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!

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)

Wtf kinda thinkpad is that? No nipple, massive bezels, and rounded corners. Are you sure this isn’t some weird Temu counterfeit?

Although all it would take is one phone call to release Kilmar, Trump never learned how to use a phone. Checkmate, libtards.

He isn’t doing anything that he didn’t specifically say he would do when he was asking for people’s votes. They loved him before the election. They loved voting for him. I can understand why he might not believe that suddenly they don’t like him.

This is what happens when you steal an election

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.

I think the more important insight is how desperately he is trying to appeal to the young male demographic, and going so far as to pay a pro gamer to boost his account in a video game so he can pretend to be one of them.

Why? Probably a lot of potential reasons, but anyone with even a little bit of critical thinking skills should immediately become suspicious when they see that. Because whatever the actual reason, it probably isn’t good.

Consider a devout Muslim person elected to congress who is not able to pray because they don’t get time throughout the day to do it. As a result, they step down because their faith is important to them.

The “usual suspects” don’t want Muslims in congress, so they claim that prayer breaks are unconstitutional, effectively blocking Muslims from any position in Congress, and weakening our democracy further.

It’s another thing entirely if the “prayer breaks” were something they tried to force onto the rest of the country. That’d be the government trying to use its power to spread a particular religion, which is unconstitutional. But prayer breaks inside Congress are just an accessibility thing.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I see it like adding a wheelchair ramp so handicapped congress people can enter the building on their own.

If someone wasn’t able to become a congress person because it isn’t “accessible” to their religion, that would be pretty bad for democracy (although tbh I wouldn’t mind banning religious people from positions of power in general)

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.

If you’re new to Linux, then your probably not familiar with the full Linux community yet. Much like in real life, online Linux spaces tend to have a very loud minority of conservatives who hate progress.

Usually you’ll see them hating on things like systemd, 64bit architectures, containers, new packaging systems (like Flatpak), immutable and experimental distros (like Nix), Wayland, “bloated” desktops like KDE or Gnome, and much more.

And just like in real life, the antidote is to not take another person’s word for it. Do your own homework/try things out yourself and arrive at your own conclusions.

Flatpaks implement deduping, so they actually don’t take that much space when installed.

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.

There’s some politics involved. Basically, everyone is rallying behind JPEGXL instead of WebP, but Google refuses to support JPEGXL in Chrome. The reasoning they gave is weak, so it’s assumed that they’re just trying to force the format they invented on everyone because they can.

IIRC, performance of the two formats is similar.

Lazy motherfuckers on this site can’t even use proper grammar when being a snarky asshole. That shit you wrote is barely coherent.
