I think this https://vger.app/search/lemmy.world/c/hackernews@derp.foo

I really don't find that to be true. I see lots of toy implementations, general philosophical discussions, hell even just man pages.

HackerNews(ycomb) is a veritable gold mine but I find the community to be a bit caustic at times.

There is a HackerNews mirror on Lemmy here that I like but not too many people comment. If I saw more activity I'd probably comment more.

What are you talking about?

Is this actually 14.25 USD?

🤷‍♂️

I mean all problems are solved with another layer of abstraction right?

I'm a little lost on what each of these components are. I see .sh files so I'm assuming you're mostly writing these with Bash?

With this level of complexity I wonder if you'd benefit from running a k8s server. Just food for thought.

Looks like you're having a good time for it. I always laugh at the similarity with this system building and the BUS designs of Factorio.

It's because we voted "anti-establishment". We tried going for Bernie but then the DNC took care of that. Then Donnie boy was "obviously never gonna win." And America said screw you we don't want the SAME elitist bullshit. Donnie won threw the world for a loop and you know what they decided?

To punish us. To encourage Trump, to outrage us at everything he did wrong and incite him to do worse. Ever wonder why he's not in jail? Because he's the clown they keep punishing us with.

See vote for Clinton, or Biden, or Bush because LOOK at the alternative!

That's not real democracy. Real democracy would've been Bernie getting the DNC nomination like he deserved. Real democracy would've been ranked choice voting where we don't have to pick the shortest steaming pile of shit!

We have to stop identifying ownership with these billionaires and "their work" because it's not. It's a team of people who got together to accomplish a mission whether they succeeded or failed. How often is their success just a leader getting out of their way, and how often is failure because leadership was overbearing and "used their authority" to make poor decisions over the group.

"We" society only ever focus on these individuals and it's horribly incorrect to do so.

We need to forget the celebrities and identity the groups.

Honestly yeah this is actually great. Most of the reasons I started to hate Reddit was that it went "mainstream". Censorship, political feuds.

I would hear Reddit mentioned in the news. I don't need that for my "community".

Like a return to Bulletin Boards. Hell yeah. Free and open internet babyy

This is wickedly cool and I was wanting something like this last night. Crazy that I stumble on it the morning after.

Half Life Alyx was sick and demonstrated everything VR could be. I will standby that statement and tolerate the flamers.

That's fair but I think one of the most critical features of Calibre for me is interfacing with my e-reader over USB to download/upload my epubs. I don't know how that would work from a Browser app.

Makes a lot of sense honestly because it's hard to see the demand for "competent" I.T. workers evaporating unless it was b.s. work.

Can you give a specific reason?

I feel that I'm usually more upset that apps choose electron and I have performance issue because they didn't spend time writing a proper lightweight desktop application. I feel like Calibre is actually one of those apps.

I could see portability across devices being useful but is the Calibre interface really going to be conducive for that?

For the first time in my career I'm actually not in this position. Found an employer that's an ex engineer and just "gets it". Good compensation, good benefits, and invests in all of our understanding and careers. Sucks seeing all the people just let go so I'm surprised this survey has this result.

Maybe it was conducted before this season of let gos.

Yeah you could put some together I think, possibly with OverlayFS as well.

I feel like the value those distros add is not just the rolling mechanism but the package manager being tied into it.

So you just use the package manager like any other and it works.

Well yeah obviously like NixOS. My reason for not using it is that they use a non standard Linux filesystem and it renders a # of packages I want to install incompatible.

I'm looking to reload my daily driver and there's just not enough support for that.

Honestly this is the reason I want an immutable build of Arch like NixOS.

Let me roll back my mistakes and I could live more happily with rolling release.
