2024: The Year Linux Dethrones Windows on the Desktop – Are You Ready?
  • Ah yes, this year is definitely the year of the Linux desktop. For real this time!

  • It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox
  • How is this going to end?

    Google blocks access to it's services for Firefox altogether? Maybe even ban it from the Play Store? That would finally give me a real incentive to install some CFW.

  • I love Kotlin

    ...but I hate that you can practically only use it with IntelliJ. Trying to use it with just Gradle and vscode is such a pain and maybe even impossible to get anything more than basic syntax highlighting. That is all.

    I only get 82% :( How much do you get?
  • RMS approves

  • I can stop anytime I want!
  • I use Kubuntu in mostly default configuration. Am I special or a normie?

  • Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users
  • Is it an unofficial reddit client? How are they getting around the API prices? Webscraping?

  • I tried only Jerboa and that's what I stuck with. It loads fast and has every feature I want. Compare that to the official Reddit app, which is a slog on even high end devices. Seriously, what are they doing that it loads SO SLOW?

  • Google is ruining the entire web
  • It's already too late. Google has a monopoly on the browser market. Do you think your regular normie would continue to use Firefox if Netflix, Instagram, TokTok etc. don't work anymore?

    There is nothing we can do. The internet of old is already lost.

  • I was starting to think I was using LLMS wrong but you perfectly summarized my situation.

  • Inm looking at you Typescript dev
  • That's why I kinda don't like Python and JavaScript anymore. Every time I want types for a library it's gonna take me time to get it working. For every serious project I do, I use a strongly typed language.

  • Be wary my friends, for we are on the path to glory
  • Can corporations fuck it up if they want to? Couldn't we just migrate to a new instance and not federate? Or not federate with them from the beginning?

  • The keyboard
  • Thanks!

  • Every time
  • Tbh thats part of the reason I like to take many small amounts and spread them out over the year instead of few big chunks. This probably changes once you have kids I guess.

  • Interview at AWS Code Commit team
  • I tried to download a repository as a zip file but you can't do that in code commit. That's a problem in a big corp environment, where getting your local git credentials to work with codecommit is actually a very big hassle.

  • The difference is that this is an open source community driven effort. Reddit is a for profit business. On that basis, I give Lemmy a lot more leeway when it comes to bugs. Reddit just turned into a slog over the last few years BECAUSE they try to monetize it to death.

  • Good tech podcasts

    What are some good tech related podcasts you can recommend? I've listened a lot to Darknet Diaries but lately, I've found it to become less and less interesting as he mostly just interviews some pentesters.

    My current role includes a lot of DevOps and infrastructure on AWS and some software development. Bonus points if the podcast focuses on that but I'll check out everything tech related you can recommend.

  • I only joined Lemmy yesterday and I plan on using both for now but this site and app are already a so much better experience without ads and everything loads lightning fast. And then I open reddit and I have to look at the spinning circle everytime I click on something. For some reason, it's even worse on desktop. That shit feels so unresponsive.

  • You could say I am a bit of a copy/paste expert..
  • I think this is how most people start but you gotta start somewhere right? This site helped me a lot: https://explainshell.com
