If you’re using systemd they just recently introduced run0 which works very similarly to what’s talked about here

Should probably fix that given we’ve been out of IPv4 for over a decade now and v6 is only becoming more widely deployed

This sums up how I feel nicely. No issues with parens…but whitespace…fuck that shit

Environment variables are easy to setup in bash? It’s never been anything other than straightforward in my experience

The windows UI being boring doesn’t necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn’t fix the problem IMO.

🤔 hating the windows UI and then going to KDE which is basically a more customizable windows UI seems…odd

Tom Scott actually has a video about this which also talks about why you can’t end sentences with contractions. https://youtu.be/CkZyZFa5qO0

🤔 that’s a fair point…

It’s actually not. Objective-C is a superset of C. C++ is not. It’s MOSTLY compatible…but it’s not a superset. See the restrict keyword, or the need for casting to and from void*, or the inability to name variables new or delete, or class, or this. I can’t count how many C projects I have which use this as a variable name that WILL NOT compile as C++…or the need for extern C to call C ABI code…in no way is it a superset

EDIT: lol, you can downvote me if you want but I think you need to lookup what a superset is

There was actually a really interesting idea I heard to have no time zones. And I actually think it could be a good idea. It’ll never happen because people would need to re-learn time but if it was always the same time everywhere it would make scheduling and business so much easier. No one would need to convert between different zones or be late because of an incorrect conversion. The downside is that times which are conventionally morning or evening etc, would no longer would be so people would have to get used to time just being a construct for scheduling and not a representation of the natural day/night cycle…but it actually doesn’t sound like a half bad idea.

From a development perspective it certainly sounds easier to have one global timezone with DST than a bunch of smaller ones without it. Would that make sense in reality? Probably not but I definitely think timezones take more work to compensate for properly.

…so that leads to another annoyance of mine. The insistence that there aren’t two languages but indeed one named C/C++. Obviously I’m being a bit sarcastic but people blur the lines HEAVILY and it drives me crazy. Most of the C code I’ve written is not compatible with C++…at least not without a lot of type casting at a bare minimum. Or a compiler flag to disable that. Never mind the other differences. And then there’s the restrict keyword, and the ABI problems if the C library you’re using doesn’t extern C in the headers…etc etc… -_-

I really wish more projects would use .hpp to differentiate from C headers. It’s really annoying to have a single header extension blend across two incompatible languages.

Some advice for process parents. Don’t be that kinda process that zombifies your children instead of letting them go, it’s very annoying and unhealthy.

You can send any signal manually including SIGSEGV and SIGABRT

LOL, I also use DNS based filtering soooo I feel your pain.

There’s lots of newspaper sites in the US, that do this. They’ll be like “wanna use private browsing, make an account, or go visit from normal browsing.” Idk why they do it but they do. Apparently there are discrepancies in the way browsers handle persistent storage features between private and non-private browsing that allow for detection

I refuse to go to sites that do this, I also refuse to go to sites that block adblock…and specially the sites that detect and block private browsing, that one shouldn’t even be a thing

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s not illegal in a lot of countries because it’s drawn art and not abuse which is the A in CSAM. That instance is in the Netherlands where I believe Loli is legal for the reasons I’ve mentioned…anyway the point of my bluring comment was you could blur it…which is on the client level so you don’t have to see it in order to block it. I wasn’t suggesting the blur as a permanent fix. Also if you’re that worried about browser cache just use private browsing or something so the cache is immediately wiped afterwards…but whatever. Also mere fact that you know what’s on the instance means you must have seen something by accident…so it’s already in your browser cache so that’s a moot point anyway.

Loli isn’t CSAM…in a lot of countries it’s completely legal. Also do you not have the NSFW blur option enabled? Then you don’t have to see anything when you go there to block it.
