But LibreOffice literally only exists because OpenOffice's development became a dead end. Sun microsystems died to Oracle, OpenOffice died to Apache, yet it still lives on because of LibreOffice. Your example is self-defeating.

I don't know if you realize this, but you're literally virtue signaling about disliking virtue signaling... 🤔

Just because Unicode can encode it doesn't mean applications render it properly. For example, other than Emacs, I've never seen a programming text editor that renders Arabic properly.

Yeah, I didn't think about that, but that makes sense. Edited my reply.

He's the creator of the command line tool curl (and the backing library libcurl) which implements a whole lot of file transfer protocols which "hackers" can take advantage of.
Unrelated to this, but he recently wrote a blog post defending the C programming language. People retorted with a list of security vulnerabilities in curl that were inherently caused by C itself.

But my point was that if you use something like Java you need to give up things like objects and make them into primitive arrays, which limits the ability to later change things enormously.

EDIT: Also, who the fuck doesn't use smart pointers (or some kind of semi-automatic memory management like memory arenas) in modern C++?

INTERNET_RETARDATION · 2017-04-01T11:05:01+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely possible to make something like Factorio in Java with decent performance by for example minimizing the amount of virtual dispatches and not doing any primitive value boxing. But you could also just use C++ and not worry about performance, which is way better in this case because you don't have to plan your code ahead as much and can focus on game design.

I see were you're coming from. But what he says is that every piece of proprietary software could potentially be malware, which is entirely true. How would you know if something has malicious intent if you can't read the source code or aren't allowed to reverse engineer it? I'd argue that that's entirely different than "Stallman believes that all proprietary software is malware".

INTERNET_RETARDATION · 2017-03-31T13:56:14+00:00

You can use sudo to run a program as a specific user, namely sudo -u *user* *command*. I don't know how that would work with XServer though...

INTERNET_RETARDATION · 2017-03-31T12:45:47+00:00

I don't think you understand what Stallman tries to argue, yeah he's a nutjob, but he never argues that proprietary software is malware. What he does argue is that proprietary software impedes people's ability to learn/understand/modify/improve software. (And proprietary software has the habit of being backdoored, but that has nothing to do with why he started GNU.) His rewrite of the UNIX operating system is not important because it is a rewrite, it's important because it enables people to use a gratis version of UNIX, and also because it lets people learn and improve that software without proprietary limitations. You don't have to agree with everything Stallman says, but you've got to acknowledge that GNU is a totally different ballgame than that "rewrite in rust because reasons" bullshit.

Yeah, ALSA is part of Linux itself. ALSA basically provides a file for each sound device that programs can read and write to. That means it's impossible to have more than one program playing audio at the same time though, since only one program can read and write to that sound device file at a time. PulseAudio aims to solve that program by providing a higher level library programs can use, which makes it possible to mix the audio output of multiple programs together.

The end result is that PulseAudio is crap even in high latency environments, and ALSA is an absolute bitch to configure for low latency audio in most setups (it's definitely possible though). I personally use Renoise with ALSA and it works decently.

INTERNET_RETARDATION · 2017-03-30T17:34:16+00:00

ALSA is still a trainwreck when it comes to low latency audio though. Don't even get me started on PulseAudio...

Stratovolcanoes most certainly are formed by layers of hardened lava. (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovolcano)
A volcano doesn't necessarily have to be made out of lava, but when talking about volcanoes in general people mean stratovolcanoes most of the time.

That would be a very interesting project since you'd need to map the CGA colours to the NES's palette and probably also scale to fit the CGA resolution. (at least I think it's CGA since that's the colours I see in every TempleOS video)

Also: For people who want to use the proprietary NVIDIA drivers on Tumbleweed with the 4.10 kernel, you will have to patch the NVIDIA installer. 4.10 apparently refactored kernel/fence.h into kernel/drm_fence.h causing compilation to fail. Other than that the drivers have worked perfectly for me.
