>>106469443The whole directory. Sometimes it's nearly instant, other times it takes a whole minute. I feel like if it's been a while since I opened the folder it takes longer.
>>106469567Never said anything about difficulty. Just to get my house working right I needed three programs and had to add my user to some, thing. It works better than it ever did in windows but the effort was much higher. Nothing, just works. Everything has to be made to work.
>>106469704Lol are you using Gentoo or something? CachyOS just works.
>>106469485I managed to get it to show up on right click by making a new .desktop file and using that.It still doesn't actually interact with the file though.However I now realized that running "wine 'program' 'file'" on the terminal also stopped working.Am I also dealing with a wine bug?
>>106469724Using a 'just works' distro misses the point of GNU plus Linux altogether
I'm hearing this language just beat C, C++, Rust, Go and pretty much everything else. Is that true? The more I read about it the more it seems like the true winner of the programming languages of the 2000s.
>>106466164>in comparison to C and rust in benchmarksnot once was any benchmark posted and I'll bet it's a cherry picked one. nim probably has trouble in other cases and you never talk about what the negatives of using nim might be. you still aren't looking at the larger picture which just makes you another annoying nocoder
it sometimes does, as nim has a few top-tier libraries like arraymancerhttps://github.com/mratsim/ArraymancerBut in general, naive nim 2.0 code will lose to naive c/c++ most of the time, but usually by a negligible amount. So you'll have to put in some work if you want to compete or beat.There are some release options since nim just compiles to c.Like using clang LTOhttps://forum.nim-lang.org/t/6295If you are a hardcore manual memory believer, you should be aware that it's highly coupled to its reference counting based memory management solution (which can be quite good sometimes)https://nim-lang.org/blog/2020/10/15/introduction-to-arc-orc-in-nim.htmlAnd while you can turn it off --mm:none, in my experience, it's a second-class experience, which makes sense considering how hostile the creator is for manual memory in nim.You should also be aware, that Nim 2 is in a sort of purgatory right now because they're in the middle of shipping Nim 3, which is a completely new compiler which makes some radical changes.https://github.com/nim-lang/nimonySo while Nim 2 is a great language (with a fair bit of oddities), you're coming in at an awkward time, and i believe you should only use it if you're okay with automatic memory management.If you want an alt lang with a better manual memory experience, or believe in the mixed-management strategy, i think D is a better choice, or you can try the other ones like Zig or Odin (which i have no experience with)
--mm:none
>>106465531our days of searching for a c replacement certainly are coming to a middle
>>106469455Did he already say that he's gonna make breaking changes for nim3?
>>106469710yeah, there's gonna be a fair bit.https://nim-lang.org/araq/nimony.htmlhttps://nim-lang.github.io/nimony-website/index.htmlI haven't looked too hard into nimony/3 yet since Araq (the creator) isn't expecting to publicly ship it for a few more months (which means probably next year Q1). And i have enough experience with nim (a bit before 1.0) to realize it will probably be radically different than the current docs.I'm expecting any large project port will probably be module by module.Anyway, you can read through his progress report threadshttps://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12693https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12978https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/13357
Is Firefox any good in android? It's my main browser in PC but is the mobile version better than chrome or Brave?
>>106464471>Essential Buttons extensionbased, thank youliterally makes firefox usable
>>106468608It's because Mozilla went out of its way to disable and make it impossible to edit the new tab page to anything else, on purpose.
>>106468682They still let you turn all that stuff off if you want
>>106468721You can turn it off on android, but you can't change it to show your bookmarks on new tab, which it used to years ago
Firefox is troon-coded
Hypothetically, lets say I worked for a giant tech company, lets call them... Moogle.I worked as a sales manager of two states for Moogle.I was soft-demoted to one state only (no cut in pay but cut in responsibility.I was on an illegal two-year revolving contract that was unlawful and employed through a sham agency to make it seem I wasn't technically directly employed by Moogle.Moogle senior managers would instruct us to lie to stores about promotions, such as calling them 'sales excursions' instead of a sale promotion (what actually was), as running an incentive-based program costing hundreds of thousands with anti-competition laws in my country.Contract renewals were tied to performing things like this and what other illegal under the table (Below the Line - they actually had a fucking name for it) deals with individual dealer reseller stores (think an AT&T licencee owner that sells Moogle Mixel phones)This meant Mixel phones had a market share of >70% in some dealer stores (normal is around 10% for Mixel). This was a direct result of these bribes they gave to dealer owners to artificially push Mixel. They would give visa gift cards split into small denominations to avoid auto tax-fraud cash equivalent reporting. I brought all of this to Moogle's attention and after two months they fired me just an hour before travel to a Mixel conference for the most trivial reason (I had an business registration I wasn't even using)Comment too long.

