684I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible
I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post
I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time
I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

y'all, my husband (not a tech guy) just managed to stumble innocently into Windows' biggest, deepest, darkest black hole of legacy hacks:
"I was making textfiles with explanations of different D&D stats, str, dex, etc, but it wouldn't let me name a file con..."

@pork_soda ooh that’s tempting! to be honest I have this irrational dislike of auto-generated code or auto-generated config files unless I know exactly what they’re doing, and from what I understand that’s how VIsual Studio works, right? but it does sound like it’s a much nicer environment for compiling things than having to figure all of that out by hand
although I have thought about trying a compiled language. in the past I tried Rust and was extremely confused and overwhelmed by it lol. it was my first statically-typed language as well as my first real attempt at learning a compiled language and I think that was a mistake. I did manage to make a pretty cool project in Rust but I barely understood any of the compiler errors I was getting and developed superstitions about how to not anger the compiler lol
so I’ve been thinking of trying something less advanced, though I’m not totally sure what yet. but right now I’m currently wrestling with both Löve/Lua and potentially learning Fennel (a Lisp-like that transpiles into Lua) so I definitely have my hands full as it is

@pork_soda that totally makes sense tbh. thankfully I’ve almost never had to work with compiled languages. I say “thankfully” because everything about compilation seems extremely painful to me lol. although makefiles definitely seem like the worst example because they are every bit as un-portable as a shell script but they also have even more terrible legacy behavior heaped on top

so uh… the entire American tech industry has shit itself and there are no longer any tech jobs at all, whatsoever. could anyone recommend a new career path for me? I am:
- very technically minded
- very fast at learning things on my own - especially if I can tinker/experiment with them (or a simulation of them) to gain an intuition
- extremely good with computers, programming, etc.
- cripplingly socially anxious, so ideally it should involve as little interaction with people as possible
- very anxious in general so it shouldn’t be a stressful job, ideally
- on a truly disgusting sleep schedule. I’d love if I could do shift work instead of having to wake up at 8am
- looking for a job that has a lot of demand for workers, so it’s easy to get hired. I’ve been trying to get a tech job for years but nobody likes me
- okay with going through a training program for up to a year, but no longer than a year
I’d really love to hear about any options that y’all know about

oh wow, uh… luarocks is so bad because it’s from 2006 and it doesn’t have many contributors and the creator sounds completely burned out. I kinda feel bad for complaining about it now, but I do want better for the Lua ecosystem

I guess I should do an #introduction post, again, now that this instance is actually working and it's not looking like I'm gonna have to torch it and start over again, again.
Hello and welcome to my followers—745, so far, last I checked. Not nearly as many as some; a few more than I deserve, probably.
If you think you know me by some other name, you're probably right. I wouldn't say I'm exactly new to the #Fediverse, but I'm still newer than a lot of people who are likely to read this. I'll take any reasonable advice from anyone. This is the second #GotoSocial instance I've self-hosted on my own hardware. As of the exact moment I'm writing this, I'm in the process of of migrating from my account on the first one.
As far as software, I've been on #NixOS for a few years now, and #Qtile with the #Wayland backend for almost as long. #XMonad was my first #TilingWindowManager properly; tried #i3 before that, wasn't impressed. Give me #Vim at the very least, or preferably #Neovim. Current terminal emulator is #WezTerm.
GED in 2011 at the age of 17, no formal education beyond that.
I have #ADHD and #TouretteSyndrome, both diagnosed when I was 24.
Hobbies include but are not limited to collecting #rocks, watching and (and this is putting it charitably) reviewing #movies, and #unicycle.
I'm sure there's more; feel free to ask.
Thank you.

kasdeyasetting up luarocks on Windows is pure pain T_T
I’m pretty sure everything is working now, except it’s trying to use MSVC to compile things instead of MinGW and I get a cryptic ld error and ugh. I’ll figure that out tomorrow
