The next episode of our monthly chat + feedback thread.

No matter what topic, if you want to talk about it then just write it in a comment :)

Last month was uneventful for me, so I don't have a comment this time.

I am so glad to have swum into this new furry based Lemmy instance!

Welcome to our cozy little community; glad you found us :)
And please don't hesitate to create own posts about whatever Furry related. Being the one mostly flooding this comm gets a bit awkward with time ':D [this message is also for everyone who reads this comment]

I also voted today

Good and important action as a citizen ^^ Hope the US will develop back upwards in the future and that at least the bare minimum of justice is served.

I am taking a Python Certification course

Nice, learning programming can bring you many satisfying moments when a program or even better automation of tedious tasks work. ... after hours of cursing why the computer is doing what it is told and not what you want it to do :D
(me suppressing rant about Python and weakly typed languages in general)

Also coding never becomes less rickety, just rickety in a more sophisticated way.

Cyberpunk 2077

This week I noticed by accident that a new season of Edgerunners got released. I'm looking forward to watching it as I liked S1 (once I have the time for it ._. ).

Tried to install Gentoo Linux on my current solo laptop

Reminds me of when I was bored in online classes and started installing Gentoo in a VM. Took quite a while (because if Rust for Firefox) and in the end it didn't boot because I forgot to include the driver for the virtual disk in the kernel :D But I was able to change the type of virtual disk adapter and it did boot and run.

    I will do just that, just taking my time on getting acclimated, making myself known on the instance!

    It will take time to unbugger our current situation, decades likely but with constant effort and the will of the people working towards it. This issue will be solved and hopefully everyone in power responsible for this travesty in US Politics is going to be punished for their part.

    My hopes are that it is the gateway to other programming languages like C, that will allow me to work with my computer and tell it, "No, this is what I need you to do. I want to use Python for web stuff/interacting with HTML and C eventually. As I have plans to shore up my own WM or customize Sway more to my liking!

    This week I noticed by accident that a new season of Edgerunners got released. I’m looking forward to watching it as I liked S1 (once I have the time for it ._. ).

    Haven't watched the show, at all, but I hear decent things about it. I have only interacted with the Tabletop lore and Cyberpunk 2077 game itself! So, I am excited to try the new content for the game that is related to the Edgerunners animated series.

    At least you figured it out, I think Gentoo is going to be my final boss in terms of distros, once I have a PC that is strong enough to create a VM for Gentoo. I will practice in a virtual environment until I am comfortable doing an install on bare metal. As last time I tried, I got to kernel creation but...Failed. This time didn't even get past the Stage 3 as something was wonky AF. Dunno what, could've been anything.

    That sounds like very good motivations.

    But why exactly C and not a different low-level language like C++, Rust or Zig?

  • C is used as a basis for the Sway, the window manager I am using. I don't care for the syntax of C++, Zig is a bit TOO picky for me at the moment as a novice to be bothered with. That one can be a third language after learning C if I really see a need for it. I am ignoring Rust because one can already create memory safe code, it is just a matter of writing it into your code. Error handling and making sure it is graceful is an art. One that I plan on learning how to do without Rust.

    Ultimately, another reason why is because I can create my own modules and other dependencies for the things I plan to create. As...the sloppening in open source is here, and in order to fight it, I need to use a language that is flexible for writing your own dependencies and modules.
