Just use C. It solves all those problens given the most complicated feature is pointers and those hard aren’t to understand.

257m,

I agree, unless you doing low level stuff where you need absolute control you should use a modern language with proper abstraction just to save time. Most use cases where they use C++ can be replaced with Rust or Go as they aren’t saddled with years tech debt and bloat due to having mantaining backwards compatibility.

257m,

All the others have great suggestions but I’d just like to add there many open source projects out there and given example code of how something is done and letting him play with it can be tremendously helpful. For example finding some simple 3d programs and lettting him change the source code to do whatever he wants or just giving him a template like editor.p5js.org/1alimaze/sketches/IJpxIEME8 which I made when I was first learning and letting him play with the values and add more objects.

257m,

Fuck, now you made me have a loss as well. I am like -900 points in The Game.

257m,

It about a comic called “loss” where which has the same character positions as the rectangles.

I accidently rebooted during pacman update and now my system dosen't show option to boot into endeavour os. Systemd just shows option to boot into firmware interface please help!

I’ve lost everything and I don’t know how to get it back. How can I repair my system all I have is a usb with slax linux. I am freaking out because I had a lot of projects on their that I hadn’t pushed to github as well as my configs and rice. Is there any way to repair my system? Can I get a shell from systemd?

257m, (edited )

Will this work from slax linux? I am sorry if I seem like I can’t fix the issue myself seeing as you have given the resources for me to do so but what would be the exact steps to do that?

257m,

Did systemd or grub not even show up?

257m,

I couldn’t figure out how to mount /dev/sda1 and did pacman -Syu and then I mounted it once I figured it out now pacman says there is nothing to do.

257m,

Nevermind I ran a script that looped through all packages in the output of pacman -Qk and reinstalled them.

257m,

Thank you all for offering advice. I did eventually get it working and repaired all the packages.

257m,

There is a difference between steady and small.

257m,

I ran it on my pc with a gtx 1070 with cuda enabled and compiled with the cuda compile hint but it ran really slowly how do you get it to run fast?

257m,

Thanks I might try that out later.

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts? (sh.itjust.works)

I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well....

257m,

They are used a lot but I don’t think they could be called industry standard. Tons of people run vim, emacs and such aswell the occasional vendor provided IDE. Probably like 60% of software engineers run IntelliJ.

257m,

I used to exclusively use clang but IMO gcc is just as good if not better. Both are pretty bulky but sometimes the LLVM toolchain can feel like bloat. Most of the time GCC is preinstalled on my linux distro so I don’t even need to install it I just git clone my projects and run my Makefiles. The only reason I ever use clang now is on my chromebook because gcc isn’t available through Termux.

Feeder, a RSS reader for Android. It has great UI, is fast at finding and parsing .xml from a link and has a comfortable reading experience. It has basicslly replaced social media for me besides the fediverse. The only thing I wish it had was more customizability. Being able to install Nord theme on it would be great.

257m, (edited )

It downloads the html file as markdown I believe (Or whatever format it uses to store it) and displays it to you in it’s own reader. From the article you can a button to redirect you to the actual site.

Having offline access to the articles is the main reason I use RSS over social media or simply visiting the websites.

257m,

I personally don’t use a RSSifier as all the sites I want to subscribe to tend to have a rss.xml or a atom.xml. There is rss.app which has rss feed generator but I am pretty sure it is not FOSS. Not to mention it uses AI and I don’t like the idea of handing over all the websites I read to a third party company. As for FOSS you would be hard pressed to find one as it is an expensive thing to run. Best thing to do is send a message to the creator of the website you would like a RSS feed. It is not a hard thing to set up and they will probably do it at your request.

257m,

Perhaps nobody says they use it out loud although knowing vim users (and being one myself) they tend to be very willing to share how bad a mouse is for productivity while programming and how using vim is the ultimate solution. As for emacs I only ever have seen greybeards use it and it dosen’t to have had much of a revival with the newer generations.

257m,

That only works when worker are less replaceable and desperate. Their are a lots of open job positions today but most pay less than the cost of living.

