Compile times say otherwise

F# definitely and maybe Haskell and OCaml as well? Elixir and Erlang use it as a binary concatenation operator.

You’re downvoted, but you’re 100% right. The web is designed to not break. Engineers who can’t accept that don’t get to complain

Engineers don’t know how to manage or include designers in their process. At least all of the “full stack” and “front end” devs I’ve encountered — almost always they never know how to do a single thing about design unless they have some background or appreciation for it.

At some point there’s proprietary stuff in our bodies, be it a driver, a BIOS or the code that runs on the various microcontrollers that run low level functions from the USB ports to simple power management.

The most “security paranoid” organizations in the world usually run a lot of stuff on children and babies are full of opaque and proprietary code and they consider it “safe enough”.

People are replacing lost/damaged organs and limbs with computer-controlled hardware. The same problems that occur in computers that exist outside of humans will occur in computers inside of humans. Do you trust non-open drivers from Corporation X or Government Y in your eyes telling your brain what you do or don’t see?

That’s the extreme, of course, but it isn’t any less scary than computers you trust with your credit card, bank account, etc information.

Open source drivers means when corporation X goes under, your hardware still can work and isn’t automatically abandoned. It keeps more hardware out of landfills longer, with the ability to drastically reduce e-waste.

You make wonderful points, but I think we can both agree that I’ve demonstrated that there is value open source drivers, however insignificant they may be in comparison to non open drivers isn’t really relevant. It shouldn’t be such a shock an individual may want an open source only version of Linux which is the topic of discussion here.

For some reason libs decided to give up firearms in hopes that the cops with guns would protect them… from cops with guns…

If you go far enough left you get your guns back y’all

True, but functional languages are great if you want to live comfortably.

I don’t think it has kernel anti cheat tho. Runs just fine on Linux without root permissions

Damn, getting downvoted for just stating my experience. It doesn’t require kernel level access on Linux and runs fine—it’s not a stretch to think it doesn’t have kernel level anticheat (it doesn’t on Linux, just on Windows).

skulbuny ,
@skulbuny@sh.itjust.works avatar

Does that function the same on Linux?

skulbuny ,
@skulbuny@sh.itjust.works avatar

I really do not understand how server anti cheat is not way easier. I feel like devs are caught up on realtime anti cheat and not willing to do anything asynchronous. Or they really like paying licensing fees for client-side anticheat. I just don’t understand how any competent software engineer or systems admin or architect trusts the client so fervently.

Have you seen Elm’s error messages? They were what inspired Rust to have its error messages.

You can just look at the source code… no need to assume anything. You can’t prove a negative lol

Looking forward to hearing that the arm stops working after company folds and nothing can be done because the software was closed source

Yeah, that one. Definitely wish it was FOSS so these people won’t be dependent on corporate intellectual property existing.

By your own admission you are punching down or sideways at best. Punch up. You see what you want to see, you aren’t the only person in the world who’s a card carrying union member here nor are you the only person who cares about workers in any non-tech industry here. Class infighting is about the dumbest thing ever.

Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11 (m.youtube.com)

The YouTube channel “Maximum Fury” conducted a technical test of the new Cyberpunk add-on called “Phantom Liberty” on an older AMD hardware system, testing it separately on Linux and Windows 11. The Linux system, specifically the Fedora distribution called Nobara, performed significantly better, delivering 31% more...

Yup, you just gotta set the right environment variables. Can’t remember them off the top of my head though, “NVAPI” is part of one of them I think. Don’t have an nvidia gpu anymore, though, switched to AMD about two months back.

Rant about Nvidia related updates on Linux (kbin.social)

There are many reasons to dislike Nvidia on Linux. Here is a little thing that bugs me all the time, the updates. Normally the system updates would be quick and fast, but with the proprietary drivers of Nvidia involved, it gets quiet slow process. And I am not even talking about any other problem I encounter, just about the...

I switched from a 3070 to an Rx 7900XT on Sunday. Uninstalling all of nvidia shit was great. I used linux-zen so that meant using nvidia-dkms. So happy I don’t have to deal with that anymore. And yeah, I use a lot of flatpaks, so removing all of those nvidia drivers was also a great feeling. And now I can use Wayland!
