I'm looking at a bootsplash with a progress bar that says "Installing Updates... Do not turn off your computer"

golden gust
#

lol, yea

#

I mean, I saw that a few weeks ago as I was testing something with a fedora VM

#

and, like, I kinda get it, but, it's not like live security updates haven't been a thing in the ubuntu scene for years so, idk why they have to make it do it on restarts, etc

magic river
#

Might be an selinux thing?

golden gust

you can still upgrade in place last I knew

magic river
#

System is so locked down it can't upgrade itself until/unless it enters a special mode

What's velocity and waterfall

magic river
#

waterfall is to bungeecord what paper is to spigot

#

velocity is what you get when you take what you learn from waterfall and make a whole new proxy

vernal moth
#

Velocity is waterfall without bungeecord

#

Forced digitization and work from home fueled the need for hiring tech talent for which organizations were willing to pay a little more, resulting in the average tech worker’s salary to reach $104,566 in the U.S.

#

Apparently I'm horribly underpaid

vernal moth
#

Continental wide averages are completely useless

#

If you wanna compare yourself, do it locally

magic river
#

Amazon will boost its maximum base pay to $350,000 for corporate and tech employees, from $160,000 previously, as part of an overall increase in total compensation intended to help recruit top talent and retain existing employees.

#

US-wide averages are useful when the work is mostly or entirely remote

vernal moth
#

I guess

magic river
#

I'm not in the same state as the company I work for

vernal moth
#

350k base pay or total comp? 350k base seems obscene

And people still say you should do cobol to make big bucks, s m h

That was still true when I got out of school but probably hasn't been for at least a decade

I catch myself still saying it though

Err, the thing I just posted says people who think programming means configuring babel and writing JSX make more than COBOL programmers

#

(a surprisingly large portion of my job is configuring babel and writing JSX)

golden gust
#

US wages are often in flated because you pay less in taxes but more elsewhere, etc

#

though, when shit goes good, I think that you can win pretty nicely in the US vs much of the rest of the world if you get into the right areas

#

Who and why invented using "I" at the beginning of interface names in some apps (Forge for example)? Is it sorta styling or something? Have you ever used such styling in the past?

wide chasm
#

Yes, there are many places where people sometimes denote what something is with a prefix.

#

I forgot the exact name of it.

#

Hungarian notation is what it's called.

wet storm
#

Sounds like ye olde cpp thing...

wide chasm
#

It's more popular in some languages than others, C# loves using I to denote interfaces.

tropic flame
#

it's ew

#

all my homies hate hungarian notation

#

I think Java does a better job at it by actually using good naming

List (interface)
ArrayList (implements it)
LinkedList (implements it too)

golden gust
#

Thing is that List works because it explains a wider concept

#

it's a list of elements

#

then you get down to the actual implementations, an array based impl of a List, a linked impl of a List

#

hungarian notation is weird and not something I personally aim to use, ever; but, at the same point, when the goal is to abstract everything, you get down to the case where naming an interface is ass, and so you either overcomplicate names, or, just prepend it

#

I think that part of the horror is that much of these things where put in place back 30 years ago when computer monitors where smaller and IDEs where dummer

#

These days your IDE can natively hint towards all the crap which these "standards" aim to do in a much more productive and efficent manner, especially cross codebases/teams

#

okay, maybe not hungarian, hungarian is more about field names; there was a more apt term for classes named like that, I think? but, bleh

wide chasm
#

It depends on where and how it's used. The entire concept became a thing when programming languages didn't have types, or rather, everything is a number. There I can see Hungarian notation being useful, because you want to know what you're actually storing in that variable. I think an extension of Hungarian notation where you don't abbreviate the type, but actually spell it out is much more sensible and more commonplace. Wouldn't be the first time I converted strings to integers and named one of those "stringNumber" or something. And you could argue that naming a variable just the type (e.g., "String string", "Exception exception", etc.) is just this extended form, you're just prefixing an empty name. And this is really quite common.

