I’ve been dual booting Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) for a while, and sadly I’m back on Windows after a month and a half of exclusively using Linux. The reason? Ethernet. I need to assign a static IP to a dev board with Ethernet, and while it works fairly easily on Windows, it just doesn’t work on Linux, saying it’s unavailable in the nmcli output.

Of course, Windows is worse than before. It hasn’t fixed the bug where it never updates the system time, forcing me to manually press sync on every boot. And it hasn’t fixed the newer bug where my laptop display needs to go down to 768p to display 300Hz, making me to go down to 60Hz to use the full 1080p resolution. All the while Microsoft pushes things nobody wants.

But COM interfaces can’t pass exceptions, only HRESULTs. I don’t know how it was working in the first place if the setup was this janky.

I feel like it’s as much the number of libraries as the language. There are many bloated C/C++ applications.

Because an LLM can generate a lot of (garbage?) code quickly.

Bad article, the number of issues aren’t normalized to anything other than PRs. I expect AI authorized PRs to be somewhat bigger than a fully human authorized one.

Nobody’s mentioning the system monitor taking 227MiB?

Time to chmod 000 every game on the system and have them figure out what file permissions are ;)

I remember when I was a young child one of my favorite things to do on a computer was… Entering numbers into Excel.

I don’t know if this is a good idea, but I’ve been thinking of the idea of giving an old air-gapped computer with Linux to a potential young child of mine.

Therefore, they can tinker around, play with educational software, maybe even learn some terminal stuff, all without the dangers of the Internet.

Because you’re coding “based on vibes,” not logical thought.

Using AI to generate code without fully understanding what the code is doing.

What are good brands that don’t sell your data? Is TP-link okay?

No, I mean 500Mb/s, as my Internet will be 300Mb/s. My needs are not great.

Arch seems so interesting because you install the system component by component in the command line but I’ve heard it has poor long term stability. Is there a distro that’s like Arch for installation but more stable?

Oh boy. I got into Pokémon when I was 8 and I still love the format. It has a great progression system (at least in my mind) and can be used in easy and super challenging ways, like Nuzlockes. I have way too much nostalgia for the series and I like the music way too much.

My short opinions of the each game:

R/B/Y: Unbalanced, seriously exploitable glitchy games. At least there’s no cutscenes.

G/S/C: Terrible level curve, ruins the games.

R/S/E: The first games to really nail the format.

FR/LG: What R/B/Y should’ve been.

D/P: Great potential but please play on emulator because they’re so slow. Play platinum instead and don’t bother with the remakes.

HG/SS: Best for a grand Pokémon Game, but still retains some of the bad progression from G/S/C. Still a great game overall

B/W: I have way too much nostalgia for these games but they’re some of the best.

B2W2: Less nostalgia but objectively better than even B/W in multiple ways.

XY: Mediocre

OR/AS: Good remake on a great base.

S/M/US/UM: If you like playing Pokemon instead of watching cutscenes, don’t play these games. Seriously, don’t.

LGPE: Gimmicky games. FR/LG is better unless you really enjoy the Let’s Go gimmicks.

SwSh: Mediocre I believe

BDSP: See D/P

PLA: I still need to get around to playing it, gah the backlog is too long

S/V: Actually really great games if you hate how linear other Pokemon games are like I do, and you can look past the performance issues

If you have any questions or comments please reply lol.

Does this turn Linux into a RTOS that can do stuff like control the ECU or traction control for a motorcycle?

Yes, which is why a delicate mixture of both is best because they spend their efforts fighting each other rather than fighting your freedom.

It’s hosted on GitHub, but I really want to self host one day.

What other features are missing? I’m still pretty much a beginner so it can be very tricky to implement things.

I’ve had game and software ideas swirling around in my brain, but for the longest time I couldn’t program them. But now, I have enough knowledge to build parts of my grand deckbuilding game idea: An arcade style deckbuilding game with strong meta-progression. It’s playable at superspruce.org.

As for some other ideas, including the simple idea of a weighted shuffle music playlist where each song has its own weight, they are still currently out of reach, mostly due to trying to access the filesystem and whatnot. Better than a month ago, where within the last month I found out how to make the browser play music
