I've known #distrobox for quite a while and used it casually go get things on my system and liked it a lot. Well since I started doing #development in my free time I came to rely on this tool a lot! It gives me such freedom and ease of mind, I love it! Previously I would install #ArchLinux to get the newest dependencies & goodies. After a while I either mess things up or I switch stack, tech or something else, so I used to wipe all & install from scratch for the next "project". Now I just use #debian as a host and get all the sdk's, ide's and all stuff related in an arch container. Then export what I need.

@nelov@social.linux.pizza Damn what a struggle. I wanted to get into app coding for a long time, but android studio looks way to complicated for me as a beginner. Should i try using flutter instead?

@kde_fangirl@social.linux.pizza I'm far from being an expert but at least I also tried making a native android app as well. Google introduced jetpack compose a few years ago and it really improves things a lot! It's a much more modern approach that makes it easier to make apps. No more xml! But in comparison flutter feels easier. I also read that flutter hides or removes a lot of complexity. Starting is also super simple, get the sdk and do an "init" with an empty scafold that gives you a working "app" from where you can play and build up on. Since it has hot reload/refresh it shows changes the second you save. Due to that it often feel quicker to try design or ui changes in the code instead of making mock ups.

@kde_fangirl@social.linux.pizza I made two small apps, one for my fathers blog and one for me thats helps me manage the many daily/weekly/monthly reminders I make for myself. They are both online already. Making them in flutter was actually super enjoyable but I thought that google doesn't have the best record of keeping thing around and since I work woth typescript already it's a good idea to try out expo. I guess flutter also had the bonus of making desktop builds with ease. So I also made a linux version of my dads app for me. That lead to think, making one for windows would also be easy...well I was wrong. I spent 2 days fighting the tooling, fixing C builds, visual studio and whatnot..till I gave up.

I started rebuilding my #flutter app in #expo and #reactNative and after three days of testing on the emulator I decided to make a local build of an apk. Turns out you need an expo account to do that! Thats totally unnecessary and is simply a #vendorLockIn #greed So I'm back or sticking with flutter, at least you get total control of your own work!

I came to the realisation that #flutter is the better tech stack, but because of heavy #google involvement - #reactNative is the safest bet. So going forward with #MobileDevelopment I'll stick to #react and #typescript

So gaming has been one of my main hobbies since I was introduced to video games.
But recentl I've been feeling unsatisfactory or even mad after playing anything. I haven't been able to find something enjoyable even in my main games.

So I decided to try spending ny free time that sound interesting so I went with #mobile #development
After some trying of and a lot contemplating I went with #flutter
Even though every so often I am reminded of googles killing of own products, I feel like I made a good choice. Working with flutter is just enjoyable in contrast to web.

I can't believe it, but our company is finally switching to #playwright for #TestAutomation. It feels like I'm coming to the future or at least at the current age of technology. Makes me exited to do my job and I can't stop thinking about it even in my free time!

@protonprivacy@mastodon.social Since I'm a #ProtonMail user I was about to go all in on #Proton, but then #AI and #bitcoin happend and it makes you think again. That doesn't sound good at all. What is next #NFT That puts a bad taste, especially when it was about privacy in the first place

I had installed #endevourOs more than half a year ago with the idea of toying around & trying out new things. All this time, I expected to break it. There were even a few upstream #archlinx problems reported by many such a new Python versions. I was expecting to have to reinstall #Debian, but so far, I didn't have to! Having #btrfs making snapshots kinda relieves the anxiety, but I still kinda fear and expect the OS to break. Is my fear unreasonable & dictated by what I read from others online?
