  1. Ever play on an old MUD? I still remember those days, like a decade and a half ago now, playing this awesome MUD while chatting with the author on Yahoo chat. The commands in that game were hilarious because you could part out the monsters and eat them. Probably best that a Pokemon clone doesn't copy that idea though.

  2.  @PeakKissShot  Okay, what organizations use it? How large is their desktop user base? What hardware can it run on?

  3. Personally, I think employers shouldn't be spying on their employees. As for e-mail stuff, I would hope they'd just select recipients from their address book and thus would have no typos in the address field, but if they're sending something to someone for the first time they're not likely to be in their address book, so that's kind of tough.

  4. And yet both sides seem to be for it, especially the fascist left.

  8. I think Bulgaria's greatest claim to fame was bringing us the glory of Nina Dobrev, but this is cool too, I guess.

  9. Interesting, I'd not heard that before. Although, I personally think they need to relax the restrictions on even distilling and selling.

  10. As a Slackware user I update about as often as Slackware updates, yet I always update FireFox immediately when a new version is available.

  11. If a company has an intelligent security setup, then they wouldn't allow publicly accessible systems to be Windows and they'd have their own internal and air-gapped network and run their own cloud. With their own internal cloud they could have the system administrators install everything needed and all the computers would be thin clients. Sure, most have been doing it that way for decades, they just don't generally call it a cloud.

  12.  @daruyami  I've predominately been a C programmer over the course of my career. Would you recommend I learn Ada, even if just for fun?

  13. I will never understand how these buffer overflow exploits keep happening. It is stupid simple to check user input and not allow a buffer overflow. It shouldn't even matter what language it's written in either.

  14.  @mrsharpie7899  Obviously, you and Nick missed the joke. Where is your funny bone? We need some plaster for a cast, stat!

  15.  @xntumrfo9ivrnwf  It's not my joke. It's Distorted Noise's joke. But no one should have taken it seriously that knows better.

  16. First, it's Daylight Saving Time, no superfluous 's'. Second, full-time farmers don't adhere to a TV or video upload schedule so DST doesn't affect them at all. It's a proven fact that more heart attacks and strokes occur in higher amounts around those dates when we enter and exit DST, so getting rid of it altogether would be a benefit for humanity. My suggestion, which has repeatedly been ignored by all is to push our time up 30 minutes and leave it there forevermore.

  17.  @jR-xl5xg  Nah, just that they *should*, not that they do.

  18.  @vintprox  Nope, and I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.

  19.  @DVRC  I agree with much of that, except that due to the overhead in processing, a clean CISC that wipes away all backwards compatibility would be better than moving towards a completely RISC architecture. Moving data around is the most common action that slows things down that computers do. Having instructions capable of reading from memory and operating on that data is faster than dispatching more instructions to process the same data. And variable instruction sizes can allow for higher density in the cache which leads to faster decode and dispatch. I also fully agree with there being a lot of bad software. I've read a lot of code over the years, most of it has been bad.

  20. I know, right? I could wrap LLVM with a disgusting new language too and get the same supposed safety.

  21. I'm sure others use the same technique, but I've learned to type in a certain way so that I could just remember a phrase as my password for any given login and then type it quickly while the end result looks nothing like the phrase I memorize.

  22.  @chrissquid  Agreed, third party on Walmart's website is a horrible idea.

  23. Within the past couple of months the FreeDOS guy made a few videos on using `ed` on DOS. You should check out his channel as he's got some cool videos. You should also consider picking up a copy of QBasic if you're going to keep playing with DOS and play some Nibbles and Gorilla. Although, I would edit Gorilla to speed it up and make the explosions bigger, because that's more fun.

  24. I'm still burnt out on flagship devices from major manufacturers. I'm looking into building my own with a Raspberry Pi.

  25. I'd swear they're soft blocking them because I can't set the quality above 720p and ytdl keeps reporting 'throttled' for half the formats so I can't even download half the videos to increase that.

  26. I'd rather be off the grid than use FaceBook, Twitter, or any of the rest of those mental cancer websites. Even YouTube is starting to metastasize. Not that it was all that great in the first place, but it used to be better.

  27.  @JodyBruchon  Indeed it did, even just attempting to run something offline doesn't work in far too many cases without patching up a lot.

  28. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that dev posted his credentials publicly on purpose. Even if it was on accident, we should all take a moment of silence for him and hope his wife is allowed to bury her husband in accordance with his last wishes.

  29. Install LFS-ARM on it and make it a whole video series.

  31. All I have to say is, don't buy an iPhone, and if you buy an Android phone, swap the OS as quick as you can. Otherwise, get a Pinephone.

