System themes, probably most of them work. But most of them don’t bother watching the user themes or icons folder.

I don’t think Flatseal is that useful for the majority of users, no. But it is a good tool to have in mind when the need arises.

It is mostly trial and error. I use it mostly to set envvars.

As an example, I add the ~/.themes folder and the GTK_THEME to allow some apps to get the themes I downloaded.

About the image: The joke’s on you, I install my flatpaks via the terminal.

I’ve started using flatpaks more after starting using Bazzite and I liked them more than I expected. As a dev, I still need my work tools to be native, but most of my other needs are well covered by flatpaks.

Tip: Flatseal is a great config manager for flatpaks’ permissions.

I remember seeing somewhere that you can know the handedness of an elephant by looking at its tusks. The smaller tusk is the one that is used the most.

Em dúvida se o pior pra mim é anime bom sem continuação ou não ter com quem conversar sobre anime.

I used to 17 when I was in my hometown (tropical beach city).

Now is mostly 1 and 2, with 20 occasionally

I love the fact that “Ninja Cat” was used as a mascot for Windows 10 Insiders back in the day. Makes the meme even better to me.

Nope. They didn’t catch me.

The same way they’ll react if someone is right about the Earth being flat.

There is a Mastodon frontend with a Tinder-like interface: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/fedimatch/id6503460577

What an episode, my friends. I have no words to describe how I’m feeling.

Dang it…

How about a Gameboy? I mean… It has a printer.

Oh, for sure!

I did see lots of youtube videos using theese handhelds as “gaming pcs”, or from someone whose main workflow is office work… I’m having a hard time find any article about general development. At max, I did find some reddit comments saying they use a Steam Deck for gaming dev, which makes a lot of sense if the Deck is the target.

To really succeed as a developer, I’ve sometimes needed to be willing to make risky changes to my development machine, that I’m not willing to do to my gaming machine.

My plan is to install BazziteOS (Fedora Silverblue derivative) on the device to have a “stable” OS with all the dev environment on distrobox containers or something like that.

I’m not sure if it’s going to work, though.

I’d strongly recommend against it. Nothing to do with specs or viability but psychologically you’ll want to play games - they’re enjoyable.

This is my main concern, if I’m being completely honest.

But that also applies the other way arround. I’m a bit of a workaholic, so most of the time I open my current notebook on the sofa I start to code. Having a device without a physical keyboard may stop me from on working outside my workroom or coding during vacations, for example.

It is 24GB of RAM (12 GB x 2), but from my research, 8GB are dedicated to video memory. So it leaves 16GB “usefull” for development.

Also, display is not a concern as my monitor is 1080p.

Finally a character teaser that’s not all about sorrow, pain and suffering!

Now I’m wanting to play we her

A few things I really liked about this episode:

First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the “Fediverse is not only Mastodon”, but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our “bubble”.

Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @emilyyoung@tech.lgbt go follow her). But Emily always was the “weird person that uses Linux” in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using “alternative social media”. Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn’t get the “Fediverse vibe” from him. Which is good. Very good.

Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.

Jakob, I have a feeling you’re reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.

I also started on a very small company. Worked there as Junior developer for about 3 years. I was on the same spot as you are right now. One day, I received a call from a friend who started working on a bigger company in a different state (I live in Brazil), saying they were hiring. I figured I could at least try their technical tests to see where should I improve.

So I applied for the junior position. They thought my test solution was good, so I got to the interview phase. To my surprise, the interview was not for the junior position, but for the medior one (don’t know the correct term, but higher than junior but lower than senior), and receive the job proposal on the next week.

I agree with @MagicShel@programming.dev’s comment: “you need exposure to other environments, other ideas, other technologies and frameworks in order to grow”. And it goes both ways. Without testing yourself, you’ll never know how much you did grow and where you are.

So, my advice to you is: do not wait until you feel “ready” to do the move. It may “click” too late. If you want to move on, just do it. At least you will test yourself, and know how to correct your course, if you need to aim higher ou lower than originally intended.
