  • Lemmy trolls…

    I’ve been into web-dev since 2007, I’ve been working with corporations who are processing high load traffic, including payment systems. I tell you that 80% of these work with PHP and have no major issues. Valve’s Steam is PHP even, and still does work, right?

    Have you even considered Laravel, and Symfony? Optimizations as OpCode and Jit?

    It all works and is stable. Not only that, but it’s easy to deploy and release since you don’t have to compile it every single time.
    Depending on the team, the code is greatly organized, syntax is featureful and allows for both static and runtime/dynamic safety.

    You, @Skullgrid@lemmy.world? You might haven’t yet worked in actual enterprise. You should get fundamental knowledge on the subject you raise your voice at.

    I am sorry, but please do invest some accountable time and actually read something about the subject, prior claiming people are idiots and don’t do their own research of almost 40 years of life.

    PHP is a perfectly capable and freaking awesome language for almost any web-dev and is lovely to work with.

    Oh! You might as well ask your “vibes” about the trends/statistics around the globe at enterprise, make some comparisons, or well some valuable research etc. if you are not capable to achieve the same manually, considering your infant attitude to complex systems.

    You do you, indeed.

    P.S. We may wait now for copy-pasted or LLM-generated pros/cons, too, for a sudden “proof” no one asked for.

    Holy smokes! Now this is a pure miracle exposed! An X200 Lenovo ThinkPad! ✨

    I have Debian with AwesomeWM on non-tablet awesome ThinkPad X201 i7 620M, chassis 3249CTO, I pre-purhased in 2010, and it works as a charm with KDE Plasma latest even! <3

    Magnificent support for every single hardware module… iwlwifi for the Wi-Fi, Gobi 2000 SIM and GPS, too… Everything…

    On X200, though, I would start with a minimal latest Debian install with AwesomeWM, too, and tried benchmarking.



  • The origins of my 20-year art career were not that different from many other artists. I started learning the craft by seeking out inspirational artworks, and it is something I continue to do…

    Inaccurate reproductions of art can betray the intentions that artists had for their works. Inaccurate reproductions of art can betray the intentions that artists had for their works. Artists use their passions to create original art, with the intention of offering the viewer a unique vision and experience.
    As an artist, I spend a good deal of time determining the best way to approach my work. Coming up with the original idea is just the first step. I also have to consider which medium would be best to explore the idea, materials to use with it, and the size of the work. Imagine how insignificant a landscape would be on a postcard, or how ridiculously terrifying a wall-sized closeup of a single human eye would be. I also consider if I want to paint in a lot of detail, or leave the brush strokes more open.
    All of these thoughts, and many more, are planned in an effort to get a reaction emotionally from the viewer…

    A reproduction can show the general idea of art, but it can not offer the unique experience of reflecting on the full story that an original piece offers. Original artworks feature textures, lighting differences, and environments evoking the emotions that the artist intended.

    Seeing an original piece of art in a museum is a unique, transcendent experience, substantially better than any reproduction could possibly be. With reproductions being produced with the wrong resolution, terrible and inaccurate colors, and of bad quality, the experience of seeing reproduced art betrays the emotion and intent that the artist wanted to create.
    The original artwork can educate about techniques, colors, and even movements within art history. Original pieces offer admiration of the artist, and reflection for the viewer, in unique and environmental ways that simply are not possible online or with printed reproductions.

    To truly see artwork, to find the experience that the artist wanted the viewer to have, finding the original piece of art is the best way to live through artwork.

  • To be frank, I don’t know any case when Valve forced these rules, and even when someone reported such cases to Steam support directly. The response was just - “Thank you. We will check it out.”, and that’s it.

    Self-published developers I am aware of have been considering these “rules” as fair suggestion from Valve who point out that it’s important to Valve stay afloat in competition, where many developers will just follow these getting the point, which is straightforward.

    A few developers I know do find following this “rule” a respect towards the platform in general even.
