This is my self promotional alt, to share my programming projects and some stuff I like that are uncontroversial.

Contributing is what you do to other people’s projects once you are done making your own stupid things, and feel confident you will improve rather than ruin other people’s stuff.
The problem is, things never feel like they are complete. There’s always more you can do.
I might do some contribs to lichess once I am done with my current stuff.
Shameless plug : I recently finished a longterm project :

hey, when you’re used to GUIs, the install finishes and you’re staring at a command line with no idea how to get started with the desktop, yeah it’s “the hard way”.
It’s not hard, but you have to know WTF is going on. It surprised me when I got sent to the command line after reboot, I lucked out because I changed DE while I was distro hopping so knew how to install from apt.
Debian, not a bad idea but where I live I have shared wireless only, so I’d have to install the wireless drivers manually using my phone to search for advice. Not even sure how that’d go. Easier if I had ethernet.
I installed through wireless. you just set it up as part of the installation process.
I love things like this, makes it so easy to learn when it’s a really simple to understand and explicit implementation of a high level feature (read input, pass to command)

4·3 months agoI loved the faction angle for GTA2 , alongside the improved controls. I want to make a game inspired off it as one of the creative projects I’m trying to work on.

6·8 months agoif you hate JS and think it’s dumb, but still have to use it, look into Eloquent Javascript (free) https://eloquentjavascript.net/ and the mozilla docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript.
Eloquent JS is written by someone who also hates JS, but understands it very well.
I used them while I worked on the Microtonal Music Grid (still in progress)
I always pronounced it Four-yey

great work, it actually reminded me of High Castle Teleorkesta , whose members are heavily influenced by mr bungle…
