  • Would you be willing to finish a project or creation instantly, in exchange for losing any experience or materials you'd otherwise have doing it the long way?

    Jump

  • Well.. then what did I lose in its creation?

    Yeah, I'd be willing to do that to write a trillion pieces of ultra-advanced software that fulfils every possible need.

    Then I'd monetise enough of it to live comfortably, and then do projects in my own time and actually enjoy them.

  • Give the results a score 1-7, and they're sorted by average, almost certainly.

  • GOG calls Linux "the next major frontier" for gaming as it works on a native client

    Jump

  • It can be a pain if you're doing all the coding yourself in a non X-Platform language, but I think(?) that's not very common nowadays.

    My real frustration is when Indie devs literally use like Gamemaker, Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc and these tools basically all come with very functional native Linux binary export functions, but they don't bother.

  • Would be vastly more interesting to see what.. basically any other nationality than American, would say. Can't imagine a single country population agreeing there's that much leftism there.

    Calling anyone here 'far-left' is utterly derisible.

  • Systemd Creator Lennart Poettering Joins New Linux Integrity Startup

  • Then I have no idea what you're referring to by 'what google is doing to android and tried to do to web' because as far as I know, that isn't relevant.

    What I'm describing is definitively not antivirus. Antiviruses use heuristics (and known checksums of bad things) to scan processes/files/network traffic/system calls for dangerous patterns. They're not doing real-time checksuming to detect system corruption or malfunction, they're not comparing known system files because that's complex and hard to do, and seems to be what the company is claiming here.

    I have no idea what Google checksuming you're referring to but as far as I'm aware that's a not thing they're doing to android and trying to do web. Everything Linux (including Android) does some amount of checksums at certain points because they're useful, but not real-time process checksums. I assumed you were surely referring to them requiring that apps get signed by their certificates, making everything subject to their approval. Which is different from realtime checksumming for integrity.

  • I don't think this is accurate. What Google is doing is making the whole ecosystem depend on Google's approval to be allowed to work.

    In this case, they seem to be claiming they're just doing real-time checking of processes as they run (presumably stuff like checksuming loaded libraries, looking for memory overruns, etc.), and so detecting certain signs of malware or system corruption.

    To be honest, based on the announcement it sounds completely unnecessary, but I don't think they're at all doing what Google is doing.

  • UK citizens to be able to travel to China visa-free, Starmer announces in Beijing

    Jump

  • I've long had this thought that real changes almost exclusively come about when the bourgeois class has a split and starts infighting. What I saw during the five-year debacle that was the lead up to Brexit was bourgeoisie having power struggles with other bourgeoisie. The media messages were mixed, the money was in confusing places, there was no clear understanding where anyone stood.

    It's those weak moments that entities (ideally already well put-together socialist orgs) often have a real chance to exploit and consequently make a big difference. Divide and conquer I suppose.

    In this case, it's actually China getting involved and offering an actually good deal in order to bring about the downfall of US hegemony, which is kind of potentially huge.

  • They can't even IMAGINE how decisions in a FICTIONAL SCIFI SOCIETY could be made without simply deferring to rich people?

    I live in fear that humans are losing the ability to even conceive of a fairer world, it's terrifying.
