Meep :3
They/Them, also “It” when a critter I like is being cute ior affectionate about it :3 Very cute, but also weird and sometimes kinda sharp
Hates this world, hates being stuck in it. Needs rescuing, needs understanding. Not happening. Only misery and extension of said misery happening.

  • Kinda annoying that “top” always means “most popular” for these things :-\ I guess I don’t really have a specific idea of what other meaning would be best but it still seems kinda ridiculous to rank programming languages by popularity. I guess it’s an engineer-brained thing to think of them as having different uses and purposes rather than being interchangeable business tools 🤮 but to me it’s kinda like looking at spoken languages by popularity but you still wanna go on vacation or go live somewhere with an unpopular native language. Like, oh look, Spanish is popular so I’ma learn that but also never go anywhere I’d expect people to speak it, so I’ll be in Finland or something (in my dreams, where I actually can visit places v.v ) all “Habla español? Perkele!” over and over until they throw me out 😅

    Edit: Just thought to check, a cursory glance suggests “español” doesn’t get capitalized in Spanish, which I don’t actually know 😅 My Finnish is much better, as I know most of the common curses and a few of the words that go between them.


  • Sounds super cool :o … Am still kinda salty about M$ blocking my account and holding my copy of Minecraft (that I paid Mojang for, well before it was Microsoft’s!) hostage because they want my phone number, though. 😠

    … Also I kinda wanna know if it’s got the moddage I love about Minecraft, but am afraid to ask because I’m stuck on a laptop that can’t really run much without getting all melty 😅






  • so-called AI

    knows its own limits

    frustration noises It knows nothing! It’s not intelligent. It doesn’t understand anything. Attempts to keep those things acting within expected/desired lines fail constantly, and not always due to malice. This project’s concept reeks of laziness and trend-following. Instead of a futile effort to make a text generator reliably produce either an error or correct code, they should perhaps put that effort into writing a transpiler built on knowable, understandable rules. … Oh, and just hire a damn Rust dev. They’re climbing up the walls looking to Rust-ify everything, just let them do it.

    I think licensing may have something to do with it. A proprietary licence will typically prohibit decompilation so if you do it, you’re in violation of the licence. Whether that’s enforceable… Idunno. Often just writing a rule down will make people averse to testing it. Software under a non-proprietary licence probably comes with the source code to begin with, so there’s no need. This leaves a relatively small useful area for this technique, where people either don’t mind being in potential legal trouble (or just losing their licence to use a particular piece of software) or are interested in a specific few pieces of software that don’t offer source but allow sortof digging it out of the binary directly.





  • It’s been ages but I remember Funtoo as a kinda quirky, opinionated (I think/hope that’s the right term? 😅 ) fork/offshoot of Gentoo by Gentoo’s originator that was intended to do things in ways deemed more sensible and allow more authority by the user. The only specific thing I remember is they dumped systemd or at least allowed building a system that didn’t use it.* 🤷 I only tried it once and not for long so that’s all I’ve got, sorry 😅

    * Very bad memory on my part, should probably have just said something something systemd or such 😅



  • Wow, I’d no idea it was something like that. Had assumed it was some technical direction complaint where Hyprland couldn’t go where its leadership wanted because of how wlroots was being made… nooope!

    re-rewrite Okay I’ve done more looking and according to Vaxry there are technical reasons. Just… no one’s talking about them. It’s just “ooooh 🤤 wow so impressive rewriting wlroots!” and a little bit of back-and-forth over, basically, whether Hyprland’s community is full of bigots or just likes keeping its fruit cold (see: freeze peach). Very weird situation, in terms of this news. I’d expect to see discussion of the merits of this change (which, again, Vaxry did… if you go find that blog post!). 🤷

    tl;dr: Looks like Vaxry wanted to replace wlroots for tech reasons and does not interact with hunams well. Hyprland community probably crap, probably why FreeDesktop kicked him. 🤷

    wanders off very shruggily



  • Thankies :3 It’s definitely cute ;P

    I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn’t think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we’ve gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I’ll just assume it’s because all of those people are techbros who’ve been bitten by mice and can’t even bring themselves to talk about it.
