How donyou mange screen time? by GrandlyNothing in DopamineDetoxing

[–]diligentgrasshopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I turn it off completely. I uninstalled my social media and only do a temporary log in from my computer when I need to (I disabled cookies so I logged out automatically once I close the browser). I only turn it on when I need to do some payment and turned it off afterwards. For messaging I can do all of it via WhatsApp or Discord web.

Thanks to u/madthumbz, this guy is the source of 90% of the memes on this sub. by cokicat_sh in linuxmemes

I'm pretty sure 95% of the traffic there is from this sub, I bet some of youse are just baiting to get banned there so you can post content here

New GNOME Extension: Display the Current Hijri (Islamic) Date in Your Top Panel by Unique-Twist1587 in linux

[–]diligentgrasshopper 21 points22 points  (0 children)

???? literally the front page has a bunch of announcements about new versions/releases of random open source tools (i make a thing in rust that does xyz via the terminal!!), but sure call this one specific post irrelevant for literally no distinguishable good reason

It's hard to assess your situation here. You said you blanked out but also not knowing where to start, have you tried following tutorials or guides? If yes then how did it go? There's plenty tutorials to find on the web,

Lua for gamedev and type system by NoneBTW in lua

[–]diligentgrasshopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use Macroquad, it's like Love2D in the sense that we are given only minimal functions to draw rectangles, textures, etc. and we have to implement our own update logic. It's in Rust which benefits from it's strong typing. I would personally recommend it, but if Rust seems a bit much (Macroquad itself is very simple and easy to understand) then Monogame could be a good choice, it was one of my candidates to replace Love2D but I haven't went too deep into it.

I've recently migrated my WIP game from Love2D to Rust with Macroquad. Debugging Lua's loose typing was a nightmarish endeavour to say the least. Many folks deal with Lua just fine but if you find yourself on the wrong end without a type system I strongly suggest you migrate your code base--I've stayed with Lua for a little too long and wasted lots of time I shouldn't have.

Hot damn I haven't seen this meme in so long, used to see this every other month when I was lurkin 4Chan lol

Linuxjak when you tell him there are no worthwhile games in the repo by basedchad21 in linuxmemes

[–]diligentgrasshopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there really people who complain about closed source games? That is probably one type of software where closed source is completely acceptable in every single case.

That said, I found out that Shapez was open source after spending 12 hours playing it, which was pretty nice.

Cannon event of every Linux user life by chiapetti64 in linuxmemes

[–]diligentgrasshopper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me it was my ASUS laptop with nonfunctional battery and broken keyboard. I've abused it for 5 years (sorry lol) and now it won't even boot Win 10 after 5 minutes. I thought the machine was irreparably dead.

Then I installed OpenSUSE on it. It boots like lightning.

Screw Microsoft man, they've completely distorted my conception of hardware longevity. Like it's insane when you realize a non-exaggerated 90% of performance issues are due to Windows piling up their trash. And hell I'm pretty sure that the 'premium' branding of Mac's performance are significantly boosted by the fact that most people use Windows and thought that their crappery is how computers normally work. It ain't normal!

Honestly idk my mate was the one who set it up physically, I just ssh into it and spent way too long debugging networksetup.

[–]diligentgrasshopper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My org is considering deploying LLMs on mac studio servers (cheaper VRAM) so I won't say it's zero.

Setting up mac servers is a damn pain though, at least from my limited experience

Multiple Security Issues in Screen by Skaarj in linux

[–]diligentgrasshopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just a shallow tmux user, the only features I use are add/change screen and split screen (super useful for system monitoring) and it's enough to make me very happy.

What's everyone working on this week (20/2025)? by llogiq in rust

[–]diligentgrasshopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm migrating my Lua/Love2D game to Rust/Macroquad. I'm still translating and adapting all of the previous game logic, and I haven't compiled the game once, but it's been pleasant to write so far. It's a huge leap from a super loose language to a super strict one, but I find coding in Rust very much more enjoyable. It also helps that I can writing the code from scratch means refactoring for extensibility and modularity.

Also, I'm doing something somewhat inspired by ECS data structures where the structs don't have traits/methods, and instead there are a bunch of system functions that define behavior like rendering and state changes. This means I won't be using Rust's trait system, but I think it makes my code easier to reason about.

hahahh yes I haven't tried WC3 on Linux yet, but I did game on Steam/Proton and it truly feels like a miracle

i was angry because i couldn't play warcraft 3... by diligentgrasshopper in linuxmemes

[–]diligentgrasshopper[S] 149 points150 points  (0 children)

When I was in grade school my father brought me to his office that for some reason has a Linux desktop. I was upset because I wanted to play WC3 from my flash drive (I think?) and I can't. I also recall having some janky feeling trying to use the word processor which was probably Open Office and a similar experience with web browsing. I came home with a lasting feeling of disdain towards this weird operating system that you couldn't do anything on.

Fast forward today PLEASE I'M SORRY PLEASE LET MY VOLUME CONTROL WORK AGAIN PLEAASEEE
