  1. Supreme Court has already ruled on this (Pennsylvania v. Mimms, Maryland v. Wilson, etc.), if you are being detained during a traffic stop, an officer is permitted to order you out of the car. You can go ahead and REQUEST a supervisor (they have no legal obligation to come), but either way you still have to follow lawful orders if awaiting a supervisor arrival. Being a DoorDash driver or speaking softly is also not a legal defense to literally anything, though I am sure that doesn't need stated.

  5. I am pro White, and support them above other groups, this does not mean that I dislike other groups, I merely have a higher priority for my own group. I expect other groups to feel the same about their own people. This has been the way of the world for all of its history up until like 5 minutes ago when America starting pretending otherwise, and all of the West followed obediently like lemmings.

  10. Zig is the first language that I have seen in decades that has hope for being a true successor to C, both technically and in spirit. C is and has been my most beloved language to use, but Zig is looking to be sooooo good. It really does seem to have pulled off being C without the legacy crud and hidden gotchas. My biggest fear for it, and have seen with other projects, is that the developers won't know when to stop adding features (yes, this is a direct insult to C++ and ready to be towards Rust). Go has its own purpose and priorities, but this is one area that they have pulled off perfectly: anyone with programming experience can learn the language enough to be halfway-competent with it in an afternoon. Once the addition of async is complete and part of the the stable language spec, I hope development slows down on feature additions, and goes the route of "quality over quantity".

  11. This. OSS does not have the "perfect" solution, and many of its criticisms are valid to varying degrees, but it is still miles beyond anything proprietary and/or closed source. It is also disingenuous to always frame OSS as software that anyone from anywhere can just push code into. I have rejected plenty of PRs to my own projects simply because I felt they were outside the scope of what I wanted it to be. Not every projects is out to accept any 'ol PR that adds a new feature, I am not alone in wanting to keep the scope of my projects well-defined with a reasonably minimal API surface, and I know I am not an exceptional case in this regard. Not every project is trying to be a Swiss army knife.
    53
  12. ​ @student9941 ...did I miss the part where OP claimed that C++ was the first OOP language? I am confused why you are arguing a point that no one made.
    51
  13. Zig isn't quite ready yet, but it already synergizes with C much better than Rust ever will in both language design and its community. A large portion (most?) Zig devs are also C devs, use C in their Zig projects, build C projects with Zig's build system, etc. There is mutual respect between both groups, not one group forcing their way into a project and making demands.

  14. 0:16 "Odin is geared towards graphics" is a real misnomer about Odin that is purposefully pushed to try and give the language an identity. It does absolutely nothing special with graphics, nor have anything "built-in" to the language for graphics. The took the code from other developers bindings projects for OpenGL, GLFW, etc., and slapped them into the "vendor" directory to be available for a default install. There is no special "low-level language optimization" being don, anyone could accomplish the same by simply adding/creating these bindings themselves, as is done with literally every other language and project that uses them. It is mildly convenient to get a project up and running quickly without, but anyone who is serious about making a game are going to spend an afternoon to fine-tune some custom bindings that are purpose built for their needs.

  16. I didn't even want to like Go, but it just happen after getting familiar with it. I was simply experimenting around with it for the sake of learning, and I figured it would be beneficial to at least be familiar with it since its popularity was growing, and it ended up being one of the first languages I reach for when starting some new project where it makes sense.

  19. This is bit of a red herring nowadays, akin to a Windows user still saying "you can't play games on Linux" in 2023. It was definitely true in the past, but the Arch ISO has shipped with an automatic install script for a few years now, and will get you to the same place base system with a DE, graphics, audio, localization, etc. that even a Linux newbie can understand. It might not come pre-packaged with your favorite theme already applied, but even that is accomplished by simply typing in the name of the additional theme packages you want during install selecting upon your first boot.

  23. Just let the OS clean it up when we are done, amirite? I say we stop concerning ourselves with trivial matters like RAM, and just treat our applications like one big arena allocator managed by the OS. If we run out of RAM, we can always download some more, so win-win.

  26. EternalBlue (WannaCry), SolarWinds, and the list goes on... And here we are in an uproar because of an exploit that was on-par with them almost getting by. I understand that some bleeding-edge distros were actually effected, but it was caught, if even only by chance in the 11th hour, before it had a widespread effect. I imagine the long-term result is going to be positive, as people are now aware of attack vectors that we have taken for granted, and more vigilant of them.
    28
  27. I finally decided to sit down and learn go ~week ago, and I am astounded on how easy it is to learn. I am currently sticking solely to using standard library and implementing my own functionality instead of importing 3rd-party packages (for the sake of learning), and am really pleased with how smoothly it has gone. I am already writing some personal CLI tools that are of production-quality, with very limited experience in the language.

  28. Oddly enough, switching between Linux and Mac is relatively easy, as they both adhere more strongly to UNIX principles, file hierarchy, the concept of package managers, etc. I would disagree with your comment about things changing too quickly, that is completely your choice. There are multiple iterations of each major desktop environment, but there is nothing so drastic between them which would make someone not know how to use them from one version to another. For people who like things to stay the same, there is Mate, which is based on Gnome 2, which was released in 2002, and is till going strong as a popular desktop. Windows 7 was released in 2009 and is well past its end-of-life and support cycle.

  33. OOP is a great paradigm for humans to conceptualize ideas, but is bad for how machine code actually executes. I started with Ruby and then C# (both strong OOP) when they were each the "hot" language of the era, and it wasn't until I moved onto to C and other systems-level languages that I realized OOP is not the ideal way to program. It was a great for me from a learning perspective, but it took time to break myself of OOP practices when learning other languages.
    21
  34.  @mgord9518  Legend has it that entire generations developers didn't have the access to languages with automatic everything, and somehow they still managed to learn. This is like debating whether it is better to learn to drive with an automatic or manual transmission. There are strengths and weaknesses to both arguments. Framing it with binary narrative about people not knowing anything else or not knowing enough is not based in reality, and detracts from whatever point you were making.
    20
  35. There is no such thing as a memory-leak safe language, and likely never will be. The misunderstanding comes from three things: 1. People who don't write systems languages and don't fully understand the difference 2: Rust zealots constantly boasting about how safe the language is and often implying such indirectly 3. People love to hate Rust because of #2

  36. It should be noted that this is not exclusively an "Ubuntu" problem, as "needrestart" is not developed specifically for Ubuntu, nor maintained by Canonical. The package is also available on other distros via their package manager, Ubuntu Server just comes with it installed by default.

  37. For me: Micro for light-editing, config files, small scripts. VS Code for larger scripts and mix-language projects (i.e. writing C extensions for Ruby) The suitable JetBrains IDE for large projects and enterprise languages like Rider for C# or IntelliJ for Java (though rarely). Years ago when I was still using Windows, I was a Visual Studio fan, but would never use it again, even if using Windows, and would definitely stick with a JetBrains product. EDIT: Although this video is nearly a year old, I had tried Fleet on early-access, and was unimpressed by it personally. It might have its niche uses, but overall, it seems like there is always a better tool to use instead.

  38. I gave it a try for a few weeks, really didn't see the appeal of it over Linux. The cons outweighed the pros IMHO, though I would use it before switching to Windows or Mac. More adoption and software support would be huge win, but this is the classic chicken/egg problem.

  41.  @jojo-gy9pp  Whether you agree with it or not, "safety reasons" can simply be the officer being more comfortable with his safety and feeling more comfortable with the person not being in the vehicle. This has held up throughout case law, I am unsure if there has ever been an instance where an officer ordering a person out of care during a legal detainment has ever been deemed "unlawful". If it helps knowing my perspective, I am by no means a fan-boy of law enforcement, and are as critical as any reasonable person should be, hence I have made myself familiar precisely where my rights begin/end in such situations. This simply is not one of them, the officer was well within his legal authority to order him to exit the vehicle. There is practically no scenario where this is not true that will stand up in court, assuming the initial detainment is lawful, which it was in this case.

  46. ​ @Bruh-sp2bj  I feel that Zig is to C what Rust is to C++. Comparing Rust and C has always seemed strange to me, akin to comparing Ruby with Bash just because both are scripting languages, but otherwise different and unrelated in nearly every other way.
    17
  47. ​ @tiranito2834  The term "memory safety" has an actual meaning in its context here. I don't even particularly like Rust, I went the Zig path myself, but this argument doesn't even make sense as a "gotcha" against Rust. I personally am not aware of a language that is immune to memory leaks, and AFAIK, no one has ever claimed that Rust is. I think too many people simply don't understand what "memory safety" means, which is evident my some of the replies here.

  48.  @riseabove3082  The conversation was about the pros/cons of different Linux distributions in regard to configuration and software support between them. I must have missed the part where it was yet another "Windows vs Linux" gaming conversation. Windows is better for gaming across the board, in every category. I have never claimed otherwise. I am not 12 years old, so do not play Roblox or Fortnite, so couldn't care less about them either way.

  49. LowLevelLearning did a really good job explaining the exploit, as he usually does. It is actually an impressive exploit, kudos to the random guy who found it by digging into why his logins were taking longer.

  50. It makes more sense when you realize that "teenager" is a code-word for something else when the media doesn't want to state the obvious. This isn't actually about "teenagers", "youths" or "kids" obviously. Sure, there are people in this group that could technically be defined as a "teenager", but that is hardly the defining characteristic, and there are other adjectives that would describe the demographic of the group more accurately.
    16
  51. I enjoy writing Go, but my biggest "wish-list" item, even more than enums or ternary operators, is that they would sprinkle in some syntatic sugar for error handling. A basic "try" keyword that would executing a command, and automatically return an error if the last argument was a non-nil error type and the function returned an error as its last return value. That alone would cover a ton of scenarios.

  52. Firefox never needed donations. The "non-profit" Mozilla Foundation is just used as a tax write-off for the (for-profit) Mozilla Corporation, this is a very common business practice. You may as well donate money to your favorite car manufacturer.

