  • Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!

    Jump

  • Mostly Linux built-in commands like grep, awk, and cat when working with bash scripts

    For more serious projects that rely on a CLI interface, tools that allow for ANSI codes to be used. For example, I use prompt_toolkit (for actual menus) and framed_text (for ANSI messages and yes, this is something I made) for my Python projects.

    git is my main project branch program. It's just too good to pass up.

    I don't really use CLI/TUI text editors other than quick edits over SSH when I'm not at my PC. For that, I use neovim with nvchad, or nano.

  • Where do you discover new music?

    Jump

  • From shows I watch and games I play. I don't really go out of my way to search for music. If I find something interesting, it's usually on YouTube.

  • What are your favorite alternate rules for a sport or game?

    Jump

  • Hexagonal Tic-Tac-Toe, because it's pretty interesting. It may sound simple, but the altered rules make the game a lot more challenging.

    I found it through this video if anyone is interested. They have more videos on the matter too.

  • What's your favourite book you were made to read in school?

    Jump

  • Tuesdays with Morrie was my favorite book back in school. Still one of my favorite books I reread from time to time.

  • What was the smallest python hobby project you worked on?

    Jump 
  •  py
        
def main():
    print("Hello world")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

    /s

    I think a small one I worked on was extracting URLs from a CSV file in a certain column. Not too difficult, but a very specific use case.

  • How big is your bookmark list in browser? Do you check them out regularly or too scared to revisit the pile?

    Jump

  • I only have about 50 pages bookmarked, neatly organized in folders. How tf do some of you have hundreds of bookmarks?

  • What in your opinion is the appropriate way to use emojis?

    Jump

  • Emojis are not needed and shouldn't be used.

    Now emoticons... 𓁹‿𓁹

  • How often do you take the "fuck it, i could die of cancer in 2 years" approach to life?

    Jump

  • I don't have that specific approach to life.

    But I do have a "Fuck, I could end up in a hospital with an IV in my arm" approach to trying to keep my body healthy.

  • If there were a Lemmy.i2p instance, would you use it?

    Jump

  • Probably not. I2P is a pain to set up, for little benefit other than a decentralized network. The latency is not worth it currently.

    When it becomes click and install, and the latency is improved, then maybe.

  • What do you want out of a coding monospace font?

    Jump

  • Pretty colors. That's it

  • Who?¿

    Jump

  • Underdale and Deltatune for sure

  • New 3D printing regulations: "Additive in America: Regulating 3D Printing" by 3D Printing Nerd

    Jump

  • From the thumbnail: New York, California, ... Generic US state?

    /s

  • Budget, adjustable monitor for programming?

    Jump

  • Yes, I'm looking for one that can rotate on its stand, instead of needing to mount it vertically.

    I'll clarify that in my post

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Budget, adjustable monitor for programming?

  • Sunglasses suggestions

    Jump

  • I've only ever bought cheap $2 sunglasses and they work fine. They're cheap, so they break easy, but they're only $2.

  • Why I always keep doing it...

    Jump

  • Very true, especially when working with recursion. (Debugging recursion sucks)

  • Religious spam by lem.cochrun.xyz accounts

    Jump

  • I misread that as "Trust Turtle God GIF", and was confused by the downvotes.

  • Character development

    Jump

  • Season 3: Just 1 more hour.

    Season 4: Just 5 more minutes.

  • Spring 2026

    Jump

  • Season 4 of Classroom of the Elite is airing. Looking good so far.

    If you do watch it, be prepared for a lot of changes, as the art style, music, and the intro have completely changed (Probably new studio). Fortunately, the VAs are the same (as far as I can tell).

  • What package manager do you use for arch based distros?

    Jump

  • pacman /w chaotic-aur.

    I don't need the AUR directly, a GUI, or other managers. Just what came with my system + chaotic works just fine.

    edit: typo

  • Have you seen Neon Genesis Evangelion?

    Jump

  • Never seen it, so all the memes of it in animemes make no sense to me, but it's still funny to look at.
