Happy paying customer here, it's great to see the innovations they're making and their interactions with the community.

What's the best Linux alternative to Windows for gaming in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Another recommendation for Linux Mint here. I've bounced between Manjaro, Ubuntu, Fedora, and I've found Linux Mint to just be fantastic for beginners, in that everything just works, and it does a great job of guiding the user through installation, updating drivers, updating packages (including choosing an appropriate package mirror), and setting up backups.

It's just really nice all around; the only thing I could complain about is lack of touchpad gesture support, but that's probably not an issue for desktop PC usage.

What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs? (beehaw.org)
 

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else...

What are some fun projects I can use to teach myself Rust? in c/[email protected]
[Possible spoilers] For those who played Outer Wilds, what was your favourite part of the game or your most "Ha-Ha!" discovery ? in c/[email protected]

spoilerIt's a shocking revelation when you discover the sun station doesn't even do anything, when up to that point you might think to yourself that it's the sun station that causes the supernova.

How do y'all deal with music playlists? (beehaw.org)
 

I love having full control over my music files, but one of the major pain points is moving between applications. Say I start using plex, get real comfy with my playlists, then one day I decide to try out Jellyfin. Sure, I still have all my music on there, but none of my playlists.

Is there some sorta solution I'm not aware of that allows for migration of playlists across platforms / applications?

As an amateur writer, how do you figure out your endings? (beehaw.org)
 

Like many, I find I can come up with cool setting ideas and various characters, but one thing I struggle with is figuring out how to wrap everything up.

What's your process of nicely crafting the middle of your narrative and flowing it naturally into a satisfying ending?

Any of you keeping up to date with modern web dev? (beehaw.org)
 

I've been dipping my toes into NextJS, Vercel, PlanetScale, and other serverless / edge providers, and there's so many terms / concepts thrown my way that I feel overwhelmed a lot of the time.

I mean, I'm already a web developer well versed with React, and I love my SPA setup with Vite, so for others outside the web dev space, this must be a nightmare to keep up with.

Was curious to hear your thoughts on the rapidly evolving space of web dev.

You still on vanilla, or have you started diving into Greg’s mods?

What browser / extensions do you make use of? (beehaw.org)
 

For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.

How'd you get into programming? (beehaw.org)
 

Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked.

I eventually found Minecraft (like every kid back in the day did), and learnt Java to make Bukkit server mods.

Around 2016 I thought websites were kinda cool, so I started learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I've been in the web dev space ever since.

What about the rest of y'all? What's your personal programming path?

Awesome. Love the site, and I'm glad to see Lemmy getting some more recognition; always seemed like Lemmy was missing in Fediverse discussions