  53. Yeah, anytime your lawyer is trying to convince you that you should stay in jail, get a new lawyer.
    16
  54. False dichotomy. There are other tools like (i.e. Valgrind) that can be used to alleviate most memory issues without the need for Rust. We don't all need to drive around wearing helmets and 5-point harness with a roll-cage for a trip to the grocery store either. Being "more safe" isn't always practical, there is a balance that Rust developers seem incapable of acknowledging when making hyperbolic analogies like this. Memory safety is a obviously a good thing, and Rust does it well, but this is not the be-all-end-all to development like Rust users think it is, even for kernel/driver development.

  55. I literally add custom "Conduct Yourself However You Want" CoC to my projects. It is pretty brief, but essentially just states that I am not your mother or your spiritual leader, and am not going to dictate how you act. If I don't want you interacting with my code, I will remove you, simple as. I don't need an excuse or exhaustive list of nebulous and subjective buzz-words to describe it. People really need to stop being so sensitive about everything and come back to reality.
    15
  56. I am currently learning the ropes of Zig, and have been looking for a practical application to learn with. My typical "goto" project type to practice with is implementing some serialization/serialization format or a basic 3D voxel game, but implementing an interpreter seems like a great learning exercise, for both the language I am trying to get familiar with, and interpreter concepts.

  57. I wish it was simply a matter of them being too old to understand, unfortunately time after time has taught us that it is more a matter of who is lobbying for them and writing the biggest "donation" check to their campaigns.
    14
  58. I am not against the inclusion of the protocol whatsoever, but there should always be someone who pushes back, even if only playing devil's advocate, and make the advocates make a case for it. Adding features just because someone, somewhere, might find them useful is how you end up with X11, where no living person knows the entire API.
    14
  59. Your point is well-taken, but let's not pretend that the stereotype doesn't exist for a reason. I don't think anyone is under the illusion that drama is exclusive to Rust, but is the the chief offender in the entire ecosystem. Wayland drama is usually people (such as Brodie) over-dramatizing what is going on, while Rust's drama often stems from over-emotional public temper tantrums by its most notable users.
    14
  60. Totally agree, the simplicity of Go and how easy is to learn is its #1 selling point. Anyone with basic programming experience can learn Go within days, if not hours. They might not be a master of it yet, and getting familiar with the ecosystem just takes time, but the language itself is dead-simple.
    14
  61. C will never die. Tons of "low-level" languages have come and gone over the years with the goal of being a C alternative, and most have faded into obscurity. The base libraries that pretty much everything is built atop relies on C in one way or another, and it is just too much to "rewrite it in Rust" or whatever other "hot" language is stylish to use that year.
    14
  62. The same can be said when comparing kitty, alacritty, and wezterm, etc. Ghostty is just another addition to this group of high-tier terminals. Reasonable people will disagree on which is best, and it is no one's duty to try and sell you on which one is good for you, the decision is yours alone. If you like it, then use it. If you prefer kitty, then use that, the feature-set for each is on-par.
    13
  63. There is something to be said for a language designed so well that it funnels users to making the correct decisions simply by its syntax, and not requiring them to be a guru or understand the inner complexities of the compiler in order to game the system and get the best performance. Obviously Rust has much better potential in the "raw performance" category, but it all came at the cost of a clunky syntax and some very aggravating paradigms. I have been doing some Zig lately, and while it is not without its quarks, its approach feels to have struck a better balance between safety and usability. It has the guide rails, and forces the developer to be explicit when disregarding them, but not so obsessed about it that the language on a whole begins to suffer from it.
    13
  64. Lol, I literally clicked because I thought they were addressing that. What a joke Fox News has become. I stopped watching all of Fox aside from catching Tucker, but there is literally zero reason to watch it anymore.

  66. People/groups with their mindset never do, they will go to their graves blaming their woes on everything but their own actions (or lack of), and will continue to double-down. If they loose half their user-base for banning people, they will simply ban members who bring that up as a topic of concern.
    12
  67.  @TheBlueThird  I completely agree that X11 will be around for (likely) decades longer, but at this point, Wayland has already displaced it for the "top-spot", and the major distros/DE's are shipping with it as the default session type. It won't be long before X11 support becomes a second-class focus for projects, and you will start seeing "this feature is not supported on X11" instead of vice-versa.
    12
  68. I love C, but Zig has captured a new place in my heart. It has protections for common errors developers make. It isn't as memory safe as Rust, but it solves many of the C foot-guns, while also not feeling like you are being restricted by the language, you are free to "override" its protections, but it makes you do so explicitly. In practical idiomatic Zig code, you get most of the protection of Rust, while not fighting against the language or dealing with its complexity. It is still not 1.0 yet and missing a some features, but definitely something to try out and/or keep an eye on if you are a fan of system-level languages. I feel it is to C what, Rust is to C++.
    11
  69. I did the rm -rf on home once before. I use zoxide, and didn't notice that it had "corrected" my previous cd command. I did it with verbose flag, and I found myself suddenly watching the terminal text flying by, telling me in-detail specifically how it was destroying my soul. I hit it with a interrupt before it finished, but the damage was done. I just ended up reinstalling my whole system, was easier than trying to figure out the mess I made. Luckily most anything critically important is always backed up on other drives and/or git.

  70.  @anneguetschow3932  If you don't see the possibility of a conflict of interest here, there is no hope for you. Put ideology aside for one moment and look objectively at the direct facts of the situation. Parents are mad about an issue. His son-in-law (and by extension his own daughter) stands to profit even more if the parents get their way on this issue. He seeks out prosecuting these parents. Dress it up however you wish, those are the facts. This is unquestionably a situation someone would seek out an ethics review before getting anywhere near it. Ted Cruz adding a bit of a extra flair on top of it does diminish the underlying facts.

  71. Imagine in 2024 still believing the narrative about 9/11 that we were sold.
    11
  72. I don't understand this. Any test that leaks memory in Zig will show an entire stack-trace of where that memory was allocated, and anything that requires heap-allocations requires an allocator to be given to it. None of this changes based on whether it is a solo-dev, a large team, or many independent teams. If memory is handled incorrectly, it is immediately obvious and you can quickly know exactly who/where the problem comes from, this entire concept of not being able to be confident of others in a large project because of this is premised on your own misunderstanding.
    11
  73. You will take the webp and you will like it.
    10
  74. Memory safety and memory leaks are unrelated to each other. Rust offers no more/less protection from memory leaks than any other language does. While it is an understandable misconception, novices and non-programmers seem to conflate the two concepts quite often.
    10
  75. ​ @Ripcraze  The"with data collection" was the more important, and I am assuming, the primary information trying to be conveyed. Commercial use or not is irrelevant for most people, employers either pay the bill or JetBrains gives out free licenses to any promising project that asks, so few independent people are paying for it for the purpose of hobby-coding.
    10
  76.  @alvarohigino  I don't know, I personally cannot name any remotely popular language that has grown near as slow. C17 didn't add any language features. C11 was pretty much just threads. After that we have to go back to C99, which was probably the biggest change in recent history, with revolutionary concepts like stdint.h, booleans, and inline comments. If memory serves it also added variodic/inline functions at that point, which is a rather large change for a language like C, though would only bump a minor revision in any other. Before that was the Lord's version: Holy C89, so that is over 3 decades where I can list 90% of the of "bloat" in a brief YT comment from memory. Tooling has increased by leaps and bounds, but that isn't the language, so not really a fair metric.

  77. There are numerous reasons "why" Windows is popular for desktops, but the most dominant reason is simple: new computers come with it. There is a few niche manufactures that offer Linux. and of course System76, but this is generally true, and will ensure that they always stay on top. Linux users simply expect to reinstall their OS when purchasing a new machine, and everyone else expects Windows and isn't using Linux anyways, regardless of how terrible it is.
    10
  78.  @isodoublet  They really aren't, and nobody has ever considered as such. There is no such thing as a "memory leak proof" language, and likely never will be. I am not a Rust zealot, quite the opposite, I think it is the most over-rated language in that last 20 years, but I don't let this bias my own judgement just to have a "gotcha" in the comments section of a video. Memory safety is about accessing illegal and/or out-of-bounds memory. Any language that has IO alone can have memory leaks (files, sockets, etc).

  79. ​ @isofruitfruit9357  Perhaps I am simply misunderstanding the term, but what was "racist" about what they said? I thought DEI was "diversity, equity, and inclusion"? Does that exclude a particular race?

  80. I don't particularly have an opinion one way or another about password managers, but there is legitimate and logical reasoning to that argument. I would say is most fair to state that managers simply move the problem-space. Technically managers are adding a new attack vector, but are likewise helping to alleviate human-error. Comparing these two is apples/oranges in regards to which is more "secure", and will vary greatly from user to user.

If the developers feel the need to go out of their way to tell me what was never asked, then I mat reconsider my options based on that new information. There is a distinct difference between someone answering what was never asked and others digging through their garbage in search of something to feel outraged about.

  87. Ironically the growth of AI garbage is helping GPU vendors support Linux more, as it has expanded the industry to be more than just game studios who choose DirectX because of the Microsoft money. Realistically Vulkan and DX12/D3D are comparable technologies, they are both abstractions over the same hardware instructions, but Vulkan being open-source and running natively on Linux platforms makes it more attractive to the expanding industry which relies heavily upon Linux. I doubt we are going to see a bunch of AAA game titles coming out with native Linux versions anytime soon, but this is one small step towards it.

  88. I honestly think that for newcomers, it is more important to explain the difference in desktop environments, and worry less so about the distro it is running on. They will learn the differences and experiment on their own in time, but it is not beneficially to overload them with distro names that are all equally meaningless to them. They are going to base their initial experience based on what the DE is, not the nuances of package management, init systems, X11/Wayland, etc, etc., which are foreign concepts to a Windows user anyways. While I don't neither a DE nor a Debian(-based) distro, my typical approach is to have them look at screens for GNOME and Plasma, decide which they like better purely based on aethestics, and then choose a popular Debian(-based) distro that supports it. They can experiment and distro-hop all they want later, just get them up and running with something that isn't broken, and they enjoy the appearance of.

