  • FYI: StarTrek.website is no longer federating with Lemmy.dbzer0.com

  • Isn't that exactly what you're doing? Generating drama?

    No proof or reasoning, while saying "Nah don't look at me I'm not involved" while doing a thing thats creating drama?

    I have to assume this is related to the tesseract debacle, and I have to assume that this sort of drama generation - which is what this post is - will continue from startrek.website now.

    I guess I'll go elsewhere for my trek themed lurking.

  • Declaration of scope

  • No, but maybe its an experience thing - have to be burned enough times by not having something to want to have something?

    I think a lot of projects start off just someone goofing around with an idea so no hard requirements to start. I do that when I'm learning something new but they aren't ambitious or worth sharing.

  • Declaration of scope

  • I always start with defining requirements, and then I follow with a bunch of pseudo code. Its how I do things at work too. I like getting the ideas and structure out before I write any actual code or I get stupidly distracted.

  • The sleeper has awakened

  • Well I know what I'm looking for tonight

  • I want to make games someday but where do i start and what should i learn?

  • Start small

    This is my strategy whenever I learn a new language. Start easy, escalate in complexity.

    • print to the command line
    • take input from the command line
    • dumb blackjack game
    • dumb blackjack game and store session results
    • Make a fugly UI but keep the operations text
    • Make a fugly UI and add basic graphics

    Etc.

    The basic game itself doesnt matter - make it hangman if you want. The idea is to get used to a language.

    Keep doing that sort of thing, experimenting and learning, find ways to break things, find weird ways to solve problems, figure out ways to write even less lines of code. Find elements that you can make a function instead. Sanitize inputs excessively. Whatever.

    Play around, and keep playing around. You'll learn in no time.

    For the record, this is how I learn, by doing. I have a really hard time sticking to tutorials, and I find examples far more helpful than a manual entry explanation of what something does. YMMV.

  • IT’S THE FEDS!

  • Thats right! I forgot about that part.

    Cops are nightmarish levels of stupidity.

  • IT’S THE FEDS!

  • If I remember right, one cop brought his rifle in which got sucked into the MRI machine.

    Even the warrant was based on a cop lying iirc. The basis boiled down to something like "energy use and tinted windows", which, you know... Medical imaging and patient privacy.

    Idiots and asswipes.

  • The four horsemen of shitty chat apps

  • We have everything because there were different groups and changes along the way, and no one wanted to put in the effort or lose anything.

    Now things are mostly in teams, but files are not on SharePoint but Box, making it even more ridiculous.

    I loathe how messy my work laptop is with all these different variations of... Messaging.

  • Hard work pays off

  • Especially an aerospace company it would seem.

  • Hard work pays off

  • How far back do you think worker protections go, specifically in the context of punishment?

    Strapping (beating someone with a leather strap... Sounds familiar here) was common in factories in the 1800s.

    You didnt have to be a slave to get beat/whipped/more.

  • Postman is logging all your secrets and environment variables

  • Unfortunately, I do, for one client for work as a requirement.

    Its for their own tool though, so its their problem.

  • Intel Arc Graphics B570 & B580 Gaming Performance On Linux For Mid 2025

  • Oh definitely, I just didnt expect the Intel's to increase so much or so quickly.

    I was planning to pick one up to replace my GPU in my main workstation, and a second to be a transcoding workhorse with av1 support. Unfortunately waiting a bit longer likely won't help considering the tariff nonsense, so I'll probably end up buying last gen for less and waiting a few more years to go current.

  • Intel Arc Graphics B570 & B580 Gaming Performance On Linux For Mid 2025

  • I was juuuust thinking about getting a new GPU, so this was timely...

    I thought the B580 was supposed to be around $250, but it seems they are retailing in the mid $300s or so. Maybe I'll grab an older A series for now for my transcode box and wait a bit longer on my desktop upgrade.

  • KDE dots & stripes glitch when waking from sleep

  • Just to check and be sure its not hardware, have you done a clean boot and run a stress test?

  • How climate change is raising your electricity bill | a case study of Texas' electricity market

  • Oh its definitely the bed they made.

    I'll take whatever positives I can get though

  • How climate change is raising your electricity bill | a case study of Texas' electricity market

  • Considering the sweeping loss of maga in Texas, I'm thinking some Texans are starting to care, which is good to see.

  • CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season, the most in 15 years.

  • I hate this so much.

    I'm grateful I only know of one anti-vax looney toon at my kid's school.

  • As an American, I wholeheartedly endorse this plan.

  • Microplastic waste generator rule

  • Its more often that I get my hands on something in need of minor repair, perhaps a part. Newer devices arent always easy either - I've had trouble finding parts for a robo vac thats 5 yrs old, for example.
