@BaratusTV @PirateSoftware 😂 and IF he manage to prove it, then he is just a ”know-it-all” and must be punished 😂

@PirateSoftware Prove that these are your Lions Mane. I demand to see their payslips from the last 17 years and also your own payslips from blizzard and also I need your report card from grade 6 at school.

Lions Mane is coming in nicely.

I'm looking for a ridiculously old-fashioned girl's name for our new born . Think great-grandma name. Very old and rare. Any suggestions asap pls?

Hi, my name is Kevin! Along with @peekabrews and @thehumanthomas we are making a point-and-click adventure game for the NES that's inspired by all our favorites from the 90s! Beyond the Pins 2: The Second Frame, coming soon to NES, MS-DOS (yes, really!), PC and Mac! #nesdev

@mcnabbd @tsoding @Acerola_t Or was your idea better than the others? 😊 maybe they had tons of knowledge about the language itself but didn’t have a good idea for a competition

@tsoding @Acerola_t i entered a programming contest when i was in high school (decades ago). chatting with the others before and felt like an idiot. they all sounded so smart. i took 2nd place. and learned a valuable lesson: most people are full of shit.

You're confusing programming (news) with programming (hobby), there's a million channels from people who make videos on their projects rather than whatever new tool is out this week Just a few off the dome: Sebastian Lague, Tsoding, Kaze Emanuar, Jackie Codes, James Lambert, etc

@Von_Weeden @LASHYBILLS Interesting. In Sweden, the pedestrian has the right-of-way when it comes to zebra crossings. With that said, I would never use it as a shield when walking over.

@LASHYBILLS What is wrong with people? Did they never learn to look both ways before crossing the street? Driver did NOT have a stop sign and had the right-of-way...

A 6-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl are in critical condition after they were struck by an SUV while walking to school.

@_trish_xD I know, pip > uv 😲

i used to roll my eyes whenever senior devs said "just use the standard library." i was wrong. they were right. so much third-party stuff is genuinely unnecessary.

@atonofglaciers Sounds like you will have to ship to Sweden 😅

Just programmed in the ending of Beyond the Pins 2. Some fun facts: Lines of code: 67,862 Graphics files: 43 Number of screens: 103 40kb of dialog alone. That's the entirety of SMB. This game is huge and is easily the best thing we've ever made. Can't wait to share more.

@_trish_xD I do like flet for Python. The downside is that it will have a pretty slow startup time if running it as an executable via pyinstaller. Other than that, it’s amazing

working on a client project: need to build a desktop admin panel. requirements: modern ui, decent performance (not crazy fast), but the deadline is tight. what stack would you choose if the goal is to ship as quickly as possible?

@MrPitbull07 Why did he knee himself on the lips?

A teenager kept kicking the seat of a passenger despite his pleas for him to stop. The man finally reclined his seat back, causing an impact that injured the young man 😳

@James_paul_dev @_trish_xD Who said anything about working as a game dev?

@_trish_xD Not really, usually companies pays less for game devs and they need to do more work as well. Playing a game is different than building one.

game dev is more fun because your code actually moves. you can see the logic, hear the math, and feel the physics.

@TheByteRacoon @Zinny_Edmund I agree 100%. Easier to follow the logic and easier to debug. I don’t know if there is anything worse than these oneliners

After 10 years as a SWE I can assure you it’s the opposite. Junior just want to print the code, the they tend to think that more clever and complicated it is the better. Senior know she/he have to come back to it some day in the future and ten to write it as simple as possible. Just the normal learning path 😎

Which one are you?

@Zinny_Edmund So making the code less readable for everyone and worse to print debug is considered senior, got it 🫡

@lochan_twt I set copilot to ”ask mode” and learn that way instead of google

am i the only dev who uses vs code + chatgpt + gemini + claude and manually copy and paste rather than using some cursor or something ??

@YourWaifu Which of all distros would that be? You know it’s bad when Linux users say ”don’t use distro x, it is trash, use distro y instead”.

