Thanks for the recommendations! I finally got to them after a whole bunch of listening to nothing but the new Avenged Sevenfold album. I really liked She Knows It, had an early Avril Lavigne vibe to it which I really liked. The other two weren't for me, but I appreciate the recommendations all the same!

Nuclear Throne. It's a fun Roguelike dungeon crawler. A run from beginning to "end" (last level before looping) can take 15min and I've spent 100s of hours playing over the years.There' are so many characters you can choose to play, each with its own unique special ability.

I just did the same with Boost. I've been part time both here and on Reddit, nowi it's time to start really leaning into Lemmy.

I have been on Reddit for the last 10 years, and a 3rd party app user for all of it. It feels like the end of an era, and that will be sad no matter what. I won't miss the vast majority of subreddits, especially the bigger ones. It's the smaller more niche subreddits I'm going to have a hard time not returning to and I'm hoping to find similar communities elsewhere.

I work with something like this on a day-to-day basis. We make and production API endpoints on microservives using a largely click, drag, and fillout options style UI, using a functional language of thiers to transform data, this is all written to XML which is consumed by their engine to create a Java application that deploys into their cloud environment. We can also add custom written Java to fill in a few gaps here and there.

It's good for what it does, making creating API and consuming a variety of data easy. It does allow us to get down to business and start working with the design of the endpoints and manipulating the data off the bat. It's only good at that though, it wouldn't be any good at doing ML or creating an OS or writing a web browser Even with the stuff it's good at, you can feel the limitations as soon as any real logic complexity is involved and it starts to cumbersome quickly.

And I think that's where those kind of "languages" will excel, it does this one thing that's tedious with a lot of nittygritty boilerplate under the hood but that's not too hard logic-wise well but that's probably about it.

What's been catching your ear lately? I am often in the metal, numetal, metalcore, death metal subgenres, but I'm always interested in exploring!

I'm happy to see them come over and try Lemmy. Not only because it's content I check in on, but it's a good way to expose others to the concepts behind Lemmy and give them a potential starting place finding a home and start discovering.
