“Bloody Just Stop Oil protesters blocking the road, preventing me to go to work just so they can spread the message that we’re all going to die! I HAVE A MORTGAGE!”

Thanks, this seems like a very thorough description of the situation. My limited understanding of how coding works and has worked through history is like you say “filled with a lot of jank” regarding memory because it was limited but also because compilers weren’t as efficient as they are today. So it makes sense that there are purists that believes the only good code is the one where programmers are in total control of every bit of memory themselves instead of leaving anything to automation.

That’s actually really cool. I like that the dev has expressed that he doesn’t want to make the algorithm addictive and just keep it random 😅

Classic. But yeah, that’s how I’m reading the situation as well.

Some of the comments on that article made me realise I’m a bit out of the loop: what makes Asahi linux “woke”?
It is sad though that there is so much drama around linux development. It’s easy for me to say this, but I do think it’s important that there is a switch to a newer language like Rust away from C eventually.

It is nice to have guard rails like a GUI until you grasp the possibilities, that’s how I’ve learned historically coming from DOS and Windows at least, but you can still mess things up plenty with this tool.

I switched to linux a little over a year ago and went with MX Linux because they have great GUI tools for windows refugees like myself, and because they don’t like systemd over there they use cron jobs. Now, having switched to Nobara I’ve just installed both SystemD Pilot here, but also found KCron, a KDE Cron configuration module which allows for the same functionality as what I’m used to.
If I just want to setup a “when system starts” daemon, is there really any difference in using one over the other? I guess it’s possible to shut down services more gracefully?

In any case, great job on this utility.

~72 hours. I think I went beyond that, but gave up because there’s diminishing returns for fasting that long, that is, your body starts shutting down in a way that eating again after that period can be dangerous if not done very slowly with like bone broth or whatever.
Mind you, it’s not easy fasting what with it being impossible not to flush out electrolytes, so making sure you get enough salt, magnesium and potassium supplements is a must. Obviously, other vitamin supplements doesn’t hurt. The only dangerous one is potassium, so make sure the dosage is right. Oh, and there ought to be enough calcium in the tablets alone if you take vitamins daily and depending on where you live, if the water is hard enough (like here in Denmark), that’s another source.

A friend of mine, back when we got stoned a lot, had an idea that language, or words, are magic. Stringing together incantations to share thoughts is a neat way of thinking about it. Especially because we’re just jello trapped in a mecha made of bone and meat. It’s surprising there’s not more hallucinations to be honest.

Like @prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone said, there’s a flatpak PS4 emulator that makes it trivial to apply the patch, as demonstrated here.
