Absolutely awful shit and I would be ashamed for decades if I acted like this to another person.

Really shows the worst of him here. It’s rare that he becomes this toxic and humiliating.

Fair and balanced in the same way as Fox News. :)

Usually not more then 30 before I close most of them with “Close all tabs to the right”.

I have browsing history so don’t need tabs.

I’m sick but I will do it when I recover. Need to get started with exercise again.

She looks much better than average so I don’t know…

You call us people, that’s nice.

Nobody likes pc gamer anymore?

A true shit post.

That was the thing about old games, they weren’t worried about being difficult sometimes. Gamers were happy to get a challenge.

Yeah I was never into arcade games as a kid. I realized right away that they were made to be difficult for that reason, so it felt like they were not worth it.

But games at home, at my commodore 64 or Amiga, were often difficult too. There was often no tutorials even. You just started playing and figured things out. I remember feeling like I had all the time in the world back then. As an adult, I often feel my time is limited and I should be doing something useful with it.

Yeah the best manual I ever read was for en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunship_(video_game), it was amazing. A thick manual explaining so much about the military helicopter and how it worked. Was thrilling to read as a kid.

I don’t remember the graphics being so bad though…:) But it’s pretty shit by today’s standards.

I think this was on Commodore 64 actually :)

I mean, 0.19 is not even out officially yet I believe. Instances are still on release candidate versions. And just a few days ago, they said they would install it on Lemmy.ml to test it out in a proper environment.

It’s possible that app developers may not be able to drop everything in the last 48 hours to make their app work with a prerelease version. :)

1984, 7 months ago

Oh OK. Yes it’s on every app developers roadmap. :)

1984, 7 months ago (edited 6 months ago)

Yeah but they wanted to run it in production to make sure there aren’t weird bugs that only shows in production I guess.

Stuff like complex federation bugs occurring during certain conditions, things that are hard to see in a test environment.

This version is only on Lemmy.ml now so doesn’t really affect most of us… :)

FreeTube.

1984, 7 months ago

It’s on Lemmy 0.19 now so getting closer to new version for everyone. :)

Neovim is better in many ways, and because it has lua support, it’s so much easier to write plugins for it. So there are thousands of plugins right now, and entire neovim distributions that are configured to work like an IDE, like Lazyvim for example.

www.lazyvim.org

I’m a huge fan and I have written plugins myself since it’s easy and rewarding.

But on the server, I don’t bother installing neovim. Ordinary vim is fine for simple editing tasks. But if you want a customized experience to replace VS Code on your computer, you want neovim and not vim.

Good thing there are hundreds of other instances. This a solved problem with Lemmy.

No need to even complain about it. You have choice here.

The largest instances are going to be like reddit, yes.

1984, 7 months ago

Sounds weird, I get 1080p on FreeTube app and that’s just a browser underneath.

1984, 7 months ago

Oh, thanks.

The list is generally correct but these days, systemd has made quite an impact also. If a distribution uses systemd, it has one software to handle everything from booting (instead of grub), handling start and status of all system services etc. Its probably the largest change to the Linux ecosystem in a long time.

X11 and Wayland are desktop protocols, so things like desktop environments and window managers depends on one or them to be installed. Without them, you don’t get any graphics except for the console. It’s all built on top of one of those.

It’s a nice journey, and you can also start to look into proxmox for self hosting things. It really feels amazing to have your own little lab of stuff rather than using the public web for all services.

1984, 7 months ago

Not mental enough.