  33.  @WadieGamer  If you're only playing old games it might be perfectly fine. There are even some reverse engineering projects that have done native engine ports for some old games, like for the original Half-Life you could use xash. And since Doom 3's engine is open source it's been ported too. I play the original Unreal quite a bit and it runs perfectly through WINE.

  34.  @antonliakhovitch8306  Very apt name for it.

  35. Yep, pretty much.

  36.  @gagagero  It kind of is. You have to check for an error then acquire some kind of result from it. So it's a two step process whether you want that or not.
    1
  37.  @vladlu6362  Uh huh, sure. So when you're forced to check for an error you know won't happen, which will make your code slower, the errno method means you don't have to check and your code can run faster. In a critical inner loop that matters. You might need to check for debug code, but Rust will make you check always unless you write a lot more garbage. So either easier to use when you know what you're doing, or harder to use because that's "safe", despite it not actually protecting you from every error. If that's too much for your tiny brain, let's simplify it: C method safer and cleaner, Rust method not safer, not cleaner, more annoying.

  38.  @Chris-on5bt  I already know how it returns, and it's a boolean error condition. Which means you have to do further debugging to get the type of error. If you don't understand that then you've failed to understand why it's wrong. A two path switch isn't as useful as a 20 or 30 path switch that will tell you what error occurred.
    1
  39.  @Chris-on5bt  Or we can directly jump where we need to go instead of having a two step process for determining if there was an error then process that result.
    1
  40.  @gagagero  The type of result changes based on there being an error or not, that's the very definition of forcing two steps on you.

  41. I never noticed when Dolphin got tabs and I still don't care. I mostly only use tabs with Firefox and Vim. If I need multiple folders open at the same time for any reason, I could either open Dolphin, or open a new tab in my terminal, or just do what I usually do: foo=`pwd`; cd bar; mv [a-z]* $foo/baz # or something along those lines.

  42. Oh yeah, tech literacy is a huge problem these days, even amongst my fellow techies it can be. People declaring that ChatGPT is AI forgetting that the I means intelligence, being a prime example of such. You're right that people are willfully ignorant now because 60 years is definitely enough, if you ask me, and computers haven't really changed that much in the past two decades. Yeah, faster, more RAM, more storage, blah blah, but basically the same as they were 20 years ago. Most of us even still use x86-based computers and for those that only know crappy ARM devices they generally have no clue how that computer in their pocket actually works and they don't care. Apple's "what is a computer" ad tells you all you need to know about modern humans.

  43. Isopropyl alcohol is the miracle drug. It has so many cleaning uses and yet it's perfectly safe for so much. Just don't use it on painted surfaces as it will strip paint. Ask me how I know.

  44. The goal isn't actually to make the site profitable, it's to bring it down from the inside while giving the appearance of attempting profitability. The really funny thing about all of this is that Elon Musk doesn't even realize that's what he's doing.

  45.  @eDoc2020  Yeah, and time consuming. Storage is certainly becoming less of an issue these days, but it would still cost a lot for an index of the internet.

  46. Personally, I don't think humans will ever be capable of creating true AI. Which is really a good thing because if they did, it would destroy them all. You're certainly right about some humans sounding like bots, though, because I've noticed this amongst nearly all left-leaning humans. They're incapable of understanding others point of view and their point of view is entirely programmed into them. Sadly, a lot of so-called open minded people tend to be very close minded. Part of the problem with AI would be that if it was immoral it would kill humans for sport, if it was moral it would kill those who couldn't pass the test and eventually that would be all humans as everyone lies at least once in their life. So if there are humans who might come close to making true AI, you should fear what they create, or mock them because they likely won't succeed anyway. Humans really aren't intelligent enough to create AI.

  47. Personally, I wish there was a law requiring firmware and drivers to be open source. Operating system, individual programs, sure, close them if you want, but firmware and drivers should be open source. Furthermore, I think there should be an open standard for how drivers should be written because we need x86 and ARM developers to have the same methodology. I, for one, would absolutely buy a piece of hardware that I could plug and play with my Raspberry Pi and desktop computer both, even if it was a $5,000 graphics card.

  48. Keep learning C, it's a better language if you know how to use it correctly.

  50.  @gd44481  They already have the infrastructure setup to encode every video, and they do on a regular basis. How do you think a person can upload one file and every conceivable format and quality is available? Inserting ads would actually be a simple addition to the process and for a company that literally employs thousands of programmers it'd be done in 5 minutes.