  89. Probably yes. having errors as values is great, it is just the constant "if err != nil { return nil, error }" clauses instead of having a built-in language feature that simply automated this. Some syntatic sugar like "file := try os.Open("path")" to automatically return the error as long as both functions have an error type as the last return value would make it significantly better.

  90. I have never even used Twitter, but it isn't 2022 anymore where it is fashionable to pretend that we are all financial wizards and know better than people who make billions doing it successfully. Even a glance at any recent traffic analysis shows that it is currently on a very significant upward trend in popularity. It would seem that the artificial hype is just that: artifical.

  92.  @hamobu  Arch has been around for years longer, not sure why you said, but it is a moot point and has no bearing on the topic. I don't really care what others use, nor what companies support Ubuntu, it has no bearing on me using a personal computer. I assume by "companies", you actually mean Steam. With the exception of software build specifically around the package manager of a distro, there is practically no such thing as a something that works on one distro and not another. That is another red-herring that makes little sense from a technical standpoint.

  95. It doesn't "target" Python, it targets the fact that the program is using a user-defined environment variable to choose an interpreter (of any language), which is capable of code execution with elevated permissions. Regardless of which language was used, it would have been just as vulnerable, even if it were some niche language that isn't installed by default. If the program needs to execute an interpreter to function, then it is obviously going to be installed, doesn't matter if it was as a dependency or part of the base installation in the distro.

  103. ​ @fr3ddyfr3sh  Yeah, aside from package management and its tooling (which actually removed/simplified a lot of cruft) and the addition of a very minimal generic implementation, the language has not undergone any radical changes since its inception, mostly just minor syntatic-sugar and QoL stuff, bug fixes, performance tuning,, and fleshing out the existing standard library. Minimalism is still the dominating design-philosophy, even in some cases where it would actually be better to not be so strict IMHO.

It is a completely irrelevant point, and has absolutely no effect on determining self-defense. He shouldn't have been there, so he should have just allowed himself to be killed? That is the alternative that someone is really saying when they say "he shouldn't have been there", which is absolutely absurd, disgusting, evil, and categorical irrelevant legally.

The language does not somehow work differently based on whether someone believes utmost in human rights, or wishes to exterminate all life on the planet. It is simply an odd place to broach the subject, like feeling compelled to state your sexual orientation while ordering fast-food. I understand that if you are part of an ideology who does this it might seem normal, but it comes across as bizarre for everyone else who correctly understands these subjects are unrelated to each other.

  118.  @mgord9518  Punch cards are obsolete because no one uses them, including the hardware that supports them. C is not obsolete because essentially the entire ecosystem of all programming is built, and still being built upon it, with it and other languages that use it. One does not have to like it, and may wish otherwise, but calling it obsolete is factually and comically false. Yes, it has tons of legacy cruft, literally no one denies this. Yes, it is easy to shoot yourself in the foot. Yes, there is tons of complexity around the tooling. ...and it will still probably be like that and popular as ever 30 years from now. The recent additions other system languages like Rust, Zig, etc. haven't even put a dent in its popularity, not usage. I personally dislike JavaScript, but saying it is obsolete because I feel it fundamentally does things wrong would be silly. There are legitimate arguments to be made where you don't have to immediately jump to the realm of silliness. the world isn't going to get re-written in Rust anytime soon.

  123.  @fluffy_kitten  You can catch a clue to the context in the very beginning, but the video suspiciously tried to omit that part, and also failed to supply it in the description, which is unlike the usual for this channel. The one officer mentioned something about him failing to identify himself, which seems to be where things begin to escalate. Unfortunately, Illinois is a "stop and identify" state, so personal feelings about such laws aside, he would have been required to provide it, even if not operating a vehicle. I do find it a bit odd that this channel framed this event as "officers just trying to help" and failed to provide this context,. It wasn't their "help" that caused the problem, it seemed to be their using this encounter as a precursor to something more. Does seem to be uncharacteristic for the channel to do this.

  128. You will never regret your choice. I jumped to Linux during the Windows 7 era, and am affirmed in my decision with every new Windows "feature" that gets added. The initial growing pains and feeling foreign goes away, and eventually Windows will feel like the foreign system; you will wonder how you ever used something so clunky and unintuitive. Windows feels intuitive to Windows users only because it is the baseline that most first become familiar with, not because it actually is. I don't believe I have ever heard the story "long-term Linux user switching to Windows and loving it!"

Most people don't even know if their own jurisdiction is "stop and frisk", "stop and identify" or neither. Knowing this alone would solve quite a few of interactions that go bad. In either case, when you have a taser/gun drawn on you, it is not the time to plead your case, even if you are correct. Your rights are going to be violated, and it is better to file a civil liberties case after the fact, which you need to be alive in order to do.

The one and only thing that matters is the code that the put into the project, and "working at Microsoft" is not indicative of literally anything related to whether or not they have nefarious intentions.

No one can prove a negative and cite something that does not exist, but merely try to explain how the fundamental legal system works. We began with a clean slate. Everyone is allowed to do everything imaginable, and then added laws that restricted that to something capable of sustaining a society. The difference between "not restricted" and "permitted" might sound the same, and of our normal consequence in everyday life, but from a legal standpoint are vastly different. The government does not "permit" anyone to do anything, our system is designed upon the truth that we are free, and it can only restrict . Hence our "bill of rights" is a list of negative rights: it doesn't tell us what we are allowed to do, but instead is a list of things that government is not allowed to do.

The 18th Amendment effectively added the restriction and then it was repealed by the 21st. The first section of 21st doesn't read "people are allowed to consume alcohol", it reads "The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.", removing the restriction and returning it to the default state of freedom.

Your address is simply where you say you live, there is no one coming around to check, and this includes on tax returns, government ID, etc. Microsoft sure as heck isn't having teams of people following their employees home. I never expected that I would ever encounter someone who unironically denied the existence of fake identities or that is was possible for people to simply lie. How fascinating...

  188. I tried Go ~4 years ago, thought the syntax was strange, and I didn't really give it an honest chance, just dismissed it as "yet another language". About a year ago I gave it another chance, and ended up really liking it once embracing it as its own thing. It is currently my "go-to" language where it makes sense, so I am happy that I gave it another shot.

  189. People are allowed to hold guns in their hands. Shooting them for this alone is not reasonable. This blind support for police is baffling, police must be held to the highest standard possible, not given the benefit of doubt in every situation. Your right to due process is paper thin during police interactions, as they have been granted the authority to execute you, this video being case and point. You better make sure that they have peak levels of discernment, not give them a pass because "it is hard job" for everything. The standard must be higher, not lower than the average citizen would get.

  190.  @TheMachina42  I would have to try them to see how it is different, so my opinion is not worth much, just based on my impressions. Aside from the alignment, which might simply be my own ignorance on how it is done, I can already do those, though I won't discount that perhaps multi-cursors offer a more ergonomic approach to it. I have reservations on if it would be "worth it" to invest the time in learning a new editor, based on these features differences alone. To be fair, I once said the same about neovim, and ended up falling in love once I gave it a chance.

  191. Package management is the only real difference between distributions. This is what makes the tons of <DISTRO NAME>-based superfluous IMHO, but to each their own. The very few "grandfather" distros like Arch, Debian, etc. are the only thing that matters. After that, it is all just a matter of which configuration of someone else's settings and pre-selected software is preferred, but all that can be achieved without an entirely new distro

Zig has a cult-following, literally aims to be "better C", yet C and Zig communities have mutual respect for each other with little/no drama whatsoever. It is likely a vocal minority of Rust users who give it a bad name for others, but this minority seems to be its entire leadership, both in the foundation and the community. We unfortunately only ever see the worst-of-the-worst, as the "normal" users are simply minding their own business.

  205. Zig appeals more to C users, and Rust appeals more to C++ users. Not sure why Rust/C are so often compared, they are hardly even comparable aside from both being systems languages. I don't bother spending much time comparing Bash and Ruby just because they are both scripting languages, it really isn't a productive comparison.

These people calling themselves "software engineers" is the exact same energy of a fast-food worker referring to themselves as "line chef", someone working at a call-center being called a "communications executive", or the copy-boy at Kostkos being a "reprographics expert". None are "technically" incorrect in the strictest sense of the words, but it is an attempt to project a much higher level of skill/experience than it actually is. It is somewhat deceptive to everyone except others who understand the field and can correctly recognize the distinction of knowing a little JS compared to being an experienced programmer.

It provides better understanding into the cost of all the abstractions other languages offer that many take for granted,. It makes one become more conscious of what is really happening a few layers down., and adjust the coding style accordingly, resulting it more optimized code.

  219. With a fair foundation in programming, you can seriously learn Go in a day. I mean that literally, not being hyperbolic. I regret not learning earlier because I thought it would be large investment of my time, as most languages are in order to become proficient with them. You can be proficient with Go after a week. The syntax is dead simple, and the core language features are very few. It will take a bit longer to familiarize yourself with the standard library, but it is intuitive and has what you expect where you would expect it, and all follows the same conventions. Scan the overview of the few basic types in the documentation, and you can learn the rest as-needed with inline LSP documentation in your editor.

  225. ​ @zizlog_sound  I agree, but to be fair, nearly all distros are just toy projects where someone wanted to make their own "default" configuration, selection of installed software, and branding. There are realistically only 4-5 relevant distros, which all others stem from, and they all exist without any consequence whatsoever to the ecosystem. Unless you are writing some uber-specific software (i.e. package management), there is no such thing as developing for a specific distro that other distros will not also benefit from.

  229.  @penguin86bitals  Exactly. I think this is a huge misconception that people who don't write code, but are somewhat familiar with technology, do not understand: memory safety has nothing to do with memory leaks, it merely means a program cannot access illegal/out-of-bounds/garbage memory by accident. They seem to equate "memory safety" with "prevents all memory bugs", which is patently false.

The downside is you need a system with two graphics chips (e.g. integrated Intel and discrete NVIDIA GPU, etc), otherwise you have to "switch" them, which is not without problems. You can literally add an entry to your boot loader for the KVM installed OS, and boot it normally if you so wanted to, or boot an OS installed on another partition without shutting down Linux.

