Firefox a few years ago would kill my Mac battery in a couple hours, now it’s as good as safari for energy management. No reason not to use it as a daily driver now.

The general consensus is that hybrid builds are tricky and require a good understanding of the mechanics to pull off. You could pull builds from fextralife to make it easier, or just make a hybrid party made up of 2 magic and 2 physical damage dealers, which is far easier.

I got tired of managing the skills and inventories of 4 characters so I’m going to try another run with 2 line wolf hybrid builds. Probably will end up on east mode cause I want a chill experience.

I’d personally recommend an Aeropress over a pour over for a beginner. Pour over is actually pretty tricky to get great tasting coffee out of imo, aeropress is much harder to screw up.

This is solid advice. Learn the fundamentals, and maintain conversational knowledge of more cutting edge tech. As you get stronger in the fundamentals you’ll be able to speak intelligently about why you might choose to use some new fangled thing.

Not even close. Started a CS degree 7 years ago at 28 and am a director of engineering now, if it’s what you wan to do go for it. I will give a warning that the market isn’t amazing right now, and people getting into it just because they see the salaries is flooding the entry level positions. If you’re motivated and excited about building software you’ll be fine, but something to be aware of.

No idea where they're coming from, but people have been exchanging files on IRC files for year, why stop now? The obscurity of it is probably the only reason it's still around, it will never get enough attention for traffic to overload the servers, and nobody will bother trying to hit them with lawsuits.

Like the other comments have said, it’s probably not worth your time to bother. As to why you might want to start one:

  • you’re finding the instance your on is too slow
  • you want more control over which instances you’re federated with
  • you like to tinker
  • you want to build a meta-community that has its own identity

The iOS app I was using (DarkRed) was working until a few hours ago. Now my feed is empty so goodbye Reddit on my phone.

I’m not that concerned about the morality issue tbh. I want to browse content without ads and with a ux I enjoy. Reddit at its core is just a collection of forums and many of those forums are still active. I no longer can access those communities on mobile thanks to these changes, but old Reddit + RES + adblocker means that I can still browse on my computer. If this goes away then I’ll say goodbye to those communities, but since these communities haven’t migrated to Lemmy I’ll keep browsing.

He’s been around long enough that he doesn’t need to cater to the typical YouTube algorithm gaming that most channels do these days. But it’s a good point, I’d you do t know about him it’s be easy to miss.