I keep saying this. The reason linux doesn’t have a bigger desktop marketshare is because it doesn’t come pre-installed on the computers most people buy. If it did, most people wouldn’t bother to install windows unless they needed to.

@abhitwt A ”hibernate” that does not drain the battery

Give me ONE good reason to buy a Windows laptop apart from gaming.

@cmuratori That was just a few of the isssues that I experienced. Just a constant tinkering to make anything work. Might have to give it another chance on my ThinkPad 🤔

@cmuratori My Linux experience: Ubuntu LTS on Surface Pro. Battery drained in a couple of days in suspend, random freezes forcing restarts when waking up from suspend, weird bugs with the resolution. Feels like everything needs a workaround.

The top critical replies to Coder Girl here were "4 hours fixing audio drivers nobody asked about", "Installing Linux is a mess", and "sure if you don't like to game". I have been a Linux user since SlackWare in the mid 90s. I would have agreed with all three of those up until around a year ago. Here is the reality I have been experiencing now: 1) My livingroom gaming machine is now permanently Bazzite. I installed the default Bazzite distribution from a USB key with no modifications. It can run Steam in deck mode, so I can use it with my (Microsoft!) XBox controller, and I play almost exclusively Windows games on it, which run (shockingly) flawlessly in Proton. I have yet to encounter a single compatibility problem, although I am sure I would if I played competitive shooters since their anticheat kernel drivers are designed to prevent using it anywhere but on unaltered Windows distributions. Anticheat is really the only thing holding Linux back from being an immediate substitute for a Windows gaming machine. 2) My audio workstation is now also Bazzite, since I figured it was easier than maintaining two distros. Default install just worked, no drivers necessary, despite the equivalent Windows install needing both Yamaha and Behringer drivers to be installed manually to function properly. It "just worked" out of the box for audio as compared to the Windows equivalent, and has been rock solid - no drop outs, no crashes. I did not have to touch a single audio configuration option. I just installed Reaper and PianoTeq, and everything worked. 3) The only machine I've found so far that has trouble working out-of-the-box with Linux is a Microsoft Surface tablet. But I still got it to work, it just required me to manually install a kernel patch because support for things like the Surface touchscreen aren't built into Linux distros currently. Once I did install the patch manually, it works perfectly, and even has a touchscreen keyboard just like Windows does. So even Microsoft's own hardware can run Linux just fine, and it would even be turnkey if your Linux distro of choice decided to mainline the Surface driver repo. The bottom line is that people who think Linux is worse than Windows either haven't used it lately, or are not being honest about how bad Windows has become. Windows is circling the drain. Every update, it gets worse. The number of problems I regularly have to solve on our remaining Windows machines dwarf anything I have to do for Linux system maintenance. Windows had a good run, but Microsoft has obviously focused its resources on SaaS and cloud computing. They don't care about Windows anymore, and neither should you. The next decade is about transitioning to Linux everywhere.

@burden_of_hope @cmuratori There are tutorials on YouTube also to get you started 😉

@burkeholland I like doing backend stuff and then ”vibe code” the GUI itself to connect all the buttons and what not to the backend 🤭 ”I don’t have time to learn now, I’ll leave a bunch of AI comments to learn the frontend later”.

Vibe coding is not programming. I don't know what to call it, but it's definitely not programming.

@EhmTEhf @davepl1968 ”There is your problem. You chose Linux…” that is basically what you said. How can an OS be so delicate that even choosing a distro needs a freaking workaround?

there is your problem. You chose Ubuntu. Are you using it for business or is this a personal PC? If its personal, I wouldn't recommend ubuntu. Try Linux Mint which is based on Kubuntu I believe. Its way more stable with everyday apps. Mostly I see Ubuntu being used for business apps.

Say what you will about Windows, but Linux can be a shitty experience too. I've been stuck for 3 hours trying to get through the Ubuntu installer. How hard can it be?
