I’m not really the correct person to answer this, since I’m not struggling to the same degree as you are.

However I once heard a good tip on how to save money. Most people, when they receive their salary spent it first on the necessities (food, rent, etc) and then save the remainder (if anything is left). But instead you should first save a percentage of your pay before spending on any necessities. That way, your brain will try to make the best use the remaining money to survive the best it can

I don’t really mind nor care when someone is wrong about something as long as they’re not bothering/affecting other people.

For example:

Someone believes that flat earth is real. Fine, whatever, you’re not really going to cause any harm with this.

On the other hand, during the pandemic, when people refused to wear masks/take vaccines. Then it becomes a problem because they’re affecting other people (potentially putting them at risk)

Anything on the web that is accessible by you is accessible by web scrapers. So to answer your question, yes.

Unless Lemmy goes down the route of Twitter (I refuse to call it by its new name, it’s dumb) of blocking access unless you login. That’s just how things are.

Agreed.

I once worked on a team in a company who had to ssh into a server and do all the development work on that server. So all we could use was either vim or emacs. I had my vim decked out with all the plugins and customizations, and it was fine.

But after you get back to using an IDE (especially an IDE with a vim plugin), it’s hard to go back

Ask Lemmy:

Miniflux

Yeah it would be screen mirroring

Yeah, there is a software you can install on the Pi called scrcpy (which is a terminal utility), you can get a GUI for it with guiscrcpy

Here’s the link going over it: here

And for the GUI part here

I haven’t use it, so not sure how well it works. There could also be other software to support casting that I’m not aware of.

Thanks for the clarification! That does make it more interesting than just an ActivityPub clone

They’ve been going on about that for years now, and last I heard about it, they said it would cost too much to implement or something like that? Can’t remember now.

How is this different to ActivityPub protocol that the fediverse uses? Seems like its trying to accomplish very similar things? Like how KBin and Lemmy can interact with the same content and have different layouts, apps, etc.

I suppose it’s good to have alternative protocols for decentralized communication, but wouldn’t it be better to focus on one and put more effort into improving it?

As far as I’m aware, the only way to get a private streaming box would be to use a RaspberryPi. You could use Google Chromecast but then you get Google, Nvidia have Nvidia Shield but that costs a lot and I’m not familiar enough with it to know if it has spyware.

With RaspberryPi, all you really need is to just install the Raspbian OS (they have detailed instructions on their website) and you basically have a mini PC with an Internet browser and all that. So you could just do that?

There is also this Chromium DRM compliant browser which supports Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc. Which you can install on the Pi for streaming support. Here’s the link

Just stay away from Chinese made Android Boxes. Linus did a good video covering those here

Yep, correct

Different companies have different requirements, but generally if you know a bit of SQL and a bit of Linux terminal commands you should be good. Maybe have a browse through a testing framework like Selenium, though frameworks would vary depending on what the company does, so don’t fret too much about that.

QA work has a fairly low barrier of entry, and from there I’ve known a few people who moved from QA into Developer roles. So there’s that route.

They are very similar. The main differences are:

• LogSeq uses bullet points. Obsidian is just pure markdown
• LogSeq is open source. Obsidian is closed source
• LogSeq has a predefined structure to it (folders). Obsidian allows you to have whatever folders you want

Personally, I use LogSeq for my day to day work. Primarily because I prefer the bullet point approach when taking notes. But some people would prefer writing long continuous text with Obsidian.

So to each their own. If you’re interested, try both (they’re both using markdown, so you can transfer between the two). I went back and forth a few times before settling with LogSeq

So like LogSeq, Obsidian is a free note taking application which stores notes in Markdown format locally on your PC. Unlike LogSeq however, it is not open source and is designed more for long form text (LogSeq is more bullet points).

You can check out Obsidian here

Same! I’ve become like a walking advertisement for LogSeq at work. Its great

Ever since I discovered LogSeq and Obsidian, I stopped checking out other note-taking software

You can use Lutris. But if you don’t want to go that way, you can simply use proton directly.

I have a script that I use on my linux machine that automatically detects an “exe” file in the same directory and runs it via proton. With that I’ve been able to play non-steam games easily enough.

There are plenty of tutorials online on how to run proton via CLI, here’s one

EDIT: As @nottheengineer@feddit.de said, you can also add exe files to Steam and have it run that way. Its probably the easier way compared to running it via terminal
