Cable isn’t the same as OTA but from a viewer standpoint they’re both live TV. Live TV in the US is basically unwatchable unless you really like sports or 24/7 news commentary (even then live news is usually also available through phone apps) and don’t mind being interrupted by ads every 2 minutes.

Anything else is better watched with torrents/piracy streaming sites. They don’t stop the show to serve some random combination of medicine, home insurance, and car ads.

Have you had issues setting hotkeys in KDE? I’m using NixOS on my laptop and for some reason the shortcuts I add all reset on logouts/shutdowns

Didn’t it get revealed that anyone who used a certain Linux forum got automatically added to an FBI surveillance list? Everyone here is definitely already on a list lol

Edit: it was the NSA, not the FBI: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/07/the-nsa-thinks-linux-journal-is-an-extremist-forum/

Edit 2: for clarity, that article is from 2014 so it isn’t exactly recent but if they were doing it in 2014 they probably still do something similar now.

Suyu is technically still being developed but whether or not anything comes out of that is a completely different story. The few devs left are unfamiliar with the code (all the yuzu contributers left out of legal fear) and have super ambitious goals (they want to do a rewrite because the original code was allegedly based off of a leaked Nintendo SDK) so it’s unlikely it’s going to get anywhere.

I’m hoping Ryujinx forks that pop up after this have more success. I am glad that Citra survived the Yuzu crossfire though, Lime3DS seems to be doing well.

There are a few libraries we’re using that stopped being developed after Angular ~9-10 and one we use extensively with breaking changes between 10-12. Updating to 8 wasn’t too bad but for some reason Angular’s update tool didn’t actually do anything so I had to update the package.json manually and fix stuff by hand (luckily the only change was fixed with a bulk find/replace)

To me at least angular makes a bit more sense than React’s way of doing things does. React tries to be functional with its components and yet it seems like they end up basically trying to mimic classes with useState and useEffect. To me Angular’s class-based approach makes a bit more sense (though I am primarily interested in backend development more than frontend so that could be why)

It does kind of fall into a lot of the traps of Object-Oriented programming though so I can see why a lot of people don’t like it

You know neovim can use the exact same LSPs (Language Server Protocol) for intellisense as VS Code right? There’s intellisense, git integration, code-aware navigation, etc. Neovim can be everything VS code is (they’re both just text editors with plugins), except Neovim can be configured down to each navigation key so it’s possible to be way more efficient in Neovim. It’s also faster and more memory edficient efficient because it isn’t a text editor built on top of a whole browser engine like VS Code is.

I use a Neovim setup at home (I haven’t figured out how to use debugger plugins with Neovim and the backend I work on is big enough that print debugging endpoints would drive me insane) and I can assure you I have never given variable names one letter unless I’m dealing with coordinates (x, y, z) or loops (i, j) and usually in the latter scenario I’ll rename the variable to something that makes more sense. Also, we don’t do it to seem hardcore, it’s because there are actual developer efficiency benefits to it like the ones I listed above.

By your own logic you “can’t be bothered” to learn how to edit a single config file on a text editor that has existed in some form for almost 50 years (vi). Stop making strawman arguments.
