@AvatarOfKaine ok fine, I'm gonna go there: DETAILS PLEASE
Seriously, details. You look like you snorted a mix of cocaine and meth, so why don't you actually give some details about wrf you're going on about for once? Otherwise you look like a nut job -
@mansur85 so is the NSA
-
Good Javadoc / method spec / whatever you call them, accessible through the IDE.
Describe functions and classes, explain the caveats etc. -
@b2plane quit the whining already, some people are very privileged, some are born in a setting where they have. 80% chance of starving to death before they are 7 years old. Some people have it easier than others. Deal with the hand you were given, nothing else to be done
-
@TheCommoner282 not true. Bodies cool because they emit heat through heat radiation, without heat intake (like on the earth). Liquids cool down for the same reason, but at the same time the evaporation temperature is very low due to no pressure (vacuum), meaning water boils and freezes at the same time.
Net effects; things cool down, they don't keep their temperature due to "isolation" -
Practice
-
@PAKA fair enough
-
Car insurance is usually mandatory, mind if I ask where you live? Simple curiosity
-
Ok so you're either an extremely cynical person or a communist

@iiii deleting his account must have been the only way to escape AoK's madness
-
@scor how interesting, all posts by @qword in this thread have been deleted. I wonder how his account disappeared
-
The fuck has he been snorting
-
@iiii malloc and friends and the broader libc are available to C++ code.
-
@iiii so?
-
Having malloc zero initialise stuff wouldn't add anything, there is already calloc which _does_ zero initialise heap allocations
-
Websites become more bloated every day. All that crap in the background, from trackers to ads eat up a lot of resources. Keep several tabs open and you have that crap running constantly. Add the spyware from a proprietary browser and OS and your memory will be gobbled up
-
@Ohiorenua no it's a protocol, many apps/programs implement it
-
@hjk101 not every app supports Wayland though. Especially proprietary stuff like zoom sucks on it. Obviously that's not Wayland's fault, but it does mean that we are not ready to throw out X yet
-
@Oktokolo well, using the mouse partially defies the concept... There are two ways to reach a middle ground. Either a non-tiling window manager (though also not a desktop environment) such as openbox, which allows for an efficient mouse-based workflow... Or the other way around, a full blown desktop env. such as GNOME and KDE with tiling enabled. GNOME has an extension for this, KDE idk if tiling comes out of the box or needs an extension. Have you tried any of these and if yes what do you think about them? I don't use any of these setups but am interested in opinions.
-
@Oktokolo you're correct, though many people drop the "tiling" in "tiling window managers", the latter probably being what op means
-
@C0D4 i don't see any ads, maybe I disabled them somehow? I'm not using any ad blockers
-
Have you tried fetching/pulling via cli?
-
@NoToJavaScript so you are correct I think when you say that there is no unified documentation and you have to read up on different sources. The exception is the arch wiki, which actually provides information on essentially anything Linux-related if you are willing to go find it, including tutorials.
You are also correct about the click a couple times on windows aspect, while on Linux you need to run a several commands (which you hopefully read up on in advance!). This most certainly makes it more complicated to less experienced users and guards the doors to the kingdom in the sense that new users can't comfortably use these tools. Unless there are GUI wrappers.
In my experience, gparted has actually always worked very well as a wrapper for fdisk, fstab and family. -
Most actions on Linux actually don't require rebooting. Basically only kernel updates do, and maybe systemd. Unlike windows, I should add.
As always, many problems can be avoided by reading the documentation. If you don't and mess up, you should blame yourself. -
@spongessuck and stops further crime
-
@spongessuck being in prison does.

Expand?

@ElectroArchiver so the thing is, in the case of the guy who stole NSA secrets, the information was already digital, and he printed it out. Had it not been digital, it would have been in some kind of paper archive. Usually they check what you bring in/out of there, can't carry your phone in so you can't take pictures etc. Obviously that is no longer practicable today as information grows so fast and needs to be searchable, making paper archives way too inefficient. It's still indisputable though that they are more secure: if you want to go in, you have to physically go in, can't do that from behind 45 proxy connections.

@ess3sq @nitwhiz Lots of AAA titles have become or are becoming available, check out protondb

@nitwhiz yes I was, GTA V with Proton/Steamplay
