Should have started with C

Well, guess who’s not buying next gen Ryzen?

They are doing similar stuff with deliberately delaying Linux driver capabilities for Radeon 7xxx series, to make more GPUs die out faster, by overheating (zero RPM fan until 60°+).

Now we just need a friendly neighbourhood nanoscale fab.

In short, if you’re pwned once, you are pwn3d f0r3v#rrrrreeeheehaahaahaa*cough**cough*

These are the kinds of exploits you use to create APT (Advanced Persistent Threats).

Alternatively, you can just use the `` enclosure, used for single line code.
That is a “grave accent” or a “backtick”, the key you will find on the left of the ‘1’ key and under the ‘Esc’ key on a standard (ISO, maybe) 104/105 key qwerty keyboard.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Talking about bootstrap here?

You’re right, but at the same time.

Let’s say a website has an issue and was one time faulty. Clients lost money. Then the site owner is notified of the fault by multiple clients. The site owner uses some words to placate them and goes on with their day.

The site owner then makes some changes to the site, meaning they did have the time and money to pay a developer to update the site, but decides to keep the previous bug in, as a feature, implemented in a different way, this time better at stealing their money.

Sure, the obvious solution is to use another site (the laundromat down the road).

I am a desktop person.
My main reasons for using a smartphone instead of a phone, are:

1. GPS Maps. This is something I most probably won’t be able to contribute to, while at the same time, I need it a lot.
2. UPI (Unified Payments Interface). I can manage with paper money, but this is just too useful. If Linux mobile were to pick-up, I think I could manage to get it supported by the Govt.
3. WhatsApp, because no matter how much I don’t want to, others, including workplace teammates, will make that a requirement.

Until these requirements are met, I will associate Linux mobile with words like, “next” and “tomorrow”.

Welcome to Linux for Mobile.
The next generation OS for keeping your smartphone private and your conversations (kinda) secure.

It’s “next generation”, because we probably won’t have a good enough solution in the lifetime of the current generation’s people.

But if you have both: enough money to buy an extra fairphone for testing and the time and ability to program drivers, please consider it.

Yeah, it doesn’t really make any sense for them to have it anywhere other than the backend.

Guess this particular exec is not getting this month’s bonus.

Sounds like something an apple exec might say… For their products.

commands to install dependencies n shit

That only happens if you are fixated on installing the software without connecting to the internet.
Otherwise, the package manager does it for you (that’s what its job is)

something extremely niche

Desktop Linux is already pretty niche.

Just take it and move to another start system.

And learn assembly

I have a feeling making it all CAPS would have made it just a bit easier.
That, or using monospace fonts for it everywhere.

Except that softwares and hardwares probably came out of the word “wares”.

Reading this as someone who torrents debian ISOs instead of directly downloading then in the hopes of reducing server load, while at the same time, not torrenting any pirated stuff.

But well, I was born a wee bit before 2000

I feel like the user’s suggestion of “jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge” would be more impactful in that case, you know, to awaken your survival instincts, which prevents depression.
But on the off chance that someone actually goes and jumps off, a professional would probably not give that advice.

1950s

A: The transistor I made using your blueprint doesn’t switch properly at 12V.
Maker of Blueprint: The one I made, works at 12V.
B: I’mma make standard transistors.

Silicates are everywhere! It’s hard to throw a rock without throwing one!

If that’s all that’s needed to consider yourself having a basic understanding, then I already had it by the time I passed HS.

Unfortunately, the Alt text doesn’t tell us the bar, so we can’t know how round we are.

On the contrary, it (the website) looks really nice.

The product, on the other hand, seems targeted towards “normies” and would probably do better in a place that doesn’t have ppl already self hosting their stuff.

Also ~100Mb/s is in no way the average speed in an Indian household.

You’re right. It’s not.

I also don’t see any specific mentions of india in your link up there to that random site.

I don’t see any either. Guess why. Because it only has the top 10, further emphasising the point that :

the average Indian is not doing “Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts”

And Japan has a 300+ Tb/s connection. Your point?
My point is that the average Indian is not doing “Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts” (not sure what banddrift even means, but no).

And yes, a 1Gb/s connection is theoretically available, but how many people are using the ~₹4000/month connection?

Considering how many people tend to just not have Broadband at home, relying just on mobile internet, we can see how things compare with others.

Also, to point to the tread starter, most of the “thousands of” cables that you see on poles in congested areas, are just abandoned cables from older installations which nobody cared to remove.

those wizards must be streaming some Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts with all them wires.

That part is wrong for India, at least.
Here’s a random site with some stats
India, you can expect ~100Mb/s with FTTH and 50Mb/s otherwise. Reliability is even worse.

Rest is right.

It’s not the result, but the process.

You can teach ppl stuff all you want, but what they really need, is to learn how to figure it out themselves. Otherwise, when the best practices you teach them become obsolete, they won’t be able to create their own.

It’s kinda fun to think of programming as magic.
And “libraries” as grimoires/tomes .

It’s surprising how far you can go with the analogy.

That’s just camel case vs snake case (though in this case, it also has the first character capitalised)

I use C++ and in certain projects, I am already halfway there.

Glucose dev here.

I think it’s the nerds’ job to teach the ML to ruin jokes.

I got interested and asked ChatGPT. It gave a middle-management answer.
Guess we know who’ll be the first to go.

It seems already too late for that movement - at least in places like the more “developed” states in the US.

I use a bicycle for commute btw.

I agree with that. And my point being “Start the movement (of buying older cars instead of new ones) now and change the status quo (of high demand for new cars) while also being able to get older cars that cannot be subscriptionified, because later, even the older cars will be such, that they will have a subsciption, making even 2nd handers to pay the OEM”.

Yeah, the point is, do it now and change the status quo, because later, it will be too late.

This seems to be one way of them trying to prevent piracy.

The situation here is that the game soundtracks I bought on are not prevented from download and I am able to use it on any device I want. Despite that, it never came to my mind to pirate it. Same for the GoG games. But there still exist enough pirated steam games out there.

It can be simply concluded that the people who don’t want to pirate, will buy the stuff and not pirate it no matter how easy you make it, whereas those who want to pirate it will actually be more zealous in pirating stuff that makes it harder to do so.

Interesting. Perhaps I’ll try doing the single computer thingy.

Hmm. I remember steam saying it can’t run a game because the same account was using a game on another PC. Maybe something changed since then. I’ll check it out again. Thanks for the info.

Until you think it might be fun to play 2 games on 2 different monitors on 2 computers at the same time. Then you realise, Steam games are not treated as just software. 1 of the many reasons I prefer to pay the price for GoG despite Steam being significantly cheaper due to regional pricing.
