Totally, though I wouldn’t bother switching if your project is half assembly anyway. Unsafe Rust definitely has some beauty to it, but only if there is some safe Rust to embedd it into

What did Rust do to FFmpeg to make them so mad lol

I love FIDO logins and next to fucking no one implements them :(

That has to come from someone who doesn’t know the bliss of micro

I think AI is great for code review. It’s a best-effort process anyway, so letting an AI loose in addition to a coworker doesn’t hurt. So far it beats any human review by far, because it can detect even the most obscure (potential) flaws

Jep, SUSE is quite big. Ubuntu is only more popular among private users

I bought server drives because the price/TB was lower, and I want to give you just one hint: Server drives tend to be very loud

Vibe Coding is a security problem literally everybody except vibe coders warned about

You can also just donate! They even have merch if you want some of your money going that direction

I mean, this is of course bad for people using BSD, but you can’t really fault devs for not supporting what you want. It’s FOSS. You support what you want, or you take what you get. Maybe support will come eventually, until then stick with SDDM or some other alternative.

Well, I don’t know whether it’s by default, but systemd does so - if the program doesn’t close in a timely manner (or there is an exception configured)

PSA: GitHub does not have a monopoly, you are free to host your stuff elsewhere (or yourself)

Say it with me: It’s not vibe coding if you read and understand the code.

That is not vibes, that is knowing what you’re doing and working based off of a suggestion.

Valve has by no means a monopoly - they have lots of competition. They are just, hands down, the best game distribution platform available, and by a huge margin. People actively choose them over alternatives that do exist.

Point being: They are not a monopoly that isn’t bad, they have the influence they have because they are pretty darn good at what they do

If you would have spend the time it took you to write this rant on research, you would habe probably realized there are TUI front-ends for GDB.

Bazzite works pretty well out of the box and with new hardware (n = 1)

ChatGPT can just about summarize a page, wake me when it starts outsmarting anyone

Give me a compositor with at least some of the capabilities of Awesome

KDE Plasma.

and some none alpha-quality VNC solutions

The one from KDE.

And before you call me uninformed, please explain to me why per-window custom shaders are a necessity (i.e. overwhelmingly useful and irreplacable) for anyone. And furthermore, what anything you said has to do with me questioning the necessity of not maintaining, but reimplementing X.

I never said anything about Awesome or any X WM, I didn’t even say anything about people sticking with an X environment. I commented on a post about a new X implementation, because I wondered why people go out of their way to keep X around, after its own maintainers declared it abandonware.

I mean, Rust has the massive upsite that it won’t compile in many cases if you fuck things up. Then again, embedded or generally low-level driver-y stuff is still in its infancy in Rust. Relative to C/C++ that is.

There is stuff that you need that has no official Rust support. There is poor documentation and half baked frameworks. There are examples being silently outdated, breaking changes between framework versions, and nighlty-versions from Github mixed in to fix them. And then of course plenty of timing and hardware dependent things you will need to do yourself.

I do this for a living and personally tried to use AI here and there to help me out, but oftentimes it fails miserably. Not always, but very often.

I don’t get why people cling to X so desperately. You get no benefits and downsides on top. Wayland is becoming the default for all major and even some smaller DEs, so good luck avoiding all of them and backporting features so Wayland native apps don’t break.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do stuff like this for fun. You can do anything for fun. I don’t get why of all things you would do that for fun, but go ahead
