I’ve been running Linux Mint for over four years and was happy with it until the recent drama, especially the AI security scan fiasco. It really shook my trust in the maintainers.I started looking for alternatives, but after testing hundreds of distros, none of them met my expectations for stability and reliability. I began to accept that my system would just break from time to time until I found a thread recommending Windows Seven as a rock-solid alternative.After researching, it turns out this version is still surprisingly usable. It’s stable, reliable, and with extended updates plus a good firewall, security isn’t a major issue.Has anyone else tried this? How did it go for you? Personally, I haven’t run into a single problem so far.
>>107676636Me too.
i use debian if that matters
>>107676674hot, and I also use debian (testing)
>>107671111>you still get updates with 2012 r2not since july, microsoft made it uncompatible, causing the system to break if you installsome people are testing workarounds as far as I know, but it's still experimental
>>107676674I would unironically look exactly like this if i shave
New version is out!https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files/release/Did you update or are you staying with an older version?
>>107669105>Apple is completely incompetent and evil in the graphics area, please don't buy their products.The majority of serious media people are using Macs. If any OS should be the first-class citizen for your media player, it should be macOS. The ignorance of these niggers!>A not too crappy GPU. mpv's focus is not on power-efficient playback on embedded or integrated GPUs (for example, hardware decoding is not even enabled by default).Oh, so the whole player is useless then? When I'm watching movie it's either going to be on my TV (if I'm at home) or my laptop (if away from home), but I'm never going to be using my desktop with a dedicated GPU. Why the hell would I do that? The idiocy of these niggers!>Note that at least for mpv, releases are not actually maintained - releases are for Linux distributions, which are expected to maintain them and to backport bug fixes (which they usually fail to do).Distro maintainers are busy doing this to actually important software that runs the web infrastructure. They are not going to be fixing your media player. The audacity of these niggers!>Mpv requires meson to build.If you want me to compile your software in order to use it, at least have the decency to build it so that it can be done with simple make install. The discourtesy of these niggers!
>>107674948profile=high-quality uses lanczos upscaling, which uses fake math to create fake pixels. You should use bicubic instead.
>>107675021nothing else in your config?
>>107675021You honestly don't even need high-quality, I can't tell the difference unless I take screenshots at pixel peep
>>107675055>>107676669it uses polar lanczos which adds a bit of blur in some cases and requires 10x more resources. there is nothing “high quality” about it.
retailers are asking for 120+ dollars for a RX580 from Biostar, and if you are mad then twice the price for a RTX3050basically 3rd world poorfags got wiped out, good luck with Aliexpress mining cards. Jesus wtf is Biostar ?

installed cork between plate and pcb. I like it. feels more snug. and switches seem really tight in there due to me not doing the best job in cutting it, which worked out just fine.for me the last missing thing for total bliss is silent switches.

/dpt/ - Daily Programming ThreadWelcome to the Daily Programming Thread. What are you working on, /g/?Previous thread >>>107627055
>>107676433Like hygienic+unhygienic macros and compile time program generation. Idk how C++ templates works. I've read that C++ templates do stuff with types so that puts it a different level in the compiler pipeline than ast macros.Also when you don't have those, not having introspection makes things even worse.
>>107676339I get that but there's also the joy of watching your ideas become reality, and if that's your bag, AI is basically crack. On its way to becoming heroin.
>>107676592>compile time program generationYes, that is what C++ template meta language is.>>107676616>AI is basically crack. On its way to becoming heroin.Not making a good case for using AI here.
I just hit the first real milestone in my mp1 decoder project. I was able to decode one channel of my reference file and dumb the decoded pcm to file. Then play out the pcm file with aplay. It sounds like a real sound and not just noise.
>>107676688>Yes, that is what C++ template meta language is.more like, this is one way of doing it. A compile time function that returns an ast node is another, and it's not the same thing as macros either.

>>107676752Unfortunately the more poopular Gaben and Steam gets on linux, more it will attract retards. As soon as something becomes profitable and interesting it will also attract the companies who will begin their grift with telemetry, ads and accounts.

A idiot admire complexity.A genius admire simplicity.
>>107676090>>107676118If Apple did that, you'd complain about the option to choose being taken away. Even if the option isn't obvious with windows like these, it's still there.Besides, .pkg files and the app store exist for this purpose. The dmg/app format (itself a carry over from NextStep) is just an older way that people still prefer. I like how some dmg images still have folders with bonus stuff on them, like an old install cd. DaVinci comes with a 4000 page pdf manual.>>107676134>MacOSDelete .app file>LinuxDelete either .appimage file or the application directory>WindowsRun the built in uninstaller program and hope it removes everything.

>>107675138CanvasBlocker is perhaps the most placebo of all placebos.
>>107675164Not even close. It lets me evade rangebans from this shitty website and it stops youtube from throttling me for using UBO.
>>107675175It doesn't do either of those things schizo it randomizes a hash that's randomized every time your computer restarts anyway. And when the site notices you have different canvas hashes with the same session cookie, well, now yuo're fingerprinted.
