Every genre has genuine effortfully made games and also cash grabs. I feel like many monster catchers get subjected to undeservedly high levels of criticism because some people seem to think that Nintendo should get to own the entire genre. Pickmon imo is definitely a cash grab but there are many other monster catchers that aren’t.

Programming@programming.dev•I just tried vibe coding with ClaudeEnglish
20 daysVibe code bros aren’t real programmers. They’re business people, not computer people. Even if they have a CS degree, they only got that because they think it’ll get them more money. They lack passion and they don’t care about understanding anything. They probably don’t even care about what they’re generating beyond its potential to be used in a grift.
I graduated college not that long ago and my CS classes had quite a few former business majors. They switched because they think it’ll be more lucrative for them but since they only care about money they didn’t bother to actually learn the material especially since they could just vibe code through everything.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What hill are you willing to die on even if no one in your life agrees with you?English
2 monthsMy biggest pet peeve is people who scalp their lawns and spray shit all over it to make it green and kill the bugs. If it didn’t kill the buggies 'n stuff I wouldn’t care so much but I’d still think it’s dumb cause all they need to do is not mow so aggressively and plant some clover to fix the nitrogen. Like their lawn needs less maintenance not more. Stop fucking spraying shit all over your lawn please AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Should anybody trust Firefox again unless they put "we won't sell your data" back into the privacy policy? (Have they done so...? I can't tell.)English
2 monthsThat’s strange. I just tested it on my machine and it is still working so there must be something weird going on that makes it only work for some people. I am using Debian and have it installed with extrepo, perhaps it is an issue with a specific release?

2 monthsI use the latest version. I also have resist fingerprinting disabled and sync enabled. It’s been a while so I don’t quite remember but I think one or both of those might be required for it to work. I know resist fingerprinting disables a lot of stuff so for convenience I disable it and instead use a JS blocker.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Why is Debian always left out of the distro recommendations?English
3 monthsWhile Debian is my preferred distro, I wouldn’t reccomend it to others unless they are techy and don’t mind fiddling with things. I absolutely wouldn’t reccomend it to my grandma (I would reccomend her Mint though) and probably not to someone who just wants to play games, especially if they have an Nvidia card. I do game on Debian with a 3060, but it was cumbersome getting stuff working properly because of old drivers. I did get it working, but I think most people just want to play their games and not deal with that. I also have a nearly 10 year old laptop with Debian, and since it’s so old, everything does, “just work”, but I imagine most people aren’t also using the same 10 year old laptop.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thoughts on putting down elderly pets?English
5 monthsMy nearly 13 year old beagle was put down last week. I didn’t want to put him down and I cried for a long time both before and after. He had Cushing’s disease and he got to the point where he could no longer walk or stand. He stopped being interested in food and he stopped responding to his name and things happening around him.
If we didn’t put him down I don’t think he would have lived much longer and he probably would have died in pain. When dogs are euthanized they give them a sedative and he looked extremely peaceful before he passed away.
The way I see it is that everything has an end. It’s just a part of existence that you have to accept. While I am extremely sad that he passed away, I am also extremely happy that he existed and that he was my dog.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about.English
7 monthsDawg, I’m autistic and I’ve read it like 10 times and I still don’t understand what the bottom part means. Like if it’s meant for me it doesn’t make sense and it would make sense applied to OP but then why is it not a reply to OP?

7 monthsI guess I should be very ashamed of myself then. I got my license at 21. I’m now 22 and still a virgin. I’ve known for a long time that I move slower than others and I really don’t care. Like genuinely why do some people think having sex at a young age is like the most important thing ever?? Like why do you even care?

I make 'em look normal with one thing off. My current character is a breton with her eyes all the way big, all the way apart, and all the way down, but is otherwise normal.

Most of the roundabouts near me have the crosswalks right up by the circle, so you’d have to either stop on top of the crosswalk, or stop with it in front of you. If you stopped with the crosswalk behind you, you’d be in the circle.
And I do look at the circle ahead of time and will go if it is clear, but if it isn’t then I do stop, and it happens to take me longer to make a decision as to when I am good to go than most other people.
If I didn’t live in freedumb land, I wouldn’t drive, but driving is the only reliable option here.

I live in freedumb land so cars are the only reliable option. I’d love to use public transit, but doing so would require me to at least drive to a park and ride, and the bus system where I live is unreliable. I’d love to immigrate to a country that isn’t car brained, but I don’t have the resources.

I am car C. I don’t care if car D is pissed at me, because I have autism and driving is overwhelming for me. I’m being extra cautious because it takes me longer to process sensory input because I can’t filter out the irrelevant things. Plus, I always make sure to check the crosswalks. I as a pedestrian have come very close to being hit while crossing multiple times and it seems most other drivers don’t give a shit about pedestrians at all.

Damn I had no idea even people as experienced as you were having a tough time. I’m a new grad and I spent two years searching for an internship and found nothing. I got two interviews at one company but they chose someone else. I’m making projects (currently teaching myself spring boot rn) and I’ve had a professional look over my resume and still nothing. Shit sucks right now :(

Programming@programming.dev•JetBrains sunsets another product citing lower than expected adoption ratesEnglish
1 yearThe article says they are making a plug-in.
Instead of a standalone product, JetBrains is pushing Aqua’s functionality into the Test Automation plugin. This plugin is available for JetBrains’ more established IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm, and WebStorm.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is running Librewolf without disabling fingerprinting worth it?English
1 yearUse this website to check if your fingerprint resisting is actually effective. Even when using librewolf, I still had a unique fingerprint. So I installed NoScript to fix that issue, and then I disabled resist fingerprinting since it wasn’t really benefitting me.










I graduated last year. I’ve sent out hundreds of applications and still nothing. Had a few interviews in the first few months but haven’t gotten anything since. I just do odd jobs while working on my own stuff like game dev. I feel like it’s gonna be at least a few years before the job market recovers. Once the AI bubble pops they’re going to be sorely missing a lot of talent. Don’t feel bad if you can’t find anything right now, there’s a lot of other people who can’t either.
