  • Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'

    Jump

  • Unreal is just a resource hog. I can play AA 3D games on my laptop at 30FPS, but I can't run an Unreal starter scene with a sphere at more than 20. They just don't give a shit about anything that's not top end hardware.

  • I just tried vibe coding with Claude

    Jump

  • I've just started recently using Claude after being very unimpressed with Copilot, but my current theory is that you should treat everything it writes like a PoC that you found in some obscure github repo. Use it as a reference that you can generate quickly, take out only the good parts, adapt them to your context. It's harder to delete code than to write it, so it's easier to just take what you like from its output, rather than try to clean up all the nonsense it generates.

    How accurate that is and how useful it is compared to just writing it from scratch varies a lot based on your particular project. You still need a good understanding of the output it produces, otherwise those subtle bugs and low quality adds up. The times it's the most useful are when it writes a lot of stuff that I would've written myself, but I can point to some detail and say "that's wrong, I'll write it myself".

  • Ownership of open source flashcard app Anki transferred to for-profit AnkiHub

    Jump

  • Excuse my skepticism (it comes with experience), but after reading through AnkiHub's PR-speak AI slop, I doubt that a company with 40 employees that already uses a monthly subscription and AI is not going to enshittify this project. Did their team contribute anything to the OSS project while they were building a for profit company on top of it?

  • Official MAGA propaganda has come to Bluesky

    Jump

  • I use both. Bsky has way more people and the feed is better.

  • Man decides to keep box of cables he’s had since 2002 for another year

    Jump

  • I just threw out my mum's CRT TV last week (unfortunately was beyond repair, RIP). I decided to keep the SCART cable just in case I might need it some day...

  • You Don't Need Animations - Purposeful Animations

    Jump

  • The important thing the article is missing, is that you should always respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting. Some people just don't like animations; either because they are distracting, or because they don't want to waste battery/cpu on useless things (looking at you, spotify player, using 15% of my cpu for some animated bars...)

  • What's your experience with Nim?

    Jump

  • No clue what you're talking about honestly. I've worked on a 7 million line python codebase, and while python had tons of issues, whitespace was not one of them. You can easily move things around and have never seen a bug due to bad indentation.

  • Discriminated unions proposals overview (might come in C# 16)

    Jump

  • Looking good. Especially looking forward to unions backed by a struct.

  • I'm new to using Ruby and this tickled me pink

    Jump

  • Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit

    Jump

  • Exactly. My favorite extension doesn't work anymore because the owner (rightfully) doesn't have time to deal with this shit. So some scammer now published a version of it which requires more permissions, probably mining your data or some shit. Fuck Google

  • What Should I Use Instead of Github? - Codeberg Gitlab and BitBucket

    Jump

  • Thankfully, I am not at that point of desperation to consider Atlassian a valid alternative.

  • What does everyone think of this new WIP language?

    Jump

  • That was before there were a bazillion production ready languages with 30+ years of ecosystems out there. Any new language is going to have significantly more competition nowadays

  • Slapping on a .expect is also error handling!

    Jump

  • Unwrap is good for prototyping and trying out stuff fast, but it generally shouldn't make it past a code review onto main, unless you're very sure

  • How to browse websites in 2025: 13 simple steps

    Jump
    1. You close the video that started autoplaying
    2. You try to read the content of the site on 20% of your screen because the rest is padding and headers and useless shit
    3. You try to understand why your laptop fan has started and your battery is draining at 100% cpu on a text and image on website
    4. You manage to read something on the website before your battery drops by 30%. You try to figure out if it's AI generated or not
    5. You're hit by a paywall

  • China Lays Off 50,000 Intelligence Officers, Redirects “Much of the Money” to Republican Donations

    Jump

  • Replace China with Russia and this would be news, not satire

  • Tankies delusional-posting are quite funny

  • The Dumbest Move in Tech Right Now: Laying Off Developers Because of AI

    Jump

  • Does a writefreely instance appear on lemmy as a community with posts written by the author? That would be so cool, and would go in the right direction of integrating different kinds of social media in one client.

  • The Dumbest Move in Tech Right Now: Laying Off Developers Because of AI

    Jump

  • Let's make a community powered, open source project to do this and watch them squirm when investors demand that million dollar CEOs get replaced with AI for higher investor returns.
