Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    The helldivers 2 developers, for whatever reason

    probably because it uses the Autodesk Stingray engine which, this is more interesting than the Lua usage. It's a dead engine for long while but I'm surprised to find people who still just use it.

    also Subnautica

    [–] SomGye@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

    Also CoronaSDK users for making Android games back in the day

    Lua is awesome, I added some scripting to toggle replay buffer on OBS and to save recording from buffer then restart the buffer. IE: Save last 10-15 minutes of gameplay.

    Very cool to do it in Lua.

    [–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

    Lua is awesome

    It literally is

    [–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

    Me, an XPlane boi. Quietly flying with my Lua scripts.

    [–] klu9@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

    Conky users?

    Luanti designers too.

    [–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    To my surprise, I just found out that my favorite e-books launcher was entirely developed with Lua.

    Since y'all love LUA so much, what's it's advantage over things like micropython?
