Omg this was basically my experience too. I was so mad when I broke out notepad to show my friends how awesome I was and they were like dude

HDR makes stuff look really awesome. It’s super good for real.

Slackware. Installed from 3.5" floppy disk.

I don’t remember. Long ago. I’m sure much has changed.

My issue with XMPP was the lack of synchronization between clients. If my mobile was offline while I was chatting on desktop, mobile client would never have the same chat history as desktop and my conversation history would be fragmented. When I asked about it on some developer forum, they basically just said that was out of scope for XMPP and should be implemented in client. Which sort of makes sense if the client is a web client hosted somewhere but I wanted a thin desktop client like pidgin.im

Last Epoch scratches that itch real good for me and it’s hitting release in a few days.

My friends and I had a blast in grounded. Really good times

Solidworks is the same way.

Meshuggah

I didn’t know there was an app! I use the website constantly.

I have a spare nvme SSD and recently took a weekend to play with various Linux desktop distributions. EndeavorOS and Pop! OS were my favorite. But I have an RTX 3080 and can’t afford to replace it with an AMD GPU. It didn’t work well enough with my games. I’m really attached to HDR which seems to be coming but is not generally available for most games yet. I feel like the writing is on the wall and Windows will not be a suitable option for me in the near future, but right now I have the least issues with Windows 11.

I use Linux all the time for hosting various services at work, but never with a GUI.

Palworld is better with friends because I have good friends but the game doesn’t get twice as hard and frustrating when you’re alone. I enjoy games that encourage coordination and teamwork , but I think that kind of gameplay would be out of place in such a whimsical world.

C and Rust are low level languages, suitable for interacting directly with the hardware. C++ might be described as C with some object oriented stuff bolted on, making it excellent for videogame development. C# is a lot more like Java. It’s great for line of business apps because it handles the complexity of memory management for you and provides an excellent framework and excellent libraries for a lot of common tasks. But it’s not suitable for low level work.

The main improvement Rust provides is memory safety. It’s very easy to make mistakes in C where you could overrun a buffer or something, introducing unexpected crashing and making it vulnerable to exploitation by malware or whatever. Rust eliminates a whole category of issues with their clever memory management paradigm. The improvements in this schedule probably have more to do with the strategy used than code efficiency.

I feel personally attacked.

I started on kbin. The content I was enjoying was all from lemmy.world so when I ditched kbin I just came over here.

Nice! That approach would be terrible for me but I’m stoked you’re finding things that work for you. What kind of video are you editing that contains so much footage? If you don’t mind me asking.

I think the best way to moderate gaming addiction is to be deliberate and disciplined about your goals. I love gaming and don’t want to be interrupted, so I try to deal with responsibilities first, to get more enjoyment out of an uninterrupted gaming session. Make hard rules for yourself. You want to be fit? Work out before gaming. You don’t even need a great workout routine; consistency will get you there. Use your drive for gaming to reach your goals. That’s my opinion

Yeah if you just want a little computer, sure, pick up the orange pi. But if you want any of the gpio stuff get a raspberry pi because none of the knockoffs seem to work with modern kernel.
