No, I've never touched my .config file for KDE directly (I have made settings changes, but none that would cause it to clear hotkeys), I just can't set hotkeys without them clearing on reboot/session end. Apparently it's a known problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484682

That report mentions 6.0.3 I've had this issue since I installed NixOS with plasma 5 last year and remember finding forum posts about it as well. It hasn't been too much of a deal for me because the only thing I was using it for was remapping the Konsole shortcut to launch Kitty instead.

Edit: also that issue I linked looks like it's resolved in 6.0.5 but I'm in 6.0.5 right now and I just tried to set a keybind and it's still clearing on reboot.

Cable isn't the same as OTA but from a viewer standpoint they're both live TV. Live TV in the US is basically unwatchable unless you really like sports or 24/7 news commentary (even then live news is usually also available through phone apps) and don't mind being interrupted by ads every 2 minutes.

Anything else is better watched with torrents/piracy streaming sites. They don't stop the show to serve some random combination of medicine, home insurance, and car ads.

Have you had issues setting hotkeys in KDE? I'm using NixOS on my laptop and for some reason the shortcuts I add all reset on logouts/shutdowns

Didn't it get revealed that anyone who used a certain Linux forum got automatically added to an FBI surveillance list? Everyone here is definitely already on a list lol

Edit: it was the NSA, not the FBI: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/07/the-nsa-thinks-linux-journal-is-an-extremist-forum/

Edit 2: for clarity, that article is from 2014 so it isn't exactly recent but if they were doing it in 2014 they probably still do something similar now.

Hey look it worked!

Chat is he being serious?

Edit: Chat, look at his comment history, he was being serious

Suyu is technically still being developed but whether or not anything comes out of that is a completely different story. The few devs left are unfamiliar with the code (all the yuzu contributers left out of legal fear) and have super ambitious goals (they want to do a rewrite because the original code was allegedly based off of a leaked Nintendo SDK) so it's unlikely it's going to get anywhere.

I'm hoping Ryujinx forks that pop up after this have more success. I am glad that Citra survived the Yuzu crossfire though, Lime3DS seems to be doing well.

There are a few libraries we're using that stopped being developed after Angular ~9-10 and one we use extensively with breaking changes between 10-12. Updating to 8 wasn't too bad but for some reason Angular's update tool didn't actually do anything so I had to update the package.json manually and fix stuff by hand (luckily the only change was fixed with a bulk find/replace)

To me at least angular makes a bit more sense than React's way of doing things does. React tries to be functional with its components and yet it seems like they end up basically trying to mimic classes with useState and useEffect. To me Angular's class-based approach makes a bit more sense (though I am primarily interested in backend development more than frontend so that could be why)

It does kind of fall into a lot of the traps of Object-Oriented programming though so I can see why a lot of people don't like it

Don't come at me like that 😭

You know neovim can use the exact same LSPs (Language Server Protocol) for intellisense as VS Code right? There's intellisense, git integration, code-aware navigation, etc. Neovim can be everything VS code is (they're both just text editors with plugins), except Neovim can be configured down to each navigation key so it's possible to be way more efficient in Neovim. It's also faster and more memory ~~edficient~~ efficient because it isn't a text editor built on top of a whole browser engine like VS Code is.

I use a Neovim setup at home (I haven't figured out how to use debugger plugins with Neovim and the backend I work on is big enough that print debugging endpoints would drive me insane) and I can assure you I have never given variable names one letter unless I'm dealing with coordinates (x, y, z) or loops (i, j) and usually in the latter scenario I'll rename the variable to something that makes more sense. Also, we don't do it to seem hardcore, it's because there are actual developer efficiency benefits to it like the ones I listed above.

By your own logic you "can't be bothered" to learn how to edit a single config file on a text editor that has existed in some form for almost 50 years (vi). Stop making strawman arguments.

I was trying to look more into game dev crunch at Nintendo and the most recent articles I could find were about Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask (all for the Nintendo 64) and Metroid Prime (for the GameCube). From what I can tell all of their recent games have been delayed instead of forcing crunch.

That being said the difference in work culture means they probably still have longer hours but they aren't giving their developers actual PTSD like EA and Activision. It is really sad that the bar for AAA game devs is not having devs hospitalized from overworking. Hopefully more game dev and software dev companies can meaningfully unionize to combat that.

Not really sure if there is a better place to put this, but is bytes.programming.dev having issues for anyone else? I can log in but my timeline doesn't load at all.

I'm trying out NixOS on my laptop right now and I'm loving it so far, but I was thinking of setting up distro box for ubuntu (mostly for a few developer environments dependent on it) and arch (for packages that aren't on nixpkgs yet). I was wondering about the battery life hit on a laptop and I couldn't find anything definitive on google/ddg. Has anyone here noticed a difference?
