In C++? I’d rather be shot, thanks :P

Check out keyd, it’s very powerful.

The only thing I miss from Windows is Voicemeeter. God, I loved that thing. I miss it so much.

Handling the audio and adding what were once simple things like noise supression has been a really really shit experience.

SpiritFarer is an amazing deal if you haven’t played it yet. Super recommend it.

I finally bought Kingdom Hearts. The price is steep, let’s see if it pays off.

I don’t really think this is a good argument. Other games offer enjoyable experiences on normal difficulties and then offer a serious challenge by scaling up in higher difficulties. I remember original God of War (ps1 or ps2) was stupid easy on default difficulty and quite hard on the highest difficulty.

Your point 2) is just your biased view of the world, really. You think other people can’t enjoy something as much as you unless they do exactly as you. Different people like different things and it’s nice to have a choice. I don’t think gatekeeping game genres just because is a good thing.

I enjoy souls games and I’m okay with their difficulty but I honestly don’t get how the possibility of an easy mode upsets so many people. It doesn’t require much development time, if any, to scale down enemies.

This isn’t like implementing something that doesn’t exist or that fundamentally changes the gameplay. Scaling already exists.

It has literally 0 impact on your experience and would allow others to enjoy the game as much as you do.

Why so you care so much about point 6? Feels like overkill.

I read a bit about it, seems great. I should probably give that one a go!

Are you playing the N64 version?

especially if you’re looking for a physical gift

Yep, it’s a git! :)

The short term goal is only to learn the absolute basics of programming. I only mentioned GIS to give some context on why I was narrowing down the language to python.

She’s familiar with all the keywords you mentioned as she already works in GIS, just not as a developer.

Looks great, thanks a bunch! EDIT: ordered it! :D

It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.

I use freerdp with Wayland, works OK.

You wish. Most tech companies will get you the cheapest laptop they can get away with.

I remember being denied a 64bit laptop when developing a 64bit only application lol.

I have several clients with this kind of setup. I’m always baffled at the amount of hoops I have to go through to connect to my Linux server. Sometimes I have to remote desktop to a windows virtual desktop and then use the citrix session to another windows machine VIA BROWSER so I can finally ssh to the machine. Are they trying to bore attackers to death?

I don’t agree with this take that people should pay to work. Journalist have family to feed as well.

I often wonder how news websites are supposed to survive. People (myself included) want unbiased news websites without paywalls and ads.

How are they supposed to pay their staff?

It’s a gigantic money sink, it’s going to be extremely hard to come up with a profitable (or break even) alternative.

I stopped using LinkedIn because it totally turned into Facebook. Everyone is just posting memes, motivation quotes or soccer.
