I bet there are things you can criticise Canada for, but I know none from the top of my head. That’s pretty damn good in my books

Yeah, I mean, fair enough, fuck Merz. If I’m to shame hom, I won’t shame him for being right for once tho

What a strange sentiment in the comments. If anyone underestimates the gravity of the situation, it’s people who call for cutting all ties with the US immediately. Trying to stay on good terms with the US while becoming more independent ASAP is basically the only option we have at all.

I skip articles where the headline contains "slams’ at this point

For me, launching the game via GOG Galaxy in Wine caused issues. When I launched it standalone, everything was fine

Sounds like you’re well into tariff territory. What do you export? I will make you change that opinion.

You can copy-paste commands tho. Writing a concuse GUI tutorial is more work. Whether I want to do that depends a lot on who that work is for

PSA: GitHub does not have a monopoly, you are free to host your stuff elsewhere (or yourself)

Say it with me: It’s not vibe coding if you read and understand the code.

That is not vibes, that is knowing what you’re doing and working based off of a suggestion.

Man, if this was about open-sourcing, it might have seriously improved security…

Honestly, if I could buy the reign over my country with a medal, I would try

I recently noticed that the logging framework I use does not limit the log’s length. I don’t know how exactly I filled the memory so quickly, but I did

And it should be stressed that it is not at all clear who is behind said group - we basically know about this group what they have told us. That’s it

Off with your confusion of democracy and invasion

I’m pretty sure you can develop nukes without having your people starve or freeze to death and cutting yourself off of the world entirely, but sure, hail to the king baby

Even if they did, if buying weapons from Russia or China was a crime worth of invasion, the US would need to Invade India and Turkey for example.

I mean, Rust has the massive upsite that it won’t compile in many cases if you fuck things up. Then again, embedded or generally low-level driver-y stuff is still in its infancy in Rust. Relative to C/C++ that is.

There is stuff that you need that has no official Rust support. There is poor documentation and half baked frameworks. There are examples being silently outdated, breaking changes between framework versions, and nighlty-versions from Github mixed in to fix them. And then of course plenty of timing and hardware dependent things you will need to do yourself.

I do this for a living and personally tried to use AI here and there to help me out, but oftentimes it fails miserably. Not always, but very often.

Why can’t they stop users from downloading Chrome by suggesting Firefox 😔

I mean, can’t really tell while FEX has not been extensively tested, can we?

Valve has a great track record with (their contributuons too and use of) Wine, the devs are extremely competent and have been on this for ages, and Valve had any freedom to not choose an ARM chip, as low-power AMD alternatives became viable.

Can you go lower-power with ARM? Probably, but according to Valve it comes with a 10-20% performance hit for x86 Games at the moment. That means efficency takes a hit as well, whereas I would assume for 20% you are as efficient as an x86 chip at best.

My guess is that Valve isn’t doing this to chase some efficiency, but for strategic reasons. They are growing independent from Microsoft, now they want to get independent from the oligopoly that is x86 as well. One thing we cannot forget in this discussion is that ARM is likely much cheaper to get, with much more vendors available, and custom designs being quite common.

Maybe we will see custom ARM hardware with FEX acceleration from/for Valve and suddenly the overhead is almost gone.

Fair, but also: Whatsapp and Instagram are involved too
