Hello everyone! For many years, I have been coding every once in a while and actually learned a lot. I especially liked C and C-Like languages and building useless stuff just for fun and for the sake of the intellectual challenge that came with it, but since when AI became decent enough, it just kinda ruined the passion for programming and computers as a whole. Thing is, I am in university now and need to go back to using C and program regularly, but now that AI does everything 20000 times better than I ever will I always either cede to temptation to use it (thus nullifying learning) or just get bored so quickly I just turn off the computer to do something different.

is there a way to revive the interest for programming and building projects? I am doing my best to stop using AI but heck I really am self-indulging. please help!

Hello everyone! After Discord's new CEO came to power, I think its now time to find a viable discord alternative. I figured out that fluxer.app might very well be the best one so I decided to make a community about the Fediverse on there

Fluxer is a discord-like application that also aims to bring decentralization by making users able to host their own Fluxer instances! There's a lot of potential and I think we should support the project. If you want to join, here's the link :D

EDIT: So guys, about the CLA thing.. Hampus (the Developer) removed the CLA completely so now the software is released under plain AGPLv3, which is really nice! Here's my source

I absolutely love Wikipedia. It has almost replaced a good chunk of my school books back when I was in high school and it is still very useful now that I'm in university. Wikipedia and similar things are a dream that comes true

Hello everybody! I was thinking of switching from GNOME to KDE Plasma on my laptop. The main things keeping me from switching are

• Touchpad Gestures
• Dynamic Workspaces

Since I have a pretty beefy machine, dynamic workspaces are more an optional than anything but if there's something unnegotiable to me, especially for a laptop experience, is the touchpad experience which must me at least viable. So what has been your experience? Please I need your opinion

Salve a tutti! Mi sono appena ritirato da una conferenza di informatici nella mia città e ho notato che moltissima gente scrive in Typescript ma sinceramente non ne capisco il senso visto che alla fine dovrebbe compilare in JS normale. Voi cosa ne pensate?

I shot this pic with my phone of the time, which was an Oppo A74.

The pic is unedited. What do you think?

Hello everybody. I'm planning to get my first camera body and lenses but I'm not quite sure on what lensens to get. I think I'll get a LUMIX DMC-GF1 which I can find for fairly cheap prices so I can spend most of the money for some good lenses.

What lenses would you recommend me buying? Is there some kind of "general lenses" I can use without having to switch them according to situations? I'm very new and confused by all the technical terms and stuff

I'll go straight to the point:

• Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
• Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
• Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
• Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
• Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

Which one would you recommend? I'm currently on the default instance but I want to support smaller instances for the sake of decentralization

EDIT: I'm noticing a lot of you guys are telling me about Lemmy instances. That's not what I'm looking for! I'm looking for a Matrix Chat server!

Still, I will take that Lemmy instances in serious consideration. Thanks!
