Problem is buying a car most of the different brands are quite different, there are so many distros that are just Ubuntu underneath that are basically identical with a different desktop

Those are decisions about things everyone already understands, choosing a distro for a new user is like deciding what your favourite photo is from a blurry, black and white album

This is more just that it's customisable, doesn't look like anything except a terminal until you put a desktop environment on it

(more or less all the options look better than windows but I think the reason for that is they're options and people tend to choose the one they like the look of)

My experience is generally it doesn't just work straight away unless it's something I've hammered out myself

I am also using one of the more DIY distros and window managers though, so I wouldn't expect it to without some attention from me to get it hammered out first

That said, once it's hammered out it continues to work exactly the way I want it to, it doesn't spy on me, it doesn't shove ads down my throat every 5 minutes

Would be an interesting experiment to see how non techy windows/mac users would get on if you just put stock mint/pantheon on their systems but I get the feeling it would not be as smooth as if they just had the thing everyone knows all the flaws of already

My old projects still have camelCase sprinkled around, you can tell which bits are new and old depending on whether it's camel or kebab

Have been defaulting to kebab case for variable and function names in all languages recently because of cargo yelling at me

Pascal case for class names cause c#, snake case for python files because it doesn't like kebab

Screaming case for env files because that's what everybody else does

It is kinda surprising how much obvious propaganda makes it onto Lemmy, for example those memes that aren't really memes as much as "haha this opinion wrong"

That's pretty much how the internet already works my guy

Pi 5 can run windows?

I'm running an all the mods 6 Minecraft server on my pi 5 with zero lag

No idea how video performance is but it's got a dedicated GPU so supposedly better.

Booting from an NVME, official heat sink/fan and proper power supply

Made the mistake of using react for a mobile app and my god why is it this convoluted, why are the error messages always along the lines of "something went wrong with networking 🤷"

Unfortunately I'm stuck with it now

I had thought spice was supposed to be really good for VMs, it's it just over hyped?

 

I have been experimenting with react native as I heard it's one of the good ones, and so far it is not a particularly enjoyable experience. Lots of irritating things like no global styling, lots of ugly, hard to read properties on tags, etc

In a perfect world where you get to choose, which frontend frameworks would you use and why?

 

Apologies if this doesn't fit here, not sure where else to post something like this on lemmy

I think having gravity act like weather might be an interesting concept for a fantasy world, where each country has its own gravity patterns, some tend to be heavier some tend to be lighter, some are all over the place

For a few examples, there could be a desert with gravity so high you can get dragged down into the sand

Could be a country with gravity so low everyone uses personal aircraft that work like bicycles instead of land vehicles

Animals in higher gravity areas would have less dense bones, more muscle, etc and lower gravity would have far larger animals because they can support more weight

In a really high gravity area people might need exoskeletons to prevent long term damage

 

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

 

Just occurred to me that there might not be one

Saiyan saga has kaioken which isn't technically a form but may as well be Frieza saga has super Saiyan, cell saga has super Saiyan grades and super Saiyan 2, buu has super Saiyan 3, bog has god, then blue, blue evolved and ui

Am I missing one?

 

I bought a cheapo capture card a while back but the quality is pretty terrible

Is there any reason PCs can't just receive HDMI/displayport input from other devices through the same mechanism they output it?

For that matter also is there any reason HDMI can't be run over Ethernet? Afaik ethernet has far more bandwitth than hdmi nowadays

Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after

Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

 

Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don't allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can't properly setup adguard.

What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

 

Microsoft are looking at putting datacenters under the ocean, which sounds like a really good idea to cool them but I can’t help but think a couple decades from now it’s going to start causing us problems

Used to use reWASD and sometimes AutoHotkey on windows, but neither of these have linux support. Googling returns a couple of solutions but they're for x11.

I'm considering just giving up and writing macros in python, but that makes it a great deal more difficult to make quick and dirty scripts

 

Used to love playing cod zombies with my brother when I was younger, thinking of picking it up again

What's the best version for the zombies mode and why?

 

Server costs for large instances are a thing, and I think it's a good idea to have an incentive for people to keep hosting them

Can leave it up to each instance how they want to monetise. A lot of instances have donations setup already, could get a "premium" account to help the upkeep of the instance you're on and get rid of the ads

Also if people really hate them adblock exists
