Speak for yourself. I am preparing for a high school camp on Monday and all our sound system isn’t working. Stupid proprietary crappy sound boards.

This is why i went to Linux. This stuff needs to stop.

I’ve never used a VPN with it.

Correct but she does ensure they are legit last i read.

Most of the time i get them from specific trusted sources. Then i hash them to make sure they are still the same file the author says it is. Like johncena cracks or similar.

Many games I try out as pirated and then buy them after I know I enjoy them. Sometimes I don’t enjoy them and then I’m glad I didn’t spend $60.

But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn’t. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

Emacs can do that obviously. And everything else.

Correct. Always provide wrong answer. No one can withstand someone being wrong on the internet.

I think he means nvk. It’s a whole new world. I thought I just heard it’s ready. So worth checking out I guess.

Yea, the whole thing has always given me a lot of pause when I comes to GOS. I’m sure it’s still an awesome solution, but makes me think twice. In the end I have literally zero need or desire for anything Google running on my phone so I’m on calyx.

Been remodeling a house that we just bought and this has been a my experience as well. I just enjoy making things. Software, home automations, wood, anything. The joy of building. I think that’s what it is.

Everything is declared, from packages to configuration, and then I can put it in a git repo locked to versions. If something breaks on updates, you have free rollbacks. Which means you can’t screw up too much. Also it has almost all the software.

NixOS

Id suggest rust, gets you a step closer to the hardware and a bit of a different paradigm than Java while still feeling high level.

Hmmm… Nice!

Also, it feels so awesome to build the backbend in rust and the ui in QML.

I have been building a Qt/KDE app in rust using that CXX-QT binding. It’s pretty good, but definitely more of a headache to work through the binding than just directly with C++. That being said, I don’t feel like I’m about to shoot myself in the foot with rust. Rust just protects and advises the best paths forward. Once KDAB solidifies the binding and perhaps makes it easy for others to create their own extra bindings, (which they don’t want to maintain every class in QT so this is necessary) it’ll be amazing.

Tell me your a developer without telling me you’re a developer

While that’s true, all the things they built are individual and open source, it wouldn’t take too much work for sometime who knows how to package things up for a phone app. That said, you’d need another device to do all the processing.
