  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Choose Nixos and get both!

    [–] ShadyGrove@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (4 children)

    Choose ~~Nixos~~ Guix and get both!

    [–] WalnutLum@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago

    This guy guix it

    [–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 12 points 6 days ago

    Why yes I am a ~~geek~~guik, how could you tell?

    [–] lambda@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

    What is guix? I'm aware of nixos. Are they related?

    [–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

    Guix is the superior version if NixOS. It is less bloated and more performant while also more stable.

    At least that is what I think it is. Never heard of it before. But I love Guix it is my personality.

    [–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

    Lmao 10/10 username

    [–] ShadyGrove@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    They are very similar concepts, but Guix is configured using Scheme (specifically GNU Guile), instead of the crazy nixos language.

    [–] lambda@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

    Do you have a good comparison? Like maybe two files that do similar things?

    [–] wer2@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

    I'm working on it. Just waiting till Christmas.

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    I might give it another try. Third time's the charm. I'll wait for you guys to have a decent wiki tho.

    [–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

    wiki.nixos.org is pretty good

    [–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 33 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

    TempleOS and HolyC are all a computer needs

    [–] insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe 36 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

    Yes, but also I don't have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn't help with that either.

    So add in other issues and it really ends up as

    Content Description: a cartoon of a man opening a tiny door with 7 cute germ plushies stuck in the open door, they cannot fit through despite pushing

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Here's a project for ya, make porn out of polygonal art

    [–] insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe 4 points 6 days ago

    I mostly do untextured low-poly stuff so I'll think I'll leave that one to the brofessionals. It doesn't seem like a good starting point.

    Languages without a GOTO statement are so passé

    [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    On the hardware, it's all GOTOs

    [–] Iapar@feddit.org 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    GOTO DEEZ NUTZ!

    [–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago

    COMEFROM is much better

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

    I like some of the latest cutting edge stuff like Lisp and Scheme

    [–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Oh good, then Lua's in the clear.

    [–] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

    But in Lua, goto is just a table with a bit of syntactic sugar.

    [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

    GOTO is overrated. On Error Resume Next is where it's at.

    [–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

    Haskell, where you can't even goto because it doesn't really work that way

    [–] akkajdh999@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

    Become a gopher

    [–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 12 points 5 days ago

    While you're here, have you heard of lapis, the lua web dev framework? I like it and that means that you have to too!

    The duality of linuxmemes and linuxsucks strikes again. 🙃

    don't forget the ! it becomes a mail link without it

    [–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    Hmm, it didn't turn into a mail link for me on the Lemmy webpage, so I left it, but yeah, I guess some clients might make it a mail link...

    [–] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago

    i think i blocked the community anyway

    [–] danhab99@programming.dev 18 points 6 days ago

    Choose nixos

    2 birds 1 stone

    [–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Does gdscript count? It mostly just feels like python tho

    [–] stickyShift@midwest.social 2 points 5 days ago

    GDScript is actually pretty good - it's similar to what TypeScript did for JavaScript, but for Python. However, IMO it's still worth using C# for larger projects

    I don't speak no computer only ungabunga.

    [–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

    I don't speak no computer

    So you speak computer?

    [–] TheFadingOne@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago

    Sure, I'm happy to introduce you to our Lord and Savior BQN

    [–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

    Is there any other obscure programming language than haskell though?

    Are lisps obscure?

    [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 5 days ago

    Nix. The idea behind it is excellent, but the language sucks.

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

    Idris is the obscure version of Haskell

    [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

    Gforth and spread the word of Reverse Polish Notation into the Void!
