What distro do you use and why?
  • 'Toy' feels strange to me here. It's more of a just-works vs power-tool distinction. Sometimes people like tools that require you to RTFM because the deeper understanding has concrete benefits; it's not just fun. User-friendliness is not all upside, it is still a tradeoff.

    You're absolutely right about hurting new users by not making the destinction, whatever label is used.

  • What distro do you use and why?
  • This is one of the little things I love about Gentoo. It's rolling, but not bleeding edge.

    Plus, you can opt into bleeding edge either per package or for all packages. It's honestly a flexibility that doesn't even require a source-based distro, so Arch could do it too.

  • Ayy, Pomo Post is super cute! Cool to bump into a dev on Lemmy.

    I love that the Playdate is inspiring people to make tools that are also beautiful and fun like a good toy. The whole system makes me just plain happy :)

  • Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.

    I use mine just about every day, I've been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I'm excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I've gotten out of it. But, that doesn't really help anybody else, I know.

    It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I've played start-to-finish more than once.

  • Drag didn't do that...
  • I totally get respecting specific pronouns, no confusion there.

    I don't see how the scenario presented in OP is different from wanting to be referred to in the third person.
