I feel the same every time I see JavaScript. C++ is one of those ugly but also elegant languages you should try at least once.
Disco Elysium hands-down. Has a brilliant story with a bunch of branches, it's a great way to kill 20+ hours.
A shorter experience but one still pretty fun is Thank Goodness You're Here which is a comedy with brilliant voice acting and setting. 2.5hrs ish.
All you need nowadays for a decent Unix-like is compatibility with a handful of Linux softwares and a web browser. Hell, if you could get WINE working on your kernel you could maybe support as many Windows apps/games as Linux for free.
The big issue, as I see it, is performant drivers for a wide range of hardware. That doesn't come easy, but I wonder if that can be addressed in a way I'm too inexperienced to know.
But projects like Redox are a genuine threat to the hegemony of Linux - if memory safety isn't given the true recognition it deserves, projects like Redox serve to be the same disrupting force as Linux once was for UNIX.
If anything, the constant coddling of a few aging individuals within the kernel and the protection of their comforts is why Linux has been so slow to adopt technologies and paradigms that developers are begging for.
Linus complains of dev burnout starving the kernel of contributors, but the processes and technologies driving kernel development are antiquated, and the very suggestion of change is either discarded or makes you the target of a public shaming by Linus himself.
It was never about replacing C with a new language for the sake of novelty, it was about solving the large majority of security vulnerabilities that are inherent in memory-unsafe languages.
If Rust were to implode tomorrow, some other memory-safe language would come along and become equally annoying to developers who think they're the first and only person to suggest just checking the code really hard for memory issues before merge.
The video attached is a perfect example of the kind of "I'm not prepared to learn anything new so everyone else is wrong" attitude that is eating away at Linux like a cancer.
If memory safety isn't adopted into the kernel, and C fanaticism discarded, Linux will face the same fate as the kernels it once replaced. Does the Linux foundation want to drag its heels and stuff millions into AI ventures whilst sysadmins quietly shift to new kernels that offer memory safety, or does it want to be part of that future?
Say what you like but I can actually access communities like !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and the few Lemmy.world boards I was using before I moved.
I have no context to the thread that caused this struggle session but as a vegan and someone who knows for a fact people will take that shit out of context anyway I know that most vegans will either not have pets, or if they do don't go as far as to malnourish it.
Most vegans interested in a "vegan cat food" are purely seeing a bunch of tinned/pouch food that claims to be nutritionally complete. I know that for some here the assumption is that vegans are trying to force feed Mr fluffles a carrot and kale soup.
As for whether that food is nutritionally complete depends on the animal, the brand, the testing, and the regulations. Turns out there's a lot less rigor in ensuring foods are safe for animal consumption compared to humans!
The takeaway overall, imho, is that this is one of those times where having an "/R/all" frontpage makes for a great opportunity for a pile on, followed by mod overreach, and then a weird ass ToS change that's more to spite a few people than to do any good.
Lmao all this over meat eaters getting mad at vegan cat food? I'm genuinely impressed that redditors are managing to turn Lemmy into a caricature of the godawful website they left.
GG
This is the limitation with policy made by people who just think "science" is when you quote an opinion with an article in a journal.
Decades of climate denialism, anti-veganism, and "race science" is perfectly acceptable under these rules because you could simply post studies funded by Exxon, meat and dairy lobbyists, and right-wing think-tanks which support their conclusion.
"Science should prevail" nerds could do well to consider that perhaps we have other means of identifying malicious behaviour. Any kind of checkbook exercise or algorithm that can pluck truth out of the air won't work; the scientific method was never intended to declare X or Y as permanent facts the way we use it online.
They're not going to take out the internet lol. At least if you're not in Ukraine that is.
True, though for most game/graphics developers you're never interfacing directly with the graphics API, you'll let your chosen engine/library do the heavy lifting.
It does have the downsides of increasing the barrier to entry for custom/bespoke engines but those edge cases seem to be covered well by DXVK.
The only ads I saw suggested it was PS5 exclusive lmao. amazing job Sony
