even all of that hype about memory safety and borrow checker you keep hearing aside, the actual coolest thing about Rust is how it does Traits instead of classes and that you can bind arbitrary data to enums

no, you read that correctly, theres currently 2 billion people in the US prisons :p

holy hell

the Niagara launcher is still the only app I’ve bought on Play Store, and I’ve been very happy with it for maybe 5-6 years now

Its this one: https://github.com/k-blo/rainfall c:

sending a notification to you just in case, explanation in the neighbor comment :v

thank you! seems someone else already tagged you, but here’s the link to source just in case: https://codeberg.org/aketawi-study/rust-constellation-bgr/

The basic idea is that I spawn a bunch of nodes with rando m velocitins and check the distance between each other at every frame. If the distance is within a certain radius, draw a line.

To display it in the background I just have a script that launches it on startup, and a couple of rules in AwesomeWM and picom to make it transparent, unfocusable and borderless

oh I think I’ve come across that yeah. not a fan of them personally, so not something that I would notice lol

mhm

all of the fancy features that other terminals provide, I get with Tmux, so any emulator for me. I like transparent themes and that’s easy to set up in Alacritty, so that’s what I usually get

thats not kerning, that’s justification ☝️🤓️

kerning refers to the spacing between individual letters in the words, and justification is a method of typograghic alignment where space between words is stretched to make text flush with both left and right margins

I’ve been using Niri with Xwayland-satellite lately, and it works as a charm. it works out of the box, and you simply run it in background, and launch your X programs with DISPLAY=:0

far as I’ve heard, Mint can be iffy fhen it comes to games, mostly because they use an outdated kernel. I can also recommend something like Endeavor if the gamer in question has any knack for tech, or Nobara, which is made specifically for gaming by GloriousEgg, maintainer of ProtonGE

pedancy talk aside this is like the most inconsistent rule in all of writing hahhah

even the oxford comma is less debated than punctuation in quotes

Punctuation goes inside of quotes, “like this.”

there is something very satisfying about running pacman -Syu at the end of the day and watching it update the repos, give you a neat list of packages to be upgraded, then see them downloading over all your threads with that little chomp chomp pacman animation, disappearing one by one, or a bunch at once, and then at the end it runs the hooks and you see that [1/23] fill up all the way to [23/23] in the span of a minute…

It’s like popping bubble wrap, but you have 8 hands and 8 bubble sheets and never try to pop the tame bubble twice

There is also the lesser known, but quintessential space game: Space Rangers (GOG). It takes a little figuring out, since it’s a Russian game from 2003 (and a successor of the 1999 game) and they kind of tend to be obtuse like that; but, its genuinely the coolest space sandbox I’ve played. It’s kind of a space Mount and Blade: you can fight aliems, you can trade, you can be a mercenary, or a pirate, and the game accomodates for all of that. At whim, it switches between the core X4-esque gameplay to an RTS, or to a text quest, some of which are basically an entire game of their own. The English translation is a little spotty, but it’s good enough.

Mandalore made a video about it some time ago.

It’s also got a ton of mods! Though not all of them have translations.

I’ve definitely seen both opinions, but mostly leaning negative in my experience. Might just be confirmation bias though lol

Basically lul

Likely cuz Brody is widely considered to be obnoxious and sensationalist, and his videos range from being only surface level to just straight up wrong
