Some of us still do 🙃

Did it about 10 years ago. Didn’t really understand half of what I was doing at the time but it was a fun way to spend a weekend 😁

I use the steam deck as my main computer running the stock steam os.

I’m currently using distro box to set up different programming environments. This is possible on steamos, which has the system directories as read only, by installing podman into the home directory. Distro box have a guide for steamos setup.

I run neovim but I would think you could run vs code if you use it. Haven’t tried running a web server on it yet, but again, should be possible. Or, you can get yourself a cheap vps from digital ocean or linode if you really want to learn Linux the hard way!

… And newspapers, talk radio, and news. Seems like they just try and force feed the hate these days.

The one thing I really liked about sway/i3 was having numbered spaces. The tiling I could take or leave, sometimes it was annoying if you hadn’t put in rules for an app. E.g. gimp used to have multiple windows back in the day and it was a bit of a mess

So for the work spaces I setup, I did 1 for general, 2 for web browser, 3 for code editor, etc. I really liked that and it became muscle memory.

I’ve got a Mac for my job provided by work and I’ve done the same thing and setup workspaces in the same way. I use Ctrl+number to get to a space.

Might be worth an experiment setting up key binds to take you to a specific workspace. I think you’d like it! :)

Not sure, I copied the link from the share button on the mobile app

Found him when learning vim and watched a few of his twitch streams. Quite enjoy his takes on things. Not the biggest fan of this new reaction content but do occasionally watch ones related to the tech I use for the day job

We always have had em, they’re just on YouTube now too 😂

Is strange… In the video I linked, he said it apparently broke some repos. He also said that they could have at the very least added in jsdoc comments to keep types without requiring extra tooling.

It was for turbo

Yep, this. The code we write is eventually used or extended by other developers. Or, more commonly, yourself after not touching it for 6 to 12 months, by which point you’ll have forgotten all about your clever tricks. (Speaking from experience of course 😉)

All the time and I’ve been programming professionally for 10+ years.

You’ll always find a better way to do something, however, there’s nothing wrong with what you initially came up with as it’s easy enough to understand because you’ve named your variables well and your logic is easy to follow along with. I would say that is far more important than coming up with technically clever solution that may be harder for someone else to understand!

Just put everything into tables. That’s how we did it when I were a lad

Cool, didn’t know that! I usually use a distro hop as a fresh start to ignore my ever growing “to-read” folder 😂

No, I never bothered as I like to keep my work/personal stuff separate (on different machines)

I never had it disappear right enough… However, I ended up installing chrome after Firefox losing all my stuff twice.

Firefox is a snap package on Ubuntu and I had a similar thing happen where it would lose all my settings when it randomly updated.

You could try installing it as a PPA package: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04

I go on lemmy to laugh at memes, not to see pictures of myself. Did I open Instagram?

They’re both good but I’ve gotta say, I’ll not go back to a flat keyboard anytime soon.

Wouldn’t say that it particularly boosts speed. I had a fairly big speed drop while learning to adapt.

Everyone’s different but it took a month of using it all day as well as doing typing exercises to get up to 70wpm.

I did the switch to an ergo keyboard because I was having shoulder and wrist pain and it seems to have helped rather than cured.
