They test a LOT of the packages from what I understand. Not a good or bad thing but it does make things harder to update as time goes on.

We are seeing a general decline thats for sure.

My union made my healthcare much better and is the reason behind my raise. Its great!

Its been a couple of years. Is mono still a thing? Or was it eaten up by .net core? If its still a thing than Mono. We did that for a couple of one off apps back in the day.

If I had to redo it, i would probably just use core on Linux and call it a day. Maintainability is better than purism anyways. Again all my opinions.

Actually if you want my full opinion, I would probably use python to create a proof of concept real quick…then have it remade if it needs to be faster in go/rust/whatever the rest of the team knows :)

I personally like C# and NOT .net…but im a weirdo.

It used to be VB.net and other such stuff. It WAS pretty terrible. Ive had to pick apart some pretty horrendous applications. Then Mono/C# popped up and a lot of community effort went into making everything better. It helps that .net stole a LOT of functionality from Rails/Django/etc… and make it much easier for devs to do actual work on it.

The problem is when we talk about .net it could be a huge combo of tech from the last 10+ years. The newest iteration is fine. Its fast at least with C#.

Its so nice C# can run in Linux :).

At work, we joke that MS will eventually get tired of the OS game and just throw Windows tools on top of Linux and call it. Then just become a SaaS provider for everything else. Not WSL like legit linux kernel with Windows.

My favorite series is Dungeon Crawler Carl . Its so good. I have ALL of the physical books, the audio books (Jeff Hays is hilarious with his takes on the different characters).

My favorite book soap is The Wandering Inn . Its a free web serial and I find it VERY good. But it can have some lulls. I call it a “book soap” because if its size . I am a prolific reader and it took me YEARS to get though around 50% of the series. I have the ebooks, audio-books, and have enjoyed my forever book. The payoff is SO good. Tears of Liscor broke me. I had to take time off of reading for a while due to what felt like a bit of trauma.

When I was a kid, I loved the ring of fire series ( 1632 and such). I dont enjoy it as much, but the older books in the series I still enjoy re-reading from time to time.

I hated running into the “hidden” rules for communities by mods. You cant say certain words in certain communities as that would get you shadow-banned (you cant say meshcore in the meshtastic subreddit for instance).

And then reddit giving notices for up-voting certain content it does not want others to see .

They want conversions one way only. And supermods that have hundreds of subreddits under them like its a full time job…

Im glad im here.

If i cant do it in a weekend i usually hire someone.

…unless it brings me joy. Then its fun like setting up my miyoo mini plus with a cystom pokrmon theme.

I think thats why it would be an opt in or moderator service. Like a dropdown or something that a mod can pop in, set for a time, then remove when people behave.

If a subset of users are posting say once ever 10 minutes, it floods the system/community pretty badly. Regardless if its lemmy/piefed/etc…etc… Ive seen comics get flooded a couple of times from people (probably in good nature) post the ENTIRE comic (hundreds of posts) in a couple days time. It makes new very difficult to manage until the mods would come in.

Comments dont typically have the same issues, so I think posts should be were we draw the line. But again the way I see it, it will be optional and a tool to mitigate a user from posting too many posts per day in one community.

An Auto-mod tool might be good to start with? Not sure. Last time I messed with piefed and lemmy, piefed was easier to hook into the code and lemmy was easier on the API side. So the auto-mod tool could possibly start working on lemmy? I dunno, its been a while. Im probably going to try piefed first and see what works on my small instance.

All conjecture until I find the time/motivation.

Most of this stuff is volunteer work. 99.99% of people are using the respective platforms respectfully.

The changes come from you and me. So if you want to see a change, make it happen. The amount of people actually developing these platforms are VERY small actually.

Im tempted to code a solution in piefed/lemmy so community moderators can put rules in place for max number of posts per day. Comics got tremendously better when they implemented the max 2 a day posts. Or maybe instance wide as well?

It made it so communities were not overrun with posts/bots.

Yep. And more distros support so theres more incentive to fix any issues that have popped up. Plus theres more c devs in the world than rust.

Im so happy work stopped using ubuntu server after last time.

Also how the heck do you break cp of all things.

I dont want to experiment with core utils.

Thats an idea.

Sounds funny.

I was thinking of doing this just for the fun of it…but then I realized ill be giving MS where I live and other info with the shipping. Meh git is git. So I wont be doing it. But its a funny poke at Sony.

From what im seeing people are looking at steam/linux as an alternative not windows. With the RAM shortage, windows is probably the worst solution out of the available options.

Either way it sucks to get rid of the only way to get used games anymore. Im hoping this kicks back more and we see more partnerships with companies like limited run games and others who do physical releases. https://megacatstudios.com/products/zpf for example.

Desktop. 151.0.4 (64-bit)

Ah ok cool.

Im using Firefox so that may affect it as well.
