  • I can't take people in sneakers walk like they don't even care about stealth

  • Closing programs

    Jump

  • Well, I don't know whether it's by default, but systemd does so - if the program doesn't close in a timely manner (or there is an exception configured)

  • How GitHub monopoly is destroying the open source ecosystem

    Jump

  • PSA: GitHub does not have a monopoly, you are free to host your stuff elsewhere (or yourself)

  • Linus Torvalds tries vibe coding

    Jump

  • Say it with me: It's not vibe coding if you read and understand the code.

    That is not vibes, that is knowing what you're doing and working based off of a suggestion.

  • India proposes forcing smartphone makers to give source code in security overhaul

    Jump

  • Man, if this was about open-sourcing, it might have seriously improved security...

  • Nvidia is reportedly bringing official Linux support to GeForce Now soon, not just for Steam Deck

    Jump

  • Valve has by no means a monopoly - they have lots of competition. They are just, hands down, the best game distribution platform available, and by a huge margin. People actively choose them over alternatives that do exist.

    Point being: They are not a monopoly that isn't bad, they have the influence they have because they are pretty darn good at what they do

    Are there ANY debuggers for Linux, that has a GUI

    Jump

  • If you would have spend the time it took you to write this rant on research, you would habe probably realized there are TUI front-ends for GDB.

  • Installing Linux on friend's new PC, which distro should he use?

  • Bazzite works pretty well out of the box and with new hardware (n = 1)

  • New Years Eve

    Jump

  • This is actually, factually incorrect. We used to celebrate winter solstice and this is directly caused by and deterministically occuring on a certain (albeit slightly blurry) point of our orbit.

  • You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it.

  • Give me a compositor with at least some of the capabilities of Awesome

    KDE Plasma.

    and some none alpha-quality VNC solutions

    The one from KDE.

    And before you call me uninformed, please explain to me why per-window custom shaders are a necessity (i.e. overwhelmingly useful and irreplacable) for anyone. And furthermore, what anything you said has to do with me questioning the necessity of not maintaining, but reimplementing X.

    I never said anything about Awesome or any X WM, I didn't even say anything about people sticking with an X environment. I commented on a post about a new X implementation, because I wondered why people go out of their way to keep X around, after its own maintainers declared it abandonware.

  • Lifehack: Gift bags save lots of time and are reusable (especially if you mind the design)

  • Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 - Plans move to Rust, with help from AI

    Jump

  • I mean, Rust has the massive upsite that it won't compile in many cases if you fuck things up. Then again, embedded or generally low-level driver-y stuff is still in its infancy in Rust. Relative to C/C++ that is.

    There is stuff that you need that has no official Rust support. There is poor documentation and half baked frameworks. There are examples being silently outdated, breaking changes between framework versions, and nighlty-versions from Github mixed in to fix them. And then of course plenty of timing and hardware dependent things you will need to do yourself.

    I do this for a living and personally tried to use AI here and there to help me out, but oftentimes it fails miserably. Not always, but very often.
