OP needs to be asking for help with specific coding problems on there too as opposed to asking for a mentor like here because they’ll get the same response. Also reiterating what I said in my comment about IRC being more helpful provided you send them a pastebin.

Love my DS! Took a picture of some of my favourites for a mastodon thread earlier but will share here -

I’d just use the #rust IRC channel on libera.chat personally.

Edit: Maybe for the basics/boilerplate you could start with ChatGPT or another generative AI. Then if you have a specific question you could ask the enthusiasts on the IRC channel. IRC people are a lot more helpful than discord people in my experience.

Should also mention there is no substitute for a good textbook so maybe getting a PDF of an Intro to Rust type book would be a good idea as well.

I’m not convinced by your approach but I respect that you’ve put a lot of thought into it. I guess my main issue is that it seems some parents don’t think about it at all.

People need to understand that the internet is a public space. Family PCs should be in a shared space like the living room and kids need to have parental controls enabled on their smart phone. Beyond that, yeah people need to get thicker skins when it comes to social media (including steam in this).

I believe the Switch version does not require an online account either.

I also quite enjoyed Warrior Within but then again I liked Jak 2 as well. I wonder what happened in that “Shadow the Hedgehog” era to make all these good mascots go bad…

They get all the patches and minor upgrades in a timely fashion, similar to other distros. The major version updates do not come as readily though.

sqlite is exactly what you want. You can even load a CSV file directly into a new table. Everything is a string, it’s extremely fast and ubiquitous on moderns OS’s.

I really like my Series S as a budget console. Picked it up on eBay last year for £150 including shipping.

There were a handful of new games my PC couldn’t play well like Elden Ring so I picked it up for that. Have had a game pass subscription a couple of times, most recently to play Hellblade 2 but I never keep it for more than a month. In the future I’ll probably not use it given the recent price increases.

I had a family friend who worked as a midlevel dev at Rockstar 10 years ago and he was being paid £27k while crunching 100 hour weeks

Capcom have to have gotten an up front fee for porting it. This poor sales outcome is way too predictable for them to have bothered porting otherwise.

The OG Sims was the only game in the franchise with soul

His performance in the commons was the most impressive and I agreed with him on Brexit. At the same time those bullying allegations sounded credible and his response to critics was often unedifying.

Depends how interested you are in the infrastructure I suppose. Obviously it’s not essential for any project. I see a few that have both self hosted resources and additionally a Github mirror.

An advantage to the “old school” approach is that you don’t end up tied into a large SAAS platform like Github.

A server hosting a copy of the repo, git send-email, a mailing list and a bugzilla instance is all that an open source project really needs.

The advantage of github/gitlab et al. is that it merges all of the above functionality to one place, however it’s not absolutely essential. Git itself is extremely versatile and can be as useful as you are want it to be if you put in the time to learn it.

lol we used to call it Buttbucket at my old work where we used it. Should be a relatively easy product to deliver but Atlassian just couldn’t keep it up and bug free

Yeah you’ve got xorg running if graphics are being drawn, like windows or specifically windows with borders

I have also not beat it yet but was enjoying it more than Elden Ring (which I have also not finished).

I think Sekiro is still my personal favourite out of the games they’ve made. Dark Souls might edge it if I did a top 5 due to the nostalgia factor. Honorable mention to Bloodborne.

It is possible to watch movie files rendered in ascii with ffmpeg but I wouldn’t recommend it. Playing videos any other way requires a graphical interface.

Web browsing is possible with links, w3m and eww-mode on emacs.

You will struggle with school work. Eduroam is hard to connect to using the CLI for example.
