  • I'm genuinely baffled how many oligarchs had contact with Epstein. I do believe their primary job qualification is a lack of morals, but there's so many ways to be amoral, you don't have to all be friends with the guy that offers pedophilia.

  • Yeah, I understand that it isn't as bad, but it doesn't explain why they didn't go with something that's entirely non-bad. We have the technology.

  • KikiKDE and bouba GNOME

    Jump

  • Yeah, I often hear that. A few years ago, I tried to get into Krusader, because I also liked some of the features it has, but after two weeks or so, I realized that I don't use the file manager nearly often enough to make progress in learning a different workflow. 😅

    Well, and I also kind of had the problem that navigating into directories is quite fast on the terminal, especially with Fish shell, so I often do that there and then run open . to launch the GUI file manager for the thumbnails or dragging into other GUI applications.And that Frankenstein workflow is kind of diametrically opposed to dual-pane file managers, where you really need to navigate to different locations in the respective pane from within the file manager. 🫠

  • AfD-Politiker vor Gericht: Halemba wegen Geldwäsche und Nötigung verurteilt

    Jump

  • Der Prozess fand vor einem Jugendschöffengericht statt, weil Halemba beim Tatkomplex Geldwäsche aufgrund seines damaligen Alters noch unter das Jugendstrafrecht fällt.

    Geldwäsche als Jugendlicher wirkt auch echt nochmal besonders hart. Braucht man dafür nicht i.d.R. irgendwelche kriminellen Kontakte, die einem die Kniffe zeigen? Wenn man da schon als Jugendlicher reinrutscht, da kommt man doch nicht mehr raus...

  • KikiKDE and bouba GNOME

    Jump

  • on a machine that I ran for years, i basically did kde but with a different file manager

    Might've been PCManFM-Qt, which is also used by LXQt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMan_File_ManagerAt least, that's another Qt file manager I know of.

    Well, or it was Krusader: https://krusader.org/But Krusader is funky, i.e. similar to Total Commander and GNU Midnight Commander...

  • France Just Created Its Own Open Source Alternative to Microsoft Teams and Zoom

    Jump

  • Yeah, one of the largest pieces of software humanity has created, next to Google Chrome and the Linux kernel, which are all around 30 million lines of code.

    To give a frame of reference: With a team of 5 full-time devs at my dayjob, we can dish out a codebase of about 20 thousand lines over the course of two years.

    A browser might be somewhat quicker to build, because the requirements are relatively clear at this point and you can start implementing many standards in parallel. But yeah, it's still just an insane amount of code.

  • France Just Created Its Own Open Source Alternative to Microsoft Teams and Zoom

    Jump

  • Well, the point is that GitHub is owned by Microsoft, so if they're already developing an alternative to a Microsoft service, they would probably want to also use an alternative to a Microsoft service for their source code hosting.

  • We need libraries, but instead of books, you borrow musical instruments.

    Jump

  • You can do that where I live, but you can also borrow musical instruments in the library here, so no idea, if that's universal...

  • 'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN

    Jump

  • I would still call it virtually the same game, especially since they didn't even bother to fix lots of awful bugs.

    But I think, we can both agree that Morrowind would need a significantly larger overhaul, if you wanted to make it feel 'modern'. You'd need voice acting. Perhaps optional quest markers. Well, and the combat system would basically need reimplementing from scratch.

    Jump

  • For PC, there's already OpenMW to do that: https://openmw.org/

    Basically, it's a fan reimplementation of the Morrowind engine, which you feed the original game files into. It also has a number of improvements over the original, like higher resolution, higher view distance and virtually no loading times.

  • We could start sending radio waves there and if something happens to be alive there, the response wouldn't arrive until 300 years from now. 🫠

  • NixOS is the best operating system I absolutely cannot recommend to anyone - Anurag Singh

    Jump

  • Oof, I was just talking about making things declarative there. If you want to configure it the old-fashioned way, like you would on other distros, then those difficulties don't apply.

    In more general terms, though, it's a bit of a double-edged sword. The Nix package repository has more packages than other package managers: https://repology.org/repositories/graphs

    So, the chance of finding an obscure software, that's already packaged, is rather high.Here's the online package search, if you want to check the availability of some of the obscure software you use: https://search.nixos.org/packages

    But then, yeah, the flipside is that, from what I understand, you can't just download a random executable off of the internet and run it, because of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard not being adhered to, as the post also mentions.You can set up Flatpaks, and I believe AppImages would work, because those also live in their own FUSE filesystem. Well, and there is ways to emulate the FHS layout to get normal applications to run, too.

    But yeah, way out of my field of expertise there. I have only one software installed which isn't packaged for Nix, which is a program I wrote myself.And to get sufficient FHS emulation for that, I just needed this line in my config:

     nix
        
programs.nix-ld.enable = true;

    More complex programs will need a bit of extra configuration: https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Nix-ld

    (I could also add a flake.nix file into my software's repository, though, which would make it so it could be installed straight from my repo, as if it was packaged.)

  • Me, after carefully reading Rust's ownership and borrow checker rules

    Jump

  • Oh wow, what the hell. I'm not actually familiar with C++ (just with Rust which gets similar reactions with the ampersands), but that's insane that it just copies shit by default. I guess, it comes from a time when people mostly passed primitive data types around the place. But yeah, you won't even notice that you're copying everything, if it just does it automatically.

    And by the way, Rust did come up with a third meaning for passing non-references: It transfers the ownership of the object, meaning no copy is made and instead, the object is not anymore allowed to be used in the scope that passed it on.That's true, except for data types which implement the Copy trait/interface, which is implemented mostly for primitive data types, which do then get treated like C++ apparently treats everything.
