I’ll admit I’m not versed enough as a developer to grasp this so I’ll take your word for it.

… I’mma just build my cross platform programs in Godot and nobody can stop me. >:)

the amount of ire CPU cycles / frames / watts it draws is overboard. Lol

(Trying to be funny not aggressive lol)

For real though, I think it’s just because it epitomizes that “Hardware is fast now so throw sluggishly interpreted high-level code at it and don’t even bother with optimization” mentality.

Like I remember when people would bash Python over this, but Electron apps make that feel way overblown now.

(Also Python did nothing wrong :( lol)

Funny how people barely scraping by with peanut wages is “Well we all have to just suck it up for the sake of the economy.” (Thatcher/Reagan types love to use this ‘take your medicine’ analogy.)

…but burning down a corporate warehouse is also “Oh no. Now those workers can’t work for peanuts. :(”

Almost like the power dynamic here is ridiculously askew and the company never feels the hurt.

At least one direction here has a chance of actually shifting the balance, and that direction surely isn’t

“Clock in day after day, say ‘yes, boss’, and hope for the best.”

Holy crap, granted I haven’t deep researched them or anything but I always thought of REI as the granola-munching fun hiking kids cooperative kind of environment…

…friggin’ branding…bamboozled again.

how much the job sucks and how good your country’s unemployment benefits are

(* Laughs, then ugly-sobs in stars-and-stripes *)

I’ve never seriously used Ubuntu but I’ve always been drawn to its aesthetic and coloring. All those pleasing purples and oranges are like a vibrant hug in color theory LOL. (And the font too!)

Anyway, I really like what you did here! You nailed all that!

I’m not a Blender expert, was just fooling around and though this looked okay-ish, so thought of sharing it here.

This is what made the Internet a good place to begin with. We need more of this exact thing in the world. Thank you for sharing your work with us and I sincerely hope you enjoyed creating it. :D

“Astro” which has no gender, also, no ethnicity, wears several costumes on top of each other AND has no mouth.

Pew pew!!!

OMG if you like that you’ll probably also love Burn My Windows (https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows)

Those effects are ported to Plasma too! You can get 'em through the KDE Store / get new stuff system. :D

(Sad forgotten Endeavour OS noises.)

I hear a lot of love for Fedora.

Even though I happily run OpenSUSE Tumbleweed myself, I have run into the occasional “What the ever-loving heck” issue that I’ve had to stubbornly troubleshoot, and I worry that’d make some people run away crying.

I have a family member with a really old laptop enjoying Mint, but my wife’s and my best buddy’s gaming PCs might be worth giving Fedora a shot on.

Like me, they need those updated Nvidia drivers and Wayland, and honestly most importantly for familiarity + cool-new-thing factor: KDE plasma 6! ;)

It was Oblivion they re-released recently. :)

TIL you can run Longest Journey with SCUMMVM! That’s so cool. I remember the retail release on disc being quite fickle to run properly.

If a search engine can’t crawl it so you could search up posts, like a good ol’ forum, than yep!

Same with any member pages past a login. (Hence why nobody can just ‘google’ your bank account balance lol.)

DemenTIA, from CompTIA. Some of those exam questions really make you wonder. . .

…and I will NOT stand for it!. . . Won’t stand for much, lately. It hurts.

Can’t believe people don’t link sources anymore. Anyway yeah it just happened today.

SO important. They’re always under some kind of attack, and they’re pretty much the most accessible way we have to access a web that keeps disappearing and getting replaced.

… Then you get to file system and the analysis paralysis REALLY sets in.

Here. Let me help: BTRFS with Timeshift or Snapper snapshots. Enjoy. ❤️

I love Debian, I love Void, Ubuntu can die in a fire, etc.

“You’re cool, you’re cool, screw you tho , you’re cool…” XD

Have I been on 10 years? I dunno, but I like to think I’m pretty experienced for an amateur.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed! It rolls! It games! It works with newer hardware and gets along sorta reasonably with Nvidia!

Best part? If any of that ISN’T true (rarely after an update), it seamlessly integrates BTRFS snapshots with the boot menu, to just roll back and wait like a week til the wonderful souls working on it, fix stuff.

The community is also very supportive.
