I encountered this problem mylsef. The way I solved it was to do a scroll container and then do:
func _scroll_to_text_edit(text_edit : TextEdit) -> void:
scroll_container.ensure_control_visible(text_edit)
For the height problem you have to do it inside a _process() so it runs in every frame:
func _process(_delta: float) -> void:
if DisplayServer.has_feature(DisplayServer.FEATURE_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD):
var keyboard_height = DisplayServer.virtual_keyboard_get_height()
if keyboard_height > 0:
self.size.y = get_viewport_rect().size.y - keyboard_height
else:
self.size.y = get_viewport_rect().size.y
You can check my lame implementation here: https://github.com/4Robato/track-your-counters/blob/main/UI/main.gd
It’s been a while and I forgot a bit the details and I can’t take a deeper look now but I hope this helps!


Well it’s open source and self-hostable just like you needed and like discord you can create different rooms for the different topics (or games) so things don’t get mixed.
If that’s too much I only see the option to go in Telegram and create/search for some bots that fill your needs.


There’s matrix which is a decentralized alternative to discord. I haven’t used it myself but I’ve heard good things about it.


Why do you comment something without reading the article? This is a quote from someone explaining what they saw, not the reporter describing her like that.


I use WiVR and works great! I don’t have many VR games honestly but all the ones I’ve played have worked.
There’s also this website: https://db.vronlinux.org/ where you can have an idea though is not always accurate.


People mention WWIII because of them. Hopefully WWIII doesn’t happen despite of them.


I didn’t knew about Bridgy Fed but isn’t that kind of creating a bot and duplicating profiles? I guess is better than nothing but it reminds me a bit of the app Surf which connects the fediverse with youtube and other stuff and while sounds good in practice I wonder if it makes people less willing to switch to the Fediverse because you don’t need to anymore.


Aah I didn’t knew this issue from Lemmy, really interesting. Creating a decentralized platform raises many new challenges that are hard to solve!
Now I get why piefed approaches moderation in a different manner and tries to be more resource friendly.
Thanks for the info! Really interesting stuff :)


Yeah one has to be careful with statistics and I couldn’t find the whole Lemmy in one place so it’s also not representative of the whole Lemmy.
I thought ActivityPub did scale well and was ATProto (Bluesky) which had a lot more issues. I mean I can comment on Peertube using my Mastodon account meaning the whole Fediverse is properly connected and we are 1M MAU so I would say it already scaled good.


I don’t know how to check for the whole lemmy but seems it’s growing a bit but the MAU dropped a bit probably because of august: https://fedidb.com/servers/lemmy.world
But the fediverse in general doesn’t grow too much except when a scandal happens.
I’m waiting too, I actually imported a smaller project I have and the text editor now shows warnings which I love. Can’t wait to convert my main project! Haha
If someone is seeing this later on, I also made the app for desktop linux and windows: https://foreigntreegames.itch.io/track-your-counters
I think is better to mark a random one and keep going. I’m sure a lot of people misremembers things anyway and sending the rest of the info might be more important.


In general if a technology is not comfortable to use people won’t use it. Even if I’m into VR I don’t use it as much as I would if it would be as easy as to put my regular glasses and VR is expensive to justify if you are a non-gamer honestly.
And I also think, at least in Europe, people is more concerned with privacy. I feel a bit bad of having a meta quest now, even if I think it’s the best headset for its price, but meta is constantly abusing us with targeting sales to specific people only, now spying on android users, adding AI profiles to Instagram, etc. And the headset is the only thing I have from them.
Companies need to respect users a looot more if they want us to put those things more frequently honestly.


For some games I have to alt+tab twice to remove that (deselecting and selecting again)


Haha yup not ideal but it’s cool that it has the capabilities. Hopefully in the future this is more polished and useful :)


Both bodies tend to slow down its rotation and the moon is getting further away from us. Without the moon there will be no tides and this might have plenty of consequences but it’s not something we should worry soon, same as with the rotation of the Earth.


Yup indeed!
I think talking openly about the issues to people and explaining there are better ways that exist is the way to go. If they are in with the idea entering the Fediverse is a no brainer.
For me it’s crazy how many public institutions are on private social medias and not open ones where they can set their own server and rules. It’s also crazy how social norms have been decided by the top private companies in the world, if that’s not a distopian I don’t know what is it.
I think he has two channels and maintains only one or something like that. Try to follow this one: https://tilvids.com/video-channels/thelinuxexperiment_channel and hopefully that works better!
