It’s a peacock, smart-ass.

I’m not sure where I was supposed to post this, but as much as I appreciate the custom dark theme used by lemmy.world, I also dislike how it does not respect the system theme on my PC.

Because I wanted to make cool software. I wanted to make my own micro-kernel, or maybe my own game engine, and monetize on that, maybe create a new type of system software or work for companies like Couchbase or Redis. I was lied that graduating with a bachelor’s degree in computer science will make me proficient in that. I was lied that my job will be stable, and that I don’t have to worry about anything, and that interviews are a piece of cake. I didn’t learn shit in those four years, I just “passed” somehow. The lectures were all boring and crap, all of it was just rote-learning, and nothing about actually discovering something new. With the exception of programming, I have not a clue of Computer Architecture, Digital Systems Design, RDBMS, Object-Oriented Modelling, just to name a few. Now I’m stuck with learning about web development, I hate looking at anything related to NodeJS bundlers or JSX snippet. SvelteKit makes it a bit tolerable. And even when I work on “projects” for the sake of jobs, there’s no sense of achievement. What’s even more draining is that I’ve been jobless for about a year. I was barred from placements because I was “mentally unfit”, just because I shared my personal problems with the university professor who breached my trust. I’ve stopped applying anywhere, I’ve lost my peace of mind, I have insomnia, lost the sense of time, multiple body eczema that keeps appearing even after treating, as well as a dangling rectum since about a year which I can’t pay for, my parent’s debt as well as mine, and a junk of a degree that won’t even help me secure a master’s degree. Career-wise, I’m two years behind my peers, and the worst part is, they’re independent in their early 20s, while I’m not.

Living till 120 or 10,000+, if there’s no human dignity, then what’s the point of living?

Reminds me of the time when I was a kid. I wanted to live long to experience how the world would turn out to be. Not anymore.

You mean Tata Motors? Jaguar is no longer owned by Ford, but by JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), which is a subsidiary of Tata Motors.

But Servo is a good project, what’s wrong with it?

Sorry, this might sound like yet another “Windows bad” comment, but the real spyware is the operating system you’re using.

Passphrases are as secure as passwords, and more resistant to brute-force attacks, also very easy to remember. Add symbols and numbers, and you’ve got yourself a strong way to protect your account.

None of them. I’ve learnt them all and I’m still fucking jobless. I hate programming and my fucking stupid 4 year degree. I want to be a farmer now.

ATI bought by AMD?

And I thought I was the loser for not getting any notification, apart from the usual apps spamming their premium plans.

When there’s RISC-V boards available, I see no merit to buying an architecture that was supposed to be bought by Nvidia. All hail the EU, but I’m not placing my bets on Arm anymore.

Robosticles, precision engineering, made in Germany.

Gold medals cost $4 per account, meaning about $40 combined. But on cashout, let’s say Reddit pays them $5 dollar for getting ten gold medals. The net money lost is $35 from the pocket of middle class to greed VCs.

oH WoW reDdiT iS TruLY reVOlutIoNary 🤡

Truly a next-gen way to beg for money after Venmo and CashApp.

Can you run ML stuff on it? And why aren’t frameworks using Vulkan or OpenCL, if they’re both open standards?

Linux isn’t UNIX, but rather UNIX-like. On the contrary MacOS is certified as UNIX by the Open Group.

Lola’s World of Wonder. It’s a tiny itch.io game, but the game kinda destroyed me. It stops working after you’ve finished playing the game.

Stuck on step zero cuz I can’t even afford a beer.

!RemindMe

Which is funny, because Helix is my main text editor. I love it, but my issue with Helix is that despite bringing in LSP, tree-sitters and a bunch of other stuff, they shouldn’t have left out on scripting. So, any addition to Helix is very much opinionated, and owner-restricted. If I want a plugin like, let’s say git integration, or note-taking, it would be at the mercy of the contributors. Now, technically, I can create a fork, but it isn’t the most ideal solution, when I am at the mercy of having to use package managers, especially in NixOS and GuilleSD. But that is not to deny how good it feels to use a TOML file, as opposed to maintaining lines of code. Another issue is that it does not respect system theme, but there’s a PR already out there, I believe.

What I love about Kakoune is the core-utils integration and shell-first approach. Tabs don’t exist, you use a terminal multiplexer, which, in a way, reduces redundancy. Also, since Kakoune has the client-server architecture, it inter-ops well with tmux. Not only that, it respects and maintains terminal theme consistency (both in light and dark mode). The only place Kakoune is lacking is that it requires a bunch of plugins, LSP, tree-sitters and DAPs must be a core part of the app, and that’s it, it guess?

Also, thank you for your contribution to Lemmy :-).
