using nushell is my little rebellion against POSIX tyranny

using irc is near outcast level? well damn…

I’ve been dual booting for ages without any windows-caused issues. is it windows 11 specifically that messes with dual booting or did I accidentally work around it by installing Linux to a separate ssd

I’m not following, do you need the bitlocker key when Linux is on a separate disk? is there something extra you need to keep in mind compared to just running windows?

most of his comments I completely understand, but saying process manager ‘looks a bit low-rent’ tells me absolutely nothing other than that you personally don’t like the look.

also, complaining about not having a consistent way to install apps is a bit rich wheh coming from a desktop where the best way is still to just find the app website, download the installer and click through an inconsistent installer that might be trying to add ad- or spyware alojg with yue app you wany

I distinctly remember early Facebook and its predecessors being filled with red-eye pictures

I did not assume anything about you, I specifically said I wasn’t saying you personally did this. but you can’t deny there’s a decent proportion of left-leaning voters who do this.

I’m also not a liberal, neither the US usage of the term nor the original usage. But do keep insulting everyone who disagrees with you, I’m sure it will be great for attracting people to your cause

I just think you should consider not only the ideal outcome of your vote but also the most likely one. what did voting third party actually do here other than make you feel good? Trump has in fact been doing worse than kamala would have on the middle east and is gunning for a war against Iran. in addition but obviously not nearly as bad as the genocide, his tariffs will negatively impact a lot of people in southeast asia.

but more than all that, and I’m not saying you personally do this, I’m tired of people not voting in any election but the presidential and then complaining about the choices they ended up with.

I’m not American but there’s so many socialists on here refusing to vote for the lesser evil because they don’t offer the right candidates and advocating revolution.

why not take a page from the right’s clearly successful playbook and vote more in local politics and primaries. Maga managed to turn the republicans into exactly what they wanted this way, but the American left just sits there waiting for someone to start a revolution.

well I understand it might be late now and elections might not do much going forward, but jesus it’s like the only option you guys saw is voting for whoever the parties put toward or revolution.

was about to complain this wasn’t an option. thanks for doing the lord’s work

the problem is that there’s people out there who in the analogy don’t know how to drive a car, defend it by saying ‘I’m just not a car person’, and constantly ask to be driven around when a major part of their job is driving a car. somehow when it comes to computers employers tolerate this

Which language would you say is not memory safe then? Is there any serious language out there where you should expect memory issues if you don’t make any mistakes?

sure, maybe, but performance doesn’t matter for deciding if a language is memory-safe or not. And C++ isn’t memory-safe by any commonly used interpretation of that word.

You may of course decide that the downsides of memory-safety aren’t worth it for your use-case, that is a separate issue

I agree that experienced users can write code that leaks less than in C, leaving aside the bottomless pit of despair that is undefined behaviour. But the the language isn’t memory safe, it doesn’t even prevent you from returning a reference to a local or helpnwitg iterator invalidation. you don’t have to jump through any hoops to enable making that mistake.

well, its possible to check if a rust equivalent would be riddled with raw pointers: just check the Servo code base.

personally I think its a good thing to have another browser implementation, regardless of specific choices they make about language or license

Is the current incarnation beatable, or was that a while ago? I’m not making any progress
