>>107677117hello. i've been a macbook user for the past decade and am currently running an 8 year out of date version of macos. i want to switch to linux now. which distro should i pick?
>>107678529I have no idea how someone could break their system by downloading a language pack lmao...Well first, tell us exactly what did you download and how did you install it, did you use 'apt install' on some shady .deb or .ppa?
let me guess. you need more
>>107677636You'll also need some new skates since they all hide the screws under them.
>>107673361Why can't you fucking negros fucking clean your mice?For God's sake, grab some alcohol and some paper and disinfect that shit already, there's probably 10 different lost diseases living in there.
>>107669315>>107674421>>107674456What are some chink models you guys would recommend looking into?
>>107677972I was looking at Rapoo they actually have a pretty decent legacy behind them. I can’t vouch for them personally though.I’ve found some good middle tier mice cheap like NZXT Ergo(terrible software though), Mountain Makalu and Kysona Uranus for cheap too. Cherry xtrfy m50 wireless is also great for me just a tiny bit heavy but very nice otherwise.They’re all decent personally i’d recommend chinese brands that have been veterans in the industry good track record like Rapoo, XTRFY, Pulsar, VXE, etc.
Anyone else have a fucked up scroll wheel?
/g/, is there any point in learning the Win32 API in 2025?
>>107678301POSIX doesn't have a windowing API.
>>107678301>OP should learn POSIX APIs and how Linux extends and improves upon them.LARP post. Not even freetards think POSIX is good, GNU famously makes a mockery of it.
>>107678527Linux does not have system calls to create a window. So you can really only statically link primitive console applications.
>>107678572You could statically link X11 or Wayland libs, or GTK. And then you'd have to statically link libc too and deal with all the ways THAT will (and it will) eventually break because libc isn't the only thing breaking ABI compatibility.Or you just do what everyone else does and dynamically link everything and just tell your users to recompile everything when libc decides it's time for our irregular and unscheduled ABI breakage (Linux distro package manager approach), or to run it in a container from now until all time (Valve's approach). ABI compatibility on POSIX is and will always be a fucking clusterfuck and it's a miracle they managed to learn nothing from Microsoft doing it right for all the world to see.
>>10767865030 years ago the current Linux way of dealing with compatibility would be insane, but these days I think it's fine. Storage is cheap and the Steam Linux runtime literally just werks. Flatpak does basically the same thing and it works well enough that some companies use it to ship commercial software.The Windows way seems magical until you run into apps that just don't work, in my experience it's a complete crapshoot.
Programming is done for as a profession.

use case?
>>107672809balanced signal lines so you don't get interference from the equipment itself, some satanists use it for dual data lines with common ground, also it was briefly used as a standardized connector for fucking machines (i am not kidding, this is real, the biggest manufacturer used dummy xlr plugs for toy retention and a normal xlr for the controller and everyone else followed suit for compatibility with bootlegs)>>107674366i hate these so much.

>>107677728rockchip took LGPL code and relicensed it as apache and deleted the authors file and claimed they wrote the whole thing and refused to fix it after being called out

Fellow software engineers, what's your plan for the next 5-10 years?I wasn't worried until Sonnet & Opus 4.5 but it genuinely one shots everything I give it. We went from doing 30 story points (team of 4) to 60 per sprint after the release. The writing is on the wall, software engineering will be the first white collar job to be automated.What do we do afterwards?
>>107678575The robots do the living, we do the survivalWe cremate our memories to power their vitals
>>107678494In general, jobs where you are valued for your knowledge and experience are more comfortable than jobs where you are valuable for your labor. Codemonkeying might disappear as a profession but you still need people who understand software and programming.
>>107678597Not sure anon, Opus 4.5 seems to understand better than most of us.
>>107678597Currently, there are millions of programmer positions around the world, and I'd say 90% of those positions are easily replaced with AI. Look, the overwhelming majority of the job market is web-dev, something that has extensive documentation, frameworks, well-defined constraints, etc. It's literally the perfect type of work for AIs, which is exactly why we have the impression that AI is much better than junior developers and most mid-level developers.I'd say Claude does about 80 or 90% of my web-shitter work these days, the other 10 or 20% is basically reviews, documents, and meetings, which AI helps with, but can't completely replace me. The problem is that by reducing a team's workload by 80%, it means you now only need 20% of the team to continue delivering the same throughput as before. The only reason to keep current programmers is this: you're a big tech company that needs to secure professionals for its own future, or you have such a huge backlog that even without AI you would need to hire more employees to meet the demand. Companies with this profile are a minority; most people work with web-shit, basically pasting pieces of frameworks together, nothing innovative or groundbreaking.In a few years, being a programmer will be like being an artist; only truly brilliant individuals will be able to make a living from it. Most will need a side hustle or even change professions entirely. But look on the bright side, this will serve as a filter to remove all those Indians and Chinese who came to the US and EU.

>>107678069Just poorfags mad people are enjoying things they can't afford
>>107678205Nice cope and perhaps troons should use the same excuse on anyone who doesn't have a mutilation fetish.
>>107678069>there's 0 burn in or issues that you mentionedThere's 100% sure burn-in in that monitor, but it's most probably unnoticeable, and have in mind that when you put the monitor to sleep it automatically performs the pixel refresh by itself, so at least once a day it's doing its thing even if you don't do it manually.
>>107633754>Raised blacksThe fuck you're talking about?Not the other guy, but I'm on my (oled) phone and there's absolutely zero raised blacks on any of the 4 displays (which is kinda suspicious, btw).
I hate this fucking thing so much it is so shit and wrong more than any other AI trash out there and just shits up every page every time you make a search
>>107676574I think I did it wrong it took four niggers before it wouldn't help meoh wait now I see my mistake

>>107676574Wow, we've gone from GNU +Nigger to Google -Nigger
>>107673800Use a different search engine.