#

I think the point is, like everything, Hungarian notation can be useful, just don't blindly follow it.

wet storm
#

I suspect that "I" in forge goes from the mcp days when that hella old decompiler they used did hungarian notation for simplicity of reading interfaces...

vernal moth
#

Forge got rid of a bunch of these already

#

In their obfuscation maps too

wet storm
#

I mean, they use mojmaps by default now

Well, sure, US commercial paper means unsecured loans

magic river
#

AC is not only significantly faster than eigencraft (redstonewireturbo), it's also closer to vanilla mechanics and stable in the areas where it deviates while eigencraft is random

#

The deviations from vanilla are basically bugs that it fixes with directionality or locality making your circuit do different things

#

It still has some directionality cases but not as many and they're always the same direction while eigencraft makes them intentionally random

mental meadow
#

for a second I thought you are talking about air conditioning

magic river
#

tldr everyone should use the AC redstone implementation

void void
magic river
#

I think the randomness in eigencraft was meant to make you not accidentally build things that were dependent on a particular behavior

#

Instead people immediately started using it (even the creator afaik) for RNG in their machines

golden gust
#

I think part of the fun was down to the implementations of java collections being a core part of how redstone works, 😄

#

or, well, at least that was one issue I had elsewhere while looking into something

Flip a coin on any given day and I'll probably change my mind about it

mental meadow

#

I kinda stopped wearing my watch recently because I just can't be arsed with it atm, especially as I need to get a new charging cable and maybe replace the battery, etc

#

was in aussy land

#

idr when it was/the parties involved, but, 😄

#

I think that the thing with watches is that they charge at a decent rate that you can kinda work it into your schedule

#

Like, I'd often just slap mine on charge when I went to do the morning S's and put it back on as I was leaving, or charge it when I was at my desk doing nothing, etc

warm anchor
#

I wear mine for 12+ hour a day, when I sleep, I put them on my nightstand charger

magic river
#

Yeah I end up charging mine while at my desk still but it's nice to only have to do it every 4 or so days

warm anchor

so it really isnt an issue for me if battary dont last for more than a day.

for me it was not needing to wear the armbend that holds my phone for when I was out jogging

My big thing was sleep tracking and also just generally the fact that I leave my phone literally everywhere just cos I get distracted, and find my phone on the watch was a blessing, not to mention notifications so I know if I need to go find it or not

My phone is already Samsung so at least it fits :D

void void
#

will samsung ever fix the fucked up snapchat camera? i wonder

#

like why is the snapchat camera so much better on iphone

golden gust
#

one of the biggest issues with android is the camera API sucks donkey

mental meadow
#

Because Snapchat on Android is programmed bad at least from what I've heard in the past

vague lagoon
#

because iphone doesn’t have a million different series every year

#

amongst other reasons probably

golden gust
#

I mean, it's compounded

#

androids camera API sucks

mental meadow
#

Iirc they used to/did take screenshots of the camera feed instead of actually take a picture

void void
#

i heard it was something to so with snapchat doing a "preview" of the camera without actually hooking it

#

*to do

golden gust
#

and so any app wanting to do stuff with the camera either gets limited from said API or does stuff to try to get around it which ends up sucking and getting into hardware specifics which ends up sucking

mental meadow
#

Okay back to i/o that looks awesome

golden gust
#

Like, so many camera features basically end up on relying on device specific APIs outside of androids built in API

#

I'll probs watch the highlights, I just wanna facedesk right now

#

Why do you need a smart smoke detector?

mental meadow
#

It's actually pretty useful imo
Like here in the apartment it's nice to have just because it sends you notifications when shits happening
Plus the early warning is nice to have, where it tells you if there is smoke, but nothing dangerous yet, where other smoke detectors would just go off while cooking
Back home in Germany it's even more useful because my grandparents live right next to us, and my uncle with his family lives above them. So when one smoke alert gets set off they all go together and tell you where the smoke is

#

We bought them mostly to make sure we'd notice if my grandparents forget to turn off the stove and start a fire

golden gust
#

I mean, much of that is shittily installed detectors

mental meadow
#

Which actually almost happened once so yay

golden gust
#

had one fun issue with a flat in which the shared kitchen didn't have a smoke extractor which was piped in properly, it just kinda like, dumped out the smoke in the correct kinda area

mental meadow
#

Also the carbon monoxide alarm is the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard it's perfect

golden gust
#

and, the window was low down af, and so, smoke rises, builds up under door frame, hits smoke detector

mental meadow
#

But for real the fact that I get a notification if there's smoke and potentially hurry back home or call a neighbor to check before there's a proper fire is really nice to have, i don't wanna say it's relaxing but it's one less thing to worry about