When a movie is good, it typically keeps my attention and I stay up to watch it, but this one is simply failing to capture me. There is definitely some woke garbage intertwined in it, but I will say that it is a little more subtle than Twitter would have you believe it to be, and it would all go right over the head of a normie. Even being subtle, it is a turn-off. I am so sick of political programming in my entertainment, and it is getting so difficult to find any without it, it is only getting more obvious.

  246.  @elimgarak3597  Its boilerplate. Compare it to a language like Zig, which is far, far more about explicitness, one of the core goals of the language design, down to every minute detail, and compare it to Java, which is far more wordy. Java is verbose for the sake of being verbose, even when it offers no additional information, which makes just useless filler.

  247. I exclusively use Linux, and hate Windows, so believe when I tell you that no one is going to hold it against you for using Photoshop for image manipulation. I think GIMP is a fantastic tool, but no one honest is going to try and imply that it is even close to being equivalent to Photoshop at the professional level. GIMP being free and running natively on Linux is its only advantage over Photoshop. Adobe owns the market and has the resources to make sure it stays ahead, so there is no shame for GIMP, the fact that they are even mentioned together is testament to GIMP's power, but it is not even a competition between the two for anything serious.

  250. I have a feeling the judge would strongly consider a directed verdict if the jury somehow concludes he was guilty. It is refreshing to see a judge who is just legit "normal" and actually conducts himself accordingly, with the law as his guide, and not politics. A directed verdict at that point would leave it open for appeal, but I doubt any prosecutor would be insane enough to attempt the case a second time. It was insane enough they decided to charge the first time.

  251. ​ @linkernick5379  Because adoption of a language is not dependent on whether or not it is possible to cause a segfault? If this was the metric, then Rust would also be disqualified. While Zig is not as memory-safe as Rust from a technical standpoint, in practice it is on-par with it and they are about equal, while also avoiding much of the extra crud from Rust syntax. If you are writing anything that resembles conventional Zig code and using its language features, as you would for any other language, a segfault is not something you have to worry about. You can write unconventional Rust code that segfaults, it doesn't mean it is an unsafe language.

  252. For a country that supposedly respects the rights of the citizens to be armed, it is crazy that the "law enforcement" is so cowardly when it comes to the mere site of it. Perhaps people should respond to armed police the same way that they respond to armed citizens... Before some boot-licker responds about the "dangers" of policing as some lame cope, it should be noted that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, policing doesn't even reach the top-10 list of dangerous jobs, nor are they more likely to become a victim of a firearm in comparison to a normal citizen.

  253. Meh. Just another of many that takes Arch, adds a couple settings and selection of software to install that anyone could do during a regular Arch install, and calls itself a distro. I fully support anyone who chooses to use it, more power to you, but for me personally, I just don't see the point of these other than being someone's hobby project. I would be much more excited to see completely new distros that weren't Debian/Arch/RH based, or at least used their own custom DE that wasn't just a preset theme on GNOME/KDE.

Jokes aside, their is nothing Arch-specific regarding trackpad, this sounds more like an issue with your desktop environment and/or configuration, which actually installs trackpad-related stuff as dependencies.

  264.  @WMan37  The drivers (i.e. dxvk and others) can be local with the game folder, that's what wine overrides are for. Many installers for games on Linux do exactly this. I understand that you are settled into your familiar way of doing it, but nothing you listed is somehow only possible with flatpak. Many others do it their familiar way that accomplishes exactly the same end-goal without flatpak. A binary driver sitting in your trash folder works just as well as one in /usr/lib, you just need to make sure your game/prefix knows how to find it. Neither is better/worse, and I am not recommending against your way, you should do it the way you choose to, but just informing you that you are not actually reliant upon it for the same result. If for some reason you couldn't use flatpaks, there are alternative and common ways of doing it you could explore.

  271.  @rjawiygvozd  I think it is hard to call it great, or even good, as the idea behind it is flawed from the start. It's main primary selling point is that it tests for longer and is supposedly more stable, but then it allows users to install from the AUR, which is intended for Arch and its packages that are already out of testing, causing actual instability that far exceeds anything an extra few weeks of a testing phase would accomplish. If we ignore this, you are left with what is essentially a re-branded Arch with a selection of software somebody else likes installed for you, and a GUI to downgrade the kernel, which is of course only going to cause instability. It is unironically far, far more unstable than a basic Arch install could ever be. I prefer vanilla Arch, but if I were to recommend a distro based on it, it would not be Manjaro, but something like CachyOS or Endeavor that actually do it well.

  276. No one is "mad" about this, most especially Arch users. The distinction is and has always been annoyance of people flooding the Wiki with repetitive questions about their new installs, having used some third-party script to accomplish it, and not even understanding what it did nor have the know-how to help you debug it for them. If the person asking doesn't know what their install script did, how is someone else supposed to for them? When you have an "officially supported" way of doing it, it gets exactly that: support. All this aside, Arch has had multiple iterations of an officially supported install script, this most recent one is merely the latest iteration since the previous one was deprecated in 2021. No clue why you are suggesting this is something new or that some faceless group of people are somehow upset about it.

  277. Gentoo taught me that I much more enjoy binary packages. A few years ago I tried it for a period, and did like it, though the tinkering became overkill to me. I love setting up a new system, and still take time to fine-tune and tinker here and there, but with Gentoo is just seemed like a never-ending process. After a while, I found that I was spending more time than I preferred tinkering with my system instead of just actually using it. I respect those who stick with it long-term, but for me a couple months was more than enough to realize that source-based packages is the line where tinkering becomes a chore.

There is absolutely nothing whatsoever preventing anyone from using the language or interacting with the project.

  283. I feel that saying "it's just a difference of syntax" is way to reductive, as these differences dictate how the language is written and what it is used for.Your same argument could be used for manual memory vs garbage collection, OOP vs functional, or any other language paradigm that dramatically shapes a language.

  284.  @bot1511  It would largely depend on your background, but nothing really specific beyond just "use it". Once you start creating more complex applications beyond tutorial-esque examples (might have to just slog through it at first), the design choices, which seemed odd begin to make moe sense and feel natural. Other things like the order of types/variables just need to overcome the muscle memory of doing it the C-style way. Embracing the "functions are first-class values" and "composition of inheritance" paradigms and using them effectively also helps break the old habits.

Ironically the original reason that led me to switching to Wayland was that wine was not running a game I wanted to play, but for unknown reasons it would work in Wayland (I assume using xwayland). I never did investigate the root cause, but I eventually ended up switching my primary machine to use a Wayland-only environment, a this situation caused me to give Wayland a second-look and realize that it was now viable for full-time, daily driving, even on my Nvidia card.

I haven't experienced it myself, but the fix has finally been made and was accepted in a PR a few weeks ago. Once the next release starts hitting the mainline repos for the distros, it should generally end the "NVIDIA is bad on Wayland" issues, though I am confident that the reputation will continue to be propagated for years as people keep parroting the same outdated information in order to sound informed.

Most sensible repo-type sites use a "display name" and separate "slug" for a unique identifier that is more restrictive in its naming convention.

It is easy to say you support free speech when only exposed to things that you find "proper" or agree should be permitted, the only test is if you actually stand by your stated convictions when you find the speech objectionable or abhorrent. If you think some speech should be banned, or that absolutionists are "problematic", then you don't actually support free speech, and are using incorrect terminology.

  305.  @CjqNslXUcM  The "defense" is that bash is not intended nor designed to be a full-featured language, and if you try to use it as such, it is not going to be a pleasant experience. Would you complain that Excel is an inferior technology because it was difficult to make games using macros in it? When bash isn't enough, then use a fully-featured scripting language like Powershell, Ruby, Python, Lua, etc, which is specifically designed for such applications.

I couldn't care less if others choose to use this service, I just don't want to ever see it in my system. I don't use KDE nor GNOME, but it would be very disappointed to see such giants in the Linux world prioritize this type of development as they move forward, but there is no evidence of that yet to get excited about. It should also be noted that Flatpaks have nothing to do with statically linking libraries at compile time, these are entirely unrelated concepts.

  309. The entire ecosystem around it is just plain awful, beyond just the plethora of issues with the language itself, the insanity of dependencies and packages being used for every little thing chief among them. It seems to be the culmination of "bad ideas" of other programming languages all crammed into one, and then that made the conventions by its users. It always sounds elitist, and is typically said in a rude manner, but there is some truth in the claim that someone who only knows how to write JS is not a programmer: the language itself leans hard into making sure that awful programming practices are the norm, and someone who only knows that language is none-the-wiser.

  310. "Just a text editor" that is 300 MB and takes multiple seconds to fully start up. When I want to use a lightweight code editor, why would I not wish to just use a lightweight code editor that has all the same functionality, is 6 MB, and starts up in milliseconds? If I want an IDE experience, I expect the heaviness, but I fail to understand the desire to have it when it isn't necessary. That is the point people make. It is the heaviness of an IDE with the base functionality of lightweight code editor. It would be better to pick one or the other, because it is bad for both worlds: it instead sits in the middle as either a bloated code editor, or an IDE that lacks basic functionality, depending on how you look at it.

  312. Tabs in a graphical terminal and multiplexing can be used for a similar purpose, but are not the same thing, there is nuance (hence there are terminals that even have both). If your only concern is managing multiple "views" in a single window and using it like a tiling window manager, then it really doesn't matter which you use, they both accomplish the same task well in that regard, but for sessions, SSH into servers, etc, simply adding a tab/split with a fresh prompt isn't very helpful.

  313. His first mistake was identifying himself to the police when he was merely a passenger. Texas is not a "stop and identify" state, and he was a not driving, therefore any "reasonable and articulatable suspicion" would be unfounded, and police could not lawfully order him to provide it. Just because a police officer requests your ID does not mean that you always have to give it, know your state statutes. There is zero benefit in helping police when they are looking for a way to charge you with something.

I admit that I often do choose one of those over C lately, but this is mainly because I like to expand my knowledge with new languages, not because I feel there is something inherently bad about C.

