Steam deck is quite good with touch I find.

Must be nice in that small section of western Europe. For the rest of us things are not so blissful.

Tail scale already has a bunch of limitations for unpaid users but it’s only an extra step to set up wireguard in a container.

Honestly, I’ve had little trouble. The Gentoo Wiki and Void Handbook have a lot of overlap with OpenRC and musl, respectively.

While the documentation could be improved, the overall experience has been quite good and very stable.

I’m not trying to be unhelpful. My advice would be to steer into the terminal. Bite the bullet. I use arch and alpine for my servers but Fedora would be fine (but SELinux can be a pain with bund mounts)

Probably just go with Fedora with btrfs for snaps. It has lots of support and is a common choice for servers

Well, it could change the meaning of the prompt unintentionally.

The real challenge is that this technology is not universally accessible so people aren’t learning effective use-case and prompt strategies.

Whilst 1B models are easy enough to run and have plenty of use, nobody can teach this, its a nightmare on Windows and most universities have collapsed under their own weight. Half my comp sci profs didn’t know python 10 years ago and I know for a fact this hasn’t improved (hiring developers – not fun).

Yeah for all the things he says that many disagree with, this one is pretty good.

My parents never noticed. It’s only younger generations who are heavily invested in the branding.

Actual usage is much the same.

My biggest complaint about lemmy is the lack of content and censorship.

The only meaningful lemmy is dbz0.

If i want to read about cybersec, darknet, drugs etc. Reddit has far more content and far more discussion with less censorship – which is insane because they just about create everything now.

Very different. Ggplot is for plotting data using a layered approach in R. Gnuplot is more like a plotting toolkit in itself.

Ggplot looks better with less effort typically. It’s comparable to seaborn.

Wireguard (or tailscale) would be best here.

Oh yeah sure it’s not the ethics thats actually the problem. I think everybody agrees on the need for a strict ethical framework.

But most of the research institutions that I have been involved with have cared very little about the actual ethical constraints of research (such as data privacy or survey questions that could be triggering) But every single time they will pull you up on the font being too aggressive, whatever that means.

I can’t speak for regions other than my own however.

The bureaucracy of a typical ethics review is insane and it neither helps design ethical experiments or set boundaries, it’s just paperwork concerned with font type. there’s more truth to this than we’d like, which is not ok.

I think the parents suggestion was to not use it.

However, it’s a bit like avoiding water on a boat given how pervasive the cancer is.

Most of the MS suite is pretty awful. OG OneNote was a good idea. VSCode is ok, just quite slow. Oh LSP is fantastic, I believe that was developed by MS.

The Office Suite and PowerBI are terrible, by 2025 standards it’s glossy trash.

Yep. mid size business is the best place to be for engineers. You get your pick Of the lot all without HR 🙃

Devils advocate. The m{1,4} chips are nice.

Exactly! I would never PR, extend or build off find.c, And I sure as shit I’m not gonna work on C or C++ in my own free time. However, Rust is really fun to use, and it’s got a great ecosystem. In this vein, this is a good thing for the community, and it’s not just hype.

The Fish blog post discussed this and I think they had a good point when they were talking about how hard it was to get contributors from a large pool when they were working with C++.

Without a doubt, anything you can do in Rust you can do in C and C++, but I think it’s fair to say the large majority of people are going to be more productive in Rust or at least have a more enjoyable development experience.

In large part it’s a matter of opinions and different perspectives. A common consensus is libraries should be MIT and entire applications should be GPL. However, this is not held by all community members.

Overall, Rust is easier to read and harder to fuck up, so there’s one argument in favour if it, in terms of community engagement. For an example of this, compare ls.c by Apple, GNU, FreeBSd and OpenBSD.

On the other hand, I should imagine most people simply install ripgrep and fd anyway.

Every OS just mentioned can be updated, no support needed? Just overlay the next kernel over the last and all these distros provide a pathway for that.

Moreover, Arch, Void, Gentoo etc are rolling, so no loss of support.

I figure a multi-million dollar company could do the equivalent of exactly that.

Steam Deck is a step in the right direction but a bit too big