>>106468505Similar situation?The thing I dont get it how they command (and usually get) undying loyalty for staff when they treat them as so expendable.I think they habe managed to tap into a specific millennial loser that genuinely sees working at Moogle as their whole identity. It's quite amazing, really. I did admittedly find the Moogle Office tour to be pretty fun, but on the way out I realised that the carnival decorations and mini golf on roof would get stale after a couple of weeks (unless you are Millenial cringe)
>>106468516What I realised is the lawsuits are the whole point. Cheaper and easier to pay lawyers and settle for a few hundred mil when you've made a few dozen bil already. Governments get the few hundred mil which is better than nothing I guess.If you ask me, almost every issue we have in society these days stems from turning people into products. I miss when things had value. Google started this whole 'you will own nothing and be happy' dystopia.
>>106468744>Similar situation?not quite, I toil deep in the bowels of Android.>would get stale after a couple of weeksthey did
>>106468776Ah, so youre really in it. Reading the news about theor monopolistic practices though, it does appear that they do function in this way across their entire brand. Physical hardware was no different than what happens with software and Android. This is their business model. Im starting to see them as more of a hostile government power than a private company.Also im pretty sure they lose money on Mixel just to get the handsets out. The money they were spending on our relatively small market was in way recouped by units sold. It's about getting the software out to people for their own uses later onSpeaking of it getting stale, the click for me was during an awards night they already had selected the most cringe kidult things you can imagine, "hey everyone, the prize this year will be a giant Bowser lego" and the whole team went crazy. At that point I realised that they 'select' for autism. I code-switch to present as such but in reality I am far from it. Somehow they 'knew' that the entire team wanted Lego playsets...
>>106468437Heh, I used to work for a company that catered for Google offices. Me and my coworkers stole so much food, boxes of chips and coconut water etc. We'd get high every day in my manager's car and eat free Google cafe meals on the clock. Good times, desu

ITT: Anti-forensics tools
>>106469057the "plausible deniability" feature only makes sense to use on a hdd because SSDs use something called wear-leveling which gives away the secret volume. disabling wear-leveling ends up just being another indicator that there's a hidden volume, so it's a catch 22 - you can't actually hide an encrypted volume inside of another on a SSD. veracrypt documentation (which comes bundled with the software, mind you) clearly states this. Im pretty sure the archwiki also talks about this on their encryption page

>>106469174trim and wear-leveling, trim commands can be blocked and wear-leveling seems to be only a issue for system encryption

Is it possible to use this piece of shit, without basically live streaming the contents of your hard drives to "them" and having all your actions on the internet archived?I mean like some anti-spyware software or something? I have looked into O&O ShutUp10++ and it seems decent(ish). Is there anything better out there?Inb4: use Linux. I did for months ... and I just fucking can't anymore. It's always something with Linux. It's just a matter of time before you have to fix some basic shit which would never even be a problem on Windows.
>>106460419Best thing you can do is just never connect it to the internet.Next best thing is never use an online account, only local, and block unwanted connections with the firewall.Other than that, no. Not that it matters anyway, you got a phone right?, connected to you home wifi, right? Then (((they))) can get you whenever they want.
>>106469103maybe, but it does literally just work.

