I am perpetually torn between Windows and Linux. Windows pros: I'm lazy. I like to play games and especially those ones with kernel level anti cheat Windows cons: It's Windows Linux pros: I like it. Developing on it is better. Linux cons: I keep having network issues with it on my laptop

There was once a time I would grumble with annoyance when I wanted to look for a niche program and I'd get redirected to GitHub, gone are those days. I recalled this gem of a post and my past self can almost relate

I learned recently that in Windows 11 there is no native way to change the icon for an executable. The options are to install a third party program or create a shortcut and edit the icon for that which isn't a fix. It took like 3 clicks in Debian.. Windows it's my machine, stop getting in my way

So update; application for graduation has been submitted and is pending. Just need to finish the semester. Current build project for class is making pong in Vircon32 Assembly and another program I need to think of based on the book. Windows trying to be the admin of my system over me

The semester is over, I have no idea what to do with my free time or at least what to start first - Backup data and switch my main laptop to Debian and potato debian laptop to a mini server - Organize notes in Obsidian/Notion - Explore Neovim plugins - Binge anime - Find job?

Hot take, many mmo-esque games have an auto-route feature and most mobile games, an auto-battle feature. I'd like to remove them or at the very least not have those as the default as it honestly feels like I'm not even playing a game.

For my Discrete class some of the projects are the same or slightly changed such as using 3 discrete structures rather than 3 data structures. Other projects are to create a long division generator with randomized divisor, dividend and quotient with a certain length and to always have a remainder.

Here's some of the final projects for my Data Structures class: 0x0 - Build a new game (new opposed to any built during the semester) utilizing a minimum of 3 data structures. Preferably with sound effects and music 0x1 - Base 15, hard difficulty letter division puzzle

0x3 - Take a previous game from the semester, fine-tune it and implement some means of enabling a toggle to display some key concept and programming-related information to the screen for the user to see, or give them a choice in how to proceed, potentially impacting game logic.

0x4 - Create or polish a game worthy of showcasing at the College expo along with a poster board with details of the game and explanation of the logic and concepts. Include a QR code to the wiki page relevant to the game. 0x5 - Take the binary tree and create a game out of it.

My Twitter fyp, while ad ridden, is actual tech and dev content while my BlueSky discover is nothing but independent artists no matter how hard I try to curate. Artists aren't bad but it's not what I'm here for. I'm hoping for some better algorithms for a personalized discover.
