Semi-related (and hopefully if a link is added to the border, this could be implemented as well): some of us hate light mode so much that we set our browsers to force dark mode everywhere. However, in…

What do you mean not usable on Virtualbox? I just spun it up last week and have had only a few minor rendering glitches (that aren't really common for me to hit, either). Edit: now I see that tha…

You don't need a phone to do 2FA. You can use a TOTP desktop app or a Yubikey.

Yes, but I think you'll find that many people tend to resist change, including drastic syntactic changes (as compared to how languages like D iterate on previous languages like C++).

D is completely opensource already ( https://github.com/dlang/dmd ). The "open" of OpenD is just ADR saying that OpenD will be more open to new language features than D h…

Meanwhile Rust is noncompelling due to its syntax. It made a bunch of weird design choices (like putting class methods in separate `impl` blocks) that have ruined my chances of trying to use it for an…

It's pretty much familiarity. If I'd learned Rust back in the day, I'd probably not want to learn C++ for syntax reasons as well. One thing I think Rust gets wrong is classes. I absolut…

The reasoning behind switching to C++ today rather than Rust, Zig, or any other language is familiarity. C++, while it currently doesn't have memory safety, is extremely easy for any C programmer…

Thank you! I will send you an email. I've got a personal server, and I would publicly serve the backup from it, but it's got an awful connection for serving files (only 20ish Mbps up), so th…

I'm now httrack'ing the site. If anybody reads this after April 15, I'm probably not going to be around to read your comments, but you can hit me up on Matrix if you need a copy: @loren…

I've alerted r/DataHoarder to the situation :) I expect some interested person will create an archive on their personal server like I plan to. https://www.reddit.com/r/D…

As I mentioned in my post, I wanted to archive directly to my server and due to the (rather unique) circumstances I wasn't able to run Steam on the server.

I don't use GOG, but somebody on Reddit linked this: https://github.com/MattMills/gog_content_system_downloader …

You could technically profit by selling pirated copies of your games, but please don't :)

It sounds like they are putting fresh paint on the search key that some keyboards already have, whether in the function layer or as a standalone button.

The most hacking I've done to get a Steam game working on openSUSE Tumbleweed is some copypasta sed magic to bypass the Private Division launcher app for Kerbal Space Program 2. Other than that, …

Or you could just set a breakpoint somewhere and edit the values in your debugger. This looks cool but I'm not sure how it is especially superior to functionality that is easily available through…

In C++, I've absolutely had to explicitly use std::endl while debugging to make sure that my debug messages actually were visible when they were supposed to be. Using std::flush also works if you…

Ever since reading Ready Player One, I've been struck by the concept of omnidirectional VR treadmills. These shoes are so much cooler than that. Now all we need are low-profile haptic gloves and …

I'd like to point out that with a good ad blocker, Spotify free tier with the web client is nearly indistinguishable from Spotify Premium.

Linus Torvalds (username torvalds) is pegged at over $220k. Interesting, I'd think having the official GitHub mirror of Linux could arguably put his account worth in the millions.

Merry Christmas you guys! I've only been around here for maybe 2 years, but I've loved every minute of it! Also, a few relevant XKCDs, because of course: https://xkcd.com/361…

John Lennon disagrees: "And so Happy Christmas...." https://genius.com/John-lennon-and-yoko-ono-happy-xmas-war-i... …

Ollama just had AMD support merged. I haven't got it working with my 6700 XT eGPU yet, but I anticipate getting there soon.