HOLY FUCK WHY DID I START INSTALLING GENTOO ON MY THINKPAD X31?!?! WHY DID I EVER THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO COMPILE EVERY SINGLE PACKAGE ON THIS 2 DECADE OLD LAPTOP SHIT SHIT SHIT?!?!?!?!!!?!!
>>106465008>Welp, next time I will study what dependencies I need for a minimum setup. I don't think I need that for st, dwm and other terminal apps.i'm not sure you need llvm either. all my machine uses it for afaik is llvmpipe (modern software 3D renderer) and amdgpu support (likely for shader compilation). i'm not sure if modern mesa uses llvm for the older radeon driver, but you can go without llvmpipe. it's practically only a fallback 3d driver so you can do things like compositing without a 3d card/driver available, which you won't care to use on such a machine anyway
>>106460919llvm is a compiler. you're compiling things, you probably need it for other things
>>106465008>>106467786oh, i'll also agree with what people say about using binhost/prebuilt packages for a few things that both are slow to build and don't matter much to customise. you'll learn which ones those are when you build them. llvm is one example, also webkit, rust, gcc, etc. browsers are slow to build as well but you might actually want to optimise/customise>>106467816llvm is used as the backend for clang, but most things use gcc on linux. he can find out at the end what packages he uses depend on llvm and for what features
>>106457179The point of gentoo on a thinkpad is that you trim down software to use only what you need. Disable everything that you think you won't need, Maintain your own patches for programs that don't already have them. Write your own programs instead of installing others
>>106459664you could have just used the binary packages instead, then do ebuilds when you have a functioning system.
Reminder that modern encryption is already dead.
>>106467474You have no idea what Quantum even is and you have never used a Quantum computer so please shut the fuck up forever
>>106466946This is Microsoft scammery, there’s nothing that can run the algorithm that’d break current cryptography. And even then, we’ve already got post-quantum algorithms kicking about.Quantum computing is like 98% scam investment grifting, like AI but even worse cause their claims amount to “it like computer, but quantum”, and conveniently ignore the fact they’re not useful for general purpose computation.
>>106466946>"""""""Quantum Computer"""""""""">*Look inside*>It's not quantum>It's not a computer
>>1064669461. there is no evidence that Microsoft's Majorana 1 chip actually contains topological qubits instead of Andreev modes2. even if it does, it's only 8 qubits, and a quantum computer that could use Shor's algorithm to break some types of asymmetric encryption efficiently would require thousands or even millions of qubits (depending on how many of the qubits are needed for error correction)3. Shor's algorithm does not affect symmetric encryption; Grover's algorithm does, but it only makes a brute force attack more efficient, while still remaining unrealistic, so modern block and stream ciphers like AES and ChaCha20 would remain secure4. quantum-safe algorithms have been in development for years and will be rolled out before quantum computers become a threat (if they ever do)

Seems like my headset is finally giving up after 8 years of use. The left side is completely unresponsive and I can't handle having audio played in only one ear.I'm looking for a decent midrange headset, emphasis on the set because even though I have an xlr microphone setup, having a backup mic ready to go is essential to me.I'm completely out of the loop on what's popping nowadays, a lot of brands I don't recognize. Budget is in the $50-$100 range, my market is Europe's.I don't care much for microphone quality, what matters to me most is audio quality. Obviously it doesn't have to be the best quality considering the price range, but I'm not looking for a bassboosted negro approved set, I like my mid range and trebles. Wired or not, USB or jack, doesn't matter.I'll also take channel/blogger recommendations so long they don't glaze whomever pays them most and provide good breakdowns with comparisons on the products they review.

According to GeminiIn this video:The scene opens with Captain Picard looking thoughtful in his ready room. In the background, the Vocaloid star Hatsune Miku, now impressively dressed in a red Starfleet command uniform, walks into the room holding a Starfleet PADD (Personal Access Display Device).She stops and stands behind the captain. Then, in a move that would surprise even the Borg, Picard picks up a 20th-century-style handgun from his desk and calmly examines it.It's a fantastic edit, but a few small clues give it away:The Starfleet Guest Star: As you know, Hatsune Miku, while a cultural icon here in Japan and worldwide, never actually made it onto the Enterprise-D's crew roster.The Firearm: The biggest giveaway is the prop. Starfleet exclusively uses energy-based weapons like phasers. A projectile-based handgun like that is a massive anachronism and would be completely out of place in Picard's ready room, unless he was in the middle of a Dixon Hill holodeck program.This is another great example of combining real footage with a digitally inserted character to create a completely new, surreal, and humorous narrative.