257m, (edited )

I’m not saying it’s unhealthly I am just saying they don’t help if they don’t pay above the cost of living. Sure you can get a job paying 15 USD but that isn’t even going to cover rent + utilities. So for now your stuck with your job and don’t have the option to switch.

257m,

Maybe I can help you out. What distro are you using. Did you boot off usb and then install? How did you partition your SSD? Are you able to open a shell prompt?

257m,

I don’t know why this made me giggle so much.

257m,

Foo Fighters are a great band.

257m,

Iceraven + ublock origin and its all gone.

257m,

No, I have never used any of those closed source options. I wanted cloud services I have perfectly good esp32 lying around. And if I get worried about the vendor provided system libraries I can just buy a Raspberry Pi or something.

257m,

Just someone didn’t develop something dosen’t mean they can’t passionately share it. If you like a TV show and started talking about how much you like the show it wouldn’t rude for you to share just because you weren’t the director of the show.

257m,

You can use tldr for man pages but for generic text I don’t know. You would probably need a LLM.

257m, (edited )

I believe Llama is open source but not sure how complicated it is to get running locally. Nevermind: replicate.com/blog/run-llama-locally

You can probably write a bash wrapper around it that feeds in “Can you summarize this text: (text here)” by setting the PROMPT variable the bash script. (Probably just do PROMPT=“Can you summarize this text: $1”) (Obviously don’t recompile everytime so remove the clone build and download code)

257m,

Just to warn you it might be very bulky and the model that the script is downloading is deprecated so you’ll have to find a different .gguf model on hugging face. Try to find a lightweight .gguf model and replace the MODEL variable with it nane as well the rest of the link. Or just download from a browser and move it into the models folder.

257m,

Insert GNU/Linux copypasta here.

257m,

Why do you hexbears start naming calling when someone mildly insults authority? It is the same thing with saying Xi the Pooh. He is an inherently bad person and calling him fat is not racist. You aren’t even communists just tankies.

257m,

Sounds inefficient. You can only store 8 gigs and goes away when you shut off your computer? I just put it on punch cards and feed it into my machine.

257m,

As yes good old M-x-Butterfly.

257m,

FOSS alternatives to Unity exist though. And from my personal experience it looks like Godot seems like the better engine anyways. Not to mention the fact that there is no need for a game engine to create a game. Opengl + a windowing/utility library is ideal.

257m,

Why not just use unsigned int rather than signed int? We rarely have to store times before 1970 in computers and when we do we can just use a different format.

257m,

Just use Iceraven. Addons work great on it. Except for themes for some reason.

257m,

Nethack is also available on termux. I like to play on my Chromebook when at school.

257m,

Yeah the restrictions on Chromebooks are really annoying. Termux is the only way I can actually program on my chromebook and if they remove that I guess it’s time to buy a Thinkpad.

257m, (edited )

And if you want to take the extra step use Librewolf

Is there a proper way to use several DE's on one distro or is it not advised?

I have read many conflicting things, like always. Just wondering if there’s a safe way to use several DE’s on one distro without messing up my damn computer lol I’ve tried it several times and it always messed things up. I’m currently brand new to fedora workstation 38 too btw. Thanks alot

257m,

Your DM should be able to handle multiple DEs just install from command line and pick which DE you want from the DM.

257m,

What dm are you using and what packages did you install?

257m, (edited )

If you want DEEPIN:

Update your system: sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

Install it: sudo dnf group install “Deepin Desktop”

And then after for change reboot your system You can do it from the terminal like: sudo reboot

If you want GNOME try: sudo dnf group install “GNOME Desktop Environment”

Although if: sudo dnf group list hidden -v |grep -i gnome returns nothing it won’t work

If your using gdm you can select DEs like: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/3089b697-a8af-4eed-878b-f9db5be7be94.png

257m,

It might be you don’t have the group for deepin so it wouldn’t be useless to try grepping for it.

257m,

If you would like to use a TUI this you can check out ncurses. Should be a lot simpler than an GUI.

257m,

FOSS > ONCE > SaaS

ONCE is a comprimize but it is not an ideal. I would rather have true freedom to use software as I wish.

257m,

I emailed the NSA’a Electronic Commerce Email this question. I’m waiting for my response.
