You’re suggesting people not be able to run software in kernel mode on their own systems.

I would never run kernel mode anti-cheat, but going down this road will lead to hardware attestation and the end of open computing for anything with online services.

Have you checked all the ethernet links are actually connected at 1G and not 100M?

It’s a trap.

They would still want kernel level anti-cheat in that case.

That’s what I’m talking about though. The stupid changes usually get caught, but you still have someone there who thought it was a good idea.

Something I’ve noticed from working in a big company is that people consistently fail to predict the backlash that their policy changes will cause.

They often don’t even care all that much about the change, and if you point out that people will be upset, they agree that it’s not worth it. They just can’t relate to the people they are impacting.

Something which notifies you whenever a new comment or reply is made to a selected post/comment, so that you can keep track of any new conversation.

Something like this would be awesome as a core Lemmy feature IMO. It would essentially turn a post (or maybe any comment tree?) into a matrix style room. Lemmy is actually decent for long term discussion (e.g. helping someone with a problem), but not if there are more than two people involved.

Companies love getting your money early, especially with higher interest rates, so this only makes sense if the prices are going way up.

I agree. I think it’s the actual sense of community that you need. It’s the reason I can play rec sports or the pub quiz and it’s not constantly ruined by assholes.

You can’t have a sense of community with hundreds of thousands of people in the same queue to play a game.

One thing is for sure: no other fork will have a name this good.

I do agree with you. The current state of things is pretty great.

I have a phone, laptop, desktop, and steam deck. I control the software that runs on all of them, at least down to the bootloader/kernel. If I want to patch a kernel, I can do it. And aside from the phone, I can probably run the majority of the games that have ever been released (on any platform), on any of them.

I worry about two things in the future:

1. Will be able to buy modern hardware without the software it runs being restricted?

2. Will online services used by software be accessible without hardware based attestation?

…computers that are locked down like game consoles, if they have their way.

Why put in extra hours? That’s not high-performance, it’s just doing more than one job, assuming you’re paid for a target number of hours.

Huh, I’ve seen .local used for this quite a bit and only just now realised that it’s meant for something else.

I’ve also seen .corp 🤮

I notice there’s no Lisp on your experience list. I think you better do CL or Scheme (or Emacs even?) instead. :P

Learning lots of different languages is great. Lisp, Haskell, and Assembly especially changed the way I think about code in any language.

I like Rust, but if you did Haskell, the type system is going to feel like a limited version of that. The borrow checker is a cool, unique thing to try out though.

Nim is interesting, but I don’t think it has any unique features that would encourage me to try out. Zig is another one that might be worth considering. It felt a bit like C with Lispy metaprogramming, but it’s been a while since I did anything with it.

What’s the android IDE? To me solving the file permissions thing sounds simpler.

Android should allow you to do something like that with storage scopes.

Edit: I know I’m not answering your question, but I couldn’t find anything like what you were asking for.

OP is looking for a browser based IDE. I don’t think vscode has anything like that.

That is weird.

For anyone else struggling with it, Mirrors Edge actually does end with a song called Still Alive.

Is it weird that I want the nested carrying case as much as any of the other upgrades?
