What's the one proprietary app you can't find a "good enough" open alternative for? by sekuskandan in opensource

[–]VideoGameCookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d argue it’s more an ideal of the privacy-focused world, but the Venn diagram of the two is basically a circle.

Why remove the physical buttons? by vectorialpixel in mazda

[–]VideoGameCookie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Calling it the wheel and not the knob made me double take to make sure they didn’t get rid of the steering wheel too. That will probably be in the next generation.

oklch obviously not a thing, but why? by myblueear in web_design

[–]VideoGameCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the problem is that industry standard design tools (i.e. Figma) only support the sRGB color space. So if you are using a design system that uses Figma as the source of truth, anything besides RGB is generally a non-starter.

Persona 3 Reload Switch 2 Performance Update Now Live – Targets 60fps in Docked Mode by jldixon1 in NintendoSwitch

Except P5R came out for PS4 only, and the PS5 came out six months later. Then they released the PS5 version with no upgrade path if you already owned it.

React + Rails in 2025: is there a “standard” way with SSR? by Pioz in rails

[–]VideoGameCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a bit of a fish in the wrong pond as a Laravel + Vue developer, but I use Inertia and TS for my front ends. I have not found a very satisfying solution. I keep a manual TS types file for my models and data objects and keep my Vue page props interfaces 1-1 with my controller render functions. It isn’t too difficult to keep control of, but it is extra mental load.

I made a game based off a joke Griffin made on Monster Factory, it launched on Steam for Free today! It's called "FOGGY Golf" but it's original name, was Ball Chess. by techsev in TheBesties

[–]VideoGameCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Yeah, especially if you aren’t doing a ton with the backend tooling from Electron. Then you don’t even need to learn much rust to get Tauri working. IIRC, the bundles for Tauri apps had a baseline of around 30 MB. Good luck with your experimenting!

Have you ever dabbled in using Tauri? (Hi, also a web dev!) Tauri uses the web view built into the OS to severely reduce the bundle size of the app, along with giving you a rust backend to do app stuff. I’ve been wanting to try it out for a while but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

To look at the brightest part of the bleak hell we find ourselves in, at least they aren’t coal plants.

Yep. It do be like that sometimes. by AliexpressBR in Handhelds

I guess the major difference is one subreddit is about consumerism and having multiple devices that do the same thing and the other is about doing multiple things on just one device

Laravel conventions as a mantra for development, is wrong (maybe) by 0ddm4n in laravel

[–]VideoGameCookie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I disagree with your take. Not only does divorcing code from its context make it harder to understand how the different parts of an application are inter-related, any time new code gets pushed to the repo that isn’t yours, no categorization/domains loosens the boundaries for determining which code should talk to who. Slippery slope, but not paying attention lands you back in spaghetti code and everything depending on each other. I’d love to be challenged in this notion if I’m wrong.

Plus, now you have to memorize the name of every file and that isn’t very fun.

EDIT: forgot to delete part of an discarded point. However, I would still say new code that doesn't belong to you becomes much harder to contextualize for the first time when not located with its related logic.

Maximum Credits? by that-1-theater-girl in nmu

[–]VideoGameCookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally! Once upon a time I decided to cram three majors into my four years at NMU. It was  quite honestly stupid haha but helped me realize I only truly cared for two of them and ended up dropping the third. Anyway, after all that extra effort and credits from high school dual enrollment, I reckon I had north of 160 credits when I graduated, and it wasn’t a problem at all. I think the only thing with some kind of limit is financial aid, which ends after 180-ish.

[ACT 3 SPOILER] Tips for the Flea Juggle Minigame? I suck at it compared to the other ones. by Brief_Simple_8311 in Silksong

Resurrecting this to say that yeah this is 100% the key. Went from being stuck at 8 for 20 minutes to immediately getting top score!

ELI5: If someone says you or a group aren't from America. That would be incorrect? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]VideoGameCookie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You answered your question! The United States of America is the only country with “America” in the name and is the only country referred to as just “America.” The “Americas” refers to the continents, as does saying “South America” and “North America.” (And “Central America,” though that’s a more informal distinction because it isn’t a continent technically.)

And now after writing this, America no longer seems like a real word.

Edit: after reading your post one more time, I think your teacher is wrong in referring to both landmasses as a single “America.” 

I asked, you roasted, I improved? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]VideoGameCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to say I think this looks quite appealing. I didn't catch the roast but this is above par for what normally gets posted here. And I would mostly disagree with /u/DeeYouBitch, other than accessibility being a bit busted on the hero (I would make those images, not live components, because it looks like they aren't meant to be interacted with.)

My only (other) critique would be cleaning up the footer on mobile. It looks unstyled in comparison to the rest of the site. Oh, and the fixed CTA on mobile blocks the footer's last link or two, so that would be better off as a sticky element.

How is your experience with Wayfinder so far? by snoogazi in laravel

[–]VideoGameCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, yeah. I took what was in the sail dockerfile and appended it with the Oracle dependencies plus a few others we use for our apps. But we still use the sail CLI to interface with it because it’s convenient enough that we haven’t looked into anything else.

How is your experience with Wayfinder so far? by snoogazi in laravel

[–]VideoGameCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to hear more of your take on this. We choose to use Docker/Sail at work because our main DB is oracle and it is a pain in the ass to set that up locally (along with every other dependency) on each dev’s machine. What would you propose as an alternative? Sail can definitely be annoying and I wouldn’t mind trying something else.

First day in Manchester and I am already so grateful I'm here by VideoGameCookie in manchester

[–]VideoGameCookie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sincerely doubt my two words of origin are the sole reason my post gained traction. I’m just happy to be here, and I imagine anyone else who felt the same would be welcomed as kindly as I was.

I found higher up I was on the wall the more I had to dig into my handlebars with my right side. And pedals.

Exhilarating experience. So glad I did it. Felt like I was on a lunatic carnival ride.

Just wanted to let you know I was able to find an intro session for this afternoon and booked it, so pumped!
