I got that coffee script reference

What a mad lad. His legend is spoken to this day

having a stable base helps. Also, config breakage can happen without user intervention. See Gentoo or Arch’s NOTICE updates

That’s the same on ANY platform, but windows is far worse because most apps ship a DLL and -never- update the damn thing. With Linux, it’s a little bit more transparent. (edit: unless you do the stupid shit and link statically, but again in the brave new world of Rust and Go having 500 Mb binaries for a 5 Kb program is acceptable)

Also, applications use the API/ABI of a particular library. Now, if the developers of the said library actually change something in the library’s behavior with an update, your app won’t work it no more unless you go and actually update your own code and find everything that’s broken.

So as you can understand, this is a maintenance burden. A lot of apps delegate this to a later time, or something that happens sometimes with FOSS is that the app goes unmaintained somewhat, or in some cases the app customizes the library so much, that you just can’t update that shit anymore. So you fix on a particular version of the library.

Because the older alternatives are hacky, laggy, buggy, and quite fundamentally insecure. X.Org’s whole architecture is a mess, you practically have to go around the damn thing to work it (GLX). It should’ve been killed in 2005 when desktop compositing was starting to grow, but the FOSS community has a way with not updating standards fast enough.

Hell, that’s kinda the reason OpenGL died a slow death, GL3 had it released properly would’ve changed everything

Debian systems are verified to work properly without subtle config breakages. You can run Debian practically unattended for a decade and it’s chug along. For people who prefer their device to actually work, and not just be a maintenance princess, it’s ideal.

VSCode with a shitload of extensions pretty much does the job

First car’s like the first girl. You always get new sweethearts but shit just ain’t feel like the first time you fall in love.

Believe it or not deadlocks aren’t indigenous to modern era afor Americans

Fuck

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

It has a special place for me because a long time ago, when I was younger, I had R&C Size Matters as the only game on my PSP and that’s because I bought the PSP in a bundle

And that was the only R&C game I played until Rift Apart and that shit hit me like that scene in the end of Ratatouille mfer

This just oozes pure American energy

I literally have the opposite experience with the phone thing lmfao

at some point I had a calculator (one of those slick 1990s casios) in my pocket, that king of looked like a phone. When I was passing one of the admins, I actually thought she thinks I have a phone in my pocket, so I gestured to it to say it’s a calculator which she misinterpreted as me somehow boasting that I got a phone, so she was like “Oh so you got a phone, so what? Everyone does nowadays”

Hmmm maybe you’re right actually

Bull fucking shit if you used windows in the old days you must have had a foot stuck up MSDOS 's 16bit ass

Well shit, Open Source Bus Theory has some merits

Rest in Peace

Oh no fuck that. I live in a country where fucking roadside peddlers and adjacent businesses have basically turned the street into their business and I can easily say I prefer the cars. It’s fucking terrible.

Get off your high horse bike and fuck off somewhere

You should just keep to Linux Mint if you don’t want to learn distro config inside and out, it’s literally what it’s designed for, don’t listen to trolls who say you should run fucking Arch

(Debian is not easy as well. Ubuntu exists because Debian was too hard to install lol actually if you deep down inside it’s even more complicated)
