It’s actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

(I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

Look, I can make a right wing campaign out of this! BAN THE SUN SAVE YOUR KIDS FROM 800T (Terahertz) RADIATION

I used it for a while and I think it’s been one of the best languages I’ve tried. C for example is too barebones for modern desktop apps. Apps written in Rust are great but most of the time, it’s just not worth the effort. And stuff like Python, JS is… uhh… where do I even begin

I think Go hits the sweet spot between these. Unlike C, it at least has some simple error/panic mechanism, GC so you don’t have to worry about memory much and some modern features on top of that. And unlike Python it can actually create reasonably snappy programs.

In any programming language, there will always be multiple cases where you need to link C libraries. CGo, although people don’t seem to be adoring it, is actually… okay? I mean of course it does still have some overhead but it’s still one of the nicer ways to link C libraries with your code. And Go being similar to C makes writing bindings so much easier

Multithreading in Go is lovely. Or as I read somewhere “you merely adopted multithreading, I was born with it”

Packaging is handled pretty nicely, pulling a library from the net is fairly trivial. And the standard directory structure for Go, although I’m not used to it, makes organizing stuff much easier and is easy to adopt

As you would’ve guessed from the amount of times I mentioned C in this comment, I basically see Go as the “bigger C for different situations”

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT PROPRIETARY NOVIDYA BULLSHIT DRIVERS AAARGGGH

If you got root, running a Linux container under chroot is faster than proot so use that instead.

And if you want a full blown Linux distro then Ubuntu touch or postmarketos it is. Look into libhybris if you want your own distro on your phone

I had plans on testing a dualbooted Linux/Android setup by reflashing the boot partition every time I wanted to switch but haven’t done it yet

Running a lemmy instance on a free ngrok tunnel lmao thats weird

Seriously tho, save some money and get yourself a domain and a static ip address. It will make things much easier

drugs

plus if you have RGB strips on your head, it goes even faster!

I love how people put E=mc^2 everywhere

Like, why does Susan need that for a roating table? Unless the table is running on plutonium of course

you can write like 5 of them and rest will be auutomatically done I think

That gives me the idea of windows server installed on bare metal configured as a lightweight game runner. (much like a linux distro with minimal wm)

I’ve seen people using slightly modified windows server as an unbloated gaming OS but I’m not sure if running a custom minimal GUI on windows server is possible. You seem knowledgeable on the subject, with enough effort, is it possible?

But Windows Server has GUI. Although a server having GUI (not webui, desktop) is kinda stupid

As the rule of thumb with FOSS projects, it has a horrible name

Time to rename it to one of the very creative FOSS project names

• yet another something (YAS)
• something is not other thing (SINOT)
• OpenSomething, FreeSomething, LibreSomething
• Something<framework name>
• Periodic table
• Somethingify (this one is new)

Kudos to devs though. This is awesome

I swear this always happens to intelligent people when they age

Me and my best friend are both gifted kids. Our families are all very smart people and so his mom and dad but for some reason, his mom is a really conservative conspiracy theorist (chemtrails, bill gates and the jews stuff) and his dad has weird spiritualist beliefs and rituals (cult inspired from buddism I think? I’m not sure) even though such stuff is forbidden under islam

Recently his mom randomly showed us a video where “they” are “vaccinating the fish”. I was going to burst into laughter if I didn’t hold myself so hard. My bestie is a progressive leftist, he believes in science, and he has a very materialist point of view. He says it’s sometimes embarrassing for him when his family members do such thing in public

And the weirdest part is these are not caused by cognitive decline due to age. They still do understand everything pretty good and they can still process new information in a much more efficient manner than “average” people

My main idea about it is that skepticism can sometimes be a curse for boomers who did not have a source of knowledge to base their skeptic ideas on, and they are just not used to accuiring reliable knowledge from the web. Reliable knowledge often being in English and majority of boomers in my country not knowing English also contributes to that

That’s what I’ve been saying all the time when my brother says monopoly sucks when you don’t win. It’s literally designed to make you suffer

Dmitry is a legend. Just look at the stuff on his website.

Don’t get me wrong, I like this but why am I feeling like this would be a consistency nightmare for GTK and QT apps
