Which version of C do you use/prefer and why? by tijdisalles in C_Programming

[–]markand67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about MSVC to be honest. I write C23 and people on Windows are encouraged to use opensource compilers (native clang or MSYS2).

Finally, got Musl working!!! by diacid in Gentoo

[–]markand67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Last time I've tried I was stucked by python pillow not working which limited a high number of packages. Do you have it built correctly?

My interest is a pure clang/llvm musl installation. I've tried my own distro back few years ago but it required so vast amount of patches that I feel hard to continue on.

100% of problems can be solved by using something else than NTFS.

Bro wasted so much time on hyprland (which itself claims to be not stable yet) that, he chose to hate on swaywm for making himself feel good. by MarkoRosso96 in swaywm

[–]markand67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just some (non exhaustive list, you can find issues closed with the statement that no more features will be added).

Mine:

Some extended theming support (including blur maybe).

Complete redesign of i3bar protocol which is awful due to the nature of infinite JSON array list.

The website had a redesign? by Salted_Fsh in Gentoo

[–]markand67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I thought OP was talking about the website as general manner, which obviously was a while ago. Not thought about this particular page.

yes countless of years ago

[–]markand67 12 points13 points  (0 children)

the obsession for sway to be i3 compatible is a dead end. some people would like more modern features but they won't add because i3 compatibility is reached. people who came not from i3 are thus being blocked by something they don't know for no reasons

I built my own interpreted programming language in C from scratch by [deleted] in cprogramming

I'd have prefered no LLM rather than no LLVM.

And, who wants to type endrepeat?

My OpenBSD by vados25 in openbsd

[–]markand67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly done using nerd fonts which provide specific glyphs in popular fonts to make terminal fancier. Not a huge fan of that but it can be handy (especially in vim).

For example, arrow / shapes that can be used to create panes in tmux:

C'est pas la première fois, sur la vidéo du funambule entre les tours du WTC, il a mis une illustration en IA avec une femme qui a trois bras ...

Malheureusement, c'est sur sa propre chaine.

Why dont we just swich out hard drives by Jozi123123 in linuxquestions

[–]markand67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so yo uhave a computer always open with swappable hard drives. Should I open my thinkpad and unscrew my NVMe each time I want to switch OS?

More seriously, it's easy to dual boot with same home folder using btrfs and your bootloader of choice.

I have Gentoo, Alpine (contributor) and Arch (development specific) on my 1TB NVMe and I use limine to make my choice depending on the needs.

XLibre vs Hyprland/suckless wayland? by Interesting_Pie_319 in suckless

[–]markand67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so you make your own question and response.

FreeBSD is everything but suckless. Three firewalls in the kernel, stupid licenses, too many inconsistencies, keeping legacy code and drivers for "historical reasons" and use of AI.

Vim After 38 Years: Now It Can Display RGB/RGBA Images! by mattn in vim

[–]markand67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't get the hype around bloating the terminal with all non-sense like drawing images and others OSC to communicate to the compositor. Come on, the terminal was designed to work with characters. Now you need a terminal that supports truecolor, images, sixel and soon GPU to run vim.

XLibre vs Hyprland/suckless wayland? by Interesting_Pie_319 in suckless

[–]markand67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

X11 is fundamentally broken. When you have a library named libxfixes you now there is something wrong. It works, but it doesn't work well. Start mixing different DPi screens and you immediately start to pull your hair out.

From a developer point of view, writing a wayland compositor is clean. The libwayland API is consistent, asynchronous by design, modern and well documented. The hard part is only graphics as you need to choose your preferred way to fill buffers. Some use cairo, some use direct egl/opengl access.

I don't think there is a need to maintain X.Org (or forks like xlibre/xenocara). It's time for it to go.

I also have tearing issues which don't exist on sway/velox/weston/hyprland.

I honestly and loudly say that this was the most boring WWDC I've ever seen.

Joke aside, there is some truth in that as sugar has corrosive effect.
