flatpaks can do that, but appimages are probably more what you’re looking for. most distros have the required appimage libraries to allow them to run. flatpaks are a bit less portable in my experience but there still just single bundles that you can save to a thumbdrive

once got interviewed by a guy who used to be lead dev on the classic F1 games (pre EA) and nowadays he just runs a team that makes horse racing simulations for casinos.

of there was proof that chickens could contribute to the Ecmascript standard I would probably stop being vegan tbf

There’s probably more at play, but the govt is willing to back companies offering loans to cover higher and higher tuition costs, so said companies haven’t got to worry if the loans default or don’t return the full amount - it’s about setting an exorbitant “graduate tax” to keep a permanent stream of guaranteed income for as long as possible.

Higher loans means more repayments, and more money for universities, so they both raise tuition higher and higher to meet the limits of students. as long as banks or govt don’t ever ask for their loans back (which they won’t because it’ll collapse the whole system and possibly the economy with it) the price can inflate at much at it likes.

the same is at play in the UK, only we have “tuition caps” that every university course sets their prices to because there is simply no benefit to charging less, and no downside to charging more. Everyone can get a loan, no one is denied, and the government backs this process because it is essentially being held at ransom.

I know I turned it into a rant about UK education but the financial systems feel very similar. There’s simply too much money held up in a make believe cycle of IOUs that would immediately collapse a huge chunk of the American system if anyone willingly let it pop.

The only problem with this is that eventually it might just pop on its own, and no one will be ready.

web Devs aren’t ignorant to optimizing but the kind of interfaces used in web are very different to that of desktop. Cross platform technologies can work, but anything built on top of web engines is going to be a little dogshit on native platforms.

Web tech was designed around the asynchronous and comparatively slow nature of the network. Now, those same layout and rendering engines are being shoehorned into an environment where the “server” is your local disk so it’s suddenly doing a bunch of work that was intended to be done iteratively.

Same goes the other way of course. Software designed for “native first” experiences like Flutter aren’t as popular in web dev because they work on that same, but reversed, assumption of a local disk being your source.

It would be like wondering why physical game disks aren’t popular on PC - it’s a fundamentally different technology for fundamentally different expectations and needs.

I know people complain about Nvidia and Linux but one of the best parts of my experience with it was never having to deal with GFE. Just a bunch of project managers trying to make themselves useful by shovelling needless slop into your GPU driver.

unless they’re organised by Luigi or his family I’m convinced these are just opportunistic scammers. better for everyone to keep them off gfm

So 90% of “AI” brands

Mauritius won’t get the rights to .io, it’s already held by a British corporation. Unless there’s some kind of change since then.

The top-level domains for the soviet union still exist, so io isn’t gonna go, especially since it’s so popular

IP and copyright laws have been the bane of the internet. Not only stifling fair use but it has become nothing but weaponised for corporate warfare. the DMCA isn’t fit for purpose.

both are parasites.

Reddit ahh Lemmy instance

A few adjustments to his policies may be necessary

>cool CPU to 0 Kelvin

>CPU stops working

yeah I guess you’re right

Different scenario but maybe it’ll help your vibe. I used to take sertraline and accidentally took a double dose (200mg instead of 100mg) and while I initially was like ah fuck I might die I was also as close to stoned you can get on antidepressants to the point where I think I would’ve accepted it.

lol nice try NZXT
