@yessikg @King @pressedhams It also tries a bit harder to look superficially like Windows.

@hopesdead He probably wants to smash Data’s head in as that chair used to be his (see S01E01).

@devfuuu @msage This is my experience exactly. I don’t care much for this thread, the fact is Firefox won’t run in 1MB and in my experience won’t run very well in 8MB. If other peoples’ mileages magically vary, good for them.

@TheTechnician27 @kittenzrulz123 The idea that you can run Firefox on a system with 1GB of RAM is laughable. I had to upgrade my system to 16GB because running Firefox in fewer became too painful.

@csantosb Them web pages which force you to tear the tab off the browser into its own window, so that you can resize it to make the text palatable…

@passepartout
Perhaps if AI were explicitly asked to write code in pidgin English (specifically something which is not meant to be compilable), and then that was used as the basis of actual code development?

@unknowing8343 @Custodian6718 Generally speaking not my opinion.

@thingsiplay @Sunshine That’s the most banal post I’ve read this year.

@jasory @1984 I suppose the main benefit/downside is that the apps will be monolithic and avoid DLL hell, hence more reliable in that way but also taking up more resources between them.

@Max_P @stewie410 This is just wrong. Taking a stand against things like this causes change for the better in the long run. Rails will survive without DHH, like Linux survived without Reiserfs and MySQL survived after Larry Ellison. There may be some pain involved, but we owe it to ourselves to tread the better path, and make bad people just socially unacceptable.

@csantosb Is this really the recommended way to run Rust? Rather than the one which Guix provides directly?

@slazer2au @Shadow_Glider And have you ever even tried Guix? Not systemd…

@csantosb Should point out that the script is also blind to use of ‘guix shell’. I’ve stopped using that for this reason…

@Aatube

@Aatube Your web site seems to have an SSL problem.

@DmMacniel @melroy It is only political because politicians are conflicted: they make money joining boards of walled-garden firms, and owning stocks in such entities. Take that away and open source would be a no-brainer.

@victorz @hanrahan Mint is partly derived from Ubuntu, which is derived from Debian. As well as also being partly derived from Debian itself.

LMDE skips the Ubuntu part of the derivations.

@FizzyOrange @morto #nix and #guix do exactly this. It is 2025.

@kuberoot

OFF TOPIC, but, how do you do the stand-out quotes like that?

@imecth @stuner @littleomid @uthredii ``Rust implies only 1 thing, and that’s no memory leaks, assuming you don’t use “unsafe” code. It’s still very much vulnerable to logic bugs and has the same performance as c (GNOME) and c++ (KDE).‘’

Not only memory leaks, multi-threading generally is hugely safer under the watchful eye of the compiler.

It performs slightly better than C or C++; the compiler is able to make better optimizations thanks to deeper insight into the nature of given code.