#

Also it has a night light

vernal moth
#

I guess I never worried about fires, lol

mental meadow
#

But because of the nature of carbon monoxide detectors you'll have to replace it after 10 years which sucks for a device that expensive

vernal moth
#

I don't have the mental capacity to worry about such things

wide chasm
#

Smoke detectors that turn on a light if they detect movement can burn in a fire. Want to go to the toilet at night, entire house is awake because the smoke detector decides to turn on its light.

#

I'm constantly anxious about everything so it's nice to have

#

You can't use a smart device for 10 years anyways, lol

bluetooth has a fairly decent range, tbqh

You wouldn't use Bluetooth for that, just normal 2.4ghz

I mean, it's bluetooth

vernal moth

Also, Bluetooth or Bluetooth LE?

golden gust
#

well, headphones, so I doubt LE

vernal moth
#

My Sonys use LE if they can

golden gust
#

Well, chinesium headphones

#

I got them off a mate, but, range is generally good these days

#

BT 5 LE is spec'd up to 400m

vernal moth
#

I know, it's still nothing to proper 2.4ghz

golden gust
#

Bluetooth 2.1 is up to 100m

vernal moth
#

In a vacuum maybe

#

My headset at work is 2.4ghz and I can walk thru half the building and it still works

#

In a really high noise area, since everybody has headsets and we have 4 wifi networks meshed across the campus

mental meadow
# mental meadow Sadge

I just noticed that the batteries have lasted over 5 years now which is impressive for a smart device

golden gust
#

I mean, that's what LE is for

#

the thing can basically trickle batteries down and are generally rated for like 10 years

#

at which you should generally be replacing these devices anyways

mental meadow
#

Yeah but it's internet connected
And it's using cheap AA batteries from Aldi

golden gust
#

not really surprising, tbqh

#

bluetooth LE devices have lasted for 10 years on a coin cell

#

Is integer compression like lin256 or whatever it's called useless?

#

Like 25565 in watchamacallit is like 0xa5 0xa577 0xbhgs

#

So 25565 is 6 bytes but lib447 or whatever is 20 bytes+ (longer because I made that up in my head)

quick obsidian
#

i like your funny words

potent wedge
#

okay here is real 25565 vs LEB128

#

5 bytes vs 12 bytes

#
>>> Normal = 25565
>>> len(LEB128)
12
>>> len(b'25565') # len doesnt work with integers but b'' works better

Wow 2022 and Nvidia goes OS finally.

magic river
#

Without an open source userspace it won't get accepted

#

So it'll be better than ZFS since you can ship the module binary with your distro but still have to live out of tree and hope no one removes anything they're using

magic river
#

Oh it's also almost literally just their closed source driver but open

#

The only major change appears to be that it has DMA-BUF support (which is probably the reason this happened)

#

It's still a generic core with a Linux wrapper and the API/ABI still changes every driver release

#

The driver is only going to get upstreamed if they rewrite it and also nouveau uses it

#

But at least it exists now, I guess

#

Oh and they have no interest in community involvement apparently, releases will be tossed over the wall

#

And if you do manage to write something they want to use you have to sign a CLA that gives them the right to do whatever they want with it

brave mountain
#

I think they just dumped it there

#

Someone else will have to rewrite it.

turbid oar
#

@cosmic raft If you don't mind can I have access to that channel?

magic river
#

Distros will be able to ship this driver as a part of their kernel package, all precompiled and signed just like every other driver

#

But the model for it is still the same as the closed source driver: releases are thrown over the wall, need a new kernel module for a new userspace driver release, etc

#

And there is zero chance that gets into the upstream kernel

lavish compass
#

Holy shit, what

warm anchor
#

@lavish compass AYAYARie

lavish compass
#

NVIDIA open source driver? No way

magic river
#

The hope is that Red Hat can take this and work with nvidia to make a new amdgpu-like kernel module that has a stable ABI that both nouveau and nvidia use

magic river
#

That would be able to go upstream since it would have a functional userspace driver and would follow kernel development policies

