I just got off work and you're here bringing me back writing ptsd for that party of programmers

Tangentially related, but I've been feeling like perhaps we've been jumping the gun with Lemmy and Kbin...

Maybe it would have made more sense, at least from an interoperability statepoint, to make an activitypub User protocol that can be selfhosted easily. So instead of making a new account for each Lemmy or Kbin instance someone has, you can instead connect your activitypub account to it.

Additionally as I know hosting has been an increasing problem around here, perhaps it would have been better to make instances single focused message boards ( i.e. just political humor, just animemes, just 196 etc.) So that the instance host can more easily manage moderation and hosting costs without ballooning things they might not necessarily care about to also be hosted by them.

This is just idle musings though, I'm not sure of how the community would be receptive to such thoughts.

I'm currently in dependency hell trying to compile a zip formatted react native program I've been given

If you want to use python, you could try Flet. I've been using it for some projects at work and it's dead simple to create an acceptable UI and the docs are very easy to read through with frequent examples. In July they added support for Android and iOS via progressive web apps, I haven't tried it out yet, but it seems interesting so I might start a project in it soon...

I've been having fun with it, if that's worth anything!

Otherwise, depending on your phone I'd just do native code with Kotlin + jetpack compose for Android or Swift + swiftUI for Apple. I always greatly preferred android development in school but once jetpack compose and swiftUI came out I find them both to be about the same level of enjoyment.

All three of those options are all declarative (describe how you want it to look in code) and I find it much easier to deal with than iOS storyboards or Android xmls.

Bethesda was only the publisher for Doom, Id software were the developers.

I don't think I've ever seen one of these o:

So it's like a hallway for wires and the bars can pass them through should you not want to go the whole length?

This has always been the hardest part for me; the amount of technical information on Reddit is so valuable and trumps the rest of the Internet in it's esoteric specifics. It makes not looking through it's threads when I'm looking for specific information feel nigh impossible...

Skin cancer is when the sun convinces a cell to go with their totallynotapyramidscheme MLM; the cell, in turn, convinces other cells to join their pyram- I mean MLM.

Regression is when the MLM slips up and the cell police finally have enough evidence to take it down for the pyramid scheme that it is.

Bit flips occur when a posse of electrons loses an intimidation check to the sun.

I find this hilarious.

Mine are all named after mythological creatures. It started with my tower being named Cerberus because it had 3 red LED fans and then just kept up from there. Hydra, Thoth, manticore, chimera. I'm deploying Baba Yaga this week, and Ratatoskr will be up eventually
