Yep users move over time. Its the natural order of things. I disagree with the article that moving away from SO is "bad news for developers " as long as we have something better in the works. It looks like Discord is the thing everyone is jumping on, which kinda sucks.
- Comment on Stack Overflow seeks rebrand as traffic continues to plummet – which is bad news for developers 1 hour ago:
Yep I agree. Its a combo of many different things.
I cant tell you the last time I was on SO for a question. its been that long.

The article also goes into it, but I think the invent of AI and asking somewhat specific questions may also explain the decline. If you can get a result that can get you 90% of the way there with an AI that used stack overflow as a resource, theres no reason to actually ask on stack overflow. Its faster to go on the AI result or go on google/bing/etc...etc... that has the answer right there on the page.
And the redesign....its pretty bad in my opinion.
I was once downvoted answering a question on a library....that I created on stack overflow. Still makes me laugh.

- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #16 2 days ago:
I did Linux testing of games and for the platform. This was before valve did a lot in the Linux space. You know the game dust force? One of the reasons it works for Debian is because of something I reported. It's a bunch of very small contributions over a 4 year period. Humble bundle even had their own internal issue tracker. It was technically my first fortay into QA and Linux dev work. Linux native games are awesome.
Nowadays we have proton/wine/etc... (and that's awesome) but Linux native apps have many advantages over an emulated layer. Power savings and CPU cycles just a couple. I'm glad we have so many options for games. Gog or otherwise.

I used to volunteer for humble bundle back in the day. It was a lot of work but very rewarding. Getting a job with gog could be fun. Hope they get the people they need! I've always been impressed by what they are able to accomplish!
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 3 days ago:
A repurposed old PC with something like yunohost, generic Debian, or some lightweight Linux will probably get you what you need.
It heavily depends on what programs you want to run.

Im having a real hard time wrapping my head around bondfire. It would be nice to have a standard library for activityhub in python (or other languages).

The Rom hacks like pokemon unbound are wildly successful, so yeah a hifi graphic remake would sell like crazy.

It's probably between stardew valley, rivals of aether, or cheaper world.
There's also a number that are almost perfect like wargroove, peglin, and kingdom rush.

- Comment on How do I build up a lemmy instance right from the scratch ? 2 weeks ago:
I've done it twice. Easiest is using yunohost, second is using their docker container. Both require a bit of a sysafmin background for anything with more than 10 users, at least right now.
The times I did it, I went through their official documentation and their Docker files.

Peglin for me. Cheaper world games I have an insane amount of hours in.
