Love how 2/5 comments suggest using KDE (like any sane person) and I totally wasn’t going to do the same (like any sane person).

The earth isn’t rotating and shaped like a pyramid

Arch is driving down the middle, flipping off both sides while having the time of your life.

(Caution: May be best or worst. Commenter may be heavily biased as he uses Arch btw.)

That’s what you do with typos. If that comment happened to fall into the seconds it took me to do so, that’s on me. But I kinda doubt it did and I also kinda doubt you got that the post was a totally obvious joke to begin with.

It used to be pretty terrible, but the frameworks are getting there, starting with the languages they are based on.

Believe it or not, Java has been optimized a ton and can be written to be very efficient these days. Another great example of a high-level, high-efficiency language is Julia. And then there is Rust of course, which basically only sacrifices memory-efficiency for C-speeds with Python-esque comfort. It’s getting better.

Which is exactly what I have written

c/unixsocks in a nutshell

Second this. What you need for high quality media is space, not speed. For any single stream, network and drive will be fast enough anyway. Your typical HDD offers like 4-6 times the bandwidth that a regular Blu-ray can provide. You can get 8TB HDDs for the price of 2TB SSDs. Random access doesn’t matter for that application.

You might want to invest in redundancy and use a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array, depends on how valuable that media is to you or how long it would take to recover in case it’s lost. A simple solution would be a btrfs software RAID, in case your are after something like a Linux home media server with Jellyfin.

You can hat that man all you want, but there is one thing we cannot deny: Everything he invested in turned out to be great* and apparently so did this AI.

*Social media companies not included; Brain thingy pending; Animals were definitely harmed during production

I want to believe we have gotten better and “wehrhafte Demokratie” is not just a throwaway slogan. In sum, “only” about 25% are voting populist, be it put of protest, spite, for your own benefit ot out of crooked conviction. That means 75% are still somewhat reasonable and I want to see this as a positive thing.

The only ads I’m exposed to are influencers and product placements. I recently bought something because of an influencer the second time in my life (excluding their own merch). I think I can manage.

I do fall for sales tho. Bad impulse control.

And here I was thinking you just shoot assholes who play lame combos like that

When you have not thanked your chatbot of choice even once

Tbf, some viruses are our friends. I would really like to avoid others tho

I hope so, using fish automatically makes you a better person in my humble and completely unbiased opinion

You have no idea what a pain in the ass it is to develop even a fraction of a car. I have seen the madness first hand. Everything is specified precisely, tested, protyped and tested again. Pretty much every part, microchip, piece of software, you name it. In addition you have designers wanting stuff certain ways, cost cutting and so on.

Now take that, put some old farts in exec position into the equation and imagine you want to totally change how cars work. They may be convinced you are right at this point, but now you need to rethink and adapt all processes, develop and specify and prototype tons of new stuff, integrate that with old stuff, build new supply chains, test all that and repeat.

Comparing a company to a containership was always a great analogy. The current situation is attempting a 360 with one at full speed. Startups have the advantage of being build arround new ideas like centralised computing, autonomous driving, modern entertainment systems etc. They have disadvantage when it comes to cost, quality management, distribution, volume… That said, the technological advantage is very pronounced atm.

I’m sure we will get there eventually, but it will definitely take some more time for the Germans to fully catch up.

Yes, no, and they can still become a dish if you wrap them right…Or so I have heard…

You know, I think it’s kinda weird. Chatbots are all the hype and yet people hate terminals. Maybe we just need a very over-engineered terminal that insults your pitiful attempts at bash before they are cool again.

No, cause it’s my work computer and I don’t give a fuck what IT does as long as I have a backup of my stuff
