I'm asking like packages/ports to install and things to install. I don't have a desktop environment yet, but I'm thinking about using i3

The title is a pun. “OREMO UTAU” means “I’ll also sing”, but is also the names of 2 programs relevant to vocal synths: Oremo, used to create voicebanks by recording your voice, and Utau, used to make vocals using voicebanks. That’s because the artist in question made their own voicebank called Karogado and used it in this song. Crosspost: https://lemmy.ml/post/20480245

Is it better to check if a file exists before trying to load it, or to try to load it, and catch the error and move on?

For context, I am trying to do a save system for a game.

I feel hopeless

Edit: I was as to negotiate with the ones organizing the meeting to schedule for another day. I may have been panicked because I stopped Prozac for a while. I'm really sorry for lashing out like that, and thank you for your understanding. I'm trying to get my diagnosis. Due to my parents not accepting me receiving mental healthcare, I had to do everything in secret. It made my life so much easier when I finally got Prozac. I could finally sleep. Little to no obsessions or intrusive thoughts. I also stopped having pica. But I can't get a diagnosis in most places without involving my parents. Until I found someone who could give me one. Thing is, if I miss tomorrow's appointment, I can no longer have another chance at it. The health system is clogged and all. I had everything planned out. Told them I was going out and all. But now, I can't, because our basement got flooded and I have to stay in order to help them. I know this is what I get for wanting the best of two worlds: my parents' support and getting behind their backs. But I just didn't want to keep suffering anymore. I just want it all to stop.

I can't help but feel bitter at the MastodonForHarris Event

I know there's no shortage on political posts on Lemmy, especially in other communities, but I don't really know where else I could post this. I've always had the philosophy that anyone (referring to the working class here) could spend their money on whatever they want without feeling any shame. Especially when it concerns donations. Donate to the cause that speaks to you more, etc. etc. But I honestly haven't considered political donations into my already bare-bones philosophy. And I think that quite shook me when I saw the MastodonForHarris movement. I understand that people want to support their favorite candidate and make sure they win so that they feel safer. But doesn't giving 500k to someone who's already rich, receives millions and, let's be honest, still works for the interests of the rich feel a little off to anyone? What hit me the most was seeing a post from someone in Gaza that needed 60k. That made me realize that 60k for someone could be life changing, while 500k for Harris could just mean nothing to her. (here's the GoFund me for those who are interested: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-donate-family-gaza-palestine-gofundme) I'm still very new to leftism, so I may be wrong. But nothing feels leftist about any of this. I know not everyone is a leftist on the Fediverse, but I felt like most of us here had anti-corporate and anti-billionaire views. And even if she is a leftist from a US politics point of view, I still can't help but feel like those donations are misplaced due to her donation pool and policies. I do not mind if you disagree, but please at least explain why.

I'll start! Vocaloid: Flower v4. I love her growls SynthV: Kasane Teto. I may be very biased here, but I really like her original songs. CeVIO: RIME. Her breathy voice is cool, and is used especially well in Utsu-P's collage. Utau: Anna Nyui. A lot of options, and a pretty versatile voicebank I love to use.

How are stats, skills, NPCs and maps stored in RPGs? And how does leveling up work?

For context, I am using the bevy engine. I know that you aren't supposed to store stuff that might contain a lot of information, such as dialogue, NPCs and skills. I already found a library that helps me store dialogue (bevy_yarnspinner), but I've yet to find such a library for other ressources. So I was wondering, usually in RPGs, where and how are stats, skills, NPCs (including enemies) and maps are stored? And how does leveling up work?

It's been a while since I've heard any news. Not that there's anything wrong with that cause you guys are working on Lemmy aswell.

Stdin takes in values from before my code even starts. How do I prevent this?

For context, I am using the libraries bevy and print_typewriter. I noticed that before the program even starts, I am able to type in characters. This is bad, since when I ask for the user's input, the previous characters are included inside of it. How do I make sure that only the user's input after the program starts, and after I print a question gets in?

Is cake a sort of bread?

So according to Merriam Webster bread is: a usually baked and leavened food made of a mixture whose basic constituent is flour or meal And cake is: A: a breadlike food made from a dough or batter that is usually fried or baked in small flat shapes and is often unleavened B: a sweet baked food made from a dough or thick batter usually containing flour and sugar and often shortening, eggs, and a raising agent (such as baking powder) And yet some people don't think that cake is bread. What's your opinion?

Can't replace hyprwayland-scanner with hyprwayland-scanner-git.

In order to update hyprland-git, I need to install hyprwayland-scanner-git. But when I try to install it, pacman says that it failed to commit a transaction. I followed the arch wiki, but unfortunately, the file in question is owned by hyprwayland-scanner, so I'm not sure how to proceed.
