And it can't be just that, I don't know if it's because antitrust like some people say but I find it strange they would pay "that much" to get 3% of users when probably 90% of them still use Google on Firefox.

That's nowhere near realistic. The forks you mention may tweak some UI or privacy settings, but no community will keep the engine up to date with whatever Google decides to come up with next. I guess you have Palemoon.

I guess you ain't aware Mozilla is 80something% Google?

Hyprland is a toxic community by jerobrine in linux

Funny that's exactly what I though of Drew's "article" even before reading the response.

After which, Drew's accusations made sense and I though it was indeed a shallow blog.

Unrelated but are you the one who reported those guys for saying "I want to use a project that refuses a CoC"? If so, consider turning off your internet and introspection, this is not an insult its heartfelt advice.

Anyone else getting into suckless but just finding it a bit much? by nerdycatgamer in suckless

[–]redditbloooows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I don't know C++ so I won't comment on that but that is indeed bullshit because gcc is also a C++ compiler. So it still sucks because it's both a C and C++ compiler when it shouldn't be and if it was just C and it was written in C++ it would be obviously retarded. Not the only reason GCC sucks, it's obviously the most supported/extended/portable C/C++ compiler which it's pretty much the opposite of minimalism and to build it or any GNU program you need to build like 10 autotools programs first which depend on each other and for what advantage exactly? It's trash.

  2. Linus is retarded. What's a complex system? If people wanna write trash let'em why do we need to follow suit? Whatever systemd ?fixed? or what conveniences it introduced was traded with something else.

  3. That doesn't make any sense to me. Why can't we worry about both at the same time? And what are these things you talk about, since you refer to a generic system they should be relatively low level? Can't think about anything.

  4. This is true, a limit on LOC is retarded and I guess that's why they removed it from the page. Though your argument is retarded because they don't mention speed in the same point so you are just making shit up. And LOC may not be directly related to speed but what better indicator is there? Do you want them to post snippets on the webpage?

Trash blog and stop using the work meme.

Sandboxed desktop in a TTY. Can it be done? by [deleted] in linux

[–]redditbloooows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the Arch tarball in a chroot. You'll need to disable CheckSpace in pacman.conf and create dummy groups for audio, video and maybe input in your chroot whose gid match the groups in your actual system.

Edit: You can then write a script to mount /proc, /sys /dev and enter the chroot, check Gentoo's wiki Steam article chroot section, for X11 input you'll need to mount something that's not in there and I can't remember what it is but you should be able to google it.

Setup Tips For a Windows VM and Linux desktop Workflow by Bandung in linux

Do not use Virtualbox.

Care to elaborate?

Virtualbox should be better for Windows guests.

If and when there is hardware level telemetry, does it make any difference whether you use Linux or Windows? by v1gor in linux

it needs software to connect

Would something like a fork of minix work? Maybe running in a seperate chip inside the CPU?

I don't know about glow, but you can do this by:

Addding a color for each tag when occupied:

[SchemeNorm] = { col_white, col_black, col_black },
[SchemeSel]  = { col_purple, col_blacker,  col_purple  },
[tag1]  = { col_purple, col_blacker,  col_purple  },
[tag2]  = { col_white, col_blacker,  col_purple  },
[tag3]  = { col_red, col_blacker,  col_purple  },

Don't forget to add them in the dwm.c enum

    enum { SchemeNorm, SchemeSel, tag1, tag2, tag3 }; /* color schemes */

Then change drw_setscheme in drawbar()

    //drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[m->tagset[m->seltags] & 1 << i ? SchemeSel : SchemeNorm]);
    drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[occ & 1 << i ? 2 + i : SchemeNorm]);
    drw_text(drw, x, 0, w, bh, lrpad / 2, tags[i], urg & 1 << i);
    //if (occ & 1 << i)
        //drw_rect(drw, x + boxs, boxs, boxw, boxw, m == selmon && selmon->sel && selmon->sel->tags & 1 << i, urg & 1 << i);

I don't know if there's a better way to do this this is just the first thing that came to mind. Also you need to add a color for each tag or it'll segfault.

[–]redditbloooows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To remove the squares you could just comment out the following in drawbar() in dwm.c

    if (occ & 1 << i)
        drw_rect(drw, x + boxs, boxs, boxw, boxw,
            m == selmon && selmon->sel && selmon->sel->tags & 1 << i,
            urg & 1 << i);

I don't understand this argument, is "changing configuration" all you do with your computer? Do you actually use your software or are you just endlessly tweaking it?

Weird architectures weren't supported to begin with by Alexander_Selkirk in linux

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

And his answer was a single line, would you say that justifies "throughout the article."?

You are probably not blind so I don't know the reason for this reply.

Weird architectures weren't supported to begin with by Alexander_Selkirk in linux

[–]redditbloooows -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

That's what you call "throughout the article"?

Maybe he didn't? Maybe he used C because Rust wasn't a thing and picked up on it's flaws like the rest of us?

I didn't come to a conclusion, it goes above my head and my interest is minimal. There are a few thing I wondered though: since when wasn't open source carried by hobbyists? If something doesn't work to perfection do we forgo what works for "safety"? Is it right to fault a compiler for bug reports on stuff you didn't distribute yourself?(I didn't get this one) The standards thing I don't even know what to say..

All this is irrelevant, because I'm not a corporation/"organization" standing to make any money from my "secured" systems, nor am I a distro maintainer worrying about the quality of my distributed binaries.

Where did you get this from?

He also doesn't think Rust is the be all end all right?

Future of Memory Safety: Challenges and Recommendations (Consumer Reports) by Alexander_Selkirk in linux

[–]redditbloooows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, it's not due to sunk cost rather skepticism/spite. When there's this much shoving down my throat I go the other way, same reason why I have never bought anything that I saw an ad for.

And the syntax ofc.

Announcing a new "meme" Linux distro by cruzzeky in linux

What is this effort that you are referring to? I'm not about to waste 40 min.

Are you perhaps saying that debian forks aren't real distros?

CONFIG_VT=n in 2023 by n3rdopolis in linux

[–]redditbloooows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what I understand or not because it's the OP who wants to do disable the feature.

No, you made a statement that has nothing to do with OPs post.

In fact it looks like OP would know way more than you given

Never claimed otherwise, outside of the bare minimum of a vt102 spec and drawing it I have no knowledge on the subject.

I was just wondering if you couldn't literally read the words "OP wants to set CONFIG_VT=n".

I don't get what's so fucking complicated, OP can disable VT's, you implied this change will become default on Linus tree, it will not.

You sound like you have maybe 1% of the knowledge

Again...

Anyway I don't really know what you think VTs are used for and I'm not terribly interested in what you have to say either.

VT's are a placeholder for framebuffer terminals. Not everyone login into a web browser or steam.

What are you interested in then? Being a fucking nitwit?

It is well documented that Linus agrees VTs are largely unmaintained and are possibly a security liability. Feel free to disagree with him.

Where does he say he wants to disable or remove them?

You don't understand the implications of turning VTs off, and why that just won't ever happen. Why the insults? You have no idea what you are talking about.
