not professionally at all
Having an announcement in the first place is more professional than what you get from many companies.
Thanks for your work!
That programming as a career means you're going to spend writing nice, clean code 80% of the time.
It's rather debugging code or tooling problems 50% of the time, talking to other people (whether necessary or not) about 35% of the time and the rest may be spent on actually spending time doing the thing you actually enjoy.
I may be exaggerating, but only a little.
Official Release Page for those who don't want to read the Phoronix article: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/releases/1.0.0
It's great to see that Pipewire has reached this milestone. Personally I've been using it since 0.3.35 for very basic audio needs and it's been a very smooth transition. After installation I never had to tinker with it anymore. "It just works"^TM^
Bash script. Not necessarily hard to understand but very unintuitive in my opinion. I've written so much bash script over the years and still have to look up how to do simple things like iterate over associative arrays or do basic string manipulation. Maybe it's just a me problem though 🤷
I guess pirates don't result in additional costs for the developer from dealing with support tickets or other forms of customer care 🤷
You should technically be able to run the exe with proton (assuming, you're talking about Windows games). Maybe Steam does some extra work like setting certain environment variables (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton#runtime-config-options for a list).
Or you could just run non-steam games through Steam
GPG is probably the most commonly used one. If you want something with a slightly less awkward command line interface, you could try sequoia-pgp.
Found this in the source code, lol
The pace at which you release new updates is very impressive. I hope you guys don't put too much pressure on yourselves and burn out.
But anyways, thank you so much for the effort you pour into Jerboa. It makes using Lemmy a real joy!
I regularly use OSM data through Organic Maps (mostly for larger European cities). The app is really polished and is a joy to use. So far I'm not missing any features from Google Maps.
I've also updated some faulty business hours for some restaurants so I guess I've contributed back.
E: With the recent developments in the world of free online services (YouTube blocking ad-blockers, Google lying to their customers about its TrueView ads, Twitter rate limiting free access, the Reddit API fiasco), I wonder how much longer we can take free services like Google Maps for granted. Having an open alternative may become even more important in the future.
I haven't used numlock in years but I remember that for certain games that you played with the arrow keys, I preferred to use the arrows on the numpad instead of the dedicated ones.
And according to Wikipedia, the reason why numlock exists in the first place is the fact that certain keyboards didn't have dedicated arrow keys, but did have a numpad. I guess numlock on full-sized keyboards is just a relic that keyboard manufacturers are schlepping around because it's cheap enough to produce and doesn't really hurt 🤷
Ignorance is bliss after all
