  • Java Bros

    Jump

  • Java but in an alternate universe (with Microsoft's trademarked cursetm that follows everywhere). Auto-properties/properties to reduce boilerplate, extension methods, simplified exceptions (I don't care about being explicit about checked/unchecked exceptions, I just want to throw em and catch em whenever I feel like it! Then again, other languages don't want you to care about any of that either), Linq and access to the wonderful world of the GAME DEV ecosystem (Unity, Godot). Anything other than that is just splitting hairs at this point.

  • Super Hexagon (60+ seconds on All Hyper Levels)

    Jump

  • worth mentioning that a FOSS clone exists of this game called Open Hexagon:

    https://github.com/vittorioromeo/SSVOpenHexagon

    might try to beat it one day lol.. if you thought Super Hexagon was insane, wait till you see what OH has in store...

  • Why do you use the distro you use?

    Jump

  • Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you're on your own. The fact that it's Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.

    It's like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.

  • What do you guys use LLMs for, that is proven to work well with them?

    Jump

  • I use LLMs to generate unit tests, among other things that are pretty much already described here. It helps me discover edge cases I haven't considered before, regardless if the generated unit tests themselves pass correctly or not.

  • Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN

    Jump

  • If It’s as good as astrobot then I don’t think 10bucks is all that crazy either.

    ... is not in agreement with

    If the only point is to advertise the functionality of the console, charging any sort of money for it is not productive for what it should be achieving

    ...and it doesn't look like a contrapositive either.

    Astrobot is actually a fully-fledged standalone game, in which the PS5's features are seamlessly baked into the core of the gameplay, rather than the core of the game being just the PS5 functionalities. The only other game I could think of and one you could compare it to more accurately is Tearaway (back when it was a PS Vita exclusive), because that was also a game that made use of every core functionality the console for that game had to offer.

    The Welcome Tour is literally just PS Vita's Welcome Park but with a few more mini games, the latter of which is free.

  • meanwhile, the 3 (incl. me) remaining PS Vita Welcome Park enjoyers:

  • What dungeon/temple in a video game has a great ambient experience, with music or visual appeal or both?

    Jump

  • If I can skirt the conversation to talk more about the soundtrack and less about the ambiance (which I will), then Dicey Dungeons. I deliberately stall battles just to hear more of the OST. Tempting Fate is my favorite track.

  • A Commie Pirates Guide to Consooming.

    Jump

  • For something multi-platform as a music downloading solution, I recommend Lucida instead:

    https://lucida.to/

    you just paste the link of an album/song (whether via Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal, etc..) and download away. Then all you have to do is unzip the resulting archive file.

    For anyone doing research (or more generally, studying in uni), consult the literature pirate's equivalent of the Library of Alexandria:

    https://libgen.is/

    And fuck copyright in academia (fuck copyright and academia in general), here's a site that let's you bypass research article paywalls (pick one of the instances):

  • Lemmy AMA March 2025

    Jump

  • I was hoping it could be embedded, but this is a nice-to-know, thanks!

  • Lemmy AMA March 2025

    Jump

  • i'm clueless about torrents and Lemmy, can you embed them in posts/comments somehow? The closest thing I could think of is using a Framatube instance, but I don't think you can embed them

  • Lemmy AMA March 2025

    Jump

  • Random general question, how do you feel about file hosting? When posting, I tend to avoid uploading media larger than like, 5MB, just cause I know that the cost of storing said media can get exorbitant very quickly and I wouldn't want to be part of the burden.. I'm not able to donate just yet. Knowing this, I am currently on the fence on whether I should create a "gaming clips" community.

    That said, it's nice to be able to embed media from other sources (despite it potentially not working natively for mobile platforms if I'm not mistaken?), which got me thinking: it'd be nice to have some sort of preference list of image/video hosting hosts that users can add to or remove from, and uploading directly from the comment/create post view would use the first working file hosting domain from the list.. Just spitballing here.

  • New Chinese GPUs and the Truth about DeepSeek. NVIDIA is out?

    Jump

  • Are the GPUs commercially available yet? :o We need a website akin to "are we rust yet" but for chinese GPUs/CPUs

  • People overestimate the percentage of immigrants in their country

    Jump

  • Yep, looking at this again months later, I'd say this one's a lot easier on the eyes, nice one :)

  • Solution that tailors existing CVs to a given job post?

    Jump

  • If this "partially automates" the problem, then it's good enough for me. I think this is as close as close can get to what I'm looking for, I will try this out for sure, thanks!

  • Wake up babe, a cinematic masterpiece just landed

    Jump

  • does it change the aptly-attributed title "cinematic masterpiece" in any way, hmmmmm?

    IMO being off by around 10% or more is still quite the leap.

  • Poland's Ministry of Family and Social Policy wants to ban employing foreigners under civil contracts, restricting them mostly to employment contracts

    Jump

  • in essence, civil contracts is an umbrella term for two types of contracts: Contract of Mandate (Umowa zlecenie) and Contract for specific work (Umowa o dzieło). Employment contracts (umowa o pracę), which are its own category of contracts, are the regular employment contracts most people are familiar with.

    Basically, the 1 major difference between the civil contracts and employment contracts is that you're entitled to benefits (overtime compensation, maternity/paternity leave, PTOs), work is done in specific work hours (up to 8 hours per day if I recall correctly) and are governed by the Labor Law (at the cost of taxes 😦), whereas the civil contract has none of those and are regulated under the Civil Code, with the benefit of having a higher take-home pay. Oh and either an employee or employer can terminate the agreement at any time under the civil contract.

    The changes coming into effect at the start of 2025 concern employers not because this limits the opportunities of foreigners, surprise surprise, they don't give a fuck. They're concerned because this means they will lose out on $$$ that they save from not having to pay those benefits, and foreigners are concerned because this basically limits their options at getting anything resembling a job legally in a job market that's already in the crappiest state possible.
