About 30 days.

If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it? in c/[email protected]

I don't know if you game. If you do you'll love this Project Zomboid it's exactly what your describing. It's so fun.

I just distro hopped after using a distro almost a year. Is it normal? in c/[email protected]

UBlue is a tool the fedora team created to build immutable distros in a container. This is a list of official distros created by it. If you've seen Bazzite it was also created with UBlue.

Immutable distro just means the root filesystem is mounted read-only. So when you do updates, they create another image of your filesystem with the updates applied. Then you have to boot into the new filesystem. This is called an atomic upgrade. So if something is broken, you reload your last image and everything is fine.

Variety is the spice of life. I've used Slackware, Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, Nix, been on Debian the last few years. Been looking at setting up my own UBlue image. I really like the immutable thing. Do whatever makes you happy..

I use Ryujinx https://flathub.org/apps/org.ryujinx.Ryujinx on my steam deck. It mostly works.

Also if you don't already know. Emudeck https://www.emudeck.com/ will install any emulator you want.

What project are you working on? in c/gamedev

No, not yet sorry. I'll try to make some posts here, once it's a bit more fleshed out.

I'm creating a bullet heaven. It will have incremental, and tower defense elements. The big feature is that users will create their own bullet patterns from BulletML scripts. Those bullets will interact with the world and NPCs in different ways. For example you shoot fireballs over grass, it's gonna set it on fire, and turn into a tile of dirt.

How would you process the fact that a new friend of yours is a cop? (USA) in c/[email protected]

[–] arality 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't know if this will help or not. I came across this video a while ago. It's a former cop describing what they deal with. I'm ACAB too, but they are still people being exploited just like us. The system is what we should be directing our anger towards. https://youtu.be/_nl5zMIwcmQ?si=mbAwDWi6vjGx3Njz

Recipe ideas for Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)? in c/[email protected]

[–] arality 4 points 2 months ago

So there's another thing called soy curls, which are similar to tvp. They come in a bunch of different shapes. Which can be handy for emulating different meat cuts. Just rehydrate them in whatever kinda broth/stock you want beef, chicken, veggie. I love to fry up an onion, and a poblano then drop in my tvp/curls. Add your favorite taco spices and enjoy some delicious tacos.

I don't have a CS education, why would it be anything other than [[nodiscard]]?
