    I am looking for a good European ebook selling book store? It should have English, German and Spanish books. Can anyone recommend a good store? And any good recommendation on iOS and Android reader apps. I am trying to leave Amazon/Kindle. #askfedi #books #epub #ebook

    I am currently testing PhpStorm. So far I have mixed feelings. But I propably just have to get used to it., PhpStorm has a whole set of deployment options. And I really struggle with them. Not because they are complicated but because it constantly forgets or changes the settings without me doing anything (all during one session). Built-In preview only works when you do net set a web server url under deployment, why? Took me an hour to find that.

    The Good Omens TV show is a perfect example of why some things only should have one season.

    It has become so extremely hard to find non-AI hand drawn reference images on the internet. I am about to commission another character and I did not want to send gen-AI images as reference. Behold my super duper hand drawn sketch! #gamedev #sketch #drawing

    Had a bit more fun with #esp32 and #circuitpython - I really love how quick you can iterate and protoype with circuitpython! Added a PIR motion sensor and a SR04 sonar sensor to the setup. The sonar sensor was really easy, the PIR sensor needed a bit of tinkering to understand what dial does what. Both works well. Now to set an alarm when either of them goes off to wake the device up from light sleep. Let&amp;#39;s see which one works best for that scenario. But this is so much fun!

    It seems that the answer to survival in #Windrose is to channel your inner Captain Jack Sparrow and instead of traveling by ship you travel in your little starter one man boat. You will eventually be surrounded by 5-15 Blackbeard ships firing from all cannons. But they do not hit you. Happy sailing to everyone ๐Ÿ˜Ž #gaming #gamingonlinux

    I am trying to get this TEA 5767 to work. This ESP32S3 does not have a onboard I2C so I read that I have to use 4.7kOhm resistors to create a pull-up. The device is connected to 3.3v and the pins SCL,SDA are connected to 3.3V and the pins 4 and 5 on the board. I use busio.I2C and can get a connection and lock on the I2C. i2c.scan() does not find the 0x60 address but sometimes I get &amp;quot;&amp;#39;0x8&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;0x9&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;0xa&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;0xb&amp;#39;&amp;quot;...

    Got an external USB DVD drive Today and was just testing how easy it is to watch DVDs on Linux. Was prepared to some researching and installing. But as it turns out it was just plug the drive in, insert a disc and a popup asks me if I want to start VLC or something else. Started VLC and it just works. Including the DVD menus. Best thing: this is ten times faster than TV DVD players as there are no unskippable intros etc. #dvd #linux #linuxmint

    I cannot understand why anyone would prefer having their knowledgebase and support in #Discord vs. hosting their own web accessible forum. You cannot find any of the content that is hidden in Discord if you are not on Discord. For example #nigthingale has a lot of great content in Discord and mostly outdated crappy content outside of it. This is peak closed web ๐Ÿ˜ž

    Is there a European alternative to itch.io with a merchant of record service? A platform/marketplace where you can sell your game or software and they act as the merchant of record handling the different European VAT? #askfedi #gamedev #indiedev
