I liked this discussion. However, I think both of you have different axioms. It's a pro-socialism vs pro-capitalism debate.
In capitalism, we need innovation to create new value. Or you can pollute water to sell water bottles which will have value now. It's up to citizens to decide what to restrict that was publicly available or what to innovate.
In socialism, the innovation is only happening where it needs to happen carefully planned and funded by the government.
I'm rather socialist, so I'd defend it:
Having a software with inability to modify is injustice, It's the same as polluting a water to sell it. Even if we need to pollute the water to sell it, it doesn't justify pollution.

You can't make a law for everything evil that corporations do. Social democracy is flawed inherently. We need direct decision power of people in those firms. Never gonna happen though.

I recently installed Nix alongside with Arch. I feel the same. After years of using Arch I spent two days to get everything configured the same as in my Arch, and I haven't finished it yet.

yeah I'm a fucking idiot because I thought wrongly the redis' language...
fxdave 2 months ago • 37%
I use rust only if we need performance, for small services. The industry does the same. People use node for backend but e.g. redis is in rust. It's a good tool if you use it for the right stuff.
EDIT: redis is not in rust, but e.g. aws writes many services in rust

Our views can be compatible. Endless os is quite limited right now, but if flathub would have xampp, for example, that would be easily the simplest way to run a webserver. However, every techy person prefers docker, me too. It's just not something that my mother can deal with. In general, linux is lacking these mother compatible apps where we have more advanced solution. Of course, I wouldn't recommend endless and others in the category if the goal is to run a webserver.
fxdave 3 months ago • 50%
None of them good for non techy people. I wouldn't recommend mint. Gnome is the most friendly DE with pleasing defaults. There are many immutable flatpak distros coming with gnome. e.g.: Endless os which is pre installed on some asus laptops instead of Ubuntu for reason.

By the way, I am an apple hater because I tried apple after years of using Linux and it was a true mess. Here's a story: I had to make an app building CICD pipeline and guess what? We had to run a macbook as a server because they fucking cannot share at least a VM for building. A CLI command brought up a GUI confirmation. How should I automate something that brings up a GUI. Garbage. Package management is horrible. Command line utilities was outdated. Case insensitive filesystem. Then Ruby...
And it's not enough that they are shit, but they are actively holding back innovation. They held back PWAs for example. And they shit on open-source. They are the definition of vendor lock-in.
They look good though.

It works between android and any linux distro through kde connect. It let's me do more than just clipboard sharing. e.g.: I could remote control my laser engraver through it.

Vertical integration and progressive company are good for Apple but for the consumer they are irrelevant I think.
Security is ok, privacy must be a joke, siri is listening, just like google. You have to be logged in to install an app from the store etc...

Thanks for the question. GraphQL works with multiple languages, Cuple works only with Typescript. Despite this drawback this also gives you some advantages:
- The Request and Response types are auto-inferred from the endpoint you write
- Because the types are in Typescript you don't need to generate a client, you just simply use it with @cuple/client and get instant feedback.
- You don't have to learn another language. It's just typescript.
Practically it means less boilerplate and it let's you focus on the feature you write. Cuple is also not a query language, you get what the server sends you, it's more likely a type-safe FFI binding. With Cuple you can build a REST API, or anything similar to that with HTTP method, header, path, query, body, and you can use it type-safely.
Hey, I'm not a fan of advertising libraries, but otherwise, nobody will know them. I think this package is really spot on and solves many issues with current web technologies. I'd like to continue this project. If you found it interesting please give some feedback.

I deleted /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.
I did it because valgrind had a problem with it. I thought I can fix it with reinstalling the package. I tried to lookup which package is it from, but the command I used was wrong and I didn't get any result. So I thought, what if I created it, maybe I just forgot it.
the moment I deleted it everything stopped working. It was fixable only from a pendrive.

That's fair. Typescript has to cook with the existing js ecosystem.

I would imagine it as lemmy. It would be a free, ethical software which is indirectly funded by the government. Everybody uses facebook so that's a good reason to turn it into a public property. We could make it without anti-features. Made for people, not for profit.

