3 minutes test.

Pro:

• Seems to work. I can hear sound and it seems to be where I left off.
• Downloading offline book seem to work which is a huge plus compared to the official app although I wish someone was considerate with space and built the option to store only X hours. I really only need to store enough for my next commute.
• Looks clean, but to be honest that’s not a very important factor since I mostly only use the app to press play.

Cons:

• Library doesnt distinguish already read books and new books.
• Can’t group books by author and series.
• I don’t like the scroll down on the playing screen that switch to a chapter screen but scrolling up doesn’t do the opposite. Seems like poor UX. 1) scrolling down is not a usual action to change screen. 2) Opposite action should have opposite result.

Edit: ah ok got it. It does work but not with the same sensitivity, you can scroll down but you need to flick up, most likely because you got screwed by the list of chapters which is most likely also scrollable (my list isn’t long enough to require scroll so I can’t test that). Anyway, I stand by my previous note: “opposite actions” and flick up is not the opposite of scroll down.

Promising beginning though.

Yup, for a solo project that you don’t want to share I would even argue that a forge is close to pointless.

Any ssh remote will work as a backup, you can run the ci/cd task on your own computer just fine (very likely faster even), you obviously don’t need to send PR and request code review to yourself and if a TODO.md isn’t enough to keep track of tasks there’s a billions lightweight task/note tracker.

I use github because I’m a lazy and it works fine as a backup but I don’t need 99% of the features for my pet projects.

First question is why do you want a forge ? Knowing the feature you need out of it is what should drive your decision.

Personally I would question the benefit of allocating ~5% of your work time to anything that isn’t core building your product but that’s up to you.

I doubt you need more than a notepad app. It’s what I used the last two times I had to move between countries and it was more than enough for me and customs. I simply wrote down important stuff as I put them in numbered boxes.

Spreadsheet are overkill, a note app is easy to access on your phone at all time and can be easily shared with someone.

Here’s a sample of what I ended up with:

• 15 - camera stands / shoemaking tools / notepads / trophies / guitar cable / weaved basket X2 / cooler bag / curtain rings X 3 /

…

• 25 - Nespresso coffee machine, Italian coffee maker, plates & dishes, kitchen utensils.
• 26 - casserole, dishes, plates, kitchen stuff
• 27 - casserole, cups
• 28 - wedding dress, photos, various cat stuff, photo bag

So you admit that they sometime do ? Kinda kills your whole point. 🤷

Did you write a guidebook of acceptable words and concepts in fantasy ? I ask because if you’re so bothered by the introduction of new words into fantasy literature I’m assuming you don’t read anything with any words invented after the release of the Epic of Gilgamesh sometime in 1155 BC.

It’s a violently stupid argument.

Complaining about “the way it’s included” has been a trick to try to gatekeep minorities that dates back from to the origin of time.

For those people always pretend it’s ok to include X except in “that particular context” or “in that particular way” and unsurprisingly enough it’s never the right context or the right way. Unless of course the context is out of their way.

I’ve seen the same boring argument repeated for every single minorities over the last 50 years.

I remember very well bioware games and others in past decades got the same kind of reaction because « omg gay romance, that kind of agenda shouldn’t be pushed in a video game, think of the children ».

So now the new social “battle” is trans right and the game has a gender questioning character (From a review, I haven’t played) that seems to take at most a whole 5 minutes over the course of the whole game. Why not.

Now the game has been designed to cater to 10 year old and not the older crowd who played the original so it doesn’t have the depth you’d want and the dialog is on the nose. Well, too bad. Just play something else.

The borderland serie had a story? I just remember shooting at stuff. I had fun shooting at cell shaded stuff.

I mean for a hobby project that no one cares about sure. Otherwise the whole CI/CD process was invented exactly to avoid having devs push untested and untrackable crap on production servers. So once there are more than two people in a team and paying customers with access to a lawyer that’s going to be a hard pass.

Anyway the main reason your CI/CD are slow is that you’re using $5 workers with 1Gb ram. There’s a reason the build is faster on your 12 core/64Gb laptop, the issue is usually not the process, the issue is being cheap on the infrastructure. The only good thing about GitHub CI workers is that they are cheap but performance wise they are garbage.

Honestly it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. For the period in which it was released it was graphically meh, the combat was shit, the exploration was meh minus with copy pasta generic boring cave, enemies and boring ass loot, the NPC were dumb as rocks, the questing was about being the dog in a game of fetch, the RPGing was on rail, the storyline was… Wait there was storyline? Oh yeah, you’re the one, go kill a dragon for some reason. Eh, sure whatev’ and the writing was… Well… Nothing to write about. :D

And of course, if was full of bugs and glitches and unfinishable quest that borks your save as one can expect from Bethesda.

I’m sure « Financial Market Simulator 3000 » could be fun but … meh… :)

What I’ve learned is that using distro packages for dev always bites me in the ass at some point. Absolutely need v4.0.1 of something but your distro only has v4.0.0 ? Congrats you’ve entered upgrade dependency hell.

The best dev distro should be just be a kernel and sh. ;)

A few year back it wasn’t rare to find company who were running two years behind windows update.

The fact that 90% of corporate stuff now runs in the browser has alleviated most of the upgrade issue.

A game was inspired by past games… Wow !
