Oh, and GBA rom is included with game files.

I believe for many companies, developers work on giant codebases with many hundred thousands or even millions of lines of code.

With such large codebase you have no control over any system. Because control is split between groups of devs.

If you want to refactor a single subsystem it would take coordination of all groups working on that part and will halt development, probably for months. But first you have to convince all the management people, that refactor is needed, that on itself could take eternity.

So instead you patch it on your end and call it a day.

Ubuntu: 😮why?

For a lot of people Ubuntu is the linux. Canonical is just good at marketing. For all it worth, Ubuntu is not the bad choice for average user who’s not into ricing and not bothered by bloat.

Manjaro: haven’t you managed to kill it yet?

I’ve been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

Mint: ex windows guy?

Aren’t we all?

The most stable rolling distro.

To be fair, it’s also missing open_dialog_file, dialog_open_file and most crucially file_open_dialog

Yes the compiler/interpreter can figure it out on the fly, that’s what we mean by untyped languages.

Are there untyped languages? You probably meant ‘dynamically typed languages’.

But even statically typed languages can figure out most types for you from the context - it’s called ‘type inference’.

No way… I remember seeing this comment ~10 years ago. I’ve been trying to search for it occasionally through past 5 years. I didn’t remember the guy’s nickname, only the concept and that it’s Youtube’s ‘constant/rule’. Couldn’t find even a mention anywhere. I legit thought I made it up or it’s the Mandela effect.

Thank you! I can now live in piece.

Iirc, you can’t log into Mastadon with a lemmy account, but there should be a way to follow a mastodon account from a lemmy instance. Never tried it, though.

Edit: Apparently, it’s not possible either. Mastodon users can follow lemmy communities, but not the other way around. 😔

I mean, they’re not wrong. But it’s not tiktok, it’s almost all social media and consequently, 99% of the internet.

There’re multiple things OpenSUSE does differently, when compared to most other distros:

• they enable firewall by default.
• they have automatic testing pipeline, that catches most broken, not-working applications before they’re made available to public.
• if update breaks your setup - you can rollback to previous snapshot in minutes.
• supports both apparmor and selinux.

I'm using metager.org, because I won't trust a closed-source service like DDG or profit-driven company like Brave to not censor their search results.

There’s a separate syntax for quotes in markdown:

> This is a quote.
whole paragraph is still a quote with a single '>'
and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn't it useful?
>
> empty lines should have '>' if they're part of quote

> this is a separate quote, because line above doesn't have '>'

This is a quote. whole paragraph is still a quote with a single ‘>’ and even newlines are preserved and long lines are perfectly soft-wrapped, isn’t it useful?

empty lines should have ‘>’ if they’re part of quote

this is a separate quote, because line above doesn’t have ‘>’

Joplin (FOSS and probably general go-to for cross-platform open source notes in general but is a bit of a memory hog)

This comment describes my frustration with modern software.
How could a note taking app be a memory hog? You could type out a whole War and Piece and it shouldn’t take more than couple megabytes to store it.

I use Librewolf (Firefox fork with enabled protections against trackers and spyware) with uBlock origin. And I had no issues so far with youtube.

P.S. Also, couldn’t remember the last time I saw “please turn off adblock” nagging on random websites… or an ad…

This worked for me, but for OP: don’t forget to enable it back on after login. It’s not required to watch Twitch, only for ‘the first’ login.
