przmk··on Understanding the Odin Programming Language
Not prioritizing tools is a mistake imho. I'd argue it helps a lot with adoption and you end up with useful tools.
przmk··on Itch.io Taken Down by Funko
What does that have to do with the official itch account posting there? How would your seemingly personal beef with Bluesky impact the credibility of that?
przmk··on Improving Xwayland window resizing
For what it's worth, the latest 1.10 release of sway introduced support for IME popups. Maybe that would help
przmk··on Bitwarden SDK relicensed from proprietary to GPLv3
Where did you manage to find "normal people" that begged you to install a password manager for them? I have yet to come across one person who wanted one.
przmk··on PC modder removes annoying PSN account requirement for God of War Ragnarök
I don't have 123 accounts, frequently delete unused accounts and send GDPR requests for websites that won't comply. And I know people who also refuse to play something because of a shitty account requirement. But I agree that it's certainly a minority.

I don't get the argument of the risk though: by adding a PSN account requirement, all you bring is bad press with 0 added value. On top of that, you do that for a game that was already released years ago, sold well and was well liked. It's not exactly a major risk to expand it to the PC platform.

I just hope that one day it becomes illegal for companies to add unnecessary requirements like that.

przmk··on PC modder removes annoying PSN account requirement for God of War Ragnarök
What is wrong with protesting ridiculous anti consumer practices? What is the point of requiring a mandatory 3rd party account to play a SINGLE player game? Or crappy launchers that do absolutely nothing except prolonging the start of the game?
przmk··on Show HN: Ki Editor – Multicursor syntactical editor
"Qui" (pronounced ki) also means "who" in French. I wonder if they're related.
przmk··on Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
This only targets Gtk3 and not Gtk4 or libadwaita though. Seems a little end-of-life.
przmk··on How Africans are changing French, one joke, rap and book at a time
Flemish is definitely not a separate language and nobody considers it so, even in Belgium.
przmk··on Proton Mail gets a desktop app for encrypted email and calendar
That's strange. It's by far the snappiest, modern IM app that I've used.
przmk··on Proton Mail gets a desktop app for encrypted email and calendar
Telegram Desktop is fortunately not an electron app. It's Qt.
przmk··on Bevy 0.12
There's an unofficial complement to the docs that covers a lot of different topics here: https://bevy-cheatbook.github.io/introduction.html
przmk··on Bevy 0.12
Not the author but there's a Bevy Editor on the roadmap.
przmk··on German court prohibits LinkedIn from ignoring "Do Not Track" signals
They are? Sure doesn't stop people from randomly dropping garbage ads in your mailbox.
przmk··on Arc Browser 1.0
It's really hard to see why would anyone use it. At least epiphany is getting a lot of new features.
przmk··on AMD Ryzen 7 7840U Performance Benchmarks on Linux
If I want something sleek, not awfully hideous, 13" screen but with relatively good performance? Everything BUT a gaming laptop.
przmk··on The hidden cost of air quality monitoring
That's interesting. How does that work? Since July 2021 (iirc), customs fees are mandatory for every single purchase made out of the EU.
przmk··on The hidden cost of air quality monitoring
I had my eyes on some AirGradient kits but it seems like you can't buy them in the EU directly and, unfortunately, customs fees are way too high for it to get shipped. Does anyone know where I could find them or if there are other open alternatives?
przmk··on Functional Programming in Coq
Well, there's more to the world than just the Anglosphere. De Cock is also a popular surname in France and Belgium.
przmk··on Functional Programming in Coq
Coq means rooster in French and is not used as an insult or an euphemism for the penis at all. It's also what's on the logo.
przmk··on Welcome Lemmy.world
It depends. I think a link aggregator needs that much density. The Reddit re-design makes it look like 9GAG and prioritizes mindlessly scrolling through memes.
przmk··on Building a Slack/Discord alternative with Tauri/Rust
In my experience, dynamically typed languages come with poor tooling support. Auto-complete, for example, does not work very well among other things.
przmk··on On the road to KDE Plasma 6
That's just your opinion. Some of us prefer Gnome and work with it every day without any issues.

There were a lot of inconsistencies and things missing (OOTB at least) that drove me away from KDE such as your system remembering your SSH key or being able to just connect to nextcloud and have it sync your files and calendar directly.

przmk··on YunoHost – Operating system aiming to simplify server administration
I've been using this for a few years, mainly for Nextcloud, Matrix and a few other services. It's been a great experience, I can't say I've ran into any major issues so far. Updates can be slow sometimes but nothing to be really concerned about.
przmk··on Use GNU Emacs
I have to use the laptop that my company gave me. I can't even use the OS I want, I'm stuck with Windows. On top of that, the VPN, antivirus and other garbage running in the background make the laptop really slow. It sometimes take 20 min for it to properly boot and be in a usable state.
przmk··on How to use your DSLR from 2008 as a webcam in 2022 (NixOS)
There is DroidCam which works with an Android phone and Linux. The set-up is straightforward and it works great.

przmk··on Panic Playdate In-Depth Review
The Steam Deck works really well, I've had no issue with it whatsoever. I fail to see how it's comparable to a niche product like the PlayDate.
przmk··on YouTube TV removed from Roku channel store amid Google contract dispute
But this lacks a nice and clean UI to watch Youtube, Netflix, etc. I wouldn't want to control a browser displayed on a TV with a wireless keyboard.

przmk··on Valve's Proton Has Enabled 7000 Windows Games on Linux
You could also use [Protontricks](https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks) as such :

  protontricks -s <search_term>
and it will return anything that matches the search query with its appid like :

  Found the following games:
  Grand Theft Auto V (271590)
