Enables reproducible builds years later

If I had a dollar for every flake I’ve pulled from Github that didn’t build because of link rot, and $10 for every nixpkgs package that didn’t build because one of its dependencies had broken and it hadn’t been updated, I could afford to contribute to Nix full time

nah, that’s code that does something slightly different every time you run it. that’s a different beast.

ah sweet, code that does something slightly different every time i compile it

i can at least take solace in the fact that brain dead lemmings are 100% bark and 0% bite

I can’t see through the paywall either, but if it’s like any of the hundreds of other articles that have been written on this topic, the answer is probably TikTok

can somebody please remind me why i still have a lemmy account?

by that logic, every citizen of the united states is a fascist, because they could have been mobilizing and weren’t

Elon Musk tweeted “Imagine a new all-powerful woke AI”

i’m honestly not sure which belief is more brain-dead: that anything that is woke is bad, or that all-powerful AI is a credible threat

And “right wing” as defined by someone who calls anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders a fascist…

I’m not sure about Click’nLoad or Debrid, but aria2 does all the other things you just listed.

oh there are plenty such. kget, aria2, uget, and motrix off the top of my head. but people use jdownloader for the same reason they use windows – it’s what they know.

…why are we making a competitor to libreoffice

Huh. Neat feature. That’s in C# I assume?

The second one isn’t valid syntax in any programming language I’m familiar with. What does it do?

why would you call it anything other than the ternary operator

Kamala said she was going to look for a ceasefire. Trump told Netanyahu to hurry up and finish the job. Get off your high horse.

EDIT: wow the tankies are out in full force tonight

I cannot recommend Framework laptops enough. I recently got my hands on one and it’s the best laptop I’ve ever owned. It of course runs Linux like a dream. Everything works out of the box. No proprietary blobs needed for any of its hardware drivers, of course, plus the firmware for the embedded controller as well as the keyboard are open source and can be reflashed from the device (the keyboard firmware is even a fork of QMK). Its 165Hz 1440p 16:10 monitor being driven by a Radeon 7700S makes it one of the best laptop gaming experiences I’ve had, which is especially impressive considering it’s not marketed as a gaming laptop. Three hours battery life with the dGPU installed is the best I’ve seen out of a gaming laptop ever, and if you pull out the GPU and run off integrated graphics, the battery life doubles to a very respectable six hours for web browsing.

There’s also of course the obvious customization aspect. Don’t like which I/O ports are on the side? Swap in a different module! You don’t even have to reboot your computer. Want your trackpad to be centered or off to the side to make room for a numpad? Move it around! You don’t even have to reboot your computer. Who needs Nvidia Optimus when you can physically remove the GPU from the laptop, reducing power savings even more and making the laptop several pounds lighter to boot? (You do have to shut down to do that, and swapping it out takes around five minutes, but still.)

I know this post sounds like it was sponsored but it wasn’t. I just really love this thing ^-^

I’m sure the trans people whose lives are now in danger will sleep much better tonight knowing that the blood of those Palestinian children who are going to continue dying because Donald Trump has promised not to even try for a ceasefire isn’t on your hands, because you didn’t vote for Kamala Harris.

I hope you’re fucking happy.

so like the autopilot in Elite Dangerous. will it get you there? sure. will it get you there fast? …not exactly.

…either an empty string, a single character, or the same sequence of characters repeated more than once?
