I like Ubuntu Server. It's got a nice installer that is simple and straight to the point, and lots of documentation. I'm also very familiar with it if I need to troubleshoot.

That said, I don't like snaps and every new version pushes them harder. I'm currently learning openSUSE to see if it can become my new go-to for servers.

I always run Linux servers headless, so how the distro does GUI (if an option) is not relevant to me in this scenario.

Also, the reason for the public beta is because people practically begged LJ for it. We actively told him, "We don't care if there are bugs or missing features, just gimmie now!"

Also worth noting that the fact that Linux gaming works at all on many "Windows-exclusive" titles is an absolute magnificent feat of engineering. For the longest time we've been working to get games working on Linux despite both game developers and engine makers historically expressing anything between disinterest and antagonism towards supporting games on Linux.

But I also get that the final product is still not all that smooth from a user's perspective. Just be sure to put the blame on where it belongs (definitely not Linux, or Wine who has been bending over backwards for over a decade to swim against the flow).

I'd call it Paradox Lang, or PL for short. It even has features that are contradictory to each other, you just have to declare which mode you want at the top of every file. Can you imagine. :)

The only feature it doesn't have is "lightweight and minimal language".

Quite a few languages that are major players now started as hobby languages.

Well I guess I am part of "they" since I have my own programming language pet project. Why did I create it? Because I wanted to, mostly. Sure, there are also some finer language design choices I wanted to choose differently for my preference, but mainly I just wanted to learn how.

• "single click to hide comment" [Enabled]

I absolutely cannot stand this behavior, if I accidentally tap instead of scroll then comment trees will expand/collapse and then I feel lost. Jerboa has this behavior and it was the most annoying thing about it when I used it, I'd say it was close to making me feel nauseous at times.

But hey, that's the great thing about Sync being so customizable, you can choose whatever behavior you prefer!

Exactly. Doing anything, if it requires work and provides value to you, has a value, and thus could be expected to be charged for. Ad-supported software has kinda ruined a lot of people's perception of money and value, expecting everything to be free.

If he gets 5000 subs he will earn almost 100 000 dollars a year. Which in Sweden equals to about 2.5 times of a well paid job.

If that is the case, well then in some of the larger coastal areas in the U.S. such a salary is far below what a decent software developer can expect. Cost of living is very high in those areas.

Talking about prices and costs is very difficult in a global ecosystem, because even different regions of the same country can have significant differences in market that change the value of money, even setting aside currency exchange.

Welcome to JavaScript! This is the expected behavior. For the life of me, it still boggles my mind. I refuse to write JavaScript anymore.

I kinda figured that the Lemmy API would be reasonably similar enough to the Reddit API that it wouldn't be a massive effort. Assuming good code architecture that keeps the backend separate from the frontend. :)

There are dozens of us!
