My union made my healthcare much better and is the reason behind my raise. Its great!

Its been a couple of years. Is mono still a thing? Or was it eaten up by .net core? If its still a thing than Mono. We did that for a couple of one off apps back in the day.

If I had to redo it, i would probably just use core on Linux and call it a day. Maintainability is better than purism anyways. Again all my opinions.

Actually if you want my full opinion, I would probably use python to create a proof of concept real quick…then have it remade if it needs to be faster in go/rust/whatever the rest of the team knows :)

I personally like C# and NOT .net…but im a weirdo.

It used to be VB.net and other such stuff. It WAS pretty terrible. Ive had to pick apart some pretty horrendous applications. Then Mono/C# popped up and a lot of community effort went into making everything better. It helps that .net stole a LOT of functionality from Rails/Django/etc… and make it much easier for devs to do actual work on it.

The problem is when we talk about .net it could be a huge combo of tech from the last 10+ years. The newest iteration is fine. Its fast at least with C#.

Its so nice C# can run in Linux :).

At work, we joke that MS will eventually get tired of the OS game and just throw Windows tools on top of Linux and call it. Then just become a SaaS provider for everything else. Not WSL like legit linux kernel with Windows.

That is a cool idea. Thanks im gonna do some research now.

From what im seeing people are looking at steam/linux as an alternative not windows. With the RAM shortage, windows is probably the worst solution out of the available options.

Either way it sucks to get rid of the only way to get used games anymore. Im hoping this kicks back more and we see more partnerships with companies like limited run games and others who do physical releases. https://megacatstudios.com/products/zpf for example.

Limited time games do this quite often. Its fun to get physical media.

And my axe!

Sorry its a old one.

Thas the best thing about the fediverse. As long as your on, you can communicate with others.

Yeah i liked it too.

I self host freshrss which is better nowadays.

Yep. Thats what i do.

Beggers cant be chosers i suppose?

Actually is solid state drives faster than ddr2? Swap might actually be faster?

Right? We have money. Letme read my book on whatever platform.

Not all. Some of the very old ones you will have issues. I know i did on a old one. But it does work on android!

Oh yeah tables. I can imagine that can mess up any txt based tool for sure. I havent actually tried any ebooks with manual based things in them.

It works for non amazon books at least last i tried. Works on library books…but that feels wierd. I have enough money to buy books now, so sometimes i just op for the real thing.

I have had luck reaching out to authors in the past. One even recommended yoho so that was funny.

Baen library was one of the first (older than amazon!) To let you buy and add ebooks drm free. And any format too.

I had some of thier books on an old palmpilot.

Something i have been foing for years in calibre is saving the de-drm version of all ebooks that i bought. And getting the txt version of the files.

The ebook format is basically a subset of html if you ever look into it. And as time goes on ebook readers have different ways to show these books. Most of the time, its great! Sometimes its not. Give it another 50 years and we will see what works and what doesnt. But i garentee at least the txt files will still work.

I didnt know what authors and publishers go though. Thanks for that lemmydividebyzero

At our local makerspace, we have a drawer thats labeled “memories” with just random RAM chips for the last 20 years. Its probably worth some $$ now.

Yes.