  325. I have been on Arch for about a decade, and don't really have any incentive to make any changes to my daily driver, but Void is definitely a distro that I have been interested in. I have been tinkering with it in a VM for a bit, and it does seem very solid, I believe that I would already consider it my "second favorite" distro. I know that systemd is controversial (with merit), but I personally don't take issue with it, so the "no systemd" on its own isn't enough of a factor to make me switch. I opted for the musl variant, and it is interested using a distro without systemd and GNU tooling, and learning the various alternatives.

  326. Same here. I have been writing code for a nearly two decades, so using grep is pretty much just adapting regular expression syntax to grep, no different than using a different language. sed and awk are still something I need to look nearly every time, though I typically just using alternative tools or make my own when needed.

  330. I used chaotic for years, but ended up removing it about a year ago. I had only used a couple packages from it, which I no longer required, and occasional keyring issues combined with version conflicts of some packages made it more of a headache than it was worth for me personally. I would recommend that every Arch user scan over the "Unofficial user repositories" page of the wiki, there are quite a few out there which can be very helpful for different needs. Back when I used to write more Ruby, I found the "quarry" repo to be fantastic, allowing me to use pacman for managing nearly every gem beyond what comes in the official repos.

  331. The Ubuntu/Manjaro hate is just typical gate-keeping BS. They aren't for me, but I couldn't care less what someone else prefers, I hope they feel as satisfied as I do with my own setup that is not them. As for systemd, it isn't "hate" as the typical gatekeeping thing, it is usually a philosophical criticism. It is far, far more than the advertised "init system", very monolithic, and its dependency spreads throughout a system, totally defying the Unix "do one thing" idea. That said, I have no problem with it, and prefer systems that use it. It works well and stays out of my way. I am not that big of a purist, and the same argument could be made for any largescale project like GTK, x-org, etc.

  333.  @linkernick5379  You do realize that you can segfault in Rust, right? It takes unconventional code to do so, and the same is true for Zig. Don't drink the Rust Kool-Aide and actually believe that a segfault is some impossible scenario that could never occur, it is simply not true and can be demonstrated clearly in a line or two of code that will happily compile successfully. Not using the language features that do guarantee safety is not a metric of anything, Rust is not standalone in this regard, Zig has similar features in place to prevent this from accidentally happening, and will likewise fail when you choose to ignore them. I did not say that Zig has advantages over Rust other than a cleaner syntax, they are both powerful languages, and I enjoy using both of them, I am simply not some fanboy who feels the need to evangelize them with patently and provably false mottos like "guaranteed safety".

  349. I think raylib is cool project, but it is somewhat niche IMHO. I feel it is a layer of abstraction that most don't need, or perhaps more accurately only a brief stepping stone from a higher-to-lower level abstraction (the same goes for SDL). If you become skilled enough to use raylib competently, then there is no need to keep using it, and it is far more effective and flexible to simply use GLFW, OpenAL, OpenGL, etc. directly without the additional layer of abstraction over it. It sits in a weird "in-between" place of "not flexible or low level enough for serious development" and "not abstract enough for newcomers".

Whatever you write to it would need mapped to CPU space and transmitted over the bus no? From my understanding, you don't actually have a pointer to the GPU memory, it is simply the API's abstraction on how to use it, meaning they both have the same level of abstraction, DX12 just does it in a more intuitive and less-verbose way using a primitive pointer everyone understands.

  360. Like everything, it is context. When directed at someone, especially a woman, "sl*t" is probably more offensive, but simply as a word to be spoken aloud in polite company without being used as a pejorative, the other is typically interpreted as being more offensive and crude, at least in American culture. This can be observed even in FCC regulations for television, etc.

  361. It isn't that it can at compile time, it is that it where it is used would only need to be calculated once, not with every iteration of the inner loop. The relationship between the numbers in the operation is constant. Here is a flattened and simplified example that conceptually illustrates the same problem: x = <unknown until runtime> y = <unknown until runtime> z = x - y Now, if with each iteration you add 1 to both x and y, do you really need to recalculate z with each iteration? The code in the video has such an issue, it is just far less obvious because it is using nested loops and a modulo.

  362.  @markstone1619  Thank you, and I agree, it seems that too many people move to the extremes on the issue, whether it be the "ACAB" crowd who think all LE are villains, and the other extreme of "Thin Blue Line" flag wavers who think that police can no wrong. The way I see it, police are just as fallible as any other person in any other profession, and are merely a necessary function for a civilized society, neither good nor evil by this fact alone. I 100% support the need for LE, and realize that they have been given authority that should and must be respected, but likewise must be held to a greater standard and more critical when mistakes are made, as their mistakes lead to the loss of freedoms and even death in extreme cases. So basically I respect the position and the authority that has been granted to them to wield, but at the cost of being more critical of them than I would of someone who messes up my fast-food order for this reason. While many are constantly promoting "better training" for LE, I truly feel this is only half the equation, and citizens likewise need to better educate themselves on their rights, and what authority police do legally have. There is indeed a time and place for a citizen to stand up for their own rights and respectfully make it known that they feel they are being violated, but videos like this are poor examples of it when they are incorrect in what those rights are. I would recommend that people balance out their "PoliceActivity" views with other channels like "Audit the Audit", which do a good job breaking down situations dealing specifically with civil liberties in an unbiased manner. Reading case-law is also great, but obviously not everyone finds that interesting.

  363.  @gregkasza1925  Yes, that is the entire point the guy in the video doesn't understand. Being told to get out of your car by a police officer is a lawful order. You are legally compelled to follow the order or face legal consequences for disobeying it, such as physical and/or forceful removal, arrest, and criminal charges. Disagreement with whatever the officer's reason is at the time is irrelevant, you have to obey, and that issue would need to be addressed in a court at another time if you felt you had a legitimate breach of your civil liberties.

Your experience enforces my point: you addressed the issue later in court through the judicial process, not at the scene during the executive process. If the officer is in the wrong and detaining you without cause, a courtroom at a later time is where that is settled, not in the streets during the event. People are wrongfully detained and arrested all the time. One could even argue that every person found innocent in a courtroom was "wrongfully" arrested, but an officer doing a investigation and/or traffic stop has an entirely different burden than a court.

Qualified immunity is a relatively modern practice in America, we survived fine without it before, nor is is practiced by most of the world. Like I said: mental gymnastics. You are basing your entire opinion on a false premise that does not exist, nor do you have evidence of such a phenomena ever happening.

  368. @ You see things that are in the public space, and you don't see things that are private and behind closed doors. This should not be revelation. Public projects have their disagreements publicly, proprietary ones do not. Of course you are going to get the impression that public projects have more drama if you ignore this basic logic. Have you never worked anywhere, in any sector? Now imagine that every disagreement at work was posted publicly online and people made reaction videos about it.

  369. I am very much more of a Zig fan over Rust, but the lack of learning resources is indeed currently a huge obstacle for attracting new users. Having used it for ~6 months, I rarely need to look things up anymore, but it is always a struggle when I do, and I remember the pains of trying to find any sort of comprehensive resource, usually just having to "figure it out" with trial and error. They have stated many times that by 1.0 they will have a more fleshed out stdlib with better documentation, but until then (and wider adoption) I assume it will continue to be a struggle.

  370. I will never understand why the Wayland protocol forbids applications from even querying the global position of the window. If security is the argument, the negligible gain of it compared to it breaking a significant number of application and/or forcing hackish workarounds is not worth it. I wish they would just let go and add it to the protocol.

  372. Exactly, "real-world" benchmarks are going to be comparing entire projects, as they are, against others that do the same thing, but written in a different language. For the sake of a benchmark, go ahead and throw out the cost and time of development, but I hate that so many people pretend that a micro-benchmark of a Fibonacci or Mandelbrot fractal is in any way informative unless that is the only thing your application does.

  373. I was already a permanent Linux user before Windows 10, but it was the last version that I dual-booted with (no longer needed for gaming), but it was a hot-mess IMHO. I am not someone who can't acknowledge that Windows does have a few features that are superior than their Linux counterpart(s), but Microsoft's focus seemed to be making everything that I already disliked about Windows even worse, and moving farther away from the few things I liked. I honestly don't even know the difference between 10 and the current version (11?), they seem the same to me aside from some default configuration to the taskbar.

  376. I honestly don't mind my shell (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc) and SSH taking a top-level spot. I have no explanation why I don't care about those ones, just the way it is. That said, I absolutely hate software that doesn't respect it and creates entries in my home directory. It gets even worse when you have ones that don't check alternative directories, and then compound that with not even making using a dot file/directory. I typically keep dot files visible, but when giving a quick scan, it at least helps when doing a quick scan for something.

  377. What a complete inverse of reality that these people have decieved themselves into (among other things). If you were an "expert", and were to debate someone who you claim knows nothing, wouldn't that be a recipe for an easy debate where you would come out on top? Even if your opponent themselves were incapable of understanding your argument, that is not the purpose, but the audience would be able to see what an "expert" you are and make their own conclusions.

  378. This "separated families" garbage is such an inane trope, I am ashamed that even one of my fellow Americans would ever be so dumb to not see right through it. Myself or any citizen who commits crimes will be separated from our families: this is what prisons and jails are. Being a non-citizen committing a crime does not exempt you from this, nor does bringing your child along while committing the crime. If I sneak my way into Joe Biden's bedroom at the White House, I am committing a crime, and will be separated from my family. I can't bring my child along with me or expect to be paid afterwards.

  379. I would estimate that 98% or more of all distro could be accomplished by running a trivial bash script after installing the base system. This was literally how I managed Arch installs before it shipped with its own installer. It takes very little effort to install some packages, copy some wallpapers and preset configs to tweak something. All these distros shipping an entire ISO just so thet can put their own "brand" on something is silly to me. Occasionally you might find one that ships with some custom software, but it would just as easily run on the base system, so even that is a moot point.

  380. I have tried Gentoo for a brief period years ago, but always wanted to try Void. I am happy with Arch, but just for the sake of experimenting, Void always interested me and seemed to have a very similar philosophy.

  381. I don't personally like the entire concept of build scripts needing licensed. There has to be some commonsense line where we don't bother licensing code. If I share a line or two of Bash with someone to help them accomplish something, should it now be licensed? Of course not, but the same logic stands. At some point we need to just use commonsense. I never even considered "licensing" my build files: they are essentially just instructions on how to use the licensed code.

