I am so close to making the switch. The only reason I haven't is that I have two drives on my computer, one with (most of) my data, and the other with windows and programs. I don't know if I can easily partition an existing drive into two parts so I can install Linux and slowly move everything over

Used Memrise to get some Swedish and German basics and it was honestly really good.

Does have an AI-chat feature, which lets you practice with a bot, but the rest of the app has no AI features that I remember.

Really liked the whole app and you can get really far without premium.

Also from Europe

For a moment there I was wondering if you had "been in" the Atlantic ocean on the US side but not the EU side

Belfast Christmas market bans sale of AI-generated art.

In Belfast, the battle between technology and tradition is playing out at an artistsโ€™ market. Organisers of the Christmas fair have banned AI-generated artwork, insisting on "human creativity" as artificial intelligence floods the art world

I'm looking for any games, mobile or even web dev work. I can code in multiple programming languages (C/Java/Python/Lua & more). I am familiar with Godot & Unreal I can do mobile & retro dev. Anything, contracting, freelance, if you know any leads or if anyone is looking to hire. Shares appreciated.

Seems like the gap was closing, and after Brexit, it reversed course and started widening.

Shit shit shit.

Difficult realization that we're financially at our limit. I need work yesterday to support my wife and I. At this point, anything goes. Full time, part time, you pay and I code for you.

I'm a 20+ year pro software/gamedev in "Fake London" Canada

Currently in Portugal and just experienced the biggest thunderstorm in my life. Sky was flashing non-stop for 30 minutes. Felt like I was in a videogame.

Norrwyn logo, resembling a badge or patch. It has Norrwyn in all caps on the bottom, on what seems to be the ground. On top of that there is a blue fox. Above that, a orange star.

Hard at work on studio rebranding. While there are still things to finalize, I'm really happy with the progress! I'm aiming to have everything ready before the end of the year. I'll likely post a write up on @norrwyn.com on lessons learned!

In the mean time, here's our (extremely cute) logo

Hi! I don't like having to ask on a public forum but I'm still waiting for replies to the contact form on the debug website & DM's. I paid for 3 months of debug and unfortunately only received #10 :c Is there a better way of reaching out that I'm missing?

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrowโ€™s budget. Details to follow.

Damn. This is amazing. ยฃ325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Literally learned about Little Rocket Lab this morning, played the demo for a little over an hour before work, and I can safely say: This game is super cute and people are going to love it.

Just got home from Nexus Games Conference. Couldn't stay for the post conference drinks, but I really enjoyed the talks and meeting the always super friendly people. Highly recommend catching the next edition if you didn't this year!
