>>107575883What BSD would be the best to switch to for generic server usage, from Debian as the project has been taken over by trannies and has been going in the wrong direction for last decade first systemd, then AppArmor, and now all the Rust troonery, and its too much.Debian 12 is the last one I'll be using and I'm looking into switching to something run by sensible adults like the BSD variants but its been 20 years since ive used a BSD system and remember nothing about it soo, whats the situation these days.

For me, it's Fedora. I don't know why anyone would recommend Mint these days. Fedora has sensible default settings, good built-in security, newer packages, good support, and you can easily replicate the Windows workflow with KDE. And if you want a macOS-like experience, there's GNOME.Best distribution for new users? Yes, I think so.

>>107607834I am going to install opensuse on my laptop thats collecting dust right now to spite you. I will tell you if its better than fedora
>>107607448LMDE. Linux on ez mode cuz it's Mint. Doesn't flood you with updates cuz it's Debian-based.
>>107607448Fedora's ai slop now so I've been testing others.for beginners i'll probably stick to suggesting mint or the official kde distro.
what the fuck goes on in these communities?
So what's the deal with everyone hating on Rust? The usual points people bring up are: >wokism >tranny language >made by jews >it's a cult Disregarding the aforementioned points, can you tell me actual reasons for why a safe(r) programming language like Rust shouldn't be adopted more widely?
>>107608961If you change "Rust" to "C" you get what really happened. C programmers rewrote existing code in C and shilled it as a Trojan horse, literally because of bugs like the Morris worm. C programmers are projecting and accusing Rust programmers of doing what the C programmers actually did.>It was always about personal benefit. Rewriting things is just a way to take the credit for the work someone else did. It's a way to transfer power to someone else.Like the people who said "C is the first programming language after assembly" and made songs like "Write in C" and tried to say C and Unix were the origin of everything in modern computing?
>>107603317Rust doesn't prevent memory leaks. Some of the stdlib leaks memory.
>>107604735If you want to avoid unsafe you have to avoid the Rust stdlib. Unsafe is spammed thousands of times in the stdlib. If the Rust devs themselves use unsafe so much I have serious doubts that safe Rust is a tool fit for any non trivial program.
>>107608932>they deliberately did not "replicate GNU coreutils functionality 1:1"then they're useless for Canonical and thus an irrelevant datum in the context of this conversation you were implying that because there are other non-copyleft coreutils projects, if Canonical wanted to ship one for financial motives, they could have already done so, but your argument falls apart because those other projects purposely do not replicate coreutils functionality 1:1, and uutils intends to and has made significant progress towards that goalbut thanks for playing
>>107609110I don't know why it's so hard to understand that unsafe is necessary. The compiler cannot prove that any arbitrary program is memory safe. You can have a compiler that is either complete (accepts all memory safe programs) or sound (rejects all non-memory safe programs), but not both, Godel's incompleteness or whatever may apply. Soundness is obviously the better of the two options, so there are going to be parts of the code you as the programmer have to take on the responsibility of proving the correctness of, since the compiler cannot.

>>107606856JXL currently has a high RAM consumption problem they're trying to fix with a rust JXL decoder. PCs have no problem absorbing this spike in RAM consumption because Windows will dynamically adjust whatever the fuck it wants to as page file, even if it destroys the SSD in a few years. AVIF hardware decoding doesn't seem to have this problem but most image viewers don't support tiling so we're currently stuck at whatever you see in >>107587435https://github.com/libjxl/jxl-rs
I got one more bullshit test I just thought of. Since AVIF hardware decoding is a thing then it's logical that AVIF hardware encoding will be next. Anyway the faster presets should give us a hint as to what compression efficiency of HW will be like. I'll test 3 SS2 scores and compare them to a JPG of the same score.>50 = medium quality. MOS score around 3 ('fair') in a BT.500 ACR test. Slightly annoying artifacts. This corresponds to the typical output of cjxl -d 5 / -q 45 or libjpeg-turbo 4:2:0 quality 35.>70 = high quality. MOS score around 4 ('good') in a BT.500 ACR test. Artifacts are perceptible, but not annoying. Distortion barely noticeable by an average observer in a side-by-side comparison at 1:1 from a normal viewing distance. Without reference to the original image, an average observer does not notice artifacts. This corresponds to the typical output of cjxl -d 2.5 / -q 73 or libjpeg-turbo 4:2:0 quality 70.>80 = very high quality. Distortion not noticeable by an average observer in a side-by-side comparison at 1:1 from a normal viewing distance. This corresponds to the typical output of cjxl -d 1.5 / -q 85 or libjpeg-turbo 4:2:2 quality 85.https://github.com/cloudinary/ssimulacra2Picrel is the source PNG test image.
I could not achieve a consistent SS2 50 medium quality score, the closest I got was around 53.{AVF} Q37 Filesize: 26 KB ....

>>107606984thanks for the input, ive read that firefox was also waiting for that rust rewrite since they believe the actual one could introduce attack surface on their browser.i want to be optimistic, its a new format after all. i hope they can put it together, jpg needs to go.

What would it take to manufacture CRTs on a commercial scale again in 2026 and the years to come?Would it be more viable to buy existing IP/patent rights from the companies that used to be the leaders back in the day, or to re-develop the technology from scratch using modern means?
>>107608834Its an implementation artifact that is not even consistent across different tvs. And in the case of flat CRTs, not present at all. The curve is not intrinsic to the essence of the CRT.
>>107607357>it's not inferior from the consumer's pointConsumers aren't crt autists. Its giant, heavy, flickering and whining, have poor contrast under light. And all for what? Motion clarity for a ufo test? Its basically irrelevant for anything besides gaming.
>>107608878I didn't see you sperging out about how the 4:3 aspect ratio isn't intrinsic to the essence of the CRT, as widescreen CRTs also exist.The point is: a 4:3 OLED doesn't have the motion clarity or near-zero display lag of a CRT. The only thing OLED has in common with a CRT is being an emissive display.To make it more CRT like, the only other options would be to give it a curved geometry or emulate scanlines. Both flaws of CRT implementation, yes, but they're part of the fucking look, which is the whole point.Flatscreen CRTs also had their own issues with image geometry, since the beam deflection and focus had to account for the fact that the distance from the gun to the screen increased as the beam moved away from the center of the screen.For that reason, the vast majority of consumer displays made were curved. By the time flatscreen CRTs were becoming common, LCD were already on the way in.
>>107608900>its basically irrelevant for anything besides gamingAnd we all know nobody plays video games!
>>107609092Yeah sure GTAV is the highest revenue media product of all time but to be honest with the gaming statistics, the Western market is pretty much tapped out sure the difference is that boomers didnt game much and now GenX and everyone younger are gaymers who started young and will continue till death, but we are pretty much saturated at this point and most of the growth is actually coming from chinks and third worlders getting into mobile games, not PC
I guess it was inevitable. Next I suppose they'll rewrite it in Rust and festoon git-scm.org with the pride progress and Ukraine flags.

What's the issue with Rust?So far It has nice modern features like a cleaner syntax, and their memory system seems better than C or C++.Dunno why trannies is a computer science argument, since I don't care about rust developers fetiches.
