@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place

I'm a C#/.NET developer living on Ubuntu Linux.
I don't use Windows and certainly no Apple products. I build and deploy solutions for and on MCU's, SoC's, Desktops, Servers, Mobiles, etc....

For my job I spend nearly all my time inside VSCode, Godot, Blender, KdeNLive, etc...

I am not a game developer

This is not all the games.

A lot of boardgames. Heaps of them. The video just keeps going.

@golgaloth when do you have time to play them though?

Sounds like a bad joke joke but the EU governing council wants to once again legislate for it's 350 million citizens. According to @echo_pbreyer (EU parlamentarian) the legislation wants to force messengers to prevent users from sending images or videos unless they agree them to be scanned, AI-analyzed and potentially reported to police. They apparently want to bring it up for a council vote in two days and get it through parliament in June.

@pocketvj @delta @echo_pbreyer #deltachat does not provide any services, it's technically just an e-mail client. It'd be up to Outlook and GMail etc... to implement such scanning features. And as a user you could add on top of that by encrypting whatever images you send before you even paste them in deltachat. (People mentioned base64, but that's only the encoding, anyone can decode the data, but if that data is encrypted then those politicians still got nothing)

@compl4xx @pocketvj @echo_pbreyer @delta we don't need app stores to distribute software. Anyone can build the source code and there's a millions ways to distribute apps. And anyone could still add layers of encryption even before your data hits delta. It's an endless cat and mouse game.

@delta @echo_pbreyer This is insane. But more often than not laws are made by people who don't understand how shit really works

Any UI/UX designers here who use https://penpot.app/. What are you thoughts on it?

This is like the best thing since #visio way back in the day.

I'm not sure if there's even a better alternative.

(For some reason I still know it as draw.io though)

@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@AngryAnt By the way, diagrams.net is available as an offline application for Linux, Windows and MacOS. I always use the offline version but sometimes I need customers to quickly draw something for me and then I give them the online link.

@AngryAnt I'll take a look, thnx!

While developing firmware I really love to use terminal applications to debug the firmware/hardware.
As a developer I get access to this amazing library: Spectre.Console https://spectreconsole.net/
It takes care of almost everything you could possibly want of a console app

delegatevoid,
@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@AngryAnt I've used Terminal.Gui as well. Also very nice. It's more difficult to use but even more powerful if you want to build full-blown applications. Terminal.Gui is of the many gifts its author has given the open source community.

@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Am I the only one who thinks #discord is just one giant mess in which almost everything gets lost in the noise. How did we come to this situation where everyone relies on this single, centralized chat service?

@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@AngryAnt Can't get on Matrix here, blocked by DPI.

delegatevoid,
@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@AngryAnt yes, like #rocket.chat or even #irc, but more and more open source projects, including #godot rely on #discord which is not accessible for a very very large part of the human population....

@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@AngryAnt it's frustrating :D

@AngryAnt Deep Packet Inspection, as soon as it looks like a certain protocol it gets blocked.
Sometimes you can get lucky, it'll work for 20 minutes and then... finished. Right now the only thing that works consistently is delta, since it just uses imap/smtp which is not something anyone wants to block if they want to remain economically relevant.

What's a good #music app to replace #rhythmbox on #ubuntu that fits right in with #gnome ?

delegatevoid, to GNOME
@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Migueldeicaza Can I ask you something?
Last we spoke, I was still a teenager and you were at Ximian supporting #gnome. You then went to #microsoft and now you've ended up on the #apple side of all places? Isn't apple like the least open of all? Is the user experience really that much better or are there other driving factors (And I ask this with the utmost respect for everything you have done for the industry) I'm just really wondering). You must have your reasons.

One of my kids wants to learn how to program. No problem, first thing, before anything else: version control (with #git). #programming

delegatevoid, to windows
@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I'm not a fan of #windows but I am jealous of its ability to run #android apps. I'm surprised #linux doesn't have a compatibility layer similar to #wsl (at least that I know of).
All I know for now is #anbox which seems to be abandoned (?) and Waydroid which I can't use yet becuase #wayland just doesn't work for me. Any ideas?

@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Been using since the very first releases but now with them forcing on us I may finally have to look for an alternative. Just not sure what that would be. (A modern deb based GNOME desktop)
