Linux@lemmy.ml•Rust Coreutils cp Ended Up Breaking Ubuntu Image Builds With Latest Incompatibility
15·1 month agocp of all things
cp might sound simple because its a very necessary thing for an OS to do, but there’s quite some technical depth to each of the core utils, if it were simple people would just be pumping out coreutil practice projects just like they do with “generic CRUD web app 5000”

Gaming@lemmy.ml•Do you have a favorite game, like #1 favorite that no game can beat? If yes, which one?

I got a tower stand, the bottom of the tower had completely filled with dust and there was no airflow from there, the wheels are also very convenient for cleaning under there.
I also cleaned the dust inside and re-applied new thermal paste, neither of which I had done for quite a while, and it already improved my temps by a lot, about 20 celsius cooler max for both the cpu and gpu.
Here are the temps after a gaming session:

It’s a desktop on the floor under my desk, so there could definitely be some intake airflow problem there. It would be extremely impractical to bring it out, but maybe a human fan would help with that.

It’s the first thing I’m going to do, have to wait a bit until the paste arrives

3·2 months agoWould be nice if more people at work cared enough about the quality to be subtractive engineers, but the more & faster = better mentality, that is also made worse by the fact that the management is literally ordering for token maxxing, doesn’t help at all with it.
I was looking for the obligatory ‘I use a tiling WM btw’ comment but it seems that everyone is touching grass here

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?
3·3 months agoFor use cases like that it’s usually better to search a pattern and split it to cursors. Also using line selects helps.
I remember being annoyed at what you said but I guess I was overusing C for new cursors when there were other ways to do what I needed because I don’t have that often now

6·3 months agoI used to use Neovim but now I mainly use Helix, it’s really good by default, the most hassle is usually just looking up an LSP for a language and installing it.
My config file literally only has the theme I use, unlike the heavy configs I’d have to make so that vim/nvim are the way I want. I also like the multiple cursor approach it has to editing.
Depends what your threat model is, if you absolutely want no data about you whatsoever possibly leaving the device because it endangers you then Tails OS is probably the most private distro out there as others have mentioned, but it’s use case is specifically to be used for very private stuff and working through a live USB stick so that nothing remains on the device.
For the average person any distro is a huge improvement privacy wise over Windows, though Ubuntu does have ties to Amazon since it’s owned by Canonical, so if there’s any Linux distro you should avoid for privacy reasons it’s Ubuntu. It’s still incomparably private relative to Windows, but you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by choosing other alternatives, Mint is just as easy and user friendly as Ubuntu without most of the bloat and Amazon crap.
GTA was never an RPG, it’s an action game with shooting and driving things.
It really can’t be compared to Cyberpunk which is really focused in the RPG elements, making choices in every single sidequest out there, making your own character build with skill trees, items, body mods etc.
They’re completely different genres, which is also why so many people got infuriated when Cyberpunk came out because it was not the Next GTA™ game they were expecting, even though Cyberpunk never really marketed to be like that.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•I predict by the year 2000, 99% of all Assembly will be written by compilers
4·4 months agoIt’s not the form that’s the issue. It’s the required depth of that thought, when you are actually doing the work yourself you need to go all the way in your thinking otherwise it simply won’t work. When you’re vibe coding, your thinking only goes as far as you see necessary so the AI has enough context to give something useful in return. It’s like comparing the thought process of an analyst and of the engineer that implements the spec, any engineer knows that difference.
