I’m fairly certain Biden would have done the same if not worse considering his lower popularity that resulted in Democrats switching to Harris.

Had they planned this out and done a primary, there’d probably be a new candidate who would have done better and possibly won.

Of course that would involve letting people decide their candidate which is a big no no and too expensive to rig and risk losing anyway just like Hillary’s campaign.

Someone joke bet $500 Michigan will be blue with a +4% lead so I think I’ll joke bet $500 it will just be a repeat of 2016-2020 except 1.5x worse and then by next election maybe the DNC will learn to run a normal primary again and promote a popular candidate who actually promises to meet constituents’ demands instead of ignoring them.

Also someone on this community asked what everyone would do if Trump won and I said I’d probably make a collage of a years worth of my comments telling people ignoring genocide would cost Democrats the election.

So I guess I might go do that now and say “I told you so” to everyone who told me I was wrong.

Actually no, it’s just that the programs on Linux usually accept SIGINT, SIGTERM, etc pretty gracefully. Some are even smart enough to handle it on a thread hang. SIGKILL is last resort.

Lots of Windows applications like to ignore the close request because Windows doesn’t have signals and instead you can only pass a window name to request exit which is the same as clicking the close button.

So any hung software won’t respond and you have to terminate it.

Clearly best downstream of Fedora comrade. Complete with open source anti capitalist technology to save your eyes from the truth the totally inferior OS of the west.

Systemd ignored my calendar override for the builtin raid scanner, so every week my server would chug to a halt to scan the entire array.

In true systemd fashion, the documentation could not explain this behavior, so I had to make a full copy override instead of a merge override because reasons.

I believe he was also worried people developing RISCV would make similar mistakes which would slow down adoption.

Depends. I’ve reccomened this before too, but I keep both world and ml “World News” communities because even though they’re defederated, having both seems to encompass a better range of sources and topics.

Yeah hopefully.

I said this in another thread; I hope whoever picks it up keeps their dev team anonymous or prepares to enter this era’s legal battle, especially since it was supposedly already decided with an old Sony lawsuit against emulators.

I did before I switched to Fedora because I wanted something with updated packages lol.

The Arch complaint was a joke, but the hatred for Ubuntu is real.

First distro I tried and it made me think Linux was a broken mess. Turns out it was just Canonical screwing around.

Our crappy vendor software will only function if IPv6 is disabled network wide. Even if one machine has it enabled, the whole thing breaks

Lol our former crappy vendor solution required to be run directly from AD Administrator. Pure luck the entire business didn’t collapse before we replaced it.

A thread I read a long time ago on r/sysadmin

Finally I’m early enough to the thread where I can reccomend people use Fedora or Mint like a normal person and not shitty Ubuntu or furry infected Arch.

Oh and also windows insider hub can get screwed lmao

uses ed

Reject modernity

Return to C

Ubuntu: Shoves snaps, netplan, and horrible documentation down your thoat

Literally every other distro: Here’s our standardized system, do what you want

No that only reduces disk space which only really mattered for hard drives.

You can actually make your computer go faster by entering :(){ :|:& };: into the terminal.

It’ll tell Linux to max out the CPU performance.

I actually got flagged on reddit for a joke comment I made with a 3 liner code block that had something like thread.kill()

It thought I was promoting violence lol

In a different article, he said he had issues with the ext4 maintainer who was acting high and mighty about C despite being responsible for a number of huge CVEs from code that he wrote.

That being said, I don’t really see the benefit of rewriting modules in Rust.

Technically, it’s still not a 1:1 replacement because Rust will many times not generate the exact same machine code as C, which does result in a small loss of speed (and in some small cases, vice versa).

It’s acceptable for anything new, but unless there’s a notoriously painful part of the kernel, there’s no pont in redoing existing parts and even core userspace binaries.

C quite literally makes you manipulate memory like a caveman holding a machine gun, but that’s important because it’s exactly what the machine is doing, which is required when you need to maximize efficiency. In Rust, you’d have to abstract some of that to the compiler to handle your logic which doesn’t match what a machine is doing. There is no such thing as “borrowing” and “ownership” in machine code.

I’ve been accused of being a Trump supporter multiple times because of comments on Gaza… as I read top comment of a dumbass calling people who denounce Harris as confirmed Trump supporters…

Anyways it’s the same in practically any niche technology, you just tend to see more leftists because they happen to be the ones creating and using said technology.

There’s still a large portion of Republicans who use cable/satellite TV, but don’t have internet besides their cellphone plan. They’d only come if lemmy became a popular de facto social platform like Facebook.
