  • I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it’s literally all conspiracy theories, but that’s not true, there’s also some “sponsored” posts AKA ads sprinkled in.

    What a sad joke.

    If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same “free speech” benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.

    Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that’s probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim “we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!” does make a great dogwhistle for “you can be a terrible human on here, don’t worry”





  • Ne, im Gegenteil. Viele die mit einem Monitor “geübt” sind könnten mit zwei effizienter sein.

    Keine Ahnung, die Diskussion ist echt müßig. Sowohl meinen Code als auch einen Browser gleichzeitig sehen zu können, ohne dass irgendwas abgeschnitten wird oder ich dauernd Fenstern zwischen Workspaces verschieben muss ist enorm angenehm. (Hab zwei im Quasrformat über einander hängen.)

    Wenn ich muss, kan ich mit einem Arbeiten. Aber es bietet genau 0 Vorteile, und etliche Nachteile.




  • Hi. I’m German. I bake my own bread. My parents bake bread. My brother bakes bread.

    We freeze the bread after it’s cooled down from being baked.

    You know why?

    Because that way, it’s great even weeks later.

    Sure, nothing beats bread that’s just out of the oven. But honestly, I think I prefer bread that’s been frozen and reheated even to bread that’s only 1-2 days old.

    Waaaaaay Less stale.




  • Thanks, but for the little C# I need to write I’ll stick with nvim :D (Yeah yeah I know)

    Incidentally, when I started to learn programming, I definitely was using an IDE (I can honestly not remember which one - I was following some book which included the setup of the IDE and instructions for that IDE only).

    But even back then it always bugged me that I did not know what was going on in the background. When a button did not do what the book said it would do, that would turn into frustration because I could not understand what had happened, or why something failed. Sure, part of that was just inexperience, but even today, I easily despair at GUIs.

    I could for example never get started with Godot because my brain just does not connect all the checkboxes and sliders with what is happening in the background. Bevy, on the other hand, was super easy to pick up precisely because there is no GUI.

    Maybe I am just weird.

    (Also I do not want to discourage anyone from using GUI tools, I originally just commented to support the “Linux is dev friendly” statement)


  • Hm, yeah, if you have an IDE made for your language, I suppose you can get around it for most things. (But that is not Windows-specific, most of those exist for Linux as well, after all).

    Still, I have (for example) not worked in any project yet that did not have some bash scripts to automate project-specific tasks. Ireonically, the only person using a full-blown IDE in my team is also an absolute crack at the CLI.

    I know those are anecdotal, but I would still maintain that it is very difficult to completely get around the CLI, and frankly, I do not see the benefit of doing so. An IDE is esssentially a nice wrapper around tons of CLI tools, and being able to use and understand them can only be beneficial.
