@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! you can define that by prefixing your command like 'PROTON_VETSION="3.7 Beta" protontricks (whatever args you give it normally)'

you can also make that variable stick around until you close your shell by typing: export PROTON_VETSION="3.7 Beta"

i don't know if that's the right thing to set it to, but that's how you'd do it

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i guess setting the environment variable isn't enough?

hmm, maybe seeing where it's pulling the original directory from might give some hints?

if protontricks is a script, try just opening it with a text editor and seeing if it's hardcoded, or what environment variable it needs

if it's a binary maybe "strace protontricks (your args) 2>&1 | grep 3.7 -B2 -A2" might spit out something meaningful?

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz splatoon dreams are fun! but it's probably a bad sign when you get bodied in your own mind

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz maybe setting your launch parameters as 'PROTON_VETSION="3.7 Beta" %command%' might help?

and if not, maybe you can symlink the bin folder from beta into the other one? (ln -s /path/to/bin /path/to/3.7)

you can drag and drop files and folders onto your terminal, so you don't need to type those paths out

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz ohhh! nice rank x power!

(and you know what? i should play some splatoon soon too)

i actually already knew that, but i decided somewhere along the way that mentioning things that might not ever get completed was just setting others up for disappointment

but on the flipside, seeing interest in things i do is motivation, and having it out there is more motivation on top of that!

hm, maybe come new year, i'll have to shake things up a bit!

it's kinda strange how i use masto like a staging area for thoughts

i felt like i kinda painted myself into a corner with most of my social media where i don't do anything except post stuff that i spent a lot of effort on

but i'm noticing that it seems like the idle thoughts along the way are far more interesting than just having a general "list of things i've done"

@Draekos real talk though

i find that knowing peeps who like a thing normalizes it for me

i mean, there's a lot of things that just aren't for me! but the list of things that actually bother me has gotten really small, and mostly stems from my being icked by dirty things

@Draekos humiliation--the gateway kink

@dosnostalgic i found it!

https://userstyles.org/styles/161094/hide-twitter-garbage

@dosnostalgic oh no

if you're open to the idea, i think there's a set of userstyles that hide other people's likes from your timeline if that's the only thing stopping you from following them

@LongLevy in my case, i take off the month where business is the slowest

my pitch was that burnout is extremely bad, and this is a pretty good way to help avoid that

actually, helping others with burnout is a good strategy to raise awareness too--and it helps others!

the idea is that even though i'm out, if something bad happened, they can message me if i'm really needed, and until i'm back, there aren't new features and stuff

@LongLevy oof, one of those

i work for an extremely small company too, but everyone knows what i can do

maybe you can start drawing attention to your abilities somehow? maybe by explaining big things you overcome? maybe by detailing things to look out for, and why they matter without getting long-winded?

if you mange to make your value known, a lot of things become significantly easier to negotiate--and that might include breaks to do things you like!

@noctilucent ooh, that's not shabby at all!

i telecommute most of the time, and it's basically great! the hardest part is self-control, but if you use things like the pomodoro technique, or keep a kanban with the promise that you won't over-complicate it, you can often be extremely productive, and feel nicer overall about it

@noctilucent good luck..!

if you've decided what you want, avoid being ambiguous and i think you'll do fine! ^^

@LongLevy oh no

depending on what your work is, maybe you can negotiate certain time off in exchange for added responsibilities?

i do that to take december off when i can--but maybe you can do that to scratch your art itch when you feel it?

@XerTheSquirrel right back at ya, @XerTheSquirrel..! ^^

i hope your day is all kinds of sweet!

going back and trying to write Common Lisp really makes me appreciate how simplified Clojure made a lot of things

like, with-slots, destructuring-bind, multiple-value-bind, let, and let* in Common Lisp all can be handled with Clojure's let macro

heck, Clojure vectors basically remove half of the reasons why you'd ever want to quasiquote (especially outside of a macro)

huh, neat

gboard's glide typing randomly decided to break on me, and clearing its learned words fixed it

i really wanna know what word did that for, uh, experimentation reasons
