I think it is absolutely fine. Most of the time the communities are on a .ml instance, or modded by the worst people imaginable.

Make many communities and let the inferior ones die. This is good for Lemmy. Just don’t copy the same posts to your community, as it’ll fill the front page with duplicates, which is detrimental to Lemmy.

A laptop running linux mint.

I would probably argue the opposite. What is the purpose of a community where no actual discussions are had, and people just look at and upvote memes?

Maybe he would prefer perforce.

Surely we all write unit tests and debug from there, right?

… Right?

“Help me stepbrotherboard, my circuits are stuck under the chassi.”

I’m sorry, I’d share some links, but I make too many shitposts and unhinged takes on this account to want to link to my projects and thus my real name.

But I would argue that most at least somewhat successful indie games (at least on PC) have very few dark patterns.

Back in uni, most of these dark patterns were taught as “game design fundamentals”.

Now as I work on my indie games, I avoid using what I learned in uni.

Game design all boils down to “is it fun?” and anything else is bullshit sales tactics.

I wish the site also focused on real games, and not just mobile games.

Linux mint doesn’t require the terminal for almost anything. If it is required anywhere, there will be step-by-step instructions, but even then there is likely a better solution specifically for linux mint that doesn’t require the terminal.

Use the software manager and update manager and you’re set. Don’t install applications from the terminal, it will be easier to let the manager applications keep track of it all.

For super advanced stuff, sure, you might want the terminal, but you don’t need these things. If anything, it will be a good opportunity to learn.

Get a USB, put linux mint on it and boot from it just to try out. It can run without being installed on your computer.

“Call me” is definitely what it used to mean in the 90s

Well, it is the second best option after burning google to the ground.

I don’t know, we’ve had small communities grow gigantic overnight after a larger one collapsed. Lemmy being one example. I think once something like that happens, more developers and users will flood librewolf.

Wanting privacy is no longer niche. People just don’t know where to go.

If Mozilla goes under, the main funders (except google) will start funding the librewolf team instead, and they’ll have more than enough resources to maintain the browser since librewolf devs don’t spend 99% of their funding on other garbage unlike Mozilla. Maybe it is about time we hand over the browser to more capable people.

At least docblocking a summary above every method is always good. You can automatically generate documentation this way.

Element seems to have voice and video chats in beta right now, and they plan to implement it into the Element application, so it looks like it is on the way at least.

Why not just use Matrix? I thought it was the goto FOSS and decentralized Discord alternative.

It is probably something stupid like Nintendo having a patent for “pocket” in names, since Pokemon is “pocket monsters”

Patents in videogames should be banned.

Yeah, a name should describe what it is or does, so if you have two turtles, and let’s say turtle1 wants to shit on turtle2’s lawn, you could name them shittingTurtle and victimTurtle. If the name alone tells you what its purpose is, that saves a lot of time for people looking at your code.

Is_Turtle is not a bad variable name because it tells you it is a Boolean with “is” and that the Boolean tells you whether something is a turtle or not.

Also, depending on the language, I suggest either camelCase or snake_case naming of variables. PascalCase is usually for defining classes or in case of C#, methods.

I blame that one Dev who said people who don’t like the game are a bunch of talentless freaks.

Studios killing their own industry: “we did it, boys!”