#

And then eventually perhaps you'll only use the closed source driver if you care about CUDA

#

But this is years away, if it happens at all

lavish compass
#

Still, a good step from nvidia

magic river
#

It's good, I'm a bit worried that only Red Hat has been talking about this roadmap though

#

nvidia's roadmap for it is just to try to stabilize the ABI

#

I figure nvidia didn't have a choice, DMA-BUF is everywhere now and is the glue heterogenous computing is using which is very important in mobile and datacenter/supercomputer

#

And they can't use DMA-BUF without an open source driver

#

They either have to fork the driver for every device they want their GPUs to share buffers with (and carry all of those forever out of tree too), have an inefficient system that requires all of those buffers to go through the CPU and main memory, or open source so they can use DMA-BUF

#

It's notable that the only new API this open source driver uses vs the closed one is DMA-BUF

#

Otherwise it's still entirely off in its own world reinventing everything

mellow canyon

i could never get the hang of c++

or like what do u mean

#

i tried c++ but it has so much abstraction that i think i'd rather learn it over summer before starting college this september

golden gust
#

I'm saying the the fact that you can write shit code is a stupid metric for how good a language is

#

You can write shit code in rust too, just there are extra buggy bumpers to protect you from doing stuff *too * dangerous

#

if you were about to learn a language, would u recommend rust over c++?

but at least i have somewhat of an understanding on how to use each of the 10 so

So I don't get it, are they tanking LUNA to try to get UST back up to $1 or is it just failing because people are bailing on it?

#

Basically identical on that chart and last time I pulled it up they were actually the other way around

#

I guess someone gave the C++ benchmarks another optimization pass

#

If you're writing something larger than a toy for a benchmark then things change too

#

For one thing, it's impossible to optimize a useful program to the level these things are, that only makes sense if your program has some small piece(s) that take up a significant chunk of your runtime

still sorrel

idk

#

allow minimessage syntax in chat

golden gust

chat is now signed

still sorrel

and show the parsed result

golden gust
#

the preview basically allows for the back and forth magic which would allow servers to modify chat and the client to sign said modified chat

urban depot
#

the messages are already signed with their usernames though aren't they?

golden gust
#

but, the server can't modify said messages without losing the signature

urban depot
#

Oh that's smart

vernal moth

Basically Mojang copied out chat renderer Interface, lol

#

Their chat decorator is our chat renderer

brave mountain
#

they copied paper?

quick obsidian
#

they often 'take inspiration' from existing projects, they can't include external code though

#

pistons were originally from a mod, for example

vernal moth

They can and do include external code

brave mountain
#

emojis or chat coloring

quick obsidian
#

oh slicedlime told me they don't do that

brave mountain
#

?

golden gust
#

Well, they can't just copy code from randomers

vernal moth
#

But no, they didn't copy anything, there's only so many ways you can have such an interface, lol

#

I just was saying they have the same concept now

brave mountain
#

are emojis on java?

quick obsidian
#

i was talking about including starlight on stream and he said they can't accept external code

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vernal moth
#

Which isn't surprising, cause as cat said, we explicitly asked for this

golden gust
#

but, they use 3rd party libraries, and generally, there is a whole bunch of people around whom talk about this stuff

brave mountain
#

they copy the idea but not the code, ok

quick obsidian
#

ahh ok so libs are fine i get you

golden gust
#

This entire mechanism of the back and forth is something we asked for

vernal moth
#

But we often collaborate on exploits

golden gust
#

The concept is that the server can modify the component, send it back to the client, and the client can sign it before it sends it

quick obsidian
quick obsidian
#

sorry for ping cat

golden gust
#

if you modify the component, you're gonna break the signature

quick obsidian
#

but styling modifies the component?

golden gust
#

styling how?

