I don't think the Fediverse has a mental health problem. I think people online tend to be terrible, regardless of the platform...

Just because you don't like the top result doesn't mean it is irrelevant EDIT: I am in fact an asshole. I see the problem now 😂

I would try to have those discussions via a GitHub issue instead of social media. Actual developers (versus fanboys) would appreciate the feedback.

Stupid people are profitable

I re-downloaded Brave the other day, and I was disappointed to recall how bloated it feels. The attention tokens, crypto wallet, in-house search engine, trialware VPN, etc.—it's for someone, but not me...

My understanding is that most immutable distributions store the root filesystem in a read-only partition separate from userspace. If you want to install something that would modify this partition, it is applied temporarily until reboot. On reboot, the operating system attempts to resolve your changes, and if they break something it will reject them.

Each OS might implement immutability differently, but I believe that's the general idea. macOS is another example of an immutable operating system, as of Big Sur.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Some people just can't handle the "anonymity" the internet proves and take every chance to be a dick

I cannot tolerate Hannah Montana Linux slander

I struggle with this. People tend to suggest DAWs as alternatives, but this is frustrating. In practice, DAW != audio editor...

Because people are afraid of C ;)

Ironically that looks kind of badass

I really like this idea, but I don't think it should be opt-in. Generative AI tools have such a high potential for misuse that some form of provenance should be baked into the network architecture

VMWare offers free personal licenses, and it's one of the best VM solutions imo

Great read! But yes, that's pretty much the point of C/C++ 😂

Brave is trying to create an ecosystem where you use the browser to access their many "free" services. Once they run out of venture capital money and they've got people hooked, it's a slippery slope. Just my two cents though. I never loved Brave's corporate personality to begin with.

I want to know more about this scandalous bathhouse incident...

I always assumed that the authors of a project also provided the packages. Apparently not, but I cannot imagine why...

I do wish APT supported installing certain packages locally. Other than that, I'm more likely to use it than Snap/Flatpak/etc

Well, to be honest, my definition of hyperpop is pretty loose. As far as the typical sugary and synth-laden goes: Slayyyter, Charli XCX, Ayesha Erotica, etc. If you're wiling to accept hip-hop leaning tracks, XIX. And for alt-rock-ish hyperpop, Dynastic.

My thoughts as well. Beehaw Lemmy tends to feel like Reddit.

If you are a Mac users (which I am assuming yes based on your preference toward AAC), the program Pine Player does an excellent job with batch conversion. Otherwise FFMPEG is probably acceptable as well.

Everyone likes what they like! Honestly, I am nobody to judge, since some of the hyperpop I love the most sounds like an autotuned car accident lol

Personally, no. I think nightcore and slowed-with-reverb "mixes" are cheap bastardizations of the original piece of art; typically cranked out by tweens who just got their hands on Audacity. Or maybe I'm just an asshole 😂

It's fairly loosely defined, but it's best known for harsh instrumentals, heavy autotune, and intense compression. It's sort of a meta-genre which exaggerates certain aspects of popular music. At least in my experience, it is very popular with queer people, and there is a lot of remarkable hyperpop from LGBT+ (especially trans) artists. That being said, it is certainly not limited to that demographic. There is a fair amount of hyperpop that breaches hard rock, hip-hop, and even country.

Do you have much experience with deployment? I've got a small hobby project with a GUI written in Qt, and I've been having a hard time writing reproducible build scripts for cross-platform deployment.

On macOS, I can distribute the executable with homebrew and add Qt as a dependency. On Linux, I could theoretically build an AppImage, but I would prefer to have the build process handled by GitHub Actions, which doesn't have sufficient resources to statically build Qt. On Windows, I'm at a total loss...

My project is tiny, but it does have a niche market, and I'd love to make it available to as many people as possible. Qt is killing me!!!!

Sorry, I know that doesn't have anything to do with the design side of things. I'm just throwing darts, cause I've had a hard time on my own with this.

Ubuntu has been my daily driver for about ten years; but I've also had rendezvous with OpenSUSE, Linux Mint, RedHat, Arch, and Zorin. Nix has been on my mind, but I always come back to Ubuntu.

Straight out of a comic book 😂

Personally, I think it’s hideous and unintuitive. BUT I do love seeing alternative DEs, especially since I can only imagine how hard they are to develop (I’m a backend guy…). Props to the team, even if it’s an eyesore to me…

Thanks for the reply. What framework would you recommend for C/C++, preferably cross-platform?

Hmm... I didn't know that. Thanks!

Just because the ActivityPub protocol lets Lemmy and Mastodon interact doesn’t necessarily mean they should… Of course, I say that as we interact between the two!! It’s an interesting design dilema that I’m sure will receive more thought as the platforms grow
