Open Source@lemmy.ml•Welcome Dan Williams, new LibreOffice Developer focusing on UI/UX - The Document Foundation Blog
1·9 days agoAll you executives letting the developer do the designer’s job to cost saving is why we end users often get bad user experience in the first place.
Before you guys down vote on me or make more comments like this, know that there are lots of full-time user experience designers out there, who don’t know anything about programming. They don’t get paid for doing nothing.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Welcome Dan Williams, new LibreOffice Developer focusing on UI/UX - The Document Foundation Blog
86·11 days agoWhy do people keep saying “UI/UX”?
UI is user interface.
UX is user experience.
One is to be developed (with code), and the other is to be designed (in Figma for instance). They have very little overlap!
I mean, you can cross-compile to generate a Gentoo rootfs for the embedded system.
I worked on embedded systems for audio devices. I of course endorsed Alpine as well, but with musl as the C library I got weird bugs of stuttering audio output.
With Gentoo I get the option to build my entire system with musl as well, but I would rather have that bug not in my system. That’s what Gentoo offers: options.
By “LFS”, I think you mean Buildroot, practically. Buildroot is also highly customisable, but Buildroot isn’t a distro. Like LFS, there is no way yo update a system, only rebuilding with latest packages. It also does not have flags for the whole system, so you’re on your own if you want to disable, say IPv6, in the whole system.
Those things you listed are part of the fact, not all. Like saving 100kB. It does not matter in your 1TB hard drive, but it’s night and day in embedded systems. No benefit for you isn’t the same to no benefit.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What would be a valuable thing to have memorized by heart?
2·20 days agoIt’s not something you try to recite. You just do it so many times you became too good at it to look at the table.
Four bits can represent up to 15, from 0000 to 1111. Correspondingly, 0 to F in hex.
Binary from right to left is 1, 2, 4, 8.
One byte is eight bits. It takes eight digit places.
XXXX XXXX0000 0000 to 1111 1111
00 to FF
0 to 255

222·23 days agoIt’s more expensive than what it is really worth years ago, among many other problems. It was a cheap and reliable programming platform when it was Raspberry Pi 1.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•What's the best Online Alarm Clock that's also Open Source?
11·29 days agoIs this your post?
https://lemmy.ml/post/39086016You probably shall not ask the same question twice in such a short duration. It wastes server resource and reader’s time on duplicated material.
Have you tried searching on the internet? “Is there an open source alarm program” is not a question. It’s a query, which you should just input into Google and such. If it finds nothing good for you, we won’t either. We’re not better than search engines.
Imagine every one just makes a post with “Is there an open source XYZ program?” but with “XYZ” replaced with a random feature, this community would become a garbage collection site in one day. I’m sure that is not what you want to see either. Please don’t do that.
However, as a community, we’re happy to discuss a project that is already open source, or a closed source program about to get open sourced.
Writing your own program, and potentially if you’re considering making it open source? Great. There are programming communities too. Also try website like StackOverflow.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?
1·1 month agoIf you look at only the rating in number then the gaming industry suffers the same problem as the movie industry. You have to read in-depth review of it to determine the chance of you liking it.
People still talk about old movies twenty years ago. The original Hollow Knight is still being discussed by the community, especially now that Silksong is out, and the two stories connect. Gameplay-wise, Silksong has not only one, but six sets of play styles (crest). Imagine the contents to experience.
But of course you don’t have to experience all these if it’s not your cup of tea. Just saying you don’t have to invalid someone else’s preference.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Distro Recommendation Discussion (Not a 'What Distro Should I Use?' Post)
1·1 month agoI feel the same way, man. Every question of “What distro should I use after Windows 10 EOL?” is just generic to enough to be damned to hell. “Oh, but can it run Microsoft WordPhotoshop/AutoCAD/Steam?” Or, “I only use it to watch YouTube.”
How about finding a question that was already answered by others?
How about trying it out on a virtual machine or a secondary computer?
Face it. Your need isn’t that unique at all. You’re just a normal user like 90% of the remaining.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?
24·1 month agoI don’t care about the story, but when I played it when it was free on PS Plus, the gameplay is bad to me as I constantly get lost in the building. The protagonist has superpower but in the game it really doesn’t feel like so. I can throw stuff at enemies, then what? There is a fight where in the beginning I fight two or three enemies with guns, and it sucked because I don’t know where they are when I’m hiding behind cover. And taking two or three shots I’m dead. It’s a shitty FPS game in disguise of a Sci-Fi action game.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?
7·1 month agoOK, hyped, yes, but by who? I bet 90% of the people who hyped it and bought it ended up enjoying it. And that’s justified. Not over hyped. What OP was thinking of Silksong is probably media exposure.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?
311·1 month agoIt’s a momentum from early 2000s. Rockstar (or was it Take 2 by that time?) set a lower moral line in the gaming industry and published games like Man Hunt and GTA III, where you can commit crime without much consequences. The gaming experience was nouveau and a thrill.

3·1 month agoI’m not good at drawing but I’ll try.
8=Ô=======>
I draw in Krita and I am always using a tablet. The tablet has keys on it which can be bound to any key or key combination. I don’t feel the need to use the menu ever.
The tool bar can be and shall be customised to my own habit, therefore plugins to make it exactly like Photoshop also makes no sense to me.
