aweehh !! I have work!! and I love so much to slave away for my corporate slave masters !! bullshit.

it sure is convenient to have an excuse to let your country fall

well… what do you browse ? all has like 2 hours worth of content for me a day at best

The whole arch advantage (imo) is that you have a full understanding of what’s in your machine and how it works.

As a beginner you won’t understand and that’s okay, but you should try different things (or don’t and just focus on what works for you) as long as the end result is you doing: pacman -Qe and going “hmm that makes sense”, and imo the undesired result is going “hmm what do these all do, why do I have 2000+ packages”

Very hard for me to not hate all Americans today.

I love my fiio but it’s very rough around the edges, this might be a weird tale but I love that it doesn’t have speakers and I can’t accidentally blast my very unique taste in music in public

God I love breakfast, although I’ve been fasting until noon so I don’t have breakfast during breakfast anymore 🤔

I love C and C++ and I talk to someone else who does (comp sci grad) but he’s hugely biased against rust and says shit like “rust is cringe it has training wheels, just be good at C”

it’s like a weird tech anti-intellectualism

isn’t there a mint version with plasma?

my unsolicited 2c is to checkout mint

that’s IIS as well, I think it’s because we had our severs configured in a reverse proxy and hitting IIS and failing before the http serverhad returned a response caused the 502 error, completely useless error.

(not very experienced with server configs so forgive me if the language isn’t 100%)

that’s everyday with the legacy web app at work, it crunches up code in a templating process and all the errors become either completely meaningless or just “error 500”

well, no. everything is a god damn web app because everything runs browsers.

so why write native (device) applications if the device can run a browser ? just write code for the browser, which also runs on desktop. now you have a cross platform app without needing 5 different teams

Yep, I was shocked to see that there is no defacto 1st party framework and during my time searching online I found lots of “use x, use y, no y is dead and none uses it, no x is terrible” which is how I found Avalonia.

I still don’t think there’s a solid Windows gui framework, but I haven’t looked in years.

pretty much every windows GUI framework is trash or a pain in the ass to deal with except for Avalonia (my beloved), but it’s more cross platform.

I’m not sure if this is 100% real but it very well could be. although imo makes me think of skill issue (not because the system makes sense, but these problems don’t really seem like problems to me, just minor set backs)

it didn’t happen, or it did. it shouldn’t happen or it should have. whatever trump’s base thinks the most convenient thing to say, they’ll say it. and anything else is fake news.

le false equivalence totally validates my endorsement for the worst president elected in US history

I’ve been playing guitar for 14 years and its not u til the 4th or 5th that I started feeling competent, I played about 4-8 hours a day as a teenager.

Music is hard, you’re not going to play 1 day and wake up with newfound skill the next day.

if you keep having fun and playing frequently you will wake up one day to realize you’ve been playing for 14 years like me 🤔

I can tell you how I learned linux. be prepared to cringe.

1. I installed Linux before going to school, I figured that if I used Linux as my main OS I would be less tempted to dick around and play games

2. I eventually found a coop part time job as a dev. I used my own Linux machine, and being the star eyed young person I was I used arch.

this is the cringe part:

3. I did dev work on arch Linux without fully understanding how it works and ran into multiple issues (none of which was because of arch). for instance my USB wifi driver was the dogshit broadcom ones so the “drivers” for it were kind of messed and I had to hack several things into get it to work.

I learned systemd, Linux kernel modules, dkpg, obviously more familiarity with bash and shell stuff

4. I ran into issues with grub because FUCK grub. so I had to learn about boot loaders, fixing your install with chroot on a live usb, I also wrote step by step guides to untuck my particular problem just in case I run into it again

so moral of the story is… dive in?

I hate apps with a passion, desktop version is almost always better unless it’s a shit website like tiktok or “x”.

YouTube desktop has always been better than mobile for instance.

there’s nothing about Linux itself that makes the steam game not work. it’s up to he developer to release a binary that supports Linux, most devs who are using tools like unity or unreal probably have the highest realistic chance of making a clean Linux executable

but the way proton works is to use the compiled binary for windows in a way to make it compatible for Linux
