why don't you see more people attempting to utilize this feature on their personal computers? you can essentially lock down your entire C: drive so that changes to the filesystem are saved ephemerally and lost on reboot, and then manually create exceptions for directories that need persistent changes.
with that plus a data drive you basically get all the benefits of an immutable system that nixos and silverblue are targeting.
i can install applications/games via scoop and use my desktop as normally, save pictures, do my work, etc. but the core windows installation essentially exists in a frozen state. changes to C: are saved either in ram or another location on disk and then scrubbed at boot.
why don't i see people trying to leverage this for home use cases? is it just because it's a command-line tool?

you can turn it off and on as needed. so for updates or changes you just turn it off, run the update, and turn it back on. it requires some rebooting but the advantage is also more deliberate updating. kind of ideal if you plan to update infrequently.
>>107584213
i'd assume but i'm talking about people on /g/ not windows users at large. i thought most of you are running iot ltsc.
>>107584280
well then stay where you are. i use nixos on all my other machines. i discovered this while trying to make a windows computer i need to use as nixos-like as possible.
it's not atomic, or entirely reproducible, configurations aren't declarative. but i can do a fresh unattented windows install, use winget to import a list of programs to install, and then run a powershell script that freezes windows after i get it set up how i like it.
accomplishing this with a variety of awful microsoft tools makes me appreciate how elegantly nixos handles things that's for sure.

We were talking about Rust.
If you willingly choose to use Zig, you should be PROUD of having to write something very explicit like
    var i: usize = 100;
i -= 1;
while (true) {
// do something
if (i == 0) break;
i -= 1;
}

If indeed, it was a logical fallacy, you may have a point.
But as you cannot think through the premise to it's logical conclusion before you hit 'enter', you have a folder full of frogmeme. And it has value to you.

they literally just made the captcha easier for bots.
just clicking "Get Captcha" once gives you 3 times 5 examples (on the least trusted IPs, which is actually even better, it lets you collect more), and the prompt is always "find the odd one out", this means it can only be trained unsupervised, which is even better because it means the data can be collected automatically.
The images are very low res so it requires even less compute to train classifiers.
There are only 3 characteristics: number of dots, shapes, and text style.
I think a basic SVM/perceptron setup with less than 100k total parameters could achieve +90% accuracy with about 1000 unlabeled examples.

>>107581665
How does that even compute? even if leto had no captcha solver, the captcha is still so easy he makes his users fill it out manually, he gets users only because he has infinite residential proxies. Instead of changing up the captcha they could just make spam/cp detection better.
How did they even get the idea that making captchas harder would thwart any dedicated troll that is willing to fill out as many captchas as possible manually if it means they can troll le board. even when they do have to fill these captchas, the experience is much more convenient than on the actual site, not having to actually fill out these captchas is just the cherry on top.

Fios 300mbps, don’t need more

>>107584561
By that argument, I also don't need a car with more than 75HP. Either way, if you live in the west don't have gigabit+ speed at home right now you've been left behind.

Mozilla is officially dead to me now. I feel foolish for donating to them, but that was a while ago when I thought they had a smidgen of a chance left. But now they have decided to go "fully beyond the point of no return" with their new CEO and "AI strategy" now.

They lost the rendering engine wars to Chromium despite their initial victory in the 2000s over Internet Explorer (They had 30% market share at one point). They completely failed in Mobile (I still have a now non functional Firefox phone), they failed in extensions after they destroyed XUL. The ONLY thing they have left is ublock origin, but most people don't care about ads and actually like buying things.

I currently use Edge now, yes it's Chromium but Ladybird and Servo will always be cockblocked by Cloudflare unless you bribe hiro $30 (and that's only 1 site out of millions that use Cloudflare) so can even post on 4chan with them.

Mozilla deserves to be replaced like XFree86 was replaced by Xorg and then by XLibre, not just a softfork that is just git cherrypicking like all the current forks, but an actual true new foundation and true "new Phoenix" (Mozilla historians know what I mean) that disables all enshittification and does not take Google blood money.
