Most Linux people play games, but that was not why they started using Linux. When people who only want to game start using Linux, it will become like any other OS, where protecting the uninformed users from themselves and others will have take more priority, thus limiting choices and freedom.

Gamers will not make Linux better, Linux has been nice since most people using it has an interest in Linux or open source or programming or other values that align with the community. Meaning there is a good balance between pure users, and users who also contribute in some way ( active on forums, code, etc ).

Gamer values generally does not align or even intersect with Linux communities, and the scammers/exploiters/malwares that feed on gamers will follow them. So we get more pure users, and also pure malicious contributions (viruses, misinformation, scams masquerading as game tips etc)

The funny part is that all the commenters up till now failed to leave the room :D

First I’ll explain NAT, NAT is the root of all evil. Done

It’s interesting how both of these guys who seems to both be firmly in the “don’t break shit for the users” camp, and both are very adamant about quality of code in the kernel can’t get along, saddens me a bit.

I’m excited about bcachefs, I’m even planning a migration from btrfs, but I need to battle test my offsite backup a bit more before having the guts to walk into bcachefs land.

Might wait for 6.18,6.19 or something and follow any future drama

And you are self-sufficient, or whatever the word is. But that’s the key thing for me, not having to rely on others for my services :)

Dude above you over is under the perception that it requires 100% uptime or other users to to be classified, which is wrong. You are definitely self hosting, albeit only for yourself I assume. Which is fine

Agreed, first path towards that is decentralized identities in my opinion

Let people be excited about this if they want, I don’t think it will matter that much tbh.

Let other people suggest Linux to their friends as an alternative, maybe some of them stick to using it, while others just conclude it’s crap and move on.

You should really wonder why you get so upset from this though, it seems to cause you real harm that people might be wrong on the internet.

Federated solutions are just a step in the right direction, to be able to have people access free software and platforms, they will have to do something. Either pay (which they dont) or help provide the platforms.

The first step in helping provide the platform is probably to help host the load, to help host the load, the first thing is to be able to hold your data on your devices, the second is to be able to share your data with other devices.

The first part of being able to hold your data and share it is to own your identity and hold that locally. SSI identities help with this, that means that no server needs to hold and own your identity.

If the identity is kept safe, even though you are the one storing it on your hardware,that means the data you ship, can be trusted through signing.

Once that is the case, it’s just distribution and availability. Which there already are many solutions such as IPFS, or other CDN similar solutions, that means that volunteers can provide as much data storage/distribution as they want from their own hardware.

It all starts with owning your own identity, that enables the other solutions to be trustworthy.

An app?

For a good reason

Too accurate

Could not agree less. Reading others code is easy as pie in this language. Enforced standards, good automatic comment generation.

It’s amazing

I am aware. I even saw it while typing, but it was a typo that made my smile, while offending almost no-one. So I left it there for future smiles :)

Oh yeah, not only inexperienced, but uncaring. Python is for people who truly do not care. They want it to “just work” and once it worked once, it’s done.

And then they notice it wasn’t done, slap some shifty patchwork on top of it. Prince and repeat for a truly masterful piece of spaghetti al dente

Done a lot of embedded work as well, but now mostly webstuff. I think I would prefer the embedded again, web is horrible the more you get to users and browsers, wasm isnt really all that, so many caveats.

Embedded is exhausting with its unsafe and slices everywhere. And whoever wanted most of the HAL traits to be fallible had me spinning in embedded-hal.

Why have the errors when you can’t really handle most of them?

But Jesus if probe-rs and the gang att ferrous systems aren’t revolutionizing the embedded space. It’s amazing. And now the official hal from esp32, it’s moving places!

:D mostly, there are still a few nice tools written in go that is quite useful, I just hope they will be replaced by rust software soon. Following the iroh project quite closely, I’m guessing someone will rewrite syncthing using that or p2panda soon.

But yeah, the rust Cli tools are just godsent compared to everything else. Ripgrep, fd-files, helix are used daily by me. Started using smartcat recently but I feel dirty knowing that Ollama is actually Go software…

When I need something like that, I usually go with with Arc<RwLock<T>>, from parking lot, I have not ever run into a posioned state that I need to handle.

Otherwise I have been using dashmap. But after having a team that went nuts with it, and it started having it deadlock, which they didn’t know how to handle, I am more careful.

OnceCell is also quite useful, it all depends on the situation.
