Hey, when I'm feeling depressed, I just stop having sad thoughts (and reduce the part of brain network responsible for this), why can't you? 😬

Swatch has this Touch line — they look really cool for plastic watches. They come in lots of different colours and I have several of them! 🤩
I think they've made a newer edition, those are bigger and have "sports" features — those don't look as cool IMO.
But I'm also a Casio DW5600 enjoyer, so maybe that's not your thing 😅

@kirby @asa
Imagine Razer pitching their products to the top management of software development companies, claiming their code monkeys would be able to produce more lines of code. And all that without being evidently ironic.
That would be insanely funny 🤣

@kirby @asa
Congratulations you now hold the competitive advantage — you can now crank out patches for Blemora at an astounding rate! 😂

@kirby
Both my Deathadder Chroma and Deathadder Elite started having scroll wheel, or rather third mouse button issues, in just a couple of years — so I can attest, it's not about $20.
My Deathadder 3.5G still works — they obviously have quality control issues with their newer stuff 😩

Oh, isn't it that keyboard that was using optical switches, is it any good? 🤔

@susie
Why go into all the trouble to install an update no one really wants? 🤔
To my knowledge, there isn't a single thing that runs on Windows 11, but isn't compatible with Windows 10. Or am I wrong about that?
I suspect that latest release of Visual Studio might be like that, but not some software that a lot of people might want.

@zaitcev
It got adopted because of licensing issues. Also, if by crushing you indeed mean getting wider adoption, all of them got "crushed" by Windows 95 in the nineties — it must be technically superior, we should definitely all switch to that!
Nice way of thinking, good luck with it 😜

The foster kittens are getting a health check today and will probably "graduate" into being spayed/neutered and put up for adoption.

We started with 7, lost 2 to parvo, were told the other 5 had little chance.

All 5 are now happy healthy and bouncing off the walls!

I will miss the hell out of the little buggers but I think they have been given a good start and will make their adopters very very happy!

This science is probably outdated already 😏

…но где-то там, по ту сторону занавеса, может быть интересный человек, который — так исторически сложилось, завёл учётную запись на том сервере, обжился, и не хочет постоянно переезжать — и пообщаться друг с другом не сможете вы, а не два админа-дурака 🤷

@Worst @PseudoCube @Sarotar @wonderfox
Советую также тэг MutualAid сразу в профиль добавить — Mint вроде тоже очень «уважает» 😂
На самом деле ничего хорошего в том, чтобы сидеть на заблокированном всеми сервере тоже нет — если вы конечно не мамкин циник-мизантроп.
Потому что с одной стороны админ-дурак с синдромом вахтёра, а с другой стороны админ-дурак, который намеренно любит всех провоцировать почём зря, или привечает личностей, которые так делают…

@wonderfox @PseudoCube @Worst @Sarotar
Действуй на опережение — доводи админа тем, что заводишь учётку, будучи тем, кого он не любит 😈

@icon_of_computational_sin
Rust doesn't allow using static variables — that's a lie: it does! And compatibility with C code is even mentioned as primary use case in the docs. It doesn't make it easy? That's right — it's against its design goals: eliminating potentially unsafe code where it's possible. So what is even your point?

@icon_of_computational_sin
Still not enough, wanna do it real cowboy style like they did in the good old days with C? Then surely, using the "unsafe" keyword to make that pesky compiler shut the fuck up won't be a problem! It gives you choice — write safe code and optimise just the parts that are critical by resorting to potentially unsafe code, that's good, right?

@icon_of_computational_sin
Rust gives you an option to not think about it — like at all: you can have a bottle of vodka in you and just rely on the data types that are being copied — the compiler would tell you to go home and get some sleep if you attempt real silly shit. Slow, takes lots of resources? Well, you can work on that when and if you have time. Want to use mutex in your multi-threaded code? Try one of those Arc<Mutex<T>> ones, they are guaranteed to be atomic, therefore thread-safe.

@icon_of_computational_sin
Yeah, mutices — everyone loves them and uses them. Except for that one time when you were in a hurry (or haven't slept well, which one was it?🤔) and you didn't! Forgot about one in a critical piece of code and it became a bug. But as it only occurs once a year, it wasn't discovered during the initial testing, this code made its way into running on an controller responsible for an air supply of an underwater facility… Aa-argh! People die! Guts and blood everywhere!😱

@romin @j
Unlike Asahi Linux — a project that is completely pointless IMO as it boils down to making modern Linux system work on hardware that isn't open quite on purpose, this actually looks interesting. If they make this work even on a limited set of hardware, it would be great! But again, it only currently works on x86(_64) and ARM 🤷
