I just want to rant. Was using my iPhone X since launch and figured I should finally upgrade. Got the iPhone 15 pro when it came out. The digital island is hideous. Makes no sense, and I don’t see how those features couldn’t have been incorporated into the notch. We just lose vertical screen real estate. Feels like big brother is staring at me constantly, whereas the notch kind of faded away.

The camera bump is huge, and feels awful to touch. It also makes case designs bad as well with the raised edge. It’s very hard to find a case without the raised square borer around the camera bump. These cases leave marks in all my pants. The funniest thing to me is there are billboards that feature the raised camera of the iPhone 15. There are also posters when you walk into an Apple Store of the same. As if they think it’s beautiful. I wish I had gone with my gut and not purchased the phone.

Making me think more and more about running Graphene on a pixel. Ugh, you just can’t win with phones now a days.

I realize for better cameras, you need longer lenses, but it should be a phone first.

I think there is some info missing. You’re using SSH to access the server where you are running the docker image? Why does your server have X server installed?

I have no experience running Lemmy. It could be the Lemmy instance includes X server to run some kind of GUI? Seems strange.

I think that is the main thing I need to do. Check all my cloud saves for the games I want to continue. Thanks.

I’m considering purchasing a steamdeck. I may be away from my computer when I get the steamdeck. Could there be any issues with setting up games without access to a computer with my steam account? I assume cloud saves will be available. What about setting up a game that requires rockstar launcher?

Edit: Thanks for the feedback. It looks like the answer is no, I don’t need access to a computer with my steam account.

I would second Elixir. Either that or Rust. Sure both are popular, but for good reason.

They are completely different from the languages you use.

You will be introduced to new paradigms.

As a person who used the same stack as you (albeit typescript instead of JavaScript), I think it would be a waste of time to learn C#. It is so close to Java, and learning it may make you hate having to use Java, because it seems a bit better put together. Even though it runs on Linux, and is a good language, I don’t think there is ever a reason to chose it over Java, because M$.

Haha, indeed. I was giving a satirical take of how many older people feel. It’s hard to have your independence taken away from you.

Manjaro Gnome worked with my Lenovo T480s out of the box.

Check out exif tool. You could also incorporate jq a command line json parser, to extract data from the json file. If you are trying to do higher level sorting/organization, you may consider using a scripting language other than bash/zsh. Guaranteed there is a Python package for reading exif data.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it might not fix the issue. If you can find a GPU to borrow, plug that in and see if you still get crashes.

Running Windows? You could try a clean install
