I’m currently using pop os with an etc 3070, and I haven’t noticed any major issues. I had some weird glitches on fedora because they use the open source driver by default, but using the proprietary Nvidia driver is totally usable. I even got ray tracing working on cyberpunk 2077

As someone who was involved in Greek life in college, it is sad that I am not surprised by this. The amount of times I heard “better dead than coed” as a half joke was just sad. And I was part of a coed fraternity that had active members who were women. They always complained when we had problem members who were women, using it as an excuse as to why we shouldn’t Be coed, but turned the other way when we had male members who were an actual detriment to the chapter.

I don’t think Greek life is inherently a bad thing, as it really helped me come out of my shell during college, and I made some lifelong friends from it. It really needs a cultural shift though, because they still have some pretty dated ideas

Thank you! I’m already familiar with REST apis, since that’s what I work on normally, so hopefully the learning experience will be smooth. Where can I find the dev matrix chat?

First off, thank you for working on improving lemmy, it is greatly appreciated. How does one go about helping work on lemmy? I’m a software engineer myself, and I’m looking to provide help during down of my free time. I’m not the most familiar in Rust, but it’s on my summer bucket list

Adhd is that you?

That looks very clean, and I like the fact that you can have bookmarks and other QOL features with it. I may have to take a peek at that one as well

Ok that’s super interesting. That is much cleaner than my current way of downloading my books to my iPad, so I’ll have to check that out and see how easy it is to integrate

Huh ok, I’ll have to give zathura a peek. Sounds interesting

Yeah I love calibre. I use it to manage my main library on my server, in addition to calibre-web for managing my front end. It’s really good at managing a ton of ebooks

I have a shortcut that turns on my tv’s in the morning (Apple TV), switches them to Spotify, and plays a logo music playlist for me. It lets me have music playing throughout my house as I’m waking up making breakfast

I’ve never used DigitalOcean myself, so I was just curious about something implementation wise. Do you all have Kubernetes set up for managing multiple lemmy instances, or are all the resources dedicated to one lemmy instance?

I’m starting to try and learn it right now, and it really doesn’t seem that bad. To be fair I’m mostly going through books and documentation to make sure I understand the differences before I jump in. Learning some of the specific features of the language doesn’t seem too bad either

Oh man. I missed it by like a month. I graduated with my bachelors in December, and started in January. I was hearing horror stories from my new coworkers about how people had to cancel vacations to get stuff patched asap

I take it more as “their opinion doesn’t matter to me since I’m still having fun”. I definitely get the magic leaving though, as I don’t play as grind heavy games as I used to. I enjoy more story driven games now though. As long as you still get your stuff done and don’t let it become an obsession, gaming is a valid hobby

I’m currently going through the frustration of having to get a psych evaluation through my psychiatrist’s office to get prescribed stimulant meds.

My PCP was fine giving them to me because I’ve been seeing him for the last 20ish years. He recommended I go and see a psychiatrist though since the meds he tried for me were giving me weird side effects, and seeing a specialist would be better for me. It has been great seeing a specialist, especially with the therapy since it helps me learn some other coping mechanisms besides meds.

I’m currently trying to switch to Concerta because Straterra was just making me so tired all the time, and my psychiatrist said trying these new meds would help. Turns out to get the stimulant medications, I need a psych evaluation according to their office guidelines, and the soonest appointment I could get was mid September. It really sucks, but I understand that they are probably slammed. It just really sucks to have to deal with meds I don’t like for a few months because it’s better than the unmedicated alternative

You know, I’ve never implemented Conway’s game of life, and that sounds like an excellent way to work on a new language

Oh that is a very cool resource. I haven’t seen this one before. I am definitely checking this out. Thanks!

Huh that’s a pretty solid looking book. I did a quick glance through the chapter list online, and there is a fair amount of content in that. A solid book like that may be good for me to check out as well

Huh interesting, Parsing is always a fun exercise for learning some language features. I may try that out then for a good starting project. Thanks!

Personally I think the soundtrack for HoS was better too. GoD’s theme is a banger of a song, and I love the etherealness of the soundtrack

You don’t need to worry about your skill compared to other people. Just learn at your own pace and have fun with it! There will be a moment when stuff starts to click.

Plus code competitions are a completely different beast compared to regular coding. A lot of those are just practice and memorization more than anything
