1·2 days agoI think you’re the one who keeps thinking about what your friends recommended. They simply gave you an option and moved on. you on the other hand seem to have devolved into a crusade against an alternative choice in running your own OS.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the under discussed risks/horror stories of Ozempic and other GLP-1 medications?English
6·7 days agothere was a ChubbyEmu video about that recently.
it’s a way of doing things with programs that you don’t have to think about. moving your hand to the mouse, clicking or double clicking the window, dragging it to the appropriate corner and waiting for snapping to toggle are all too slow compared to a keyboard shortcut to open and tile left, right, bottom, or stacked in i3.
this mouse movement is even ambiguous on mac os which requires external apps to make the experience marginally above suck.
The main thing is you want to commit these actions to muscle memory to free up your conscious effort on whatever it is you are trying to focus on.
so i guess everybody is doing if via flakes now but can’t we just continue with the configuration.nix and home.nix split?

Programming@programming.dev•claimcheck: Narrowing the Gap between Proof and IntentEnglish
1·16 days agoit is quite terrifying that people think translating from formal constraints in math to informal english is either accurate or deterministic.
And they ask the LLM to not look at requirements but who is guaranteeing it won’t just hallucinate them out of thin air later when messy prompts inevitably trigger a butterfly effect?

Linux@programming.dev•Linux Still Working To Clean Up The Realtek RTL8723BS 802.11b/g/n WiFi Driver In 2026English
4·16 days agoSo I would like to know from experts working on Realtek or those who are following closely enough to understand the details what exactly does the “Big HAL layer” entail interms of so much refactoring?
From what I can understand it looks like most of the vendor released stuff is not inline to the design of the kernel and thus it works in a different manner than the rest of the kernel.
But then, why wouldn’t experts try to clean room implement the driver by mimicking the official driver?

Linux@programming.dev•Does anyone have a good suggestion for a markdown note organiser?English
2·17 days agoyeah thanks for the resources. I decided to just go through the manual.
And yeah, the older terms… I understand them as I am a crusty millenial and kind of like the charm of it.
my goal is to shift to emacs for work as I am drawn to the efficient notetaking + planner + dev environment with org mode.

3·18 days agoany quick way to learn emacs syntax for a long time vim user? I understand if you suggest evil mode but lets assume i actually want to learn the emacs motions.
I can go through the emacs manual but that is more of a longer term engagement.

Programming@programming.dev•What to do if i want to make games oneday, but im unsure where to start?English
31·22 days agojoin a game company as a junior. Hate every bit of it and then realize you’re better off doing something else.
Or skip all of that and pick something you are somewhat familiar with today.
If you’re still reading that means you want to continue on this treacherous path. Fine, fastest way to start i guess is playtesting but with companies asking customers to do that for them… the role is kind of lacking at the moment.
best you can do in your free time is start with trying out every aspect of game design upto a beginner level: learn basic coding in a specific language like python. learn to make simple text based adventures and fill-in-the-blank puzzles.

31·2 months ago“The most popular OSS is Linux, and it doesn’t run on economic incentives”
This example falls under the 1st monetization model. But I still think the Linux Foundation pays all the core maintainers of the kernel good salaries/grants.
Your argument is unfortunately diluted by your example. Hell I can’t come up with a good example that is not monetized well.
