I make things: electronics and software and music and stories and all sorts of other things.

  • Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!

    Jump

  • I think so

  • Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled!

    Jump

  • Good. Maybe now someone can mod it so it isn't the worst Mario Kart in the series

  • Rust's new jungle update has finally brought me back to it.

    Jump

  • I thought this was a post about the Rust programming language at first, and I was really confused

  • Zelda 64: Recompiled (Majora's Mask) adds modding support, texture pack support, optimizations and more

    Jump

  • I'm just waiting for the melee decomp to be finished

  • parseInt(5)

    Jump

  • Common Dynamic Typing L

  • Kids' books by quadrant

    Jump

  • Who gets "The Giving Tree?"

  • ffsend: securely share files from the command line (fully featured Firefox Send client)

    Jump

  • I've not heard of "Firefox Send." Why would I use something like this instead of scp or Nextcloud?

  • NotJustBikes uses Linux!

    Jump

  • I've had this in my .zshrc for a while: alias $(date +%Y)="echo 'YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP'"

    If you type the current year in your terminal, it will say "YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP" lol

  • NotJustBikes uses Linux!

    Jump

  • Nah I definitely was giving stuff up to use Linux back in the day. Really, I'd say 2021 was when things got REALLY good.

  • How is my Python code?

    Jump

  • You appear to be afraid of spaces. Everything is cramped together.

    Just bc you don't have to put a space after colons or after equals and commas and whatnot doesn't mean you shouldn't

    Don't be afraid of spaces.

    They make it easier for you to read your code when you come back later

  • Why is the negative Z-axis considered to be facing forward in Godot?

    Jump

  • Not if you think of forward as "towards you." It comes from Math. X is right, Y is up, and then when doing 3D, Z is out of the page, bc that's easiest to draw.

  • I don't use Ubuntu anymore, and haven't as my main in a long time.

    My longest running distro is probably Arch, which I've recently switched back to after a year on Fedora and a year on NixOS

  • Ubuntu back in 2014. Followed by Elementary not long after

  • Atomic Linux Distros: What Barriers Stand Between You and Making the Switch?

    Jump

  • They just seem kinda hacky and overcomplicated rn.

    I was on NixOS for a while, which is sort of in this camp since the system build is deterministic an immutable, and I've had to switch away bc it's just annoying. Apps aren't made for immutability in mind, and sometimes when you (read: your OS) try to force them to, the burden falls on you to maintain it, not just the package maintainer. VS Code is a prime example. Some extensions just don't work right. It's not Nix's fault ofc, but that doesn't make it less impractical to use, so after 2 years away from Arch now, I've had to return.

    Other immutable distros face similar issues.

    On top of that, specific distros have reasons I wouldn't want to use them. I wouldn't use Bazzite, for instance, bc it is based on Fedora, and I won't use Fedora again. I liked Fedora when I used it, and it has things about it I like, but it has a glaring issue: anywhere it can be non-standard it is non-standard. For apps to run on Fedora there always has to have some weird location for a config file or a different way to install a program or some bug that only occurs on Fedora. Fedora be fedorain. That rules out Bazzite, Silverblue, etc. I call it the "RedHat Tax."

    I wouldn't say I'm against an immutable distro tho; I just haven't found one for me yet. For now, BTRFS and backups + Arch are enough

  • why is it called nix? unix without u

    Jump

  • I'm running Linus

    Linux without X but with S... ystemd

  • Please support this! As graphic designers we should be able to use a open source OS.

  • I would, but I can't get through their captcha (even w/ adblockers, tracking, etc all disabled)
