@sidthepajfuk Saying it like it's a bad thing...

@antigermanist Yeah black people used to live in africa. Now they mostly live in paris and london

@antigermanist I don't think you're black lol

If you were, you would probably be in france not belgium

@antigermanist Hard to love a culture when you're just a guest 🤷‍♂️

@antigermanist I would be funny if it wasn't so sad, that you unironically believe this shit. Funny because that's *exactly* why every communist country ends in death and misery. Because those people think like you

@antigermanist How come that every communist dictator has huge golden statues of themselves while the people starve to death? That's some blackrock and nestle behaviour

@antigermanist Socially the support all the same DEI and diversity politics cancer

Fiscally they are also greedy and selfish just like the far lefty dictator class

About as punk rock as far lefties. They have the same world view as BlackRock and the WEF

@iiii Bruh. That's definitely not how any of this works. "Just don't make mistakes bro"

Google, Microsoft and others have ~70% of their bugs due to memory unsafety. If you think it's so easy then you're enormously naive

True

We should just nuke malta, nothing goods coming out of there

@iiii "if you don't do stupid things" is kinda the point though. Because when a simple programming error can cause big problems, that's not a robust language

Btw I'm not hating on either. Sometimes you really do want manual memory management. But god damn do I like GCs

Wasted memory is true though. But I don't understand why that happens

Man, now I want to write a GC just for fun lol

@netikras Good point

@Demolishun I've had no issues with the proprietary drivers so far. Maybe apart from gamma not working in some games

@Demolishun Gaming on linux works surprisingly well. Like shockingly well

You just enable the compatibility tool in steam and it just runs. Even anti cheat just works unless the devs deliberately disabled it

The most you ever have to tinker is sometimes download a new version of your favorite flavor of proton

@iiii Nulls aren't a problem of automatic memory management. Newer languages like Kotlin also have null-safety

But for real, you can't tell me manual memory management is somehow more robust than a GC. That's absurd

@iiii GCs automatically prevent use after frees and double frees, so they can definitely help writing more robust software. But nulls are still a problem in many GCed langs

@retoor No no, I love GCs

To be fair, that's not far off from UEFI

@iiii It is if that's the games you want to play. Just off the top of my head, Apex legends, GTA Online, Battlefield, Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant are all massively popular games that don't run on linux

If it wasn't for game devs deliberately making their anti cheat incompatible, linux would be such a no brainer

@retoor Not really. C++ is less restrictive than Rust, but all the things Rust doesn't let you do are also things you *shouldn't* do in C++

The real issue is that robust programming without a GC is just hard. There are no easy solutions.... well except a GC. But you can't always have one

@CoreFusionX "How to collapse your entire software industry over night: 101"

@antigermanist Fair enough, you have stated to be radical multiple times in the past. Maybe I shouldn't judge lefties based in you

@antigermanist Honestly, please don't call yourself left wing

There are so many retards on the left, but you saying you're one of them is dragging down the whole movement

They might be retarded, but they deserve so much better than what you are

@antigermanist The fuck is actually wrong with you?

I swear, people touting themselves as "tolerant and inclusive" are the most disgusting, fucked up and violent people on this planet

Jesus fucking christ

@jestdotty That's a good point too

"officially" nobody got caught via Intel ME or similar.... but for what reason did the NSA/FBI/whatever even start investigate that person... maybe because they had a little more information than they should?

@antigermgerm Vanilla js is assembly for webshits

I don't know, it's still sketchy as hell

Why make all the docs confidential if they have nothing to hide? Same goes with secret processor features and instructions

Security by obscurity doesn't work and they surely know that

@antigermanist Corpos don't know that's why they use magical cure-all snake oil like react thinking it will solve all their problems. In reality they should actually just sit down and think about what functionality they need (hint: extremely little)
