Proton 8.0-3 Released With More Windows Games Running On Linux, Fixes
  • 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

  • Chi Omega fraternity sisters call for change after nonbinary member was kicked out
  • 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

  • Help, I am scared...
  • 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?

  • Help, I am scared...
  • 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

  • what pdf/ebook reader do all of you reccomend?
  • 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

  • An ADHD rant...
  • I absolutely get that sentiment. That’s what killed it for me the first time even though I was doing so well. Around thanksgiving a couple years ago, I decided to top tracking because “oh it’s the holiday, I might as well enjoy it”, and then Covid hit and I really said fuck it.

    I got back into it last year after I finally decided to get myself medicated. It started off rough, and I definitely missed some days, or skipped some days because “why would I count, I know I’m going to go over anyways?”, but eventually the habit stuck and it’s been almost a year since I’ve started tracking. It’s still tedious at times, but it’s become second nature to log my foods when I’m making a meal. It may be slow going at first, and it may take a few tries for it to stick, but eventually it will

  • Does anyone use Shortcuts on your Apple device? If so, what are you using?
  • 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

  • the July 2023 Beehaw financial update
  • 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?

  • Rust fact vs. fiction: 5 Insights from Google's Rust journey in 2022
  • 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

  • What are some examples of xkcd 2347?
  • 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

  • What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming
  • 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

  • Venting about medication shortages
  • 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

  • What are some fun projects I can use to teach myself Rust?

    I’m currently going through the process of teaching myself Rust as a fun summer project, especially since it’s different enough from the Java/Spring stack I use at work regularly. What are some interesting projects I can work on in Rust to get some familiarity with how the language works, and get an idea of some of the libraries I can use with it?
