On one hand, you should probably indeed take personality quizzes claiming to be scientific online with a grain of salt and actually check if they have that kind of backing.
On another, they're fun. I am indeed the type of person who takes shitty online quizzes! (And their sometimes-higher-quality sibling, the academic survey. I really miss r/samplesize) And that doesn't necessarily make me an idiot. I do wonder how to let my fellow quiz takers know that there are a lot of claims to scientific validity out there that just are not true without being a buzzkill, or condescending to the ones who already know and still participate for fun—because I absolutely get wanting to combat pseudoscience and misinformation.
However, I didn't take this quiz myself, I found this in a post online and thought Programmer Humor subscribers would find it funny.
Best guess: it's like the innocuous "wrong number" scam or the looking for love email scams. Talk with "her", form a "friendship" or "romance" until she has your trust enough to sucker you into buying whatever scam bitcoin or sending money.
As a Real Woman™ I would never send a blurry candid to introduce my face. The poor lady who got her picture stolen (maybe this is a video screenshot?) probably has nicer shots of herself. Ironically the spammer trying to seem "authentic" with this picture just makes her feel faker. I imagine most people want to put our best foot forward and make a good impression, hence a nice picture.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. My main takeaway is just that while taking a break works for a lot of people a lot of the time, for this person sometimes it doesn't.
People are different and sometimes if you are new to something, it's helpful to see both the popular advice (take a break) and that it might not always work for some people (this poster).
Users can subscribe to a hidden community to remove the hidden effect status of a community
So if a user subscribes to a hidden community, it will not be hidden for them anymore. But will it be unhidden for everyone else too? Would it start showing up in local feeds?
I once saw something about how if you are trying to build it yourself instead of using a pre-existing library you come off arrogant.
Can I build it better? Probably not. But do I want to deal with a dependency in my fun side project (unfun), when I could just build it myself (fun)? No.
I probably should to get more practice with it so it is less painful, but…
Can I make it cutesy and memorable? Maybe with a fun acronym or alliteration?
If I can't come up with anything I like, this is one of the only few areas in my life where I am comfortable asking AI. I am also very bad at names. But you already did that step, so sorry that that is not too helpful!
Later when I git status or just look at the repo online… "oh crap I let .DS_Store in didn't I…" and then I remember to set up a .gitignore and make a new commit to take out the .DS_Store and put in the .gitignore.
I usually don't, which is completely sacrilegious as a musician, but I'd rather be playing it myself ¯(ツ)_/¯
If I do bother, it is usually Broadway (have not seen that here yet!), the pop music of my childhood, classical, classic rock, or anything I have ever performed before. Around Christmastime I have a dedicated Christmas playlist which is just Christmas songs.
50/50 if I can have music on while programming. Sometimes it becomes background noise, sometimes my brain starts focusing hard on the music and I need to not have that.
New fear unlocked: I fit this description and just don't realize it. Kind of along the lines of imposter syndrome. Am I just bullshitting everyone around me into thinking I'm competent?
Oh wow, how did it do the latter!? (I'm more technical than the average person, but half the time I feel too dumb for programming.dev, but I'll never smarten up if I don't stick around and learn, so…)
Also shifted off Windows 11 to Fedora. Well, at least, a modified version anyways—Nobara—on the suggestion of a user in the thread.
I understand reluctance to move because of ease of modding.
This does not answer it for all your games, but did you see this post about Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim modding on Linux? It might help for those at least.
I have managed to mod Dragon Age: Origins successfully with the help of winetricks and/or protontricks, I forget which one.
I'm really lucky that I avoid anything that has anticheat. Not because I'm a cheater but because all the slur-screaming 12 year olds and my own fear of getting addicted to MMOs if I ever gave them a try have mostly dissuaded me from anything with online multiplayer.
Which means most of my games are Linux-compatible and I have no gaming group I'm giving up by making the jump :D
Saw something on programming.dev about some extra telemetry Windows 11 was adding or something like that? I forget. It was definitely something I think is bad, that people on programming.dev also think is bad. Then, despite having done registry edits and everything else I could think of to turn off auto Windows updates to make sure I would not get the bad new feature added in an update, my Windows 11 computer auto updated anyways. Got mad, wanted to switch to Linux, asked !linux@programming.dev for help, and finally did it four months later, a few days before the new year started.
Oh thank goodness I am not the only one. Just the way I, an American, read things, and my cynicism about people trying to replace devs with AI says top (trying to hire real devs) goes first and bottom (fired everyone) second; title and the fact this was posted in Programmer Humor implies it's bottom first and top second.
