Is it viable to use a gaming handheld as main dev machine?

    Dang it...

    How about a Gameboy? I mean... It has a printer.

    Oh, for sure!

    I did see lots of youtube videos using theese handhelds as "gaming pcs", or from someone whose main workflow is office work... I'm having a hard time find any article about general development. At max, I did find some reddit comments saying they use a Steam Deck for gaming dev, which makes a lot of sense if the Deck is the target.

    To really succeed as a developer, I’ve sometimes needed to be willing to make risky changes to my development machine, that I’m not willing to do to my gaming machine.

    My plan is to install BazziteOS (Fedora Silverblue derivative) on the device to have a "stable" OS with all the dev environment on distrobox containers or something like that.

    I'm not sure if it's going to work, though.

    I’d strongly recommend against it. Nothing to do with specs or viability but psychologically you’ll want to play games - they’re enjoyable.

    This is my main concern, if I'm being completely honest.

    But that also applies the other way arround. I'm a bit of a workaholic, so most of the time I open my current notebook on the sofa I start to code. Having a device without a physical keyboard may stop me from on working outside my workroom or coding during vacations, for example.

    It is 24GB of RAM (12 GB x 2), but from my research, 8GB are dedicated to video memory. So it leaves 16GB "usefull" for development.

    Also, display is not a concern as my monitor is 1080p.

  • Hello fellow devs. I'm in need of a new machine as I had a little mishap with my notebook. For a long time, I thought on buying a gaming notebook as normally they should have the best hardware for my personal (gaming, light video edit) and professional (full stack web dev) needs. Next week, Asus will launch the ROG Ally X officially on my country. So, I'm wondering if it could be a viable alternative. The other possible devices would be ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) and Lenovo Legion Go, as Steam Deck is not available here. I work from home for a foreign company. I have a monitor, a wireless keyboard, and a usb trackball already. I bought them to use with a mac mini my previous company lend to me. I do not have a desktop and do not intend to buy one right now. So... My questions: Does any of you have experience using a handheld device as a main dev machine? Are there any cons I'm not considering? Thank you!

  • Talklinked Podcast talking about the Fediverse and Lemmy (Video min 22:18)
  • Jedi Jedi 2mo ago 100%

    A few things I really liked about this episode:

    First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the "Fediverse is not only Mastodon", but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our "bubble".

    Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @emilyyoung@tech.lgbt go follow her). But Emily always was the "weird person that uses Linux" in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using "alternative social media". Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn't get the "Fediverse vibe" from him. Which is good. Very good.

    Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.

    Jakob, I have a feeling you're reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.

    As a new, one year, software developer who retrained late. How do you know when you're ready to apply for a new role with more money?
  • Jedi Jedi 4mo ago 100%

    I also started on a very small company. Worked there as Junior developer for about 3 years. I was on the same spot as you are right now. One day, I received a call from a friend who started working on a bigger company in a different state (I live in Brazil), saying they were hiring. I figured I could at least try their technical tests to see where should I improve.

    So I applied for the junior position. They thought my test solution was good, so I got to the interview phase. To my surprise, the interview was not for the junior position, but for the medior one (don't know the correct term, but higher than junior but lower than senior), and receive the job proposal on the next week.

    I agree with @MagicShel@programming.dev's comment: "you need exposure to other environments, other ideas, other technologies and frameworks in order to grow". And it goes both ways. Without testing yourself, you'll never know how much you did grow and where you are.

    So, my advice to you is: do not wait until you feel "ready" to do the move. It may "click" too late. If you want to move on, just do it. At least you will test yourself, and know how to correct your course, if you need to aim higher ou lower than originally intended.

    No worries. You're not the first one who went in this rant, and I ensure you won't be the last.

    I agree with you. Sometimes we all feel like beta users of this fairly new platform. And much can be improved before "mainstream" adoption. But let me see if I can help you wrap your head arround some of your concerns.

    About you not be logged on Lemmy.ml, I think it helps if you think of "Lemmy" the same as "Email with votes". You don't expect to be logged on you Gmail account when you access Hotmail.com, but you still can read messages from @hotmail.com accounts, even as those two sites are managed by different companies / entities.

    Transfer account is something lacking, yes. And I think its a feature on the backlog for lemmy devs, cause other similar services has it, like Mastodon.

    UI should not be a different instance, and I don't think it is. I have an account on sh.itjust.works and I can use the same login and password on oldsh.itjust.works. So if you have problem with old.lemmy.world, you have all the rights to complain with whatever entity is running your instance.

    Well... That's it. I hope that helps. If you have any further questions, I encourage you to send a message to any of lemmy.world's mod or adm. Different from reddit, the adms of lemmy tend to listen to its users.

    Not in the default web app. Lemmy provides an API endpoint, so third party clients can list liked posts.

    I use Boost and it shows me on my profile screen.

    Sim. Eles tão processando "de volta" pq Elon Musk processou eles dizendo que a queda de valor da empresa era devido ao relatório deles. Lógico que o juiz não acatou o processo do Musk.

    Ele deve ter algum tipo de fetiche por processo esse fdp

    Not the best show I ever saw, but one that I enjoy the most, especially in recent memory.

    All that cliché, the cheesy and horny jokes. Super Sayajin hair, Ultraman "grow up"... Everything was delivered perfectly and balanced.

    The child inside me was jumping with joy every minute of the episode. God knows I needed this anime.

  • Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon?
  • Jedi Jedi 7mo ago 87%

    There's a problem with that on smaller instances.

    You can only see hashtags from people your instance already knows (someone follows them). On bigger, well-connected, instances this is not as problematic.

    But, no matter the size of the instance, it just shows how even the "hashtag experience" depends on the "following experience".

    Quanto mais eles falam, mais afundados eles ficam. Mesmo que Bolsonaro esteja lá falando sobre política internacional (o que não é tecnicamente mentira, já que asilo político em outro país cai nessa categoria), pq diabos um embaixador estaria falando com um ex-presidente?!

    Eu tenho uma quedinha por mashups. Gosto da ideia de juntar estilos completamente diferentes, como é o caso dessa banda. O vocalista (também conhecido por seu trabalho como dublador de personagens como Wakko Warner dos Animaniacs) tem um puta de um alcance na voz, e consegue ser bem competente tanto na parte "Journey" quanto na parte "Metallica". Recomendo ver as outras músicas do album também. Em especial "Here Comes the Fool you Wanted" e "Shook Me Like a Prayer"

    Uma das minhas linhas de baixo favoritas para tocar. Aquele tipo de música de conforto para mim. Além da linha de baixo, gosto da letra e da voz do vocalista. É completamente diferente das outras músicas da banda, infelizmente.
