I'm not a huge fan of Flatpaks, they're a lot harder to distribute offline versus something like AppImage. Seriously, you have to like create an offline repository, then create a bundle, and it's like 6 or 7 steps, it's honestly kind of ridiculous lol but other than that they seem fine, and they're easy enough to update (but so are apt packages)

I know some people may say "oh why do you need that", but Linux has taught me that my computer is my own, and I should be able to use it the way I want to. I shouldn't have to fight with my package manager to get it to do what I want. So I guess you could say, no I'm not really a fan of Flatpaks.

Personally, I didn't mind Snaps, but I'm getting kind of really fed up with especially for-profit companies etc so I don't like Snap that much now either.

Apt packages are nice, but the more of them you have installed, especially if you're using Ubuntu-based distros and have lots of PPAs, the more annoying upgrading your distro version can be because of all the dependencies and cross-dependencies.

AppImage tends to just work for me, as long as it's not compiled with a newer libc-bin version than the distro I'm currently using has, and I really enjoy that it's just one file I can copy and run pretty much anywhere.

I definitely agree that this is interesting, this was a great read!

Yeah, they didn't want to moderate them so they just removed the functionality entirely. The one thing that website had going for it lol

If anyone trusted Crunchyroll after they removed comments and reviews, it's honestly kind of their fault, as much as I hate victim blaming. They have shown who they are time and time again, it's not hard to believe them.

Though, I think anyone in this community very likely already knows exactly who they are.

Yep, I've experienced both, although I do admit that I prefer working from home...

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

If you want a computer programming job with them then yeah definitely.

People who are pro-AI seem so weird and dystopian, people who are anti-AI seem logical and reasonable, but my employer requires us to use AI, and I've even been forced to work on multiple AI projects recently. It does seem it's unavoidable unfortunately, but honestly Copilot has given me some of the most useful autocompletions I've ever had, especially for tedious things like logging, and I've had good luck with ChatGPT assisting with tedious things as well like writing both scaffolding and queries. Considering all of that, I'm torn on AI. I am afraid of the consequences of AI, the fallout of all of it, but I also do find AI/LLMs useful in my day-to-day job and I'm required to use them for my day-to-day job as well.

Yeah I was a bit surprised too, they even told me how well I did during the interview and how I was getting stuff right that most of their candidates get wrong, and they made it seem like I should expect an offer from them. I think the dealbreaker was that I hadn't worked with message brokers before.

It's Nintendo, did people really expect anything else?

I made it to the final round of interviewing with them a couple years ago. I think it would have been interesting to work for them. They have PHP and even some Laravel in their stack.

Older games are better plus gamers can play all our existing games.

Give me a call when they’re in the bargain bin years from now.

If they're still functional, thankfully there's the Stop Killing Games movement.
