Could be useful if you like to have something to SSH into things.

For instance, I find it useful to SSH into my desktop through termux on my phone. But using a phone keyboard for that isn’t very comfortable. But yours has a dedicated keyboard.

Imagine having unit tests, my company could never

I switched over about a year ago. I’ve made far more progress with godot than I ever have with unity. It’s a solid tool, and I have very few complaints.

My experience hasn’t been as smooth. The global search seems dependent on instances, some are better than others. And playback across instances is hit or miss.

With that said, usage entirely local to the instance is flawless and speedy, which is nice.

2nding this, but also I’m looking forward to KSA, hoping it can be the true successor

If you like building sets, you should check out Rolling Line.

It’s software for budgeting. You can run it entirely local, or set it up as a server. It stores everything in an SQLite dB, let’s you import and export CSV files, and it gives you great options for querying and seeing reports on your financial records.

I’ve got a handful of accounts, so I set up a small python utility to parse the CSVs my banks give me to something actually sensible and readable for Actual. I do that once a month, add a reconciliation entry here and there, and it’s all kept on sync very well.

I have one morbid report titled “money pissed down the landlord drain”, and it’s far higher than I’d like to be. But it’s got close to every penny I’ve ever spent on that bullshit in one place.

That just means they become 100% efficient in winter!

Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.

Crazy how living the way we’ve lived for thousands of years works well.

I’ve had everything on this list with Visual Studio alone, with the exception of #2 maybe.

1. All the AI shit they’re adding, plus the millions of windows you can pull up that are all hidden in different places. The only way this is remotely usable is with the search.

2. This happens every other day when working with Blazor. As an added bonus, it can never decide on spacing and will constantly change it.

3. Probably a symptom of using legacy code and modern code at the same time, but good god the settings for everything are in a million places.

4. Another symptom of blazor.

5. Our project is too big.

Agreed

It’s a bit of both. I’ll try to help him if he asks for help if/when the AI leads him down the wrong path, but who knows how deep in the tangled weeds of spaghetti he’ll be in by then.

I don’t think he’s gonna need much math. He will need complicated editor things set up though, and I’m doubtful that the AI will understand much.

I have a friend who is trying to vibe code a unity project. I don’t have high hopes for him, but I’m doing my best to support him and help him out.

Can’t sell my data if I’ve never given them any

Definitely another option.

It’ll probably work for a good decade or two before it goes out of date. They still need to support the enterprise LTS version, which I think includes excel.

Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.

Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don’t need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn’t apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.

This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy

You don’t need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.

Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?

Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.

Because it’s federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.
