‘Toy’ feels strange to me here. It’s more of a just-works vs power-tool distinction. Sometimes people like tools that require you to RTFM because the deeper understanding has concrete benefits; it’s not just fun. User-friendliness is not all upside, it is still a tradeoff.
You’re absolutely right about hurting new users by not making the destinction, whatever label is used.
This is one of the little things I love about Gentoo. It’s rolling, but not bleeding edge.
Plus, you can opt into bleeding edge either per package or for all packages. It’s honestly a flexibility that doesn’t even require a source-based distro, so Arch could do it too.
Ugh and that happens a lot if your email domain has an even slightly unusual TLD too.
Yep, Kraken’s been a big player in the exchange space for a long time.
Ayy, Pomo Post is super cute! Cool to bump into a dev on Lemmy.
I love that the Playdate is inspiring people to make tools that are also beautiful and fun like a good toy. The whole system makes me just plain happy :)
Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.
I use mine just about every day, I’ve been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I’m excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I’ve gotten out of it. But, that doesn’t really help anybody else, I know.
It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I’ve played start-to-finish more than once.
Plus you can plug the mac into itself for free charging.

What reputable VPNs these days offer port forwarding? That’s a big part of what keeps me on a seedbox.
C is a little older than namespacing and object orientation. C++ wasn’t even a glimmer in Bjarne’s eye when these conventions were laid down.
And yes, having to google it is part of the design. Originally C programmers would have had to read actual manuals about this stuff. Once you learn the names you don’t really forget so it works well enough even now for ubiquitous standard library functions.
And yet, C was an ergonomic revelation to programmers of the time. Now it’s the arcane grandpa that most youngsters don’t put up with.
Oh, so it’s Hashcash; cool to see that idea getting real use.
Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.
He’s absolutely right! He’d be violating a trademark, not copyright.
Plus having any rendering engine have a monopoly is terrible for the web long term.
Gentoo or Manjaro are to Arch? What do you mean? Those two are very different from each other especially in their relationships to Arch.
Turns out massively parallel computation has applications beyond video rendering.
Religion hasn’t had its time so much as it is rapidly evolving along with the rest of society.
Religion does not have to mean sky daddy or even have to imply belief in the supernatural.
It doesn’t read sarcastic to me; the joke is more presenting a fantasy as though it were practical dating advice.
If you’ve got a complex and potentially nested object, what does the body of this simple function look like? That’s what they mean.
