    🤦 Facepalm of the day The famous retro YouTuber &quot;The 8-Bit Guy&quot; decided to alienate his core audience and destroy his whole reputation with a single video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmgeFTAk2a8 (He &quot;made&quot; a &quot;movie&quot; with genAI that he will show in a cinema. The vast majority of the thousands of comments on the video are extremely negative.) #retro #retrogaming #neverslop #noai #8bit #the8bitguy

    🎱 What AI &quot;coding&quot; can do to your mental health Today: (Somewhat) famous game developer George Broussard (worked on &quot;Duke Nukem 3D&quot;, &quot;Rise Of The Triad&quot;) Feels the need to tell the world he is currently out of tokens after a &quot;5 hour session&quot;. Gets a snarky reply =&gt; directly has a breakdown and lashes out. If AI &quot;coding&quot; is so amazing, why does it make these guys be so &quot;on the edge&quot; &amp; aggressive?

    Recommendation needed :android: I want to buy an Android phone to help testing a cross-platform app. What would be a somewhat recent but completely average Android phone to buy for this use case? 🤔 #Android #AppDev

    C question 🙂 So far, I am super happy using a subset of C99 (I looked at some features of the later standards, and found almost nothing that I would want to use). However, looking at the GCC extensions to C, I found at least one thing that seems helpful. @sirwumpus@tilde.zone @xexyl@fosstodon.org What is your general advice for this: would you (or do you) use any C extensions from GCC or Clang? Or do you stick to pure ISO C?

    🖨️ My new printer stopped working under #LinuxMint the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message. Finally found the solution: In the printer&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;location&amp;quot; field, I had specified &amp;quot;Mein Büro&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;My office&amp;quot; in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😶 After removing the &amp;quot;ü&amp;quot;, the printer worked. Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. 🙂 #printer #linux #cups...
