If it integrates properly with tv that will be one thing better than Netflix at least…

I would give so much money to Patreons if I wasn’t broke myself 😅

Honestly, I’m murdering the productivity of every channel I watch anyways with uBlock origin and sponsorBlock, so I don’t think it’d be much worse

Take money from the poor while fixing nothing. Business as usual 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just want more things on Peertube.

Georgism ❤️

It’s crazy that there even are “categories” for discrimination that are disallowed. Why not disallow all discrimination, hm ?

Do these snipers ever actually intervene ?

Also, the solution is simple : outlaw guns.

Honestly you should ! Unless you want to do crazy stuff you actually don’t need to learn the entire documentation.

I was able to setup full disk encryption with encrypted boot loader pretty easily, there are great tutorials out there. I’m going to figure out Secure Boot next.

The nice thing is that once you’ve managed to do something, it’s in your config forever. My main problem with Arch was the absence of rollbacks, and having to remember all the stuff you do when installing it that you inevitably forget before the next time your system breaks and needs a reinstall. There’s none of that with Nix, and it’s awesome.

Now I’m not a shill but I did switch from Arch to Nix (because my Bluetooth was irremediably broken on Arch, and no one responded to any of my posts) and it’s honestly a lot less complicated than the documentation suggests 😆

The config file thing works better for NixOS, but the même is still very funny !

Ship them to Guantanamo ? You’re too nice. If presidents have immunity, Biden could strangle him to death with his own bare hands on live television if he wanted to 💀

I admit to not knowing how running an open source project goes, but wanting more contributors seems like the wrong metric compared to better contributors.

I understand the pitfalls of C are not limited to segmentation faults, but I suspect it would be more productive to fix C by including some of Rust’s better ideas than to throw it away, as seems to be the current trend.

I don’t think Rust is wholly bad, to be clear, but it seems over-engineered to me, and the fact its useful new features don’t even completely work (see rust-cve) isn’t very encouraging.

I would recommend listening to Jonathan Blow’s opinion on Rust, which I tend to agree with. I personally think I’m just going to stick with C until Rust either becomes the standard, or I retire and let the next generation worry about that.

Why do you want sophisticated code ? That word seems out of place from the other two to me.

Rust doesn’t introduce the same problems as C, but it sure does introduce a lot of other problems in making code overly complicated. Lifetimes and async are both leaky abstractions (and don’t even work as advertised, as rust-cve recently demonstrated), macros can hide control flow…

C is unsafe, sure, but also doesn’t pretend to be safe. C is also stupid simple, and that’s a good thing : you can’t just slap ArcMutexes around, because by the time you know how to code them yourself you also know why you shouldn’t do that.

I hope Rust can reach a point where its safety model can be formally proven, and we have a formal specification and a stable ABI so we don’t have to hard-compile every crate into the binary.

But I personally expect something with some of Rust’s ideas, but cleaned up, to do that instead. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if C itself ends up absorbing some of Rust’s core ideas in an upcoming standard.

The sadder thing is that Chinese social credit hasn’t actually even been implemented, and doesn’t seem like it’s going to. There are only limited local experiments, most of which are allegedly largely irrelevant.

Whereas there are multiple credit score companies currently tracking literally everyone who has a bank account.

According to the book, it literally is part of their religion 😅 thankfully, like most other religions, they don’t usually follow their own book literally (which would be impossible anyway since it contradicts itself in places)

This is what happens when you gut your pantheon to worship your god of war exclusively, I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

The improvement here is switching from interpreted to compiled. It could have been C, Zig, Odin, or even C++ (but thank Satan it isn’t C++)

I’m not sure I understand why people like Rust over C, although I don’t have that much experience in enterprise coding. I’m generally distrustful of languages without a standardized specification, and I don’t really like that Rust has been added to the Linux Kernel. Torvalds giving in to public opinion isn’t something I thought I’d live to see…

I get the segmentation fault thing, but to be blunt, that sounds like a skill issue more than an actual computer science problem.

Maybe if things were less rushed and quality control was regarded more highly, we wouldn’t have such insanities as an email client (or an anything client) written in JavaScript in the first place.

Rust is likely going to suffer the same problem as JS, where people indirectly include 6,000 crates and end up with 30 critical CVEs in their email client that they can’t even fix because the affected crate was abandoned 5 years ago…

Sounds like family planning ? At least ours is kinda like that ! (I’m French)

What even is a teen center ?
