Yep the Pinetime can last for about 2 weeks on Infinitime in my case
It’s likely because of the extra complexity involved in microkernels. Especially like the Hurd, which really didn’t take off because it was too ambitious and Linux was finished faster.
This. Freedom is part of the quality of a program.
Yeah wtf is up with the overridden bitshifts? Was Stroustroup drunk?
This is exactly what it does. It steals code and does not abide by it’s license.
Often it also removes or changes the license/attribution.
Why? Have we forgotten what the purpose of an OS is?
A cloud OS is the stupidest thing I’ve heard this week.
You love to see it.
They should add that command, just to screw up this joke
The… programming community?
I might adopt Rust, I have no hard feelings against it, I just like not fighting with the compiler and having the fastest execution possible.
But hey, even Lemmy needs some hot takes to keep it lively.
Mainly those who imply we should rewrite absolutely everything in Rust.
I’ve also heard that unsafe Rust is even more dangerous than C. I guess that’s probably something to do with the fact that you’re always on your toes in C vs Rust? I don’t know. But if you need to do any sort of manual memory management you’re going to need unsafe Rust.
I’m going to advocate for C here: the sheer simplicity, fast compile times, and power it gives you means it’s not a bad language, even after all these years. Couple that with the fact that everything supports it.
Rust, while I don’t actually know how to write it, seems much more difficult to learn, slower to compile, and if you want to do anything with memory, you have to fight the compiler.
And memory bugs are only a subset of bugs that can be exploited in a program. Pretending Rust means no more exploitation is stupid.
Lmao read the page.
Seriously. It’s infuriating. Everything is so damn dumbed down now it’s ridiculous! People are incapable of doing so much as reading error messages and doing basic troubleshooting, sometimes I wonder where society went wrong. They’re completely helpless with the technology that makes up more and more of our lives, and I hate to see it.
Yes, the users can redistribute however they like. That doesn’t stop you charging an initial fee (and most people would probably rather get software from the official source)
You definitely can. “Free” refers to the freedom of the users, not the freedom of people who might want to be users (that doesn’t even really make sense, how can you provide the freedoms to people who don’t even use the program?).
Great extension.
Okay, I get it. It makes a lot more sense now. Honestly your first comment was word salad.
Another one for the graveyard!