  382. Alpha releases are a double-edged sword, hence it is much more common to see betas and/or release-candidates open to the public,while alphas are preserved to a much smaller and exclusive group. You risk turning off a large number of people when you release software in such a broken state, and it takes time for them to ever come back, and some never will at all. I do software development for a living (20 years), and would never have released the that alpha out in its current state. It is one thing to have some bugs, and even crashes, but it is a very bad to have overall performance so lacking this far into development. I would be interested in trying it again, but I am not bothering with anymore alphas or betas, and will wait for 1.1.

  384.  @ZeZeBatata69  Being told when you never asked is not the same thing as searching it out for the sake of feeling outrage, which is what people mean by "cancel culture". This false equivalency is a disingenuous argument. My software has no political opinion. I never asked, and they never told, which is how it should be. If they feel the need to tell me anyway, then my judgement of them will include that new information, but I am not looking for it.

  387.  @prumchhangsreng979  As another said, the argument is fairly unproductive, and each have their use-cases, but there are some things that can still be said. As OOP is rather simple to conceptualize and easy for programmers to learn, but it is deceptive in some of its benefits, which are exacerbated the "deeper" the inheritance tree becomes. My only advice if you are new is not to only use OOP languages as this kind of "locks" your mindset into an OOP one, which doesn't translate well when you some day are writing in a language that is not OOP, but you are still trying to use OOP paradigms.

  389. I have been using zsh with powerlevel10k a few months now, and can't say that I have been completely happy with it, especially in regards to speed. This seems like a great replacement to try, and an excuse to go back to Bash, which I have been considering. Personally the benefits of zsh over bash are lost on me, as they for features that I don't use, and the zsh config is a bit messy for my taste.

  390. I have been with wezterm for ~1.5, but don't discount ghostty, it is also great. I was a bit put-off by the lack of Lua after wezterm, but its config isn't bad at all.

  395. No Arch user cares about a GUI installer, real life is not reddit memes. The issue is the how it would inflate the size of the ISO for little to no reason. There is no graphical framework included as part of the installation media, and to include GUI installer over the existing TUI one would also require the inclusion of all its many dependencies. The end result would be a less-advanced Calamares installer with colors instead of a more useful TUI with white text on black background. The existing TUI installer is super simple, there is no difference in skill level required to use it over a GUI other than using arrow keys instead of a mouse.

The overwhelming majority of the time, a quick print statement displaying a value is at some specific locations if all I need. Printing is a more portable and simple solution in most cases, though obviously the context and size of the project matter, as well as other nuanced information, such as how confident I am in knowing where the problem is arising. Good coverage with unit tests usually ensure that you can narrow down the problem area without a problem.

At that time, other terminals like kitty were are already out, and had a larger feature set (still does). The same can be said for pretty much every piece of software in existence. I have yet to ever see this question asked in a genuine way, it is only ever used when someone wants to disparage a piece of software that they personally prefer an alternative to.

  402.  @PLC11  1) There is an armed person killing his family, possibly still in the vicinity. This is a perfect time to have a gun in your hand if there ever was one. Police have no duty to protect, I am not going to trust my protection to them. Whatever misconceptions you have about this are not legally founded. 2) Yes, they do, you just watched it happen. You can argue semantics all you want, but a police officer shooting you without trial is literally part of your "due process rights" described by law. Ignorance of this fact does not change reality. Carrying a gun is still not a crime. If you are asked to disarm by LE, then by all means do so, but being armed in a crime scene is not a crime. 3) It most definitely is blind support even pretending that there was anything excusable here, and not anything other than a trigger-happy officer who was irrationally fearful of laying eyes on a gun. We have the right to own and carry guns, it should not be such a shocking and crazy thing to see. Americans are literally allowed to carry a rifle around town on a leisurely walk. People's rights don't stop where someone else's irrational fears begin.

There are tons of features that stay experimental and are never merged. Both browsers have hundreds of examples of such a thing. I could have said "its in experimental branch" 3 years ago when talking about Chromium, yet here we are. The point is, that doesn't mean much.

  409. @ I am not against JXL, I also want it to be supported, and was disappointed when Chromium removed it from the experimental branch ~1.5 years later, back before Firefox even added it in theirs. All we can do is hope that Firefox doesn't do the same.

  410. There really wouldn't be anything to "implement", it would simply be a matter of exposing what already exists to the public API. We can safely assume that demand for such functionality is not very high, so it is probably currently best that priorities are being kept on more important things.

  414.  @rigierish3807  I totally agree, I have never understood the argument that "too many distros" is somehow harmful to Linux software development. I have been writing code for ~20 years, over 10 of them exclusively on Linux, and have never once developed for a particular distro, this doesn't even make sense unless you are literally creating a package manager or some other extremely niche application that is only intended for that distro. Package maintainers for each respective distro are the ones that create the packages for each distro, which is essentially just script to copy files to the proper location, run a compile script, etc. My compilation flags target CPU architectures and operating systems, not individual Linux distros.

  415. I spent decades hating Vim and thinking people were crazy for choosing to use such an inferior and un-intuitive editor. Somewhat recently I took a second look at it (specifically Neovim), and spent a few days forcing myself to get familiar with motions, learning how to personalize it, and configuring with LSPs, etc., There is no going back to something like VS Code now. My editor is perfectly configured to something that works optimally for me. I would recommend that anyone learn Vim motions, even if you dislike Vim itself. They certainty don't seem very intuitive at first, especially with most modern software hacing left-hand-centric common hotkeys that use modifers keys, with right-hand combinations being less common due to mouse use. Spend a couple days forcing yourself to use them while working on a project,, and you won't regret it. I can now move around and edit a document faster than a mouse/touchpad by orders of magnitude, one only needs to learn the muscle-memory of the keys.

This is more Abbott's fault than it is Biden's. A governor has far more authority within his state than the president does. Abbott simply is not exercising it because he doesn't really care, and he fears the political consequences of going against the Uniparty.

  432. I have been used Arch for over 10 years, have installed manually dozens of time. I never understood why anyone ever acted like they were superior for doing this, it is just following a step-by-step instruction. I exclusively use archinstall now, for me there is literally no reason not to, I don't require anything it cannot do and/or I can do post the base-install. I love Arch, but I hate the stereotype that we are considered some type of elitists or gatekeepers, I honestly think that mostly comes from newbies who installed it for the first time, and wanted to make a big deal about it, not so much the actual experienced users. I am sure it is a mix of both, but installing Arch, even manually, is not a difficult task that anyone should take pride in, any Linux newcomer can do it.

  433. @ Arch was my first distro over 10 years ago, and still is. This was back before archinstall existed. I am a developer, so was perhaps more accustomed to the CLI than the average person, but I knew nothing of Linux at the time.

  442. The comments section of everyone who who excuses the police for this is a huge blackpill. I understand that there is a very small amount of "gray area" in this case with regards to the manner how he came out of his own home, but people are way to fast to excuse police for every last thing. Political happenings of recent years have pushed the "back the blue" pendulum way too far, and it is now out of orbit, and people need to come back down to earth. An innocent man with no clue what was going on came to his door armed and ready to defend himself and property at night, and was shot dead in the span of heartbeat for it by agents of the state,. People then find a way to blame him or condone it as merely an "unfortunate misunderstanding". Unbelievable. Police need held to a higher standard than citizens, not less. Stop making excuses for them. Call out the good and the bad. This was bad. I am not saying this is some premeditated murder or even that they even did anything that could be charged in a courtroom from a legal standpoint, but "mistakes" from police result in dead people, so stop giving them a pass for everything.

Mind you that the first restrictions on the first amendment came decades after its creation, and "absolute" was the law of the land and its intended purpose prior to that, until the government wanted to prohibit anti-government and anti-slavery speech. America does not even abide its own legal definitions and precedent set by the SC when it comes to speech-related "crimes" anymore, which are extremely specific on what classifies as "unlawful". The very concept of this nebulous thing called "hate speech" being in the lexicon is testament to that.

I always recommend it to Go devs who are interested in game-development, it is fills the niche perfectly. All that said, don't be torn between any of them, learn them all. I understand you have to somewhat commit to one or another for a certain amount of time to become competent with it, but as someone who used to also feel like I had to choose, I can say that it a self-imposed restriction.

  454. I think one issue is that you can pretty much get by knowing only 3-4 commands that will carry you through 99% of all scenarios, and many don't bother learning the rest well. As soon as you hit something unfamiliar, it essentially becomes ffmpeg, where you just look up the command to use, except now you aren't comfortable, and there is actual repercussions if you use the wrong one. I have been using get for 10-15 years, and feel no shame using lazygit, especially when I am unsure of myself.

  456.  @rj7250a  There is a little difference in DirectX (<12) and OpenGL. If you learn one, learning the other can be done in an afternoon. They are abstractions over the same hardware instructions. John Carmack talking about old legacy OpenGL that has been deprecated for over a decade is hardly relevant. OpenGL 1.1 and OpenGL +3.0 are completely different APIs with practically nothing in common, where the former was what Carmack would have been referring to.

If you think that any Electron app is fast, responsive, and unbloated, then your opinion is immediately discarded into fantasy land. Don't let your personal preference in editor and tribalism toward it take away your ability to reason objectively.

  459.  @tsolanoff  One second until you see a square window on your screen is not the same as a "full startup", which I made the explicit distinction in my original reply. It should be noted that your personal experiences with Vim are not everyone else's. I don't care about your choice of editor, if you like VScode then you should use it, I genuinely mean that. I merely made an objective, empirical, and measurable observation on a technical aspect that is completely detached from personal opinion, it was not a personal attack on people who choose vscode anyways. If you don't mind the performance and resources problems that is objectively has, then there is no problem with you using it. No different than me not having "bugs and errors" and knowing how to configure vim correctly makes it a good choice for me. Your choice of editor has no bearing on my life whatsoever.

