  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    In C++? I'd rather be shot, thanks :P

    its more intimidating

    Here's what we're gonna do. We're going to do the equivalent of x11 application network transparency but with wayland.

    Kind of like streaming a desktop with sunshine, but on an app by app basis.

    Also we're gonna make a client that work for it on android, windows and in a browser.

    Then I'm going to fuck you in the ass

    I appreciate the usage of the pi 1 and not one of the newer versions.

    [–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

    Maybe I'm just old but old pi was special

    [–] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

    It was! I still have mine somewhere in the house. It was my kodi media player for a long time.

    [–] evidences@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

    Pi 1 was an amazing idea, I ordered one as a sonon as they were available and then never used it for anything. I've bought way to many pis since then.

    I better be getting pegged at the end of the night if she makes me suffer by writing C++.

    Put the gun away and throw that cpp book in the bin, fool. I brought The Linux Kernel Programming Guide, which is in C, and my own socks, which are wool. Now let's gets crackin.

    [–] mycall@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

    Bonus points for some Rust device drivers.

    The cool kids are forcing people to read this at gunpoint nowadays

    [–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 67 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

    Right? It's in the kernel and everything now. Linus likes it. Linus hates everything. HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING HIM?

    [–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 36 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

    Big Rust has gotten to Linus

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago

    Not the L man!

    [–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 20 points 15 hours ago

    Did he actually say that he likes it? My impression was that it's not his comfort zone, but he recognizes that for the vast majority of young programmers, C is not their comfort zone. And so, if they don't hop on this Rust train, the Linux kernel is going to look like a COBOL project in a not too distant future. It does not happen very often that a programming language capable of implementing kernels gains wide-spread adoption.

    [–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 19 points 16 hours ago

    One (1) good programming language is what they paid him XD

    [–] 30p87@feddit.org 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

    I'll never touch Rust.

    I hate the syntax and cargo too much for that. If that means that I'll never write mission critical, low level code, so be it.

    [–] m_f@midwest.social 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

    What don't you like about Cargo? Is there another package manager you like more?

    Linux is C only, ever read the rant by Linus last century about C++ ? I was there, in usenet

    [–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 35 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

    They're about allow bits of rust though

    [–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 12 hours ago

    Have they tried applying a bit of protective oil coating?

    He's having the same rant every couple of years. It's always funny.

    [–] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

    Wait, you are telling people had discussion in Usenet? No way!

    Nothing says "I love you" quite like a surprise LFS install.

    Wat? Don't you dare talk that way about my favorite multiple personality disorder clusterfuck of a language.

    [–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 21 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (3 children)

    C is the only language, all the rest are mental disorders (/j 😉)

    Edit: maybe rust, but it's on thin ice XD

    [–] menemen@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

    I still.like fortran better. (And I am not even lying.)

    For anything mathematical, the fact that Fortran has integrated support for doing math on arrays is absolutely fantastic

    the author of C++ said that C gives you many opportunities to shoot yourself in the leg. You have a much less chance for this to happen with C++, but when it does, you will blow your whole lower body off
