COBOL itself isn’t really that bad. It’s the lack of modern toolling you’d expect that will make you tear your hair apart. And also JCL. Fuck JCL.

That’s not what I said? You can have both. You are the one closing yourself to art with subtext.
People say a lot more than what their words mean all the time. Having that in art is just part of being made by people.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•is there any reason to try CachyOS over EndeavourOS or are they pretty much the same?English
1·22 days agoMostly programming (when my day job hasn’t drained me of all the energy) and the usual stuff you’d only really do on a desktop and not on a phone, like documents, light image editing and spreadsheets, nothing fancy.

3·22 days agoThanks for the reply! I always nuke the main drive whenever reinstalling anyway so the home folder is not a problem. I guess since you did the same switch as I’m thinking of (and yes, PopOS gave me some headaches I never imagined I’d have in this day and age) I’ll probably follow your recommendation.

1·22 days agoMaybe it is, but almost every time someone does anything other than game they usually are steered away from it.

1·22 days agoI was under the impression that their aggressive pruning of things usually used for workstation tasks would hamper a sane use of it. From what I’ve gathered they even removed the usual python bins that come with most linux distros these days, as an example.

1·22 days agoI don’t really mind at this point, if I’m installing from a package repo of some sorts I prefer using the terminal anyway. It’s mostly if I’m downloading something from the browser that I’d like to be able to just double click, but it’s not a big deal anyway.

Games@lemmy.world•Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’English
60·3 months agoI hope they release the price soon, the discourse on this has become incredibly tiring.

21·3 months agoNo, AAs are crap. Charge your stuff when you go to sleep and you’ll never have problems.

6·4 months agoEvery single “evidence” I’ve ever seen of this genocide ended up as hoax (remember the meat truck?), so I think it’s pretty safe to say it isn’t a thing.

1·4 months agoMaybe you can use credit cards for everything but here it would be expected to be able to, at worst, pay with a direct transfer, and you’d need a banking app for that.

4·4 months agoI mean, unless there’s some alternative that banking apps and such will work on there really isn’t much you can do right?

Linux@lemmy.ml•TIL tar keeps permissions of the files and directories archived if possible.
3·5 months agoI thought that, since users would be different between machines, there’s no point in keeping this kind of information.

Linux@lemmy.ml•TIL tar keeps permissions of the files and directories archived if possible.
4·5 months agoI just assumed that whenever it would be expanded that the contents would have the default permissions for that user.
It’s actually a cool feature I just feel dumb for how long it took me to realize this was the issue.
All of the things you mentioned make the game extremely buggy, so NMS is still ahead.
Except NMS didn’t simply add interiors as useless eye candy like the ED community wants; it has actual gameplay implications other than selling cosmetics.

It’s incredibly interesting how, according to western media, all the ukrainian attacks on russian infrastructure never cause any deaths but russian attacks always cause deaths every time.
