When I learnt programming (back in early 2000s) the textbook said C is a high level 3rd generation language with 4th gen languages being something higher (I don’t remember what examples were given specifically). This is back when the java applets and action script for flash were the hot things. How I miss the days without the world being cursed by JS.

Yeah… I love them. Makes my != look like ≠

Thank you all for the valuable insight. I can’t reply to everybody individually so I am replying as a collective. From what I can surmise, basically, the state becomes the sort of mega Corp that capitalism inevitably breeds and data mining becomes legal as you are the law and data mining is necessary to hold power and prevent further revolutions.

It makes me wonder, how do new economic models come to be? Does it always have to be Einsteinian, that one man is a genius, or can economics do collective progress like modern science. Obviously economics has more artificial hurdles to overcome, but we should have something better by now when we know that both systems suck. I don’t know, I am just a random guy on the internet

BTW, correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that the root cause of these problems is one human having enough power to decide life and death of another human. Like maybe due to our origin by subjugation of other species, but people holding power over other people is creating a huge crap fest. Plus there is the worst inequality of all… Inequality of BIRTH.

Honestly,i dont know, most dystopias come about because of some persons dream of utopia.

I am not so knowledgeable so forgive my ignorance, but why do most communist States have this knack for massive intelligence gathering on its own citizens? Are the concepts of personal privacy with freedom and working towards collective good so mutually exclusive?

Again this is not sarcastic, I genuinely wish to know.

PS I also hate capitalism from the core of my guts.

I don’t know about others here but I manually hibernate with

systemctl hibernate

And it works pretty well. I set up 16gb swap for my 16gb ram (Which I know is overkill) but it works. I am on Fedora 40

Man thanks for sharing the fizz buzz link.

This is great. Thanks

Refox OS. I know today isnt a magic bullet but it makes committing memory mistakes a lot harder. Also rust gets first class status as the is standard library calls it and we can slowly get over the legacy of C.

I have a story that most of here might have faced. I ran dd on my external drive instead of my usb stick to create an iso. 1.8TB of data poof.

My dude… You heard of Unixporn?

You can only touch in places where you have permission to touch.

Fuck Microsoft.

For professional work cases, Linux is a very good choice. You don’t need to pay for the corporate windows licences and security is overall better than windows since security by obscurity is a no no which windows intends.

Try going with a solid distro. Use mint or fedora. I would recommend you use the KDE desktop environment as it is very sleek and matches the windows look.

As for your video codec issue, if you are using distros which “respect” American patent laws, use the world wide versions. For example in Fedora, you must install the free world versions.

And the most important tip for you switching to Linux, ask questions and read up if you get stuck on something, however trivial you might think the issue is. The community is very open and very supportive.

Good luck all your endeavours :)

I got tired of all this B’s long time ago and just resorted to torrenting. I missed the series management and resume feature so I coded a app to do it.

PS: in case anybody wants to use it… It’s open source. https://github.com/Dr-42/offflix

1. It’s FOSS
2. Manifest v3
3. AdBlocking extensions for my mobile too!!!
4. They created Rust my all time favourite programming language.

Obviously I listen to music. Without listening to the DOOMSLAYER track, how do i do what I am about to do?
