I have had a comment of mine removed from .ml for (correctly) indicating that hexbear is not a trustworthy instance.

That is akin to amputating your leg because you’re tired of stubbing your toes.

This is not remotely helpful.

Dwarf Fortress!

All fair. I haven’t tried either with the Deck, though that’s more because I don’t want to try games from either platform with a controller. I have had success running both on my Linux desktop, though.

This is just my experience, but I have had next to zero issues running games on the Deck that were related to the platform. Most problems I’ve encountered are along the lines of the game being KBM-centric and it being difficult to play with the controller inputs.

The only Linux-specific issues I can’t think of are related to trying to install or mod games outside of Steam (Skyrim in particular is far more difficult to mod on Linux than I expected).

And it’s so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.

I love it lmfao (lost my flannel at Orlando)

Most users of Windows aren’t editing the registry, no matter what problems they encounter.

For power users that do use regedit, I’d argue there’s still a gap between that and using a shell. The registry can be edited entirely with the Windows graphical utility, after all.

If you’re on Linux (or Mac), add an alias to your .bashrc:

alias activate="source env/bin/activate"

Now you can activate your venv by just running activate in the project root!

Seems legit as a concept, though the author is giving weird vibes.

I’m not sure what “globohomo” means but it sounds like a 4chan homophobic term. Additionally the author says they wanted a search engine giving results without “political inclinations”, which reads to me as “reality has a liberal bias and I don’t like that”.

I’ll pass on this for now.

To be fair, my understanding is the “10 is the last version” idea came from a developer speaking in an unofficial capacity and the media ran with it. It may have never been true.

Well, that’s fair. I thought you meant easier to install Linux over an existing Windows 11 install.

I love Linux as much as the next guy, but installing a new OS is not easier than downloading a single program and clicking check boxes. No need to be hyperbolic, Windows is bad enough as it is.

Groovy!

It’s such a joy to use the closure system, whether iterating over a list with each or removing redundant references with tap.

I dabbled with CLisp a while back, and I loved it – but I’m not sure what problems it solves. Do you mind expanding on that?

Holy God, what the fuck?

I mean realistically, the people who enjoyed it back in the day have outgrown it. So “new” content like this skibidi business, which is the same kind of humor as they used to enjoy 10+ years ago, is deeply unappealing.

Hell yeah! Groovy programmer here, mapping closures over lists of objects.

That’s one of the reasons I like Java. It definitely has problems, but it’s been around so long that there are an insane number of libraries to work with. And you can practically guarantee that your project will run on a given computer with minimal fuss.
