That's interesting. I think this country was built on massively shifting zeitgeist, from the revolution and all the things it has produced that seemed radical at the time like the declaration of independence and the constitution and its initial amendments; to the recent civil rights movement -- especially with movements like the Black Panthers. Major social zeitgeist shifts have been this countries bread and butter since its very origin.

Well, right now it seems to be going the other way around, as we begin to remove and rewrite American history to our liking -- largely exclud9ing slavery and the near genocide of the native American population, Jim Crow, Civil Right and much more.

Furthermore, we need to address why, as a democracy, we voted for an icon for racism, sexism and incompetence; and what that says about where we are at right now. However, we can't seem to agree on the color of shit once it is known that one is engaging with he opposite side. How can we hope to have such grand conversations when we can't even have the most elementary ones?

It’s a bit ambitious for just myself but I want to make a fork of Mortal Online 2 but for NA and have the melee mechanics mimic Chivalry 2.

But I haven’t been able to really code much at all being in this bootcamp full time to change career paths from software development to cyber security on top of working a few other jobs. I also have a plethora of other ideas once this bootcamp ends and I can hopefully find something stable.

Very true! But I think how said technology is presented and making it easier to use or more understandable to certain people goes a long way.

Sort of like public intellectuals and hardcore academics. Hardcore academics are the ones driving forward new innovations for a particular field of study or another. Public intellectuals make said field of study more accessible to the public by providing descriptions and explanations in various laymen terms.

In a similar way, bottles may make using wine or different wine versions easier for some; or maybe the process of creating and setting up a bottle clicks better and makes the most sense for them.

I am similar.

I have found the process to be rather overly complicated; though I do recognize some benefit in more granular control in certain areas. Between running different versions of wine and proton, I have been able to do everything I've needed to and wanted to do with far less steps and time invested into the setup. I haven't really thought about bottles again until now.

However, I do think that it is important to support projects like these anyway -- as gaming on Linux is one of the few consistent barriers for people switching over from windows or mac; just because it isn't my cup of tea or that I personally don't see the benefit of it doesn't mean that there isn't a whole community of people who prefer to use bottles and enjoy the fine control over runners and such. In a larger sense, I think supporting them would be supporting gaming on Linux as a whole.

Not surprised by this at all, really; but I wonder if the code is of higher quality than without AI?

Where are you seeing anything about energy? it says power — which includes, but isn’t limited to, electricity.

[–] harbard@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

it absolutely is. used it for work and it fit our needs perfectly. I wonder how much improvement it has undergone in the year it’s been since I’ve used it.

[–] harbard@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago

me too; but at least you know it’s not you’re fault — for whatever that’s worth.

[–] harbard@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

yeah, in one sense it was lol.

[–] harbard@fedia.io 3 points 3 days ago

This. This project drained my soul lol.

My favorite so far is either my websever in bash or my webserver in Common Lisp. my webserver in C was fun too though
