Imperative code has nothing to do with any of that.

Seems to work in RedReader so far.

Reminder that Fabrice Bellard, who originally wrote FFMpeg (and QEMU), also made JSLinux, currently based on his other PC emulator TinyEMU and using WASM.

Oh yeah, it’s certainly not the maintainers wasting time by peddling the snap bullshit that doesn’t work, without thinking beforehand.

Ah, okay, sounds similar to Mint’s ‘Software Manager’.

Is that supposed to be good? I prefer snaps unintegrated with my debs. This very post is about how Ubuntu integrated them too eagerly.

Does Kubuntu not use snaps? One would think that packaging works the same across Ubuntu flavors.

Mint’s Cinnamon might get app grouping in the switcher if the author of this PR changes it according to the feedback. Or, you can try their solution by replacing the js files of the switcher widget.

I like to post issues like that in the bug tracker with concise phrasing like “Why can’t the file editor edit files?” Give them nothing to think that you actually know the answer, make them spell it out.

With me being a laptop user, the sense of pride and satisfaction I got after reading that will coast me through the whole day.

No hotplugging back then. If you pulled out the plug, gotta reboot. Idk if anything worse could happen, like damage to the hardware.

Sorry for nitpicking, but the notion of Sinclair ZX81 ever using drum memory is rather comical — seeing as the latter is quite a humongous hunk of junk.

I’ve been playing the Android port of OpenTTD, on an old and slow tablet. Input is a bit clunky, but tolerable.

Although, strictly speaking, the performance of OpenTTD and OpenRCT2 doesn’t follow from the original being so streamlined — seeing as they’re both reimplementations in C/C++.

To clarify further, ‘Transport Tycoon’ and its update ‘Transport Tycoon Deluxe’ are the direct predecessors of ‘Rollercoaster Tycoon’, with the latter using largely the same engine and being close in the interface. Both games benefited tremendously from having been made in assembly, allowing them to run on mid-nineties machines while juggling hundreds of simulated units and multiple views of the area.

Both games (and the sequel ‘Rollercoaster Tycoon 2’) were programmed by one dude Chris Sawyer, with art and music by other folks (also one per task for RCT, not sure about TTD).

I’ve only recently and briefly looked into the US law on reverse engineering, which is what OpenTTD were initially doing — and apparently the EULA overrides the law in that case, while a lot of software has stock statements in the EULA that forbid reverse engineering.

Thanks. I have to wonder if people became allergic to posting text that can be resized to my screen.

Although the site is also shit, on the phone the text column is like twenty characters wide.

Isn’t apt still better at resolving the dependency tree than other managers? (Idk if it is, but vaguely heard so.)

I’ve been slowly documenting everything so I can reinstall with Debian

This works much better if you document into an Ansible playbook. Although some tasks will probably have to be adjusted between the distros.

If you begin the onboarding process as a senior backend engineer without inquiring as to what your working environment will be, then you’re just incompetent.

All three are ridiculous. In what world should every application take two gigabytes of disk?
