Programming@programming.dev•Void Linux maintainer orphans 100+ packages over AI policy dispute
106·1 month agoSorry, but what does AI achieve that static code analysis tools don’t? Apart from maybe ridiculous environmental impact?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•OpenTS is a new open-source reconstruction of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun
35·1 month agoYou don’t do open source software?
Do you understand open source licenses?
A big premise of that is attributation. If you don’t give appropriate credit, you’re in breach of license. The code AI used didn’t allow it to be distributed without it. They stole from that person.
We’re talking about the worker, not the bourgeoisie. Their labour was exploited to benefit a corporate entity. And you’re consuming stolen proceeds from the bourgeoisie and defending their contributions.

107·1 month agoDamn. Imagine shilling for big AI companies because you gain something. Those companies stole from people to sell it. Where are your principles?
I’m not from the US so care little for the constitution. What is in the constitution and what is right are two different things.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are the worst distro-specific problems you have faced?
7·2 months agoOpenSuse TW. Network seems to be permission based. If I’m connected to the Internet on one user and someone logs in, they cannot connect without my pass. Quite ridiculous.
Oh, and I used to hibernate. Then it stopped working. Now I try to sleep and that sporadically fails requiring restart.
Technology. Pixels and fluff. Things that have existed for decades…

Programming@programming.dev•Discussion: Programming conventions for On/Off functions. Singular or separate?
2·2 months agoI wouldn’t use SystemState for a boolean. Better to have Enable() or Disable().
The consideration is about what the consumer of that code knows about it. If it knows less about the inner workings and state, it has lower coupling. You can more easily change 1 without changing all the callers of it. Ideally code, especially in object oriented programming should have high cohesion (each class has one purpose and one reason for change) and low coupling.
Most stuff depends but those concepts can guide you. Learning SOLID principles helps to write better code.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux 7.2 finally cuts off ancient x86 fallback code
3·2 months agoWhy don’t you support a Linux distro that runs on prehistoric hardware?
It’s very easy to spend other peoples time than offer your own for something you clearly don’t care enough about.
If you missed the comment. Previous kernel version is supported until 2035. That’s 9 more years. You need any longer than that?

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Star Citizen has a disastrously laggy stream with horrendous vibes, which isn't a great look when you're past $1 billion in fundingEnglish
2·2 months agoThat’s a fair point. We’ll see. Do they even have a viable post-release business model?

313·2 months agoIt’s less a game and more a sim. They’ll not fix broken box missions, but spend weeks on fart mechanics. Either they are incompetent or intentionally stalling. I personally believe the latter.
They don’t intend to leave alpha because they’re making money from ship sales. It’s pretty, but it’s not fun when you run, and boom, you dead. 45 mins to get back there.
Even scams have valid products behind them.

1·2 months agoWhat? Not sure how you interpreted it that way. The point was I maintain my skills and there will be competition so if they low ball me, they can keep looking.

Plus, I’m good and they won’t be the only company I’m talking to.

261·2 months agoThey can try. I know number I’m looking for to move jobs. I won’t move for a paycut. If they want me in the office, they need to pay more.
I think they pay mullvad. It has a no logs policy. Better than most. I currently use Mullvad but maybe will try proton when it expires as they’ve had some missteps, but they ain’t funding Nazi parties.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Epic Games is planning a native Linux version of their store launcher (not in the upcoming preview), as more work is needed beyond just a native build (AMA, answered by Epic employee @1percentnachos)English
33·2 months agoMost products.
Hopefully it paves the way to Unreal Engine. Unity sucks worse and while Godot is great, UE has advantages in many ways when building games.
Plus competition can only help. Steam taking a 30% cut is very significant and can really impact on Indie developers.

Thanks for sharing this. Maybe correct tagging could be useful. Makes it easier to ignore but not overly heavy and possibly toxic.
