“we can’t draw pixels anymore without making graphics cards stupidly expensive because of Reasons ™”

Fify

No, but the skills you learn by spending 100% of your spare time fixing all the stuff that gets borked after every update prepares you to take better advantage of the easier distros and be more efficient with them.

At least they’re not chic fil a. Imagine the same scummy business practices except they also apply “Christian values” to everything.

The CIA got 'em

Delaying pc release that fucking long. What consoles are they even trying to force people to buy? Consoles have become kind of a niche thing, now everyone has macbooks and pcs. Nvidia graphics cards have replaced the console pyramid scheme. Will Nvidia even allow them to do this? They develop the game on pc for fuck sake.

If I play the game at all I’m pirating it. There is no acceptable reason to release the pc version 18 months after the console version. Are there even going to BE any consoles out in 2026 that can run the game?

To me, Godot is the only game engine I would ever consider using. Unity is bad because you never know what shitty stuff they’ll do next. Unreal probably doesn’t work on Linux and unreal script sounds like a terrible idea. If I had to figure out all those extremely difficult math problems like angular velocities, quaternion math, rotation matrices and shit in an obscure programming language, I would stop to rethink my life choices. It’s already hard enough doing this in more widely used established languages even with decades of stackoverflow posts available.

Besides Godot, you can always make your own. Use a graphics library like orge or Irrlicht, a physics engine (reactphysics3d for example), something for sound like openAL and once you get them all glued together, you have a game engine.

Community college is a joke. So are all the other types. Most of the stuff they make you do only serves to waste your time and get you used to working long hours on stupid bullshit. That’s what employers want them to do. Non-community colleges are like that but worse. In my experience, at community colleges only around 1 in 4 classes is impossible without cheating or being a hyper intelligent academic athlete (but of those 1 in 4 classes, they don’t always have very strong anti cheating defenses). At normal colleges its usually even more unfair and unreasonable than that. I’d say only 25% to 50% of them were “unreasonably difficult” except they were extra strategic about it. They’d make it so classes with high fail rates were only taught by the same professor and no one else ever so there was no way you’d ever get around one you couldn’t pass at first.

I’m on lemmynsfw because I like to argue about how shitty society is between wanks

Lots of coffee in the morning and thc at night is the only way for me. I walked away from actual medication years ago because I couldn’t afford it anymore.

This makes installing Skyrim mods harder because mods often contain differing versions of folder names. For example one mod might be “Scripts” and the other might be “scripts”. This means you can’t have Skyrim mods on Linux if you’re allergic to copying files manually as this will generally make mod managers not work as well. People on forums like nexus often have a hard time even grasping the concept of not using a mod manager so it’s hard to get help of any kind.

That’s why you connect an arduino to the motherboards reset pin and load it with a program where it resets the system if it doesn’t receive an ACK signal over the usb connection every 10 minutes.

Eventually though the networking and apache stops working after around 150 days so you also have to make a script that resets the system after 30 minutes of not having network.

One of the few things they’re good at is academic “cheating”. I’m not a fan of how the education industry has become a massive pyramid scheme intended to force as many people into debt as possible, so I see ai as the lesser evil and a way to fight back.

Obviously no one is using ai to successfully do graduate research or anything, I’m just talking about how they take boring easy subjects and load you up with pointless homework and assignments so waste your time rather than learn anything. My homework is obviously ai generated and there’s a lot of it. I’m using every resource available to get by.

Has anyone tried just moving to the bigger screen? It’s easy to doomscroll on a phone but when I have an entire KDE desktop in front of me, it just doesn’t hit the same. Try browsing lemmy on your pc instead of phone. It feels nostalgic. Like 2000s forums where you’d post a computer question and everyone would call you gay. Now instead of gay being a bad thing there’s femboys and it’s amazing because all the nsfw content is better now.

I think usually it’s just about costing the competitors money to try and fuck them. That’s the payment. 3ds max is priced unfairly and it’s unreasonable, that’s why Blender exists. Autodesk bought eagle cad, made it cost money, that’s why KiCad got made. I take pride in supporting open source everything in protest of how enshittified the world has become. It harms those corporations when more people use open source which is a cause I can get behind.

I don’t have time for my system to be getting borked once a week. That’s why I use Debian. My system getting borked once every 2 years isn’t that bad.

Ai is excellent at completing low effort ai generated Pearson programming homework while I spend all the time I saved on real projects that actually matter. My hugging face model is probably trained on the same dataset as their bot. It gets it correct about half the time and another 25% of the time, I just have to change a few numbers or brackets around. It takes me longer to read the instructions than it takes the ai bot to spit out the correct answer.

None of it is “good” code but it enables me to have time to write good code somewhere else.

And corporations can now afford to be as picky as they want. Fucking great. I hope something bad enough happens that they can’t find employees so they become desperate again otherwise I may never get to use my degree.

Thanks, I always keep forgetting what this ones called. I use a build of gitea from before it became shit but I keep telling myself I need to change to “that better one”.
