I always loved the design of the DSi but tge 3DS is up there too! The DSi is just a bit sleeker

That is very very explicitly just the name of technical the specification. Its a documents for people who design usb devices. The tech media failed us by reporting on it like they did.

The spec also explicitly tells us that we should refer to the usb cables/ports/devices as e.g. "USB4 40Gib" or "USB 3 20GiB". So in fact we have easy to understand names but only a few manufacturers actually print that on the boxes or cables.

I love the idea of distrobox/toolbx!

but ive never understood why they by default share the home directory. They still overwrite each others config filesand leave a huge mess in the home dir. And last time i tried it wasn't possible to really isolate things. Has thisimprovesd?

Actually the naming scheme you propose e.g. USB4 80Gb is the real naming scheme! It's officially what the specification demands manufacturers label their products. "USB4 version 2" and so on are explicitly only the names of the internal standards that only concern people writing drivers or designing chips.

I have no idea what tech journalist are smoking. This has been a problems for so many years but they keep using the internal names. I mean nobody is complaining about having to always say "IEEE 802.11bn" instead of WI-FI 8

Reimplements in C

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

change code so it no longer segfaults

still is UB, has arbitrary code execution vulnerability

everybody dies

There are portals: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/desktop-integration.html#portals . they allow secure access to many features. Also any flatpak app still has access to a private app-specific filesystem, just not to the host.

Doesn't work for all applications but for many sand boxing is possible without a loss of features.

Edit: the meme says “closed source” which is patently false for Mongo

~~No, MongoDB is closed source, proprietary software. You might be confusing open source with source available.~~

Edit: Actually I am wrong sorry. Closed source is not the opposite of open source. I didn't read your comment exactly enough. MongoDB is not open source, it's not free software, it is source available and thus not closed source. The things below are still true but don't contradict what you said.

The SSPL is not a free software license and it is not an open source license. The OSI said so:

The only "drama" I recall is that one guy, who ran an unofficial forum, went on a weird rant about how Godot is a scam because he thought development was too slow or something. He then shut down his unofficial forum. That's a long shot from "being destroyed".

But maybe I missed something?

(Edit: I had misspelled "forum" as "form". Sorry if that confused anybody)

I get screen tearing when gaming on x11 so i use wayland and I only switch to x11 if i need to screenshare on discord.

Well it being in the middle of a desert makes it more wasteful.

But yes giant festivals that encourage a lot of travel and needlessly burning things are in general wasteful and potentially excessive. There are other leisure activities, so discouraging festivals is not equivalent to working nonstop.

Tipp for people wanting to get into rechargeable AA and AAAs: get IKEA Ladda batteries and their charger. They are cheap and japanese made. Some people argue that they are just relabeled Panasonic eneloops!

Edit: Oh also if you used rechargeable batteries in the past and you remember them sucking that's probably true. But the battery chemistry is better now and it's possible that your batteries degraded quickly because of "dumb" chargers. Modern chargers like the gray 4 battery Ikea charger detect how and for how long to charge and thus will not ruin the batteries.

I think the explanation was needed. Even if one knows about interrupts, it's easy to misunderstand the meme. For example i thought it was a joke about a person writing assembly and being used to 32 bit code and thus mistyping %rax as %eax, and I've seen another comment here referencing "muscle memory". (Obviously the interrupt interpretation makes way more sense and it's funnier)