quick obsidian
#

colors, formatting (bold, underline) etc

golden gust
#

Yes

#

which is why, the server can now send the custom styled component back to the client for the client to sign

quick obsidian
#

ahh ok so now the server can change it back

#

that's super smart

#

good idea cat, happy to see it implemented

vernal moth
#

It's a hard requirement for any of this to work on servers

#

If servers can't modify the message, nobody will enabled signed chat, making all this effort obsolete

quick obsidian
#

mojang officially switches to adventure when kekww

golden gust
#

oh god, I dread to see how spigot will deal with this

vernal moth
#

Inb4 spigot just disables signing and changes nothing

quick obsidian
#

it's md_5, so there won't be a spigot API for it and he'll deprecate all the events again

foggy silo
#

I mean spigot legit ignores translatable everywhere lol

golden gust
#

I mean, we are gonna have to break out some logic

vernal moth
#

Well, we don't have a solution for commands either auxilor

quick obsidian
#

the material enum is so big it lags out intellij just opening the file

golden gust
#

so, gonna be interesting to see where this goes so that we can design the API, etc

#

I mean, mini

vernal moth
#

Other than telling everybody to use cloud I guess

golden gust
#

That's why I REALLY wanna replace the command API

quick obsidian
vernal moth
#

Because it's hard

golden gust
#

Oh, I have ideas

#
  1. Delete SimpleCommandManager
vernal moth
#

We need a middle ground between string[] and brigadier

quick obsidian
#

deprecate the existing spigot one and have a better one, i know CommandMap is a pain in the ass to work with

golden gust
#

Or, wait, SimpleCommandMap

quick obsidian
#

lmfao

golden gust
#

I mean, I have ideas, how to expose brig is gonna be the fun one

vernal moth
#

Brigadier is too complicated, string[] doesn't work anymore

golden gust
#

Brig is basically unavoidable, really

quick obsidian
#

generalize the command system into interfaces, deprecate the spigot impl and then add the paper one

#

didn't luck already make an api to use brig

golden gust
#

I wanna keep the existing PluginCommand, just throw that over to a greedy string or whatever

quick obsidian
#

PluginCommand sucks ass though

golden gust
#

create a new Command which basically wraps brig, which, idfk how that's gonna play out

#

PluginCommand would basically be the legacy wrapper magic

foggy silo
#

It should be mentioned that the server doesn’t sign the preview message, it still signs the raw player message. The player chat now sends the original message and the “unsigned” server component.

quick obsidian
#

yeah that's more or less what i would do, mark everything spigot does as legacy and then have an actually good api instead

vernal moth
#

We need to have the concept of arguments cat

#

Else signing doesn't work

golden gust
#

keep existing plugins working but generally, I do wanna encourage sane API more

foggy silo
#

^^

quick obsidian
#

there's a reason half of all spigot plugins (mine included) depend on external library plugins to have things not suck as much

#

yeah exactly

golden gust
#

Well, yea, which is why we're gonna need to expose more of brig

#

Not exposing brig at this point is stupid

vernal moth
#

I def want to encourage properly adding permissions too

#

I hate how people don't define perms at the command node

#

It's breaks so many things

brave mountain
#

that chat preview could broken command competition?

golden gust
#

Well, yea, hint: We can do that with new API

quick obsidian
#

i don't like how commands have to be specified in plugin.yml unless you reflect your way into commandmap

vernal moth
#

Am not advocating against new API cat, I agree we need something new, but I have no good plan for something good

foggy silo
#

Paper exposes command map iirc

golden gust
#

I mean, I don't really wanna, but, you can force that to be provided for the args for a new root node

brave mountain
#

but..

#

we have emojis or not?

golden gust
#

paper exposes the bukkit command map class which is arse

#

No, we don't have emoji

vernal moth
#

I would loooooove to force perms for every command

quick obsidian
vernal moth
#

Plugins can still default that perm to everyone

#

That would be so much nicer

quick obsidian
golden gust
#

Once again, emoji and formatting is just an example of things which servers do which requires the server to modify chat messages

brave mountain
#

I'm going to test it out

#

when is bedrock for free?

golden gust
#

I feel like crap but I may start looking at a command API replacement, even if I don't get the brig stuff nailed into the API I do wanna look at exposing it in some manner

#

yeet paper-mojangapi

foggy silo
#

The preview allows an unsigned portion to be sent with the players message that is controlled by the server.

quick obsidian
#

with 1.19 coming up it's the perfect opportunity to bring some big api changes with it

quasi cave
#

Has anyone tried to combine McMMO with Aurelium Skills? is it possible?

