  • rust takes AGES to compile literally anything. also the compiler on i686 requiring SSE2 instructions is a massive thorn in my side as a old computer user and is the primary driver of my hatred of rust lmao. it gets in my way quite a lot since rust has creeped its way into a lot of open source projects these days

  • androgen blockers are to block testosterone production, or testosterone's bodily absorption

    when you take hormones orally by swallowing, most of it gets filtered out by your liver. this is why oral estrogen sits under your tongue for 20 minutes so it can absorb into your blood directly

    injections are always the superior method anyway but not everyone can get them sadly

  • thanks windows for validating my unhealthy paranoia around privacy

  • unless you're ready to spend hours of your day doing research online scraping ancient fourm posts so solve "weird issue the car is having #1356" and then spending the rest of the day using your garage full of tools that you definitely have to fix said issue, dont buy a car as old and run-down as that one.

    I own a 199x honda integra with 25x,xxx miles on it, its a phenomenal car and runs fantastic, but god damn if it sometimes doesnt throw the strangest issues at me. many of which stemming simply from the fact its over 25 years old and parts age and degrade.

    like i tell all my non-car-person friends, dont get a project car unless you want to be poor forever

    basially, unless you know what you're getting into, and are ready to become a car-person, dont.

  • there's absolutely some crazy levels of embezzlement happening all down the chain

  • me with dev-lang/rust

    i hate rust only for this sole reason of inflating my compile times because its used in little bits and bobs of seemingly everything nowadays

    also the fact it mandates SSE2 cpu instructions on x86 has put annoying roadblocks on various projects of mine...

  • "You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to C."

  • USA went and banned import of the cheap chinese EVs so your only options now are $70k SUVs and the elon bazinga-mobile lineup

  • ancient hexbear history. who is still seething over this? its long past us, wreckers are such sorry people

  • dumb question but when i have a lap to submit do i post it as a comment here or make a new post

  • nice driving! im interested in this even though im pretty mediocre at sim racing.

  • just get a flip-phone with SMS capabilities idk, this light thingey feels like a grift

  • how could you commit such a despicable act

  • from my experience tinkering with it years ago the OG pinephone has awful performance due to its very old SoC. No matter what distro or GUI i used it was unbearably stuttery and slow even just swiping through the home screens.

    the pinephone pro theoretically should be a lot more modern and performant (its also more expensive), but i dont have one yet so i cant say too much on it

  • all the laptop OEMs are marketing "thin and light" nonsense that all it does is make interfacing the device more of a hassle and also burn your legs off easier.

    i will never let go of my 1.25 inch thick chonk-top with multiple full-size ports

  • please post link, i need to see this
