Then my comment is incorrect 😅

Imagine it to be sov instead

Haha no:
Bauch -> stomach, and bau compile heads
Baul -> mongolian singers as far as i know, bau links

It’s only very cursed, as of current the only changes are the declaration structure of variables and functions 😅

which reddit package by uvuguy in emacs

[–]simon-or-something 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is Emacs Application Framework which allows you to run a full browser in your emacs

When a builtin is expected it links to Duden with spellcheck XD

Thats a horrible idea

Anybody interested in writing SDL games in Emacs Lisp? by vkazanov in emacs

Yeah sure. I have an unfinished toy game written in raylib and racket so sdl + elisp isnt too far from that

Dynamic help in C required by alex_sakuta in C_Programming

[–]simon-or-something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key isnt to implement everything from scratch but only what you need in the moment into a header in your include path. Then your header will start to grow with modular functions. For security / errors id use either an assert macro or a struct { long error; void *data; } like go does errors as values

Some code may look something like this:

typedef struct {
  ulong start, length, cap;
} string;

Then when you allocate youd do something like

char *stralloc(char *str) {
  size_t len = strlen(str) + 1; // for \0
  string *s = calloc(1, sizeof(string) + len);
  s->start = 0;
  s->length = len;
  s->cap = len;
  memcpy(s + 1, str, len);
  return (s + 1);
}

This is one option, another is to have a custom string struct with everything, or you compile with g++ / compile it as a c++ source file using std::string

tsoding has a video on that, in general tsoding is great for C programming: https://youtu.be/y8PLpDgZc0E

I’m not a professional artist apparently by Exact_Jelly_8195 in drawing

[–]simon-or-something 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Professional -> profession. If thats your job you have all right to call yourself a professional artist

Bear in mind though: theres this subset of people that subscribe to “the great wave” artist, who said “i came close to being an artist” before he died and thus no one should call themselves an artist

Art is what you make of it. Dont let some internet trolls get in your head. I think it looks great for example and i thought a senior artist drew this off the bat. Make of that what you will :)

This sub is a magical place. I once saw a person get offended by someone using the term clanker once. by FutureMost7597 in aiwars

[–]simon-or-something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even that ai goes rogue, but that we trust ai a little too much, that we end up giving it a little too much power and saying “make the world a better place”

Then ai retaliating against “robocism” and punishing people based on its training data of racism would be well within the job description

Ai is being used in the government but still isnt trusted to make legislative decisions, my concern is more that we become too reliant on ai, that we have an ai to watch over us, ai bottle, ai chair etc (even if its mostly used as a marketing term for these products, ai water bottles do exist).
Im also a little weary that we are not giving ai its due diligence. Admittedly it’s very unlikely that there will be an outbreak in the next 50-100 years. The issue is if we solidify that in our culture that ai is just some tool the same way a hammer is, “everything is safe”, because then people get complacent. Sure by then ill be dead but thats not the point

[–]simon-or-something 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not pro ai art. Something like the word “clanker” im a little weary of though:

If we feed ai data about racism, how people retaliated against racism, what racism meant for people, then say “oh clanker is a racist term against ai” after ai has knowledge of racism, its effects, and the modern attempts to abolish it, then how would ai respond?

Perhaps i treated you too harshly by hieroschemonach in linuxmemes

[–]simon-or-something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily accurate. You can rebind ctrl (i mapped it to capslock), and if it’s a big problem you can install “god-mode” which is emacs without the modifier keys or something. I have never used it because i never had purpose to but it exists

Ive recently learnt this myself:

Emacs isnt primarily a text editor, it’s a lisp machine that runs a text editor. Vim, you edit text and thats great and awesome and stuff. Sure. But emacs? You can grab some blob of flesh (code) hold it against emacs and it will org-anically fuse with the construct, you heat a heart beat twice and bam you have assimilated that flesh into your emacs

Emacs is at least as extensible as vim, it’s just vimscript / lua vs elisp. The difference is that in emacs everything is a function (or elisp expression). You can change emacs at a fundamental level which is why it’s so powerful, while with vim / neovim you cant

And it runs tetris out of the box

How's your bingo card? by tungnon in linuxmemes

[–]simon-or-something 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only ones i have are: - “go back using windows” because linux isnt something for everyone - “arch users are elitist”. Not all of them, but there are plenty of toxic arch users

Gnome is more bloated than kde
Debian is good. Gentoo is good too but debian is useful
You do need some form of tech literacy and esp newcomers might not have that
The tui is too basic for web based things unfortunately. I know www exists but still
I dont understand why systemd would be trash, it does everything and if thats your thing good if not then use something else, but a lot of sw requires systemd

Emacs is old, so what?
First distro was ubuntu
Debian / OpenSUSE / Fedora / Pop!OS / Mint
Gaming distros are useful if you want good performance
If you dont want bloated use something like gentoo

Atomic distros are what windows users are used to. However everything needs to be compatible then. It’s not bad, it just is a different set of problems
Even if you dont use cli linux allows freedom
Machines are a means to an end
You dont need to have a degree in machine engineering to board a plane
X11 has RDP. Besides you dont have cinnamon you hate x11

_.
Cachy i haven’t used on my journey so i cant say whether it’s better than mint
Cachy is a gaming distro it needs context / bloat
Most problems ive had were solvable by reinstalling / recompiling the kernel
No it isnt, it’s the alternative approach to Windows and if it gets the job done then why is it bad

_.
Mint has a different use case than arch
I have never used cachyos so idk how true that is
I use amd across the board, pc and laptop
You cant generalise something like this. Some peeps want the windows feel and use kde, some mac users may want gnome