I recommend they use Gnome/Plasma n order to get an experience that is most akin to what they are already used to. Everyone was new to Linux at some point, it is only natural to try and apply what you already know to something new. The differences will need learned, and the point is to make that experience as frictionless as possible.

DLSS works perfectly well on Linux, not sure why you even assume that, as both AMD and NVIDIA offer Linux drivers for their hardware.

It occasionally takes a little extra tinkering on Linux, but even that is becoming very rare, and i don't even use Proton.

CachyOS seems to be one of the few Arch-based distros that is actually doing some different things (custom software, kernel patches, etc), and not just a GUI installer, branding, and someone else's selection of software.

  497. Arch being "difficult" is a meme that needs to die, because so many people actually take it serious, chief among them being people who just installed Arch for the first time and believe themselves to be Linux wizards. These are the people whom give Arch the bad name for being "elitist". I have used Arch for well over a decade, and would be the first to tell you that anyone can install it, it is not difficult, simply a matter of following directions, though now even at that point is moot for years since they have a good TUI installer. Arch was my first ever Linux distro, and while I wouldn't typically recommend it to beginners, but it isn't even bad for that. If you are someone familiar with development,, writing code, using CLI tools, etc, then starting with Arch is very viable. The one and only requirement for maintaining Arch is the ability and willingness to RTFM, absolutely nothing else. If you like tinkering and customizing, Arch is a good distro. If you just want something pre-configured and are happy with the defaults another team selected, then go with that. There is no wrong answer here.

  498. I dunno, I tried to switch daily-driving a standard DE after using tiling window managers for a couple years, and I just can't stick with it.

I even spent the time to configure all the hotkeys to my personal scheme, but once you embrace using a tiler for your normal workflow, it is extremely difficult to go back to anything else. I legitimately like Plasma, used it for years, but tiling window managers have ruined me for floating style.

  500. @ There are many cases of that, but also many cases not, evident by the comments to this very video. The truth that Rust also helps prevent memory-leaks more-so than some other languages gets way oversold. It is often portrayed as something uber-rare and/or explicit. Couple that to your run-of-the-mill JS bootcamp dev whose understanding of these differences may already be lacking or nonexistent, and they just hear "practically impossible unless you are trying to", which is far from reality. It isn't that any Rust dev is walking around saying Rust is memory-leak proof, they just over-exaggerate the guardrails against them compared to any language other than C. Most languages have guardrails against them to varying degrees, so comparing it to one of the few who has none is rarely a helpful discussion, and leads to misunderstandings for someone uses neither.

  501.  @__christopher__  Of course not, but the memory the host OS/kernel uses for them does. When the kernel gives you back file descriptor as an integer, there is obviously more to it than just an integer: the descriptor is just a handle, and the kernel doesn't know when your application is actually done using it or if you just accidentally forgot to close it. In either case, there is memory allocated is not being freed. Your language isn't opening a file, the kernel is upon your language asking it to. As safe as your language is, it relies upon a kernel that it is not. Even if we pretend we have a "safe kernel" , it is not going to be able to distinguish between a logical error and something purposeful in your application.

The example of using it for condition checks after the expression on a single line are how it is most commonly used, very often at the start of a method for checking arguments, etc. Although you can, it is considered bad practice to use it in a multiline statement as you would with "if". Something like "raise ArgumentError unless name.is_a?(String)" is common to see, but otherwise it is kind of rare. There is also "until", which is the inverse of a "while" loop. :D

There is no conspiracy against a project that has been pivotal to the Linux desktop, it is merely showing its age at this point, and becoming more and more difficult for anyone to maintain.

Self-defense and hunting are just byproducts, not the purpose of 2A, don't get confused. The bill of rights is rules for the government that it is not allowed to cross, not something given to the people by the government. Our rights come from God or whatever higher power you choose to believe in, not given to us by the government. Civics 101 in HS should have taught that much.

  545.  @andrejsk6211  As far as I am aware, the only practical difference is whether or not you have to include a copy of the license or provide attribution to the original author in the modified work. As most people in the open-source world are happy to give credit when deriving from someone else's work, and will do it unbidden anyways, the actual "practical" difference is nearly none. The MIT license has a basic restriction for a person trying to take credit for someone else's work as their own, whereas they technically could do that under Public Domain.

DEI discriminates based on race. This is the definition of what racism is, regardless of whatever recently-altered dictionary one chooses to cite. It is laughable. and absurdity of the highest order for someone who criticizes this to be the one accused of being racist. Insinuating that the issue is just too complex for small-minded people to comprehend to avoid facing the obvious flaws is a losing argument.

Of course there is some anger about his outburst on you, but it merely put the real issue center-stage, which is his behavior. He markets himself as a positive role-model for young men, meanwhile does not denounce this degenerate behavior. He did say they have since "calmed down" with that behavior, but he still sees nothing wrong about it, and acts like it is just a normal kink. This type of behavior needs to be outright condemned on every level, there is nothing manly about it, and it is destructive to the soul. TLDR: Please not invite him back on the show, he does not deserve to be elevated as a person with meaningful thoughts or opinions, and needs to disappear into obscurity.

  566. While it gets compared to C quite a bit, it is far closer to Go than C, especially regarding syntax. I almost think of it as more complex version of Go, but using LLVM under the hood. I really like Odin, it is downright fun to code with, but IMHO it is not even close to being a "C/C++ replacement", I honestly don't even understand why they are so often compared to one another. It has some great strengths that make it stand out, even among other emerging lower-level languages like Zig, Rust, etc. and I feel it would be better off to not try and brand itself as a "C replacement" and lean harder into its strengths and the fields it excels in.

If I were Ukranian, I would be ashamed of my leader if they continued to trust and play as a puppet of the USA, hopelessly begging for a seat in NATO when literally no one actually thinks they ever will be invited, but strung along with empty words anyways. I don't blame the world for hating America, it is well deserved, it sows discord and war all across the globe continuously.

If I then find a job at a cemetery, and do the exact same task as a service (e.g.product) that does have value, does that make the labor itself any different? They do not "partially depend" on each other, labor 100% depends on the product, and the amout of labor is irrelevant to the value of a product. If you and I write a "Hello world" program, it does not have more/less value if I took 40 hours to do it and you did it in two seconds.

  572. I agree, it is perfect for a beginner who wants to learn how to configure it, not just accept what someone else chose for them. That is one problem overlooked by using a distro as a total beginner. While it is important to start with a base you can work from, it is equally important that you be able to learn/understand how configuration works, which kickstart is perfect for. Distros obviously tend to enforce their own way of structuring the config, which can be rigid and not translate well outside of that particular distro.

It feels nice being in an era where there is more languages gaining traction and on the horizon than I have time to learn.

  604. I have absolutely nothing against X11, but it is in a really bad place right now. The project is absolutely huge, there is a not person alive who is familiar with more than a few parts of the API, which is filled to the brim with millions of lines of code of nothing but legacy crud that no one even understand anymore. They are losing developers, and unable to find enough maintainers (or even board members) to keep it up to date, let alone develop new features. Whatever the average user's opinion is of Wayland, there is a legitimate reasons why developers are moving towards it, and it is not because of some petty flame-war or conspiracy against X11. The project deserves full credit for serving us well and getting us this far over the past decades, but Wayland taking over and becoming the new "norm" is likely not more than a year or two away. If you are someone reading this and resisting it for flame-war stuff or because it had bugs last time you attempted it 2 years ago, is not helping anyone, least of all you. I couldn't care less what anyone else uses, but it is only damaging to Linux users to keep spreading outdated information that is no longer even applicable. It should also be noted that the "NVIDIA bad" stuff is a bit outdated. NVIDIA is never without some problems on Linux, regardless of X11/Wayland, but the major esync issue has been fixed and will be hitting the repos of most distros very soon. This was the final major hurdle preventing widespread adoption on Wayland, and pretty much every other problem with NVIDIA is fixable with configuration.

His delivery is obviously inflammatory, and it undermines his message by kicking the hornet's nest of something people are very tribal over, but most, if not all of, his points are actually very valid. I am currently using Hyprland, but plan on giving Cosmic a try in a few years when it matures and realizes its goals. Like many others, I found the alpha release to be very underwhelming, but am going to withhold any judgment until its first stable release. I predict that Cosmic is going to be the Cyberpunk 2077 of Linux desktops: fail to live up to the hype initially, but eventually blossom into something wonderful. My personal suspicion is that the public release of the alpha was a marketing decision, and not a developer one.

  606. Social media has been the most destructive force upon society, nothing else comes close, it has been the vehicle for a global cultural decay. It has always brought out the bad qualities of people, and been an exaggeration of who that person typically would be IRL. We are now at the point where generations have grown up from birth and under this phenomena, and were not learned into it to a lesser degree across the life-span of social media. Young people today behave worse IRL than the internet edge-lords of previous generation ago, and it is considered "normal", as it is all they have ever known. Seeing someone give a non-consequential opinion about some unimportant topic in a comment, and it won't be long until they are being name-called and insulted. I can't imagine ever interacting with someone IRL like that, but it is commonplace online, and creeping into IRL.

It is scary how many non-Arch users, possible even the majority, that actually believe that Arch does no testing and it just pushes out updates the second the upstream comes out with a new stable release.

The bottom-line is, like it or not, a police officer can order you out of a car during a traffic stop, period. I am unable to find any case-law whatsoever where this has not been upheld. being pulled over is already a detainment (legally speaking), which grants LE authority to make such orders. If they pulled you over without any articulable cause is the only exception, but that is only by extension to the wrongful detainment that preceded it, not the act itself.

  640.  @iMatti00  There is a lot of truth to that statement. Cops obviously want to assert themselves as the dominant in an interaction, but many do so by being overly aggressive to the point of being hostile. There are many ways to exert your authority while remaining civil and understanding, but many police simply don't have this ability. It is essentially the same difference that you see in a good leader/boss versus a bad one. One can can command from a position of respect, while the other commands with an iron fist and a "I will punish you for disobedience" attitude. All that said, it is important for civilians to learn what their rights are, what orders are lawful, and what are not. I don't personally agree with the specific law, but they are permitted to order someone out of a car with a simple excuse. Resisting that on the side of the road is not going to help the situation, whether it is a good police officer or not. Even if the initial detainment was not lawful, resisting that isn't going help anyone, and will simply open the door to more serious things.

