There’s no point in talking to Trump because he has shown time and time again that his words are worthless. He’s also an attention addict and megalomaniac, so talking to him, especially if it’s televised and on the world stage, is giving him exactly what he wants.
There’s literally no reason to buy a game until the minute before you’re going to play it. It’s not like digital copies sell out or takes time to ship. Add games you want to play to our wishlist and buy them when you’re actually ready to play them.
Fedora Linux has been the most stable OS in my experience, having used Windows XP to 10 and switching to Linux before 11 came out. I can leave it on for literally weeks on end and the memory never randomly fills up, nor does it get more and more glitchy/crash prone as you leave it on, both of which I have experienced on Windows.
FOSS is not American. Foss belongs to literally everyone.
Absolutely.
Fuck you Trump, fuck you Musk. Canada will prevail.
Your pain receptors fire at some fixed threshold so anything beyond that very suddenly gets uncomfortable.
Why aren’t “alternate syntaxes” a thing? You can pretty easily just write code to convert between C-like and Python-like syntax. Why aren’t there IDE extensions that let you write in python syntax and automatically commit the standard syntax.
I hate it when China and North Korea kill numbers. Like I’m just trying to count stuff here and you’re telling me that 9 is dead?
Why would anyone bother writing it like that? That just seems like int main() with extra steps. Like does auto enable some compiler optimisation of the return type that I’m not aware of?

bug fix uncovers code that was relying on the faulty behaviour to work properly
FUUUUUUUU
Every time Rust takes forever to compile something, I picture in my mind it checking every possible edge case and buffer vulrnability I didn’t check and suddenly I’m a lot more okay with how long it takes.
Reminder that Linux’s decision to write an entire kernel in C and not a mix of C and assembly was just as controversial back then as Rust vs C is now. The pro-assembly programmers used many similar arguments as the anti-Rust programmers (it’s bloated, it’s too high level for the kernel, it has a complicated compiler, it’s just a pointless abstraction over what’s actually happening at the processor level, it’s not mature enough, if you were competent in assembly you wouldn’t need to use C, if assembly is too difficult for you then you shouldn’t even be developing a kernel, etc). Now Linux is hailed as one of the pioneer software projects that led the switch from assembly to C for kernel level code.
If even senior C developers can and regularly do write critical memory vulnerabilities that can give attackers remote code execution as root, then I’d say it’s indeed already broken.
“We don’t need TCAS on commercial airliners because any colisions are the pilot/controller’s fault”
Except that’s literally the reality with computers. Everything evolves and things go obsolete. I’m sure the COBOL and Fortran programmers were pissed when the kids started using C too.
Obviously it’s because China and North Korea, being totalitarian dictatorships, have made suicide illegal and punishable by death!
(I have literally met someone who thought that suicide is punishable by death in China. Like if you try to kill yourself and survive they’ll finish the job for you.)
IMO every distro should have a rolling release option. Kind of like how OpenSUSE has the normal version and Tumbleweed. You have normal version for when you need the OS to work (you’re new to Linux, it’s your main personal/work computer, it’s a server, etc) and then you have the rolling release option for when you’re willing to give up stability for the newest versions of everything as soon as possible.
China has a really high population so the total count numbers are going to seem high.
The second column tells you that it’s a whopping 0.6% of China’s population while every other country is between 2.7% and 8.5%. Guess which country is the 8.5%
Bring America’s enemy is dangerous, being America’s ally is fatal