brave mountain
#

so i can send message to the console without sending a message

quick obsidian
golden gust
#

well, I can't break API because spigot still exists, shamefully

quick obsidian
#

yeah you can't break api compat, but you can deprecate the shit out of everything and abstract into interfaces

foggy silo
#

Oh this is interesting

#

The client can control wether or not to use raw player messages or the server formatted message.

golden gust
#

like, primary thing is that SimpleCommandMap just needs to go

still sorrel
quasi cave
# quick obsidian you can but why would you do that

I'm debating which one would be better to stick with the Vanilla experience, their both great but you're right mixing 2 great things doesn't always mean it's going to be the best experience, was just curious to see, McMMO is def maybe better then if sticking to the vanilla experience I guess, although I'm looking to make the server a vanilla experience with RPG elements

quick obsidian
#

since it isn't exposed in spigot you can blame plugin devs for reflecting into it?

#

you can create a new empty branch, however

haughty bear
#

yeah, I made an orphaned branch and have docusaurus on it. so I have .docusaurus in docs branch .gitignore, but whenever I checkout to main it has that .docusaurus which isn't .gitignore'd

#

and opposite issue the other way round - .gradle is ignored on main but not on docs

quick obsidian
#

could probably work with git submodules... somehow

golden gust
#

oh, yea, anything not tracked by git is just gonna be 100% ignored

quick obsidian
#

i do want to integrate my plugin docs with the source code for me

golden gust
#

adding it to gitignore will ofc ignore it, but, switching branches is gonna leave that stuff sitting around

#

probs best to just clone that branch out in another folder if you wanna keep it clean

#

best option is generally to just have a seperate repo for docs

quick obsidian
#

you could make some pain in the ass monorepo but that's probably gonna cause more problems than it solves

haughty bear
#

I'd rather not have a docs repo for every single project I have, though

#

I could have one docs repo for all of my projects?

toss them in a folder

that's what i do

do you build javadocs too?

I mean, the reality is is that people don't give a shit

#

if your OS isn't tryna spy on you 200 other things are

worthy geode
#

I prefer having a system that works out of the box, were I don't need to spend half of the time fiddling with stuff to get it working

worthy geode

Yeah, as long as you don't want to do something exotic like connecting bluetooth headphones

haughty bear
#

but, the spying argument is moot: your phone exists

Linux is great until shit goes sideways

#

and then you're either reinstalling your OS, or

#

step 1) open a terminal

worthy geode
#

Ubuntu on my laptop did not like that without replacing some bluetooth system thingy first

haughty bear
#

seems to be hit and miss then; I haven't had really any issues with a bluetooth headset

golden gust
#

bluetooth and linux is often kinda shakey as the bluetooth adapters themselves are kinda shit

golden gust
#

and then the userspace BT apps are kinda shit

haughty bear
#

oh boy

#

ubuntu bad

void void
#

ubuntu desktop*

worthy geode
#

As soon as it starts with "run this and that command" to do something that just works on Windows, thats a big no for me

#

Linux is great for servers, but anything else. big meh

void void
haughty bear
#

for development I really do quite like linux, package managers and terminal is nice

worthy geode
#

I still prefer Windows for my Desktop

haughty bear
#

and ricing obviously, my desktop looks quite nice

brave mountain
#

They changed their weird behavior in 22.04

haughty bear
#

but for everything else, windows just works

brave mountain
#

But I use fedora

golden gust
#

One day, there will be a linux mainliner who can accept that windows users for the most part can't care less about the OS they run or can't be fucked to invest the time into running a linux desktop

#

one day

void void
#

there i said it

brave mountain
#

Linux server != Linux desktop

cunning raft
#

so is macos

#

id recommend macos over a pure linux machine

worthy geode
smoky cloud
#

Isn't macOS based on an old BSD release?

cunning raft
#

whatever same idea

brave mountain
golden gust
#

android uses the linux kernel, yes; but the entire userspace is literally different

