The portrail of the two groups is some kind of prejudice which goes back ages.
Show threadNoodlemazJul 7
@PeterMotte @ExtinctionR this is not prejudice. It's describing a common situation. Satire, that's what it does.
Yes there are suits who protest. That isn't the point.
You wilfully miss it and cry prejudice where there is none. You have more in common with the cartoon suits here.

@noodlemaz @ExtinctionR My point is that in cartoons you very often see it depicted that way.

Having read some of the other comments, I’d like to add that the drawing completely misses the point, as a comma is missing after “please”.
Show threadNoodlemazJul 7
@ilsk @ExtinctionR is this meant to be a joke? It's a bad one. You don't need a comma on this sign, it's not a formal letter.
Show threadNilskJul 7
@noodlemaz @ExtinctionR
I refuse to take your comment into account. There should have been a semicolon between “sign” and “it’s”.
