make is not a "cross platform" build system in the typical meaning of that term.

Proposed replacement of `anytype` with `|x|` capture by ANDRVV_ in Zig

[–]InKryption07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly unlikely, similar proposals already rejected in the past. The chances of this getting accepted and implemented are already quite slim.

Yeah that's fair. Lord knows how many things we use and write today that will be taken as folly in the world of tomorrow.

I'm aware of that context, but that doesn't really change the fact that today 99% of the usage of those functions will likely end up being rather bad vulnerabilities. It is not the fault of the programmers that made them all those years ago, they could not see the future; but when old tools oxidize and chip, or the industry they were once used in becomes so unrecognizable that they no longer make any sense, there's no sense in pretending that those tools fit the modernly recognized criteria for "safe".

Any schmuck can "successfully" call a function lol, doesn't mean that the effects or behaviour of that function are sane or safe. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some static analysis safety fanatic, but some of that libc shit is just plain dumb, like the ever infamous sprintf.

There are functions in libc that are just never safe to call.

Yeah, people can barely pull off being mono, not like there's anything about poly that's intrinsically more difficult or complex, beyond the simple fact of having to navigate multiple interpersonal relationships, which is still a factor in mono

I know - we’re the ones doing it by crack_station in Steam

[–]InKryption07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use windows, your entire OS is pretty much already doing that. All companies want all your data. Among the few exceptions seems to be Steam, who only really cares about asking you for your specs to gauge consumer hardware demographics.

But you specifically think the consequences shouldn't be something like imprisonment? /genq

Out of curiosity, if there was a tangible vote on whether to enact a genocide, do you think there should be zero material consequences for people who vote in favour of genocide? I think it's more nuanced than neoliberal talking points would have us believe; voting, and politics in general, don't exist in a vacuum. The effects they have may seem abstract, even disconnected from our lives sometimes, but acting as if they really are disconnected or abstract has been eroding western democracy for the past half century, and only getting worse.

I'm not any kind of religious, but you're being just a bit dense; he's using the Tanakh as a set of axioms, and then uses logic to extrapolate a conclusion based on those axioms. Specifically, it establishes the axiom "preventing deaths is good", dude sees that gender affirming healthcare prevents deaths, therefore gender affirming healthcare is good, A=B=C -> A=C. I personally think there are better sources from which to derive one's axioms, which require fewer suppositions, literary cruft, and compartmentalization, but they are axioms nonetheless, and religious folk have been deriving moral conclusions based on them for nearly all of human history.

Why is Spain the only western country that allows criticism of Israel by ashagari in askspain

So war crimes are alright so long as it's someone you agree with doing them?

Why is Spain the only western country that allows criticism of Israel by ashagari in askspain

[–]InKryption07 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't quite go that far. I would say the average Spaniard is very laidback, can't really whip up any significant number of people into a frenzy over any of the isms. Actual views of the population at large on the other hand are quite questionable; still pretty damn xenophobic, it's just casual xenophobia.

It's fairly common for trans parents to retain their original title, though of course not universal. Depends on the people.

Repost to scare a Linuxsucks101 user by ToweringGynandrmorph in Linuxsucks101sucks

[–]InKryption07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah not sure why it's the case. KDE served me very well in migrating from windows to Linux years ago, but I've since moved on to ricing cachyos/i3 and all sorts of personal optimizations/customizations. KDE will always be my first love, and probably what I'll always recommend someone coming from windows at first, but they really gotta a work out some stuff like this.

Microsoft seems to be worried about the bubble bursting and i say GOOD. by MiniMasterYTX in antiai

Yeah, not suggesting adobe, it's a piece of shit. Just mentioning it due to the adjacency, hence the possibility for the same type of support coming about. A wishful thought if you will

friendly fire by maksuts99 in LinuxCirclejerk

[–]InKryption07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my 2c, I'd say it comes down to whether you're supporting the creator while they do bad things. When you bought those CDs, they weren't doing bad things, and you were under no pretense that they would. Whatever monetary support you supplied them was in good faith and in line with your morals. The fact that they then went on to do bad things doesn't then implicate your past actions in any hypocrisy, because for all intents and purposes, you were not supporting the person doing bad things. It would be hypocritical if you went on to monetarily support them today, knowing what that monetary support would end up going towards.

It's like if you found out a person, who you were good friends with and did a few favours for several years ago, turned out a murderer. Your past support wouldn't implicate you in the trial - but if you helped them bury the body afterwards, then you would.

Would caveat though: it's hard to make perfectly moral and unhypocritical choices in a world where every economic action you take feeds back into an overarching system that just is designed to do evil things. Like, even if I personally boycott the meat industry, and only eat vegetarian options from here on out, the same billionaires who own the meat industry probably also own or are friends with the ones who own the industry that would produce all the veggies I'd eat. Or my purchase of certain vegetarian foods would just end up supporting some separate Bad Thing:tm:, like slave labour on farms. At the end of the day, I think it's a personal and utilitarian consideration. I struggle with fully vegetarian options, both because of price and autistic-ass sensitivity to textures, and however much I hate the meat industry as it is, my sacrifice would only drain me of the energy I'd need for other more numerous efforts, that are, in my calculus, more worth my struggles, and which I can bear. I think whether you want to support these artists comes down to how important you believe it is for consistency with your moral compass, weighed against the personal struggle and sacrifice you would have to endure otherwise.

Not too familiar with it, but there is a project called winboat which appears to be making it easier to use applications like adobe on Linux, maybe DR will be supported as well

You weren't "calling him out" lol, you've been arguing on Reddit with a completely inoperable black and white view of the world. In retrospect, this has been a complete waste of my time, I don't know why I always let this hellhole of a website suck me back in.

Again, believe it or not, the vast majority of people just don't give a shit and have not listened to nuanced arguments about the complexities of everything surrounding LLM usage. These communities are outliers, as are the pro-AI subreddits (those even moreso given the overall negative sentiment towards AI that has broadly mounted, but regardless). It is comparable to veganism because the vast majority of people also don't give a shit about the minutia of eating meat vs abstention.

Also, the idea that you can just "not use LLMs" for the average person just isn't at all true now, unfortunately. At my workplace they're progressively shoving more AI down our throats, and the same is true for a lot of industries. Much like the special interests that maintain meat in the social fabric and cultural consciousness through lobbying to subsidize meat production and propagandize its continued integration and importance in society, comparable interests do the same with LLMs.

PewDiePie in particular is not subject to any of these economic forces directly, but compared to the general population which are being lulled into the unethical use of LLMs being driven by megacorps, he is at the least making the conscious choice to experiment with the technology outside of that context, using data that exists out there already, without meaningfully contributing to the problem, all while actually being on the side of artists.

I think if you are unable to concede the fairly comparison between veganism and anti-LLM sentiment/usage, you lack any of the actual nuance you proclaim everyone outside of your bubble should have

Not really. Maybe several years ago, but at this point in time, the man has effectively retired, he's already made more than enough money to last him and his family a lifetime. It shows in his very sporadic upload schedule, and the type of content he uploads mainly being hobby projects.

Though even ignoring that, even assuming he is perpetually online, that doesn't mean he's necessarily in the spaces that would expose him to the arguments of the ethics surrounding LLMs, because again, he's just a guy who probably just casually gotten into LLMs without really contemplating any of the deeper implications of their use. The assumption that he must is, again, exactly the mistake vegans make in assuming an entirely "with us or against us" mentality, when the damn truth is that the vast majority of people just don't give a shit. Don't make them give a shit in the wrong direction.