#

on locked down hardware which is vendor tested, etc

#

Like, android is literally the exact opposite of linux desktop

worthy geode
#

Like, its just user experience. If I want to install something on Windows, I either download and double click an .exe or use the store.
On linux systems, if you are lucky its running one command. If you are not, you need to add apt sources, download a .deb or similar file (and mark it as executable first) etc. its just way more complicated

haughty bear
#

linux can have the strangest issues. I couldn't get into my desktop once and hung on the login splash, because I had installed kwin-low-latency, and an update broke it

void void
#

oh sorry i forgot, windows has a package manager you don't have to go to a shady website and download shitty deb files or rpm files that might infect your computer with virus

haughty bear
#

if you have any experience with the internet you won't be getting a virus

cunning raft
#

no argument so change the subject

#

lolw

haughty bear
#

this isn't much of an argument, more of a rant

cunning raft
#

was talking to the other guy

#

not u

haughty bear
#

I'm aware, but I don't know if you can call it an argument if you change the topic every other message

worthy geode
# brave mountain At costs of security...

Of course, but the best security you would get by not connecting to the internet at all. But that would also result in the worst user experience when installing stuff kekw

golden gust
#

I mean, the security argument of trusted stuff only works when you stick to the main distros repos

haughty bear
golden gust
#

as soon as you get to anything like the AUR that argument goes out the window

brave mountain
#

Do you use 3rd party antivirus on windows?

worthy geode
#

no

golden gust
#

Nope

brave mountain
#

You are good

golden gust
#

I mean, I rarely use windows, but most AV software these days is useless

brave mountain
#

I use dual boot btw

void void
#

okay lets stop that more of a rant thing if you wanna use a toy os use windows if you want something that is better go linux that is it.

brave mountain
#

But in a two separate drives

void void
#

back to my main question: arch or fedora

worthy geode
#

At least you can play games with a Toy OS kekw

golden gust
#

depends on what you're doing

haughty bear
#

can gpu passthrough using a hypervisor bypass eac?

#

it seems like the best compromise between a dualboot and wine

void void
haughty bear
#

start sandstorm please

cunning raft
#

play a valorant match

worthy geode
#

play Star Citizen please

#

at least Apex now works, but just because Valve is pushing the steam deck

haughty bear
#

also; hades doesn't even run for me on linux, even though it's apparently got quite good support on linux (no native build though)

brave mountain
#

No experience = no arch

void void
golden gust
#

deflection

haughty bear
#

and that's not what the discussion is about at all

worthy geode
#

tbf, in case of Apex, "works" is a bit of an overstatement. Its quite laggy and you get weird mouse jumps

void void
#

steam deck is a win-win situation here

worthy geode
#

which you can probably fix by running five commands in terminal, but I can't be bothered to do that if I just want to play a game lol

i ran linux for a while and still have endeavouros dual booted with win 10 but just went back to win 10 for compatability

#

and idk why but i jsut prefer windows

haughty bear
#

I don't mind windows 11's new ui theme (shoot me)

golden gust
#

I used to main windows, but, then I needed stuff like word for college which was a PITA otherwise

worthy geode
#

also, personally, I never found a linux desktop that looked and felt good to me. That is very subjective of course, but that was my impression

golden gust
#

I mean, main linux

haughty bear
#

I quite like the centered taskbar and rounded edges

urban depot
#

i hate win 11. I had it for a long miserable time

worthy geode
#

also, the right-click menu sucks and that you need to change the registry to revert is annoying

haughty bear
golden gust
#

I got tired of tryna mess with the UI to make it look respectable, gnome 3 pissed me off, unity pissed me off even more; and this was before stuff like i3 seemed to be the latest hipster trend, etc

urban depot
#

I think the rounded edges make it harder for me to just push my mouse into the corner to press start becaause if they go too far they don't focus on start

Today I am going to show you how Microsoft used backwards compatibility as a tool to kill Windows. In this video I dive deep into Windows' ever growing layer issue. This is the first part of the series (Windows 10 → Windows 7)

Hello, my friends! Let's hit 10000 likes? Check out my website! https://malwat.ch
Today I am going to continue showing off Windows 11's shameful leftovers. That operating system is not as modern as you think it is. In fact, there are many 20 year old applications and references in it. This is the last part of the series (Windows Vista → MS-DOS)

and the animations feel very slow

golden gust

I mean, literally irrelevant

#

Literally 0 surprise that windows 11 is a basterdisation over 10

for the most part, it literally doesn't affect end users except people more involved with IT
