>>107670561the UI designers have no visibility or say on the shitty jeetcode webshit implementation and companies almost never look for UI design people who know how to program or how the systems work. the terrible performance, lag, glitches are ux too, but the UI designers are completely isolated from those concerns by the hiring process.i dont think you are able to define what you think "minimalism" is. win9x/xp had way less crap going on the screen and had rather rudimentary uis.this new run dialog is basically another stab at having a maocs quicksilver-like launcher from like 2004https://qsapp.com/about.phpor mac spotlight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotlight_(Apple)a stock windows 95 or gaanoo loonix rice with just a tiling wm and dmenu is something vaguely "minimal" by today's standards..........

>>107670740>ui designers want to keep their job, so they find excuses to change things that do not need changing, without taking risk, resulting in the shit ui's we have now.UI designers do not make these decisions, they are almost on the same level as code monkeys in the pecking order.The brief they receive from the above (Product Manager, Product Owner) already says 'here draw a new thing that does this and that but also that, and have it touch friendly kind of like iOS, it will replace the legacy windows95...'

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.

How should I store event flags? Right now, I'm leaning into just storing all of them as strings in a vector, because having them as text you can input and edit makes things much easier for me. Even if I have like 10000 of them, comparing strings can't be that much worse than int if they're short, right?
>>107672014store them as strings and deserialize them as a bitset or something
>>107672014is this a bait question where you pretend you don't know what an enum is
>>107672032Interesting.>>107672074I use enums, it's just that game flags need to be text. I want to be able to create them outside the game and set up stuff by typing them out in the level editor.

>>107669484ECC ram isn't required for ZFS to maintain it's integrity, blocks are checksummed in memory as well as on the disk. It just helps prevent software instability due to failing ram or sunspots etc. If your ram is so bad its flipping bits, the data you are trying to write would be polluted before it gets written.Scrubbing is intensive as it has to re-checksum every block, so if a drive is failing it could increase the damage on that disk. Its gonna fail the pool again if this starts happening? I would say the pools are not scrambled, unless you have been replacing drives (more than the max fail count) and running the zfs commands to do that, before its rebuild the volumes.ZFS drives get tagged with the pool info, so you can put the drives back in any position and it should figure out where they go. You need to figure out whats wrong with the hardware, get that sorted, then you can get the pools running again. You could even put them in a different computer and import the pools on that.ZFS is pretty good with all this stuff.

I want a mouse with at least 20 buttons, strong build, more weight, and with nonbloat softwarewritten in Lua/C/C++
>>107668552My favourite feature about the about the MX Master series of mice is not the side side scroll wheel but the automatic maglock on the primary scroll wheel. When you scroll slowly you get normal tactile steps but when you scroll fast the maglock automatically disengages and you get free rolling momentum scrolling.It's very nice for scrolling through long documents like source code or 4chan pages.

Bots usually do most of the work of bumping up versions, it usually pulls directly from upstream with minimal patching. If you follow unstable you will have few if any known CVEs in your software. There's potential security concerns with the nix store and the script that runs statemd stage 1 that makes secureboot less effective(you should be encrypting your drive anyway). You should assess your own threat model and act accordingly as well.

Why did valve based SteamOS off of arch instead of something like debian or fedora?
>>107671967Fedora actually has an elected Engineering Steering Committee that decides what gets in and out into releases so Valve would not be free to do as they wished.Meanwhile Arch, well...

>>107672067I downloaded Asus Smart Gesture, but it does not have this feature. The hwid seems to be that of a focal tech touchpad.What kind of variant of software should I try?
>>107672133Now you're starting to find out why I told you to check Device Manager to find out who the touchpad OEM is. Asus don't make the touchpad, some rando company (likely Synaptics, but it's not guaranteed) does.Every laptop manufacturer gets the basic driver, brands it with their logos, adds (or removes) features to their tastes, then puts it up in the "Download drivers for Fagbook GAY-9000+" section of their website.I, for example, had great success running the Twinkpad touchpad drivers on my Dell Latitude years back: both touchpads were made by Synaptics, but the "Lenovo" driver had more features/less disabled parts.
