Sublime Text + sometimes LSP is all you need. It might be difficult for people who don’t know how to use a build system directly, but those people are underachievers anyways.

I think it went like this:

• Linux is highly customizable
• customizing or “ricing” your Linux machine became a hobby
• weebs got into the hobby, infesting the space with anime waifus and other degenerate cartoons
• some time during the weeb infestation, thigh high socks became a recurring theme
• gay/trans programmers sarcastically posted themselves in thigh high socks
• gay/trans programmers who didn’t get the sarcasm unironically adopted thigh high socks
• Rust was invented

So you see, it’s just another example of the kind of tragedies that can befall society when sarcasm isn’t clearly labeled on the internet.

Yup!

GrayJay most of time asks for login because Google indicates it is a bot

Whenever it does that, I just open the Google login page and start clicking links (like the privacy policy, FAQ, reset password, etc) to “prove” that I’m human. That usually works at least for one video, if not more.

Yeah personally I much prefer Freetube’s UI over Grayjay (on desktop at least). For example, the subscription feed has an annoyingly huge list of subscribed channels that takes up like 25% of the screen real-estate, and you can’t hide it. It’s also pointless because there’s another list of your subscriptions on the left side of the screen. It also can’t be launched automatically when opening a YT link with the LibRedirect firefox extension, whereas Freetube can.

But besides design issues like that, Grayjay is much more reliable than Freetube when it comes to bypassing Youtube’s bot protections.

Wow, I thought that was just a weird bug with my system config. It actually started working a couple of weeks ago, but for the longest time I could only launch it by double-clicking it through dolphin lol

I’ll admit I only have a shallow familiarity with VLC, but I’d be surprised if it was capable of doing these things:

• Subscribe to Youtube channels (plus a bunch of other platforms)
• Get ‘related’ videos
• Browse and search individual channels

ffmpeg commands are one of the best use cases for ChatGPT

Consider what the disassembly would look like. There’s no fast way to do it.

It’s also unnecessary since 8 bytes is a negligible amount in most cases. Serialization is the only real scenario where it matters. (Edit: and embedded)

I started using Lemmy like 2 years ago, stopped for a long time, and came back a few months ago. I’m sure something has changed in that time, but I don’t know what.

It could be because Lemmy is written in Rust, which is kind of notorious for how difficult it is to be productive in it. Or maybe it’s that there aren’t enough developers, or there isn’t enough funding.

In any case, my motivation to help fund this project is not helped by the insufferable cuntery of the tankies in the .ml communities. Knowing that the core devs are also tankies makes me want to see it fail. Fuck those people.

There are a lot of options if you’re experienced with Linux and know how to get things to work/are willing to do research. However, if you are new, then you should definitely play it safe to avoid frustration.

My current laptop is an Asus PX13, which is an awesome value and probably the most powerful machine you can buy at its size. Unfortunately, Asus does not support Linux on its laptops at all, and any support that exists comes from volunteers. I’m very happy with my current setup, but there are some rough edges that come from the lack of official support.

Which model did you use to generate this, and what tool did you use?

Legend.

She’ll probably get fired, deported to Palestine, and ultimately killed by her own code, but she did the right thing.

Based on the pro Trump people in my life, I’ve seen two classes:

• Those in denial and ignorant in general (don’t really follow the news), who don’t believe for example that Trump is deporting people without due process, and blatantly violating the law and constitution.

• Those who are so sucked into the MAGA own-the-libs circle-jerk that even when presented with the facts and proof of Trump doing something blatantly illegal, will usually retort with something like “oh so when the Democrats do it it’s okay, but now the Trump is doing it it’s wrong??? You fucking communist!”

Both I believe are the result of being fed far right propaganda by YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc. It’s the only explanation I have. These aren’t random people I don’t know. These are people I love and have known my whole life.

It hurts to see, and I don’t see a way to help them that doesn’t involve ruining those relationships. I avoid talking about politics around them because I know it’s going to make me resent them, and I don’t want that.

ok boomer

I never got around to using anything except git, partly because of all the hate people would throw at the other competitors back in the day. Even if the criticisms were not fair, and even if it was all a secret conspiracy to kill git competitors, it definitely worked out for the best. Imagine the hell we’d be in today if we had to constantly deal with different VCS solutions.

There’s nothing ‘archaic’ about git’s CLI. I think you might just be opposed to CLI’s in general, which is fine for a regular computer user, but paints a grim picture of your competency if you’re a developer.

I made a game engine and a game back in highschool, but all that code is lost because I didn’t know how to use git. I knew git existed (and even knew enough to know it was better than mercurial or svn), but I was too lazy to learn.

Is this a case of total brainwash, or just a case of a parent who didn’t want his kid? Measles seems like a socially acceptable form of post-birth abortion today.

Wow, that was an awesome rabbit hole, thank you for the link.

If you want to change someone’s mind, they have to see you as in-group.

Maybe a less manipulative-sounding way to phrase that might be that we should remind people that we’re all in it together. The far right media and their billionaire buddies have spent the past decade and a half dividing us, and they succeeded. Idk what it would take to unite this country again, but it at least is a little comforting to have a clear problem statement.
