Cachy isn't a meme distro anymore. Hell, shit like Mint is more of a meme because at least they aren't ancient compared to Arch or Fedora downstreams, and even newfags can use Cachy.

FOSS influencer Byran Lunduke is an extreme zionist who supports AIPAC and mainstream normie conservatism. Even back when I was a FOSS chud I made it clear that I couldn't stand Israel bombing Palestine and AIPAC milking the U.S government and I still feel that way today.

But thats all you guys have a zionist puppet representing an intectual and moral void.

Why should it bother me if other software developers in the various FOSS communities here want to wear cat ears, take estrogen and embrace feminine clothes and lifestyles and adopt female pronouns? Even if it is AGP fetishism in some cases, so what! Trans people are free to live how they want and most trans people who meet that category "estrogen, cat ears, femme life" show evidence of making and maintaing quality FOSS software. For them embracing femine characteristics gives the most comfortable lifestyle that empowers them. For me I am not trans, I do not get aroused or forfilled by cross dressing or swapping default pronouns but thats just because my brain is different. Its most likely their brains are setup in a way where feminine aesthetics are emotionally forfilling, perhaps there is neuroscience to explain why this happens. but in anycase rather it is personal choice, nuture or nature or a mix of all three. Why should I want to conflict with how trans people express themselves? What is the point of being a bigot or exclusionary.

What the fuck is Lunduke doing with his life? He's trying to make enemies with people just because they have different brains. If he really wanted to critique DEI from a rational perspective he'd do what this guy did (PIC ATTACHED) but Lunduke's not smart enough to make a rational critique of DEI so he just calls it racist against white people and roleplays as a victim while damning his favorite outgroup; which is trans people.

The reason I left the chuds is because there really isn't any evidence or structure to what they say and they look to make enemies.

I'd just like base system to be a base system and then I can build from there. If base system was an actual base system and I could install sboui and begin building, that would be perfectly satisfactory. But, it would need to be able to tell you what dependencies you're missing. My understanding of sboui dependency handling is that it's based on the assumption you've started from a full Slack install. I could be wrong about that, but did read it somewhere in the mix of my attempts. Really, I wouldn't even mind handling dependencies myself if it was easy enough to identify what I don't already have vs what I'd need for a given "intended package".
>>
>>107639190
> to identify what I don't already have
to me, thats done with ldd most of the time. not perfect but it works.
also, check whats written for LFS, i'm sure there are methods common to LFS users which make life easier on slackware.
>>
>>107639223
I've never heard of ldd before, or at least never noticed it if it pass in front of my eyes, so am reading about it now. This was fruitful for learning about that regardless of Slack. I just let apt handle all my packaging, but still consider this to be worthwhile general knowledge of the systems.
>>
>>107639285
also look at objdump

what i sometimes do with ldd is roughly:
take output of ldd, clean it up with awk, pipe it to xargs which then runs slackpkg file-search on each library.
this gives me all the packages which contain the missing libraries.
could just as well pipe that list to slackpkg install but i like to look at it first.

it really looks into the executable and not what someone else happened to specify some time ago in some list.

OpenAI solved IMO using a plain LLM, unlike DeepMind, who used a custom system based on Lean 4.

Some myths that people are coping with (with answers):

* AIs saw these problems in their training data -- No, OpenAI got the problems within minutes of IMO ending
* AIs used a lot more time -- No, OpenAI's model had the same amount of time.
* They used a boutique system designed for solving IMO problems -- Only DeepMind. OpenAI used a general LLM.

AI is already smarter than you.

In b4: spelling gotchas and image-based tasks, or people who never used top of the line LLMs like gemini-3-pro and gpt-5-high.

There's decent candidates for that in the scientific literature, and open source software that implements them, but they use a totally different set of scaling laws and can't be implemented on GPUs. Big tech isn't interested, because the transition will make a truly vast amount of investment basically instantly worthless and trigger an abysmal market crash.

$150K is not enough for a house in many places, and maybe he didn't have downpayment. And even if he bought a house, he wouldn't be able to keep making the payments without a job.

BTW, you could have asked AI this very question, and it would have told you the same thing. AI is smarter than you.

This shows the double-retardation of Rust people - first they invented a concept that inherits most of the problems of untyped null, then claimed that 'our language has no null'.

Second, instead of doing implicit casts, which would be sensible in all realistic scenarios, and either requiring an explicit cast when it's not, or falling back to a sensible default, they just disabled the feature completely.

It's clear that this language is designed by a council of annoying nerds, who keep complaining about every design decision, until it doesn't have these kind of corner cases. That's why Rust has a culture of 'safety', 'safety' IRL means a decision most immune to be undermined by these smarmy people

Who else is dead-scared of their PC bricking in this crazy no-ram no-gpu no-whatever climate.

Especially since, if you, like me, have earned 80$ in the past month.

Something actually happened to my PC last year, but I got it fixed up.

Some people are so rich, they fucking buy a new PC every time even something fixable happens to it.

Wish I was 13 again, and my mom bought my PCs with her credit union winnings.

Well, that was 19 years ago.

Fuck. I'm so stressed out about this.

What I'm sure of is, I don't need to upgrade for another 5 years. I don't play games, and my PC compiles even the most complex programs that use LLVM --- mother of all slow-compiling pieces of shits Intermediate Languages, quick enough. I compiled CLASP (Common Lisp with LLVM) faster than I expected.
