What do you think of Richard Stallman? by joshcodes in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] joshcodes@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Only man I've ever seen pick shit from between his toes and eat it while having a philosophical discussion about FOSS.

10/10 agree with the ideology and think he's an amazing programmer 0/10 agree with his culinary recommendations

It's not like I just change things for the sake of change by joshcodes in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Nice try Microsoft, I still don't like your monthly "small" ui changes that hide the features I use and add extra "get copilot now" buttons

The truth... by joshcodes in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

Divergent just didn't have the nuance, character depth or world building that the Hunger Games had and I'll stand by that opinion. The divergent movie was a let down to tbh, the book was better. Still not as good as the hunger games tho.

Python beginner by joshcodes in c/python@programming.dev

[-] joshcodes@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago

Highly recommended Automate the Boring Stuff. It'd a free tutorial on YouTube and you learn things like printing, using numbers, then opening files and manipulating data. It's useful straight away.

Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to. by joshcodes in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] joshcodes@programming.dev 12 points 4 months ago

Not the above poster but Manjaro routinely pushes out broken packages, has had a number of issues with security (not renewing their tls certificates for their website) and is all around not stable. Arch is a predictable unstable, manjaro is an unpredictable unstable attempt at stable.

Valve's iFixit partnership is a game changer by joshcodes in c/right2repair@discuss.tchncs.de

Imagine the alternative world where you had to back up your data, discard the device and buy an entirely new one because a simple piece of plastic broke.

Apple will tell you this practice allows them to build innovative and superior products while integrating hardware and software compatibility closer than ever.

Has Windows startup repair or a troubleshooter ever fixed your issue even once? by joshcodes in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] joshcodes@programming.dev 13 points 8 months ago

The Windows network troubleshooter is black magic from the depths of hell itself and is very opinionated and selective in choosing which issues to fix and whether you'll need to bargain your soul to recieve said fix. I have red hair and find it doesn't bother bartering with me, but your mileage may vary.

China bad, USA good by joshcodes in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Huh, is that why the people of Hong Kong seemed so happy in that last bout of protests? You know, when over 1 million people took to the streets, protested and set the city on fire? Also, and just out of interest, is your government still using "prisoner's of conscience" as an organ donor pool or have they finally shut down their concentration camps?

Does X11 still limit max FPS to the lowest of all monitors? by joshcodes in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] joshcodes@programming.dev 11 points 11 months ago

X11 doesn't limit it, but you will want to enable "Force composition pipeline" to prevent screen tearing. nvidia and Wayland work together btw. It's not a match made in heaven but they do work.

Recommend me a stable Linux distro for gaming (programming.dev)

So I've been running Windows on my gaming system and Linux on my laptop for Uni for a while. I chose this to discourage working instead of relaxing, or gaming instead of working. However, I am finding that I often get the opportunity to work from home and I find it easier to just use my laptop on the go (I have a dual monitor setup + kvm switch so its a little annoying to have to come home and run 3 cables just for some extra screen realestate).

I want them to run the same OS so I can use the same tools and workflow. I use Ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop, W11 on my PC. I have nvidia GPU's in both (1660 Super Desktop and 3050 Laptop), so installing and maintaining drivers would ideally be easy. I would use Ubuntu but I plan to move away from it since they're moving away from .debs. Any recommendations? I am looking for stability, but something I can game on. I've never had a linux gaming pc so I don't know how much that changes things. I don't want to do much tinkering, I am more of a set an forget type.

I generally prefer Gnome, XFCE, KDE, Cinnamon, Mate in that order. I looked it up and a lot of the games I play are Proton DB Gold or up. The only game with an anticheat that I play is the MCC and I'll just disable the anticheat if its an issue.