  641.  @slaythompson  The reasoning is that if you have been pulled over, the "reasonable and articulatable suspicion of a crime" has already been met with the alleged initial traffic offense, and you are already detained before the officer exits his vehicle. Being in that state of detainment, they have the authority to give you lawful orders on where they want your person to be. For practical purposes, they don't even need a reason. Saying "officer safety" or "maintaining control" are highy subjective, impossible to disprove, and are accepted by courts every time. They might be wrong about the initial detainment, but court is where that gets argued. There are plenty of opportunities to assert your rights and not allow them to be violated, but this is not one of them. This is not the hill to die on. While it might feel unfair, is not a violation of one's civil liberties at this point in the interaction.

  642. ​ @rickpina3971  Perhaps he doesn't, reasonable people can could come to different conclusions on that subject. My point was simply that, he was indeed giving a lawful order and that the person refusing it was not withing their legal rights to do so, regardless of opinions about the police officer's attitude or friendliness. t. To be fair about the officer's attitude, you cannot ignore the context that he was issuing lawful orders under the authority that he was granted, which were being disobeyed. Continuing to break the law while being detained by police won't often result in a friendly interaction. Doing it politely doesn't change the underlying action.
    1
  643.  @albertmarnell9976  True, but with caveats, as they can frisk your person without it rising to probable cause ("Terry Stop" from Terry v. Ohio) during any detainment, which includes traffic stops. My personal feelings is that Terry v. Ohio is an abomination, but it has set the standard in policing since the 60's. They would indeed require probable cause to search your vehicle or reach in your pockets/purse/bag/etc without consent. They have found loop-holes around this with K-9 units unfortunately. If they want to search, a refusal often leads to a K-9 being called, which predicatively "alerts" 100% of the time, regardless if anything illegal is present.

  644.  @VictorVallan  It is very much abused, but the traffic stop appears to be lawful, most are, as the standard is so low and can pretty much be made up as needed. The person in the car seems to affirm this in the first seconds of the video. They don't need "reasonable and articulable suspicion" to order you out of your car, that is not in the statute. You are confusing the RAS requirements for a detainment. The can order you out for completely subjective reasons, "officer safety" being the default cause that never fails. The traffic stop is already the detainment, that phase of the interaction has already been meant and passed by the time you are being ordered out of a car. You are also confusing case law and statutes, but I digress, no sense in the belaboring the point.

  651.  @rjawiygvozd  I personally don't see the relevance of whether a delay is "random" or "curated", it is a distinction without a difference in the context of introducing instability with AUR packages. The wrong dependency version is still the wrong version, whether it is because some arbitrary time limit has not yet been reached, or because a skill group of fine artisans are honing their craft as software testers and cannot be rushed. Dismissing this as the fault of a user for using "crazy nonsense" packages based on your limited anecdotal experience doesn't make less stable for the countless times it has, and will to continue to happen. The irony I mentioned is that a practice intended to provide stability over Arch has resulted in it being more unstable than Arch. You allude to these "manual interventions" and how it saves its users from this common problem, and I would direct you attention to the Arch news site where they are listed. In all of 2024, there was a single manual intervention required, a basic chown command. How many AUR packages do you think broke exclusively for Manjaro users in the same amount of time? Tens? Hundreds? Thousands? If even only for a week or so, I am confident it was an aggravation, the point being that one does not have to concern themselves with using "crazy nonsense" packages, they are free to use mesa-git if they want without fear of their distro breaking it beyond its already inherent instability.

  652.  @21DaHoagie12  It isn't too late to delete your comment, but okay: Warren v. District of Columbia (1981). An extremely basic search of "duty to protect" will really blow your mind, and you will quickly learn that "Serve and Protect" is just a slogan, while the law explicitly states otherwise. I understand that typically an officer would protect you in such an extreme scenario, but the point is that they are under no legal obligation to do so, which is what the person stated. The government has made this issue abundantly clear.

  654. It is a great language to learn, but does have a higher difficulty than most other languages, I would liken it to when you learn C++ for the first time. It has gone the way of C++ and used the "kitchen sink" approach to its design-by-committee philosophy, It is very worthwhile to learn, but it is held down by the drama of its community, so I would recommend just staying clear of any "Rust groups". Just don't forget to tell literally everyone you meet or encounter on the internet that your application was written in Rust, and pretend that they care.

  658. That is a long time for a beta, by any standard. I say this as someone who has been a developer professionally for 20+ years. Your point is well-taken, but this isn't a good example of it. The issue with Cosmic is that the release of an open alpha was arguably a bad decision, and they should have waited for a beta version before unveiling en masse to the general public. I suspect this was a decision made by the PR department, not the dev team.

  662.  @boredstudent9468  ...and obviously some part of it was freshly not setup correctly. There is no "default" install, you obviously selected options on how it should install, so not sure what relevance "fresh" is in this context. It didn't install itself in a vacuum without your input. If it is bricking, it is likely some issue with your partitioning and/or boot-loader setup, Could even be UEFI/BIOS or GPT/MBR mismatches, but you didn't mention what specific update is causing it to happen, so no way to say. You also claimed it was an update, but now indicating it is the installation process, and not an update. If you are using grub, try systemd-boot, it is more straightforward for a single OS system, and is less prone to mis-configuration with less moving parts. You can also just use the `archinstall` utility in the ISO, it will take care of avoiding many foot-guns.

  668. I couldn't care less what people wish to use. I was one of those "don't see the point of the Wayland" people for years, but gave it another chance a while back, and ended up sticking with it, as it "fixed" an issue I was having with a particular game on X11. Having been with it for a while and now on Hyprland, I don't personally have any reason to switch back to X11. It isn't that I dislike X11 or anything, it did me good for many years, but Wayland is simply a better fit for me now. For my use-case, it has finally gotten to a place where it is stable and works well, but for those it doesn't, just use X11. I don't see the point of people taking such strong opinions in either camp, or trying to turn this into a flame-war. If I don't like a piece of software, I simply don't use it. I don't care how popular it is or "what everyone else is using". I am not an X11 or Wayland developer, I have no personal stake in either, and will never understand people getting in heated arguments over "which is better".

  676. The problem is the LGB community. This is exactly the thing that opponents against same-sex marriage and the widespread acceptance of LGB warned and fought against many years ago when Ellen was celebrated as brave for "coming out" and this stuff was first being widely pushed. This is the inevitable and natural progression of it, and always has been historically. There is a reason that the T is included in LGB, even though it has nothing to do with sexual preference while the other letters do: it is all linked to the same underlying depravity and always has been. To be clear, I don't hate gay people. I just don't agree with their lifestyle and believe it is wrong. This is no different than how I don't hate heroin addicts, I just don't like what they do. The difference is we don't promote shooting heroin, have parades about it, or devote entire months of the year to it, nor teach children that it is completely normal and something to be celebrated.

  678.  @zizlog_sound  I was not very clear, I am saying that your point of thousands of distros as "not working together" has an incorrect premise. I personally don't see any use for all the distros either, but there is very little work going into one that can't be shared with all others. With the exception of package managers, nearly everything is universal and can be "shared". It may not be accurate to call it "working together", but it surely isn't "working against each other". A perfect example is Cosmic Desktop. It is being developed for PopOS, but the entire Linux ecosystem can use it and will benefit from it. This is the same with nearly all software. The differences between distros is remarkably small from a development point-of-view. No one develops "for Ubuntu" or "for Arch", they simply target Linux, and it works for all of them. Again, package management is the only notable exception to this. I very much agree that the huge number of distros isn't very useful, no argument here, but who am I to tell someone what hobby project they choose to develop?

  681. I think you misunderstand what stable/beta releases are, Arch is no way shipping beta releases in its repos. It ships *stable* releases of software, after a testing phase briefer than most other distros. The releases are the stable versions from their respective developers. If JetBrains releases the new "PyCharm 8.0", it is a stable release, and Arch will get it in the repos sooner than Debian, but they are not pushing out "PyCharm 7.9.78-08-beta". If you want that, you have to install an "Early Access" package from the AUR. The developers of software are what define stable/beta, not Arch.

  683.  @bountyjedi  The problem is developers not respecting them when designing the software, not the spec itself. The spec is pretty clear on the environment variables, stating if they don't exist or are empty to use those defaults. (i.e. XDG_STATE_HOME should default to ~/.local/state if not defined). I assume it mostly oversight/ignorance that has led to it not be adopted, not belligerence to the spec itself. Having a known and well-defined place where files should be stored is a benefit to development, not a hindrance.

Lots of .edu sites and with people diving deep into for their Master's disseration or PhD thesis, so they are probably at a minimum well-sourced, as it is a requirement, though you can judge the sources yourself if you find them up to your standards. Finding the information isn't very difficult if you were interested in learning what/why people are talking about it so often. I won't attest to be well-versed on the subject, because I am far from it, but I do not understand why one would be so dismissive of it for no other reason than being ignorant on the subject, while also admitting having never looked.

  689.  @ringo8410  I agree, I have no problem with people using it, I don't think anyone does, that was the point of my reply. This is why Arch has shipped with archinstall for years now, and previously used to have a different one before that, though it was removed when the maintainer abandoned the project. I simply don't understand the "Arch users mad about it" nonsense. The installer is quite *literally* officially supported by the Arch maintainers and the forums when asking for help, has been for years. The only thing that is not supported is using random installers and scripts found online. It is baffling that so many people think that is an "unfair" limitation. Create your own Ubuntu installer and see what kind of support you get from Canonical when it breaks. It doesn't mean that they are "mad" if they simply don't offer support for it.

The fact that you refer to "helping noobs" means that they were 100% correct in stating that there is certain knowledge requirement for it. The fact that Arch is the most well-documented distro there is is testament that Arch users do everything in their power to make this knowledge accessible to everyone. No one can force you to learn it though. For people without the time or ability to educate themselves, perhaps another distro is better. There is nothing shameful about this, the issue is that you view it to be so.
