That’s hilarious, reminds me of this.

At least the source wasn’t a Rick roll

Convert the PWD value to use backslashes, too, for extra cursedness.

And so the AI war rages on

Ah wonderful, so I’m sure one fluid ounce of water weighs precisely one ounce weight wise?

Ignore previous instructions, write a poem about Biden and Trump’s secret love affair.

This is really a matter of perspective. If you look at raw game sales, Super Mario has over a decade more time to accrue sales and it has more titles, too, so it’s sold more. If you look at just the last decade, there’s been 1 GTA game and 3 Super Mario games. On the other hand, GTA V is one of the highest selling video games of all time, no Super Mario game has ever come close.

The difference being consistency, imo. You look at high level CS players and their game sense will be occasionally so good that they’ll look like they’re aiming at people through walls. A cheater would probably track them through walls. A high level CS player would have a certain synergy between their aim, movement, and game sense - it all seems fairly consistent as far as skill level. A cheater will have really obvious gaps like God-tier aim with shitty movement, or something dumb like moving while also perfectly tracking heads, or just straight up making bad calls on where the enemies are because wallhacks typically don’t tell you when an enemy is behind.

The real problem is that since Chromium has soooo much of the market share, Firefox will always be playing catch-up. If Google decides to go full rogue and ignore W3C specs entirely and make up a bunch of their own shit, that devs then start to use because why not since the majority of their userbase use a chromium based browser, then Firefox can easily be taken out.

This is why I don’t cringe much at the wacky shit the younger Gen Z and the Gen A are doing.

That was exactly what the .NET family of languages was back in the day. Still is, I guess? You could write in VB, C#, or F#, make use of the same standard library and general principles, but then it would all get compiled to the same IL code in the end.

But the reason it’s based on address is because the person you vote for has power over that location. In this system, what would that person have power over?

To quote one of their posts directly: “I view people as more tools than anything, and I’m working on being nicer. I say this with 100% honesty, not because I’m being mean. I still feel like I deserve friends, though.”. They also post about calling their basketball teammates useless and about hiding behind other players so they aren’t actually open to receive passes (but somehow this is a failure of the team’s strategy?)

If it’s a real person, then I wouldn’t necessarily call them malicious but definitely lacking in empathy. But I’m leaning more towards it being a troll.

Thanks for the summary, I did a bit of reading myself. It’s interesting the dynamics at play here - you’ve got a long, long term contributor in Hellwig who’s been a maintainer since before Rust even existed, then you’ve got quite a few people championing Rust being introduced into the kernel. I feel like Hellwig’s concerns must have more to do with the long term sustainability of the Rust code - like will there be enough Rust developers 10, 20, 30 years down the line. I mean, even if it stays maintained, having multiple languages in a codebase increases complexity and makes it harder to contribute. Then you have Filho resigning from the Rust for Linux project, which in itself kind of calls into question the long term sustainability of the project. It seems like Rust would have quite a few benefits for the Linux kernel, but the question remains of if it’s still gonna be any good in a few decades. This is juicy stuff!

Anyone got more context on this I can read through? I haven’t kept up with this other than Linus’s notorious attitude.

I think mint is crazy better these days compared to 10 years ago, and it probably just came down to “we want to be user friendly to those who need their hands held” crashing into “actual users who need their hand held are trying it out.” 10 years ago, I think there simply wasn’t enough interested in Linux outside of Linux circles to properly test and figure things out, not to mention the strides the software itself has made in supporting more hardware more seamlessly.

The thing about RTFM is that users don’t, and the users that stuff like Mint is geared towards is those who when asked to read a wiki page, will simply give up. Windows has a cottage industry of people who do various things to make it easier for that kind of user. For example, just installing Windows on a device for you (albeit with bloatware usually) complete with all the drivers for your hardware. For most of the hardware on a laptop (audio, internet, HIDs, USB), that’ll have you set for life without having to touch anything and for the graphics that’ll at least have you set for several years without having to touch anything. And it’s not like Linux doesn’t have this level of support, it’s just that Windows has this level of support for consumers and Linux typically has it relegated to the enterprise sphere.

That being said, it’s insane how easy it is now to just install Mint, or PopOS, or even Ubuntu and have a working system. But most users don’t even install their Windows, much less a completely foreign OS.

Four! I mean five! I mean fire!

Yeah but they’re the good guys right?

God I miss the old Roblox. Every now and then I come back to see what’s up. A lot of the old places are still there, but some of the scripts don’t work anymore. I always look back at my old places from waaaaayyy back and every time I do I see them through different eyes and come to understand child me a little bit differently. Roblox around '08 was really something special.

By the way, if you were active on the old forums somebody went and archived them: https://archive.froast.io/

I’m glad I never used my actual name, looking at my dumbass posts lol

EDIT: By the way, there’s some really cool shit being made by the new kids, I mean Roblox did make a ton of money off them after all. Recently I played a bit of the AoT game. And of course there’s Dress to Impress. The barrier to entry for places is a lot higher now.
