Can I learn Flutter basics in a week?

hello everyone, I wanted to learn flutter for more than a year now, but I never did. I think this will change soon, though. The thing is, I've been assigned to work on a Flutter project by my professor, and I have around a week before the project starts. I want to use this week to learn as much about Flutter as possible, and...

YMMV, I found the process of learning Flutter to be very quick, simple and instantly productive.

I work for a web company and floated the idea of trying out Flutter, because we were using nativescript at the time and wasn't really happy with it. The request got denied, but I decided to just go ahead and learn flutter over the weekend. Come monday, I had a working, but somewhat rough around the edges version of the app we were developing. We decided to continue developing it and has stuck with Flutter ever since.

I really enjoy working with flutter.

Reminds me of AWS Snowmobile, which is literally a shipping container filled with harddrives.

Yeah, it really sounds a bit low. I'm not sure what else goes into these containers. I assume there might also be a bunch of portable equipment and cabling that goes into moving the data in and out of the container? Power infrastructure and cooling and what probably takes up quite a bit of space as well.

This has been a great boon to me. Whenever Apple upgrades Mac OS, I check my regional equivalent to craigslist for cheap music gear that stops working. Has worked twice for me. I got a really nice 24 channel audio interface for 20 bucks.

I recently got into Warframe, and have been playing that a fair bit. Other than that, I had a blast with WH40K: Boltgun and Crab Champions as well.

I feel there will at some point be a "this is why we can't have nice things" moment with ActivityPub and Federation in general.

Karma is probably pretty easy to farm using fake home servers or botted accounts, and other kinds spam is probably going to be an issue if this platform reaches any level of mainstream popularity.

I think many parallels can be drawn between ActivityPub and E-mail, here. E-mail works, but not without a lot of gatekeeping, blocking and spam. Its really hard not to get blocked as a self hosted email server today, you are probably going to be mostly blocked by default until you build somewhat of a reputation for your server, etc. I foresee similar levels of maintenance being needed in the future in order to keep servers federated.

As far as moving your account, some things are easier than others to deal with. Things such as subscriptions and likes is probably a lot easier to move to a new account than entire post histories and such.

I think you are right for the most part. I assume that some big servers will take most of the users and that the cost of maintaining the fediverse will become quite high in one way or the other as the network grows and the malicious actors gain incentives to interact with the network.

I think the fediverse is more like the old web. I don't really consider my data very portable, but my ways of consuming and interacting with the content is. I for one don't really care if my posts go with me if i move somewhere else. If my home server defederates, then I can move to another kbin instance and my experience remains much the same. The monolithic singular identity that I can take with me wherever I go isn't something the fediverse delivers on right now, but that is fine.

This feels like a forced reddit detox.

I, much like basically everyone here, have been avoiding Reddit when possible, and the content here just doesn't hit the same. My fried dopamine receptors were certainly screaming for stimulation early on but now I feel an urge to touch grass and breathe fresh air. What is this? Am I dying? I still hate the angry lightbulb in...

Honestly, I've been off reddit for a long time. Reddit made casual lurking so hard I stopped bothering.

That being said, the fediverse has probably been the first time in some time where I've had fun on the internet. It has somewhat recaptured the old spirit of finding new interesting things and communities online, even if most of them are just lemmy instances, and the same kind of content that was on reddit.

I think the reason for the high result count is because it allows results with both fuck and spez,

"fuck spez" OR "fuck u/spez" site:reddit.com

gives around 103,000 results which is probably more accurate, but sadly less hilarious.

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...

Welcome to kbin!

I was stuck in this loop where I would instinctively type reddit in my search bar on my phone when I was bored, only to get greeted with the nag screen about making me download their app, at which point I closed the tab. I've spent way more time on kbin than reddit as of late.

I tried lemmy too, but settled on kbin, for no other reason than it looking a bit cleaner and more like reddit.

I can't remember which game was my actual first, but my grandfather had gotten a PC, probably because my uncle wanted one. It ran DOS and had some games.

It had some games on it I remember:

there were more but I can't remember them all anymore.

Some of the 3D stuff is ok.
Insomniacs after school pulls it off for the most part. (I'm not entirely sure how much of that show is 3D).

There are good works that incorporate 3d well enough, but I'm also struggling to stay immersed when things that are CLEARLY 3d is just overlayed on top of the otherwise hand drawn art.

The fediverse can never have enough memes ;)
