SpaceX has loads of capable engineers. If NASA gets a massive budget increase, they need to draw from that pool of talent.

Discord sure does feel like a 0.0.x version

Even if meth was chemically identical to ADHD meds, the argument still wouldn’t hold. Anything that lessens people’s symptoms without creating even more problems can be a medication.

Disabling it entirely is possible, but I want to keep the encryption and set a proper password for it instead of the stupidly long recovery key. That and similar features seem to be locked behind the pro version.

I can’t even adjust bitlocker settings on my laptop’s windows 11 home Installation…

The WordPress bots really are a bad problem. To stop them from finding my stuff, I always put my homelab sites on an obscure subdomain, and only list a wildcard entry on DNS, but that only really works for sites which should never be indexed by a crawler.

I use Fedora KDE, and I don’t think ive ever seen crashes that bad on my system (AMD CPU and GPU). I used to have a small problem with RADV crashing during video playback, but that solved itself after a few updates.

I wish I could delete that partition for good, but my computer grqphics professor forces me to write code for DirectX instead of Vulkan.

No self-respecting UI designer would ever want to work on that dinosaur of a codebase. The GIMP team is simply unable to do what Blender did, even if they made the UI their number one priority.

Isn’t C just wonderful?

I always try to avoid these, unless the application I’m installing has it’s own package management functionality, like Rustup or Nix. Everything else should be handled by the system package manager.

I could actually see myself contributing to Rust kernel code. C code has always been impossible for me to understand, but the Rust part seems to have a more understandable structure

I will believe you if you show me a credible source which proves your claim

My anxiety, depression, and executive dysfunction prevent me from talking to a therapist and getting a diagnosis. I am so sick of this…

You might have issues with permissions for serial ports on some distros, but there are loads of easy to follow guides for that. Linux definitely handles them better than windows though. I never had issues where they just stop working like on Windows.

Wayland is basically the direct successor to X11. It basically fixes tearing, makes HDR possible, makes scaling way better, and is all-round just better prepared for the future. I’ve been using it for years without much trouble. The only issues I keep having are scripts which expect x11-specific tools to be there, but that seems to be quickly solving itself while people realize that x11 is quickly loosing support. If you want to try it, I recommend setting up a fresh installation of a distro with KDE, Gnome, Sway, or Hyprland, just to make sure all the right dependencies are installed.

Both GIMP 3 RC1 and FreeCAD 1.0 in the same month, damn

Why is this subreddit full of idiots? They are misrepresenting antinatalism so fucking hard.

No way I’m ever gonna trust a company that is chasing profits
