Comment on Which Linux distro do you use, and why? in ~tech
Bwerf LinkRight now only regular Ubuntu on server and desktop. It's mostly worked very well. I don't tinker too much and "just wants things to work", and Ubuntu has worked very good for me there.Right now only regular Ubuntu on server and desktop. It's mostly worked very well.

Still probably much more that can be said though. All in all I get the impression that since Tisza is so young, noone really knows yet where they actually stand.

In the historical way, it was built on top of the rubble of the third reich to be a spy central by the americans against the eastern bloc during the cold war. It has a lot of cool "street" art and it's just a really cool place to explore, these ruins where you can climb really high and look at the amazing view. Also there's some nice nature areas around it. I can really recommend it. If you want to go skinny dipping there's a very chill place nearby called Teufelssee. Maybe a bit too far to travel if you're just in Berlin for two days, but I've been there several times and always had a great time.

We didn't go for a biking tour, but bikes are just a really good way of getting around in the city.Another vote for biking in Amsterdam, I can warmly recommend it.

If you only visit one it should probably be the Vigeland park, but you can find pictures online on what they generally look like. The Ekeberg park is much more varied for better and worse.

Bwerf LinkVery interesting, but that part about the epstein files being the reason for the iran war felt very out of place. Makes me take the source quite a bit less seriously.Very interesting, but that part about the epstein files being the reason for the iran war felt very out of place.

The main idea behind not supporting harry potter/rowling is that your money going into harry potter are funneled into making lives worse for trans people. A better parallel imho would be how paying for hollywood war movies adds money into the us army which is then used to bomb iran and also recruiting people into doing so. Or maybe how having us centric view directly hurts people in the third world (I don't know if it does, but if you believe so it would be a good comparison to make). I don't know what is right for the discussion on tildes, just trying to clarify the arguments.

There's usually a lot of dialog, loads of art for every location, many characters that need art, animations, lots of world design, etc... I also suggest doing what Akir is already saying, implement the match three to a degree that you're happy with it, polish it as much as you have the energy for, you're going to learn a lot in that process. And then start adding onto that.
About the game idea itself, I think it can work, this is all about execution and balancing the different aspects against each other.
I usually write a cli file deduplication program, i.e. finding files on disk that has the same content but not necessarily the same name. It's a bit of different data structures, standard library usage, error handling, string formatting and printing. Sometimes there's some dependency management as well if the hashing implementations are not part of the the standard library as well. At it's easiest it's pretty simple, but you can of course make it as complicated as you want as with any program.
