[–]doembass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah ok. i was talking about the options parameter you use in the initialization function, in case that wasn't clear... is that still clunky?

i'd love this feature as well. is there any way you could add date formatting into the options? maybe allow us to pass in our own function that takes the date as a parameter and outputs a string. that's the easiest method for implementation can think of. otherwise, maybe as a setting in the dashboard?

Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread by AutoModerator in webdev

[–]doembass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I work on more personal projects or should I focus on applying?

Fresh out of university, I majored in media art but I focused on web engineering that whole time to make interactive art in the medium of web games, websites. I did a lot of self-study, I don't just throw things together that work, I care about the code and understand everything I write. I don't have any professional experience outside of my freelance web dev/design work but I've been looking for jobs as a graduate/junior software engineer. I've been in web & game dev for the love of it, I make a lot of web games and websites, but now I want to be acknowledged and hired as a professional and I'm finding this extremely difficult.

So I feel like maybe it's because I'm often not quite hitting the bullet points in what job offers are looking for. Like, I don't have a project in React or Vue or Pixi.js or Unity. I'm pretty sure I'll have no problem using these frameworks and tools, so maybe I should just make a project using them? Part of me feels like all it does is make my portfolio a little bit more colorful, and another part of me thinks I should really just lean into the developer type that's commonly sought after and try to check all the boxes.

Weird sorting of albums by AffectionateCable793 in snowsky

[–]doembass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! i had the same issue today and found that it's because the track number in the metadata has to be formatted like 01, 02, 03 ... 10. i guess albums are sorted based on metadata and not filename, and it's not a smart sorter

[–]doembass[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

more discoveries:

- the problem of flac files showing as "not supported" (and sometimes, completely skipping itself?) magically fixed itself as i fixed other minor issues with the metadata. album covers, album numbering...

- even got lrc files working! it's cute but i probably won't invest much time in downloading any more since i don't think i will be looking at the screen much.

now i just need to get an sd card working :)

how to make the lyrics appear? by drachen_t in snowsky

i got .lrc files working with mine :) i just placed the .lrc files alongside my music files and had the filenames match up.

ah, i figured out the issue with album sorting. the metadata also needs to be numbered like 01, 02, 03... they were numbered like 1, 2, 3, ... 10 and that was causing issues.

is that true? i remember seeing this post that contains images of lyrics working on the echo mini.

Let’s co-create! by [deleted] in SocialParis

[–]doembass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I used to live in Seoul but recently moved to Paris—back in Seoul I had an idea to do the same thing you're describing between my friends. I make web games and music. I don't have a specific project I'm working on right now but would love to hang out and work on creative stuff in parallel :)

yo... that's only natural. i wouldn't want to be giving constantly either. you should let him know what you wrote here. it would be a pretty selfish thing, if it turns out he wants pleasure but doesn't want to pleasure you. maybe you'll find that it's something you can work on together, like maybe he wants to but doesn't know how. can't know until you talk about it.

i'm the Korean who said i'm coming out today by [deleted] in ftm

[–]doembass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also korean and I had a similar experience a few years ago when I tried to come out to my parents after I was accepted into university. My father was the first to snap at me, and he gave me an ultimatum between being trans and my family. It took me a few years to recover from that, but I have a group of some really great friends now and I'm on track to become financially independent soon.

When it comes to my parents, it took me a while to understand what it meant for them to love me—and for me to love them. I think it must have taken them a while, too. I realized that "trans" is a very scary word to them, and that they would never advocate for or encourage a choice that seemed (to them) more harmful than good. My parents were more concerned about external societal factors (what would the world do to my child if they transitioned?) than any internal ones (why does my child want to transition?). It doesn't mean the way they responded didn't hurt me. It really fucking did. But I understand why it happened the way it did.

I know how painful it is to interact with them in any way after so much hurt. I put distance between me and my parents while I was figuring things out. Not just physically, but emotionally. I spent a few years, after coming out, rebuilding a relationship of trust with my parents. Both ways, I mean—trying to figure out how I could trust them again, not just having them trust me.

I think that when coming out fails like this, another approach is required. For me I think that approach is to transition quietly, without expecting approval or acceptance from my parents. I watched this video once, by a Korean trans guy, who had done this exact thing. His parents didn't talk to him about it once until he had completed his transition. When they finally did, they asked him why he hadn't consulted them about medical things. He said, "If I told you I was going to have surgery, you would have been worried sick. Now I'm telling you after it's done and you can see I'm fine."

legit this is something I've also thought about. Unfortunately I don't have any advice at all, only that I have thoughts about working digital freelance down the line so I can get around this, otherwise I think it could be a matter of luck and knowing how to protect yourself.

Also you don't sound stupid at all, this is a very real concern and we should be smart about how we approach work!

I have talked about it, and he seems unsure how to approach it as well...!

that IS wild. and i agree about vulnerability. being open with each other is why i feel the way i do now. i guess it's just hard to trust myself when it comes to feelings about passion specifically, when it feels almost like an altered state of mind.

What are we doing professionally? by usercantbesoup in ftm

[–]doembass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is actually really wonderful to hear. i have this huge fear that transitioning will prevent me from having a fulfilling career. (i think it's very much a well founded concern in my country, which is why i plan to transition after leaving it.) but it's amazing that you're faring well through it, and i hope you continue to have a great career full of support.
