Ayy, Pomo Post is super cute! Cool to bump into a dev on Lemmy.

I love that the Playdate is inspiring people to make tools that are also beautiful and fun like a good toy. The whole system makes me just plain happy :)

And the soundtrack is so good

Yeah, being a niche product without the economies of scale elsewhere in gaming makes the price really awkward. My hope is that will improve over time if the install base keeps growing.

I use mine just about every day, I’ve been fully obsessed with a game on multiple occasions, and I’m excited every time there are new things in the catalog. Easily worth full game-console price for the joy I’ve gotten out of it. But, that doesn’t really help anybody else, I know.

It really is a lot less of a gimmick than it might seem. The final game of the first season is a shockingly polished gameboy-zelda-style adventure that I’ve played start-to-finish more than once.

Plus you can plug the mac into itself for free charging.

“Treat others how they wish to be treated, bearing in mind how you feel when you are mistreated” just doesn’t roll off the tongue in the same way.

You’ll find that on the external diagram.

What reputable VPNs these days offer port forwarding? That’s a big part of what keeps me on a seedbox.

C is a little older than namespacing and object orientation. C++ wasn’t even a glimmer in Bjarne’s eye when these conventions were laid down.

And yes, having to google it is part of the design. Originally C programmers would have had to read actual manuals about this stuff. Once you learn the names you don’t really forget so it works well enough even now for ubiquitous standard library functions.

And yet, C was an ergonomic revelation to programmers of the time. Now it’s the arcane grandpa that most youngsters don’t put up with.

Oh, so it’s Hashcash; cool to see that idea getting real use.

Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.

He’s absolutely right! He’d be violating a trademark, not copyright.

My sleuthing suggests I Saw the TV Glow (2024).

Gentoo or Manjaro are to Arch? What do you mean? Those two are very different from each other especially in their relationships to Arch.

Turns out massively parallel computation has applications beyond video rendering.

It doesn’t read sarcastic to me; the joke is more presenting a fantasy as though it were practical dating advice.

Not an unreasonable interpretation!

Is it surprising that people might miss that, though? Especially if they don’t already agree with the antifascist message.

4 in particular I think is more open to interpretation based on ones existing biases than people seem to think. Being over the top doesn’t necessarily have to be mockery and authorial intent is peanuts to a random personwatching a movie.

The other points IIRC are individual moments rather than recurring themes. It’s not surprising to me that significant numbers of people overlook them.
