Is fractional scaling a standard feature in GNOME now? Last time I needed it, it was still an experimental feature I had to enable.

Why would anyone be ashamed of owning a WRX STi?

Not true. Players who memorize the spray pattern choose to turn off the dynamic crosshair. By default it is pretty standard with other games.

Ants Took My Eyeball - Pixel graphics, awesome soundtrack, ridiculous premise. One my favorite roguelites ever. Similar to Dead Cells and Noita.

It’s on mobile too.

My poop breaks at work have significantly increased in duration since I found that out.

I feel like it’s almost too generic to be useful. All the “standard” attachments make it a thing that already exists (and those things are usually much stable and supported). If they get enough 3rd party attention prior to launch, that could change.

I wish they would have spent the time and effort just committing to the smartphone idea. Linux and the Linux community could greatly benefit from more open source smartphone devices.

Needs to make sure there’s a loophole for Apple production when more China tariffs hit.

I played the demo for a few hours. Might be a solo dev, but his experience is definitely noticeable. Game looks great, albeit unoptimized. Progression is simple and fair. Artwork is incredible for a solo dev. Combat is decent, and unexpectedly satisfying.

Someone else mentioned the excessive blood explosion - it’s the best feeling when you land one of those shots from across a field.

If you’re going to point fingers, point at the problem, not something you don’t understand.

Wayland has problems; it is not the problem. X needs a replacement and I strongly encourage you to research why if you don’t understand why. Wayland is relatively new, and has large shoes to fill.

It will be many years before it has matured enough to fill your and everyone else’s needs, and by then there will a new replacement for someone else to gripe about on the internet.

Is it April 1st already? What the fuck is this shit.

I think the point is that he’s blocking it from daily exposure. Obviously these are very important events, but the inundation of articles - some of which trying to capitalize on the violence - can be detrimental to the victims. Over-exposure to this horrific war causes it lose its severity.

Everyone trying to follow and stay aware of what’s happening should be picking and choosing their sources of information anyway. I wouldn’t call Lemmy best source for this or any world event.

As with most professions, nothing can replace experience. Senior engineers, laborers, scientists, doctors, etc. all become seniors through years of learning, and arguably more importantly, failing.

Rookies will try “method A” until it fails, then learn “method B”, then try A and B until a C is needed. Rinse and repeat. Being self-critical and observant will help.

In the short term, “in 6 months”: Practice. Every. Single. Day. If you need to break for day, make sure you come back the next. There are thousands of educational tools out there: Online lectures, free tests, public forums, problem sets (i.e. leetcode) etc. Don’t skip the fundamentals, even if it seems boring. It will mean less memorization, and you’ll understand more complex topics easier.

If you plan and commit to it, you still won’t be a “pro”, but you’ll likely have a chance in an interview, where you might land a job. There, over years, you can hone your skills.
