PRUSA releases the OpenPrintTag, open source standard for filament spool identification and data tracking
Hmm, seems like a decent idea. Definitely better than closed tag systems.

Wine 11.0 is planned for release tomorrow, featuring NTSync for improved NT synchronization, fully supported new WoW64 mode, enhanced Wayland/Vulkan drivers, and many other improvements
I wonder if at some point Wine on Linux will become better than Windows itself.

Junoir vs Senior
If I interpret the mac as just any laptop then I kind of agree. The more experience I have gained the less I care about how many monitors I have or how fancy my keyboard is. I do require linux though.

Working in a large corporation is a place where you get paid for
Reply in thread
It's okay even fun at first, but eats your soul slowly over the years. Edit: that ofcourse depends on perspective e.g. what you are doing at the moment. I myself moved from an abusive job to a cozy corporate one, it seemed like heaven at first.

Might be just my anecdotal experience but that seems to be the case for basically any group of people. Edit: typos

Maybe Lemmy can forcibly invent a new term for "ricing". (Good faith pls)
Pixel polishing. A term we use for frontend code at work (all backend developers).

How can i teach myself to contribute to these projects?
Self taught programmer here. If your goal is to contribute code. Get the project's code, learn how to run it. Go pick an issue, great if it has a first time contributor tag or something. Try to fix it. If someone fixes it before you, now you can compare fixes. Sounds simple? It kind of is, but there are some side quests involved. This processes will force you to learn the bare minimum to get the task done. Your solution will most likely be shit but that's great, you can only get better. Programming is less about knowing how to do something and more about figuring it out as you go. Google, chatbot/llm, read the docs, ask others. Edit: Forgot something important: Be open to critique, programming is a craft and there is a lot to learn. Being bad at it is a given for most. Also most programmers are kinda bad at communicating so they may sound harsher than they are.

What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?
Reply in thread
Try a few Gigabytes. I worked on site IT support for a year, we had to max out memory on a workstation because the company database was a, about 3GB, Excel file. It took minutes to open and barely worked, crashing frequently.

Which 3d printer would you recommend?
Prusa if you can stomach the price, otherwise no clue. I have a Core One + myself. I'm happy with it.

I can't like the fish
I use fish because it was the default in cachyos and decided to give it a fair shake. I like the built in syntax highlighting and fancy autocomplete but I miss bash scripting and built in commands that replace standard commands can be weird sometimes. I have not tried scripting fish, to lazy to learn yet another scripting language, especially if bash is the (almost) de-facto standard.

Android's Quick Share now works with iPhone's AirDrop, starting with the Pixel 10 lineup | TechCrunch
Not an Android feature, a Google Pixel 10 feature. It may tricle down but Aplle will more likely patch it to hell before that happens. In my humbe opinion.

Steam is working on adding zstd compression for game chunks (every game file is split into 1MB), it currently uses LZMA.
I don't know much about compression algorithms. What are the benefits of doing this?

I get where you're coming from. But as something of an enthusiast myself I don't always know GUI tools for all the tasks I can do in a terminal. Edit: typos

how do i stop being so obsessed with a fictional character?
I'm not saying this is the best advice, but maybe it resonates with you. Find a non fictional character or any subject that seems interesting. If there is a person that seems cool and has a biography try reading/listening/watching that. By doing this you broaden you horizon a little and that itself should give you a slightly changed view on your own fictional character. In this way you and you character can evolve together and that may also change your relationship with the character. As others have mentioned, joining a group activities like sports, volunteering, debating club, etc can also be beneficial. TLDR: Broaden your horizons. Try to interact with new people and new ideas/views.

I wonder how much it really costs to have claude opus implement simething like this, the real cost, not the "get hooked on ai" prices we have now.

"SO proof" distro
I guess it depends what she does on her pc.
But ignoring that, Mint without sudo. Throw in flatpaks and appimages.
Immutable distros are probably fine too but in my experience they tend to be a bit fussy if you need to change something in the system config.
Ubuntu, always a solid choice for beginners but Gnome shell is a bigger change from windows conpared to Cinamon.
P.S. I have Mint on our TV PC and my SO handdles it without issues.