Afaik, most phones are backdoored that can be abused using tools like "pegasus" which led to a huge indignation in Hungary. I don't belive PCs are exceptions. Intel ME is a proprietary software inside the CPU, often considered as a backdoor in Intel. AMD isn't an exception. It's even weirder that Intel produces chips with ME disabled for governments only.

Thanks, I forgot to mention but that's what I do now. My problem with this is that I would like to make a plugin that makes sense only for me and not for the other users. I could maintain my personal fork though.
I have a plugin trait that includes some heavy types that would be almost impossible to wrap into a single API. It looks like this: ```rust pub struct PluginContext<'a> { pub query: &'a mut String, pub gl_window: &'a GlutinWindowContext, flow: PluginFlowControl, pub egui_ctx: &'a Context, disable_cursor: bool, error: Option<String>, } pub trait Plugin { fn configure(&mut self, builder: ConfigBuilder) -> Result<ConfigBuilder, ConfigError> { Ok(builder) } fn search(&mut self, ui: &mut Ui, ctx: &mut PluginContext<'_>); fn before_search(&mut self, _ctx: &mut PluginContext<'_>) {} } ``` Here is what I considered: 1. Keeping all plugins in-repo. This is what I do now, however I'd like to make a plugin that would just pollute the repository. So I need another option that would keep the plugins' freedom as it is right now, but with the possibility to move the plugin out to a separate repository. 2. I tried to look into dynamic loading, and since rust doesn't have a stable ABI, I'm okay with restricting the rust versions for the plugin ecosystem. However, I don't think it's possible to compile this complex API into a dynamic lib and load it safely. 3. I'm also ok with recompiling the app every time I need a new plugin, but I would like to load these plugins automatically, so I don't want to change the code every time I need a new plugin. For example, I imagine loading all plugins from a folder. Unfortunately, I didn't find an easy solution for this neither. I think I will write a build macro that checks the `~/.config/myapp/plugins` and include all of them into the repo. Do you have any better ideas, suggestions? Thanks in advance. (For context, this the app I'm writing about: https://github.com/fxdave/vonal-rust)

Using your own device is good and comfortable. I always hated companies that wants to force windows laptop or macbook on me. I suggest compell them for their tech choice or consider leaving that company and searching for a better one that supports libre software. I know it's hard but there are some areas like web development, which usually lets you use linux.

I bought pads as well but the original ones didn't break. I wanted to replace them with my new one, however i found the new one is more stiff while the original is soft that components can sink into it. I didn't know that it's a thing. So i kept the original. (If anybody is interested there were 0.5mm and 1mm pads on the cooler.)
Hey everyone, Just wanted to share my recent experience with gaming on my laptop. While playing CS:GO was manageable, CS2 was a different story. My laptop kept hitting thermal limits, causing frustrating performance drops. So, I decided to do it myself and repaste it. I wrote a simple script to monitor my temperatures and frequencies: [thermalog script](https://github.com/fxdave/thermalog/). The results speak for themselves: [thermalog results](https://ibb.co/CMBVdxx). I wasn't even near to thermal limit even when I played in 2K instead of FHD. I used Arctic MX-6. (I bought liquid metal also as a backup plan, but luckily I don't need it). I'm more than happy with the results. My laptop is four years old, I highly recommend giving it a go if you're facing similar thermal issues. Happy gaming!

Honestly, I don't get it.
Is it about the syntax sugar? Would you like to use callbacks instead?
Async programming is when you achive concurrency even with one thread. It's needed. There's no alternative to this.

Some distros do not include all supported device firmware in the base system. You have to determine your wifi adapeter and install the firmware for it. You may want to use usb tethering from your phone for that.

It's like killing yourself because in physics they teach v=s/t instead of v=ds/dt. Cruelty. Clearly, v=s/t doesn't work.

I made a home inventory management software, because I don't have much space in my flat, so I track every single piece of the compressed pile of boxes; with qr codes on them.
It's a very simple app but you should have a printer to print qr codes for the boxes.
The documentation lacks some detail, so ask anything about it, if you want to try it.
