  • Thanks. I wrote that myself for our visually impaired Lemmy lurkers. šŸ¤™

  • Docker enables you to create instances of an operating system running within a ā€œcontainerā€ which doesn’t access the host computer unless it is explicitly requested. This is done using a Dockerfile, which is a file that describes in detail all of the settings and parameters for said instance of the operating system. This might be packages to install ahead of time, or commands to create users, compile code, execute code, and more.

    This instance of an operating system, usually a ā€œserver,ā€ is great because you can throw the server away at any time and rebuild it with practically zero effort. It will be just like new. There are many reasons to want to do that; who doesn’t love a fresh install with the bare necessities?

    On the surface (and the rabbit hole is deep!), Docker enables you to create an easily repeated formula for building a server so that you don’t get emotionally attached to a server.

  • Crazy to see this in my feed, I was just thinking about this the other day. I didn’t steal the balls, but I remember figuring out that I could remove them and clean the crud off of the rolling components inside to smooth my cursor movement. (This would have been 3rd or 4th grade.)

  • In my experience, Ubuntu and Ubuntu variants make for a great daily driver for someone who is new to Linux. When I started to get into Linux, I just found the most Q&A content and support for Ubuntu as I googled my way through it. This plentiful support was specifically geared towards newcomers, which I felt the other Linux communities lacked in comparison.

  • It looks more like the dev felt the PR being introduced was purely for political reasons, which he disliked. I'm not saying I agree with the dev, but you've stated he "had a public freakout over the idea that women exist" and that doesn't appear to be the case here.

    Consider that claims like yours, and the responses to his rejection of the PR, probably only strengthened his belief of the PR's intent.

  • Source?

  • Thanks. I’ve legit never understood how to navigate Twitter. Both Twitter and Snapchat gave me a good dose of what I imagine my grandmother feels when faced with operating a desktop computer…

  • Is this a real post? I can’t seemed to find it on that website ā€œX, formerly known as Twitter.ā€

  • Code never lies; comments sometimes do.

  • Wow! I’ve been thinking about making something like this and I’ve even poked at a few ā€œhacker/terminal/codeā€ themed games. However, every time I get serious about giving this type of game my time, I think to myself, ā€œI could just be programming and hacking something more useful than this, and I could just look at that experience as ā€˜the game’ rather than programming and hacking on something less valuable (the game, in this case).ā€

    This train of thought has me working on an FPS built on Bevy. I’m hacking, learning, and convincing myself that this is the hacker game experience I wanted. Heck—I might even come out of this with something tangible that could generate money one day. At the very least, I’ve up-skilled my programming knowledge. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

    That probably sounds uber boring and having said all this, I think I’ll still have to give this game a go!

  • So, basically, ā€œwe started learning Git and accidentally blew away the only copy of the code base we had!ā€ šŸ˜‚

    I’ve watched new developers delete 2 weeks worth of development by misunderstanding GitšŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

  • Alright stranger, let’s hear it. What is it about Fish that you love so much?

    I’ve been generally happy with bash or zsh, pretty much whatever is installed by default (and I honestly don’t know the difference between the two I just mentioned 😬).
