I checked and apparently it was there before, there’s actually an interesting story behind it:
So, the first time it was built (by Ibrahim or Abraham) it was much more rectangular. You see the small white wall at its side? That part was included in the Kaabah. Also it was about half as tall as it is now and the door was lower to the ground (like real doors) .
Then after many centuries, there was a flood (since Makkah is a valley). In the same time frame, there was a fire. Both of these and its age caused the structure of the Kaabah to be worn out. So, the people of Makkah, the Quraish tribe, decided to rebuild the foundations.
At this time, coincidentally, there was a shipwreck of a vessel at the nearby port city of Jeddah carrying a lot of building materials and engineers to build a church in Yemen. So, all the materials was being sold to the highest bidder and the engineers were willing to work (to get enough money to go back presumably).
The Quraish pooled their money and bought all the things they could collectively afford. They realized that there wasn’t enough material to cover all of the old foundation. So, they decided to make the design shorter and build a small wall to mark the rest of it in hopes that in the future they could build the rest of it when they got enough money and materials. They also built the door higher up perhaps to prevent floodwater from reaching it or to restrict access to the inside.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•is this snoring? what type of snoring would you describe it as?

Doubling down on Reaper: I’ve tried other DAWs before, but none of them ever felt as natural to me as Reaper. I wouldn’t recommend the Flatpak version, though—I could never get it to work with plugins, although that might just be me. On Linux, you can simply download the install script from the website, which makes installing and uninstalling Reaper just as easy.
There is audio
Look at the different relative angles between mouth and eyes in each picture. In the real image the angle of the eyes is very similar to the angle of the mouth and therefore the distance between the left eye and left side of mouth is bigger creating a more “shocked” looking expression, like you described it as “Are you seeing this shit?”. While in the drawn image the mouth is more angled therefore the smiling is more pronounced.

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaroundEnglish
5·6 months agoI read that. But the way the article is written suggests that the workaround they’re implying is to buy YouTube premium. I am not per se against YT premium, after all its normal business to take money and serve a product, but what my biggest cons are
- The price
- I already use all of the mentioned premium features and more but for free
For example: YT music -> ReVanced (background play, no ads) YT App -> ReVanced (no ads, Sponsorblock, no shorts) YT on browser -> Extensions (uBlock, Sponsorblock, block yt shorts)
If I were to pay for premium and use the regular app, I would lose that functionality and 130€ per year. This money would support a company whose business model involves extensive collection of personal data, which is then sold to third parties, effectively contributing to the global surveillance infrastructure.
I would rather not use YouTube than pay for it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm putting my tin foil hat on and want to join the world of Linux, however I make music in Ableton. Do I just need to dual boot or does anyone have a better solution?
211·8 months agoI can greatly recommend Reaper to you, in case Ableton + Wine doesn’t work out.
I only recently got into music making as a hobby so my overall perspective might be limited, but other DAWs I tried included:
- Ardour
- Bitwig
- LMMS
- Zrythm
I settled with Reaper bc of it’s customizability, freedom in workflow and cheap price without compromising in pro features. It’s actually completely free as long as you are evaluating buying it, which is up to you for how long. And the customizability is off the charts compared to any other DAW.
But what really sold Reaper to me was the lack of hurdles that got into my way of learning to make music.
Have fun

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•I was told this place was about programming humors

IMO
Equality in rust is value equality per default, that’s what these traits are for. If you want to check pointer equality you’d use the
std::ptr::eqfunction to check if two pointers are equal, which is rather rare in practice. You can also implement thePartialEqtrait yourself if you need custom equality checks.


You sure it’s an o before the p? Could also be the right half of a p.
