While this is probably some bullshit from the horse drawn carriage era, what I’d like to say is that statistically speaking riding shotgun is the most dangerous seat in car crashes, so the saying still works

vivendi@programming.devto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewersEnglish171·2 months agoDude is the living incarnation of Nurgle. If I told you the stories you’d think I’m making them up or smth lmao
There is a reason he’s commonly called asswithmold
vivendi@programming.devto Linux@lemmy.ml•systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated successEnglish11·2 months agoAh but you see, you have to understand the FOSS community a little more than just “using a license that FSF and OSI endorsed”.
In terms of inter-project politics, systemd is almost wholly owned by IBM. They can override any will they want, they can change anything they want, all while fucking the community over. In short, IBM, using systemd as a massive octopus growing it’s tentacles all over mainstream Linux distros, is gaining considerable weight to pull in the Linux world.
They can essentially dictate matters to everyone they want, because you don’t want your distro to stop being supported, do you? And now, another IBM-majority project, GNOME, is almost dependent on systemd (despite the very good word of both gnome and systemd that this wouldn’t happen, IT HAS) and KDE is also being slowly pulled in that direction, with DrKonqi becoming systemd only in it’s latest update.
Essentially, we are handing over 30 years of work in FOSS to IBM, literally the caricature of evil tech company, and now they control the mainstream and can dictate their will.
Allow me to remind you that this same IBM almost immediately after taking over RedHat, started closing down the source sharing of RHEL, which is it’s own whole thing so I digress.
Let my final word be this, R.M.S as much of a problematic piece of shit he is, correctly predicted we being fucked over by DRM and subscription services 20 years ago and was ridiculed for it.
Don’t you think it’s time to take a fucking hint? You don’t have to be an anarchist to see where this is going.
vivendi@programming.devto Linux@lemmy.ml•systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated successEnglish1·2 months agoYou do realize that it’s not a binary between systemd and SysV, right? There are modern replacements for SysV other than systemd, like dinit, OpenRC, s6 and they all strive to address the shortcomings of SysV
vivendi@programming.devto Linux@lemmy.ml•systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated successEnglish2·2 months agoBASED,
Try dinit too. It’s probably the easiest to use alternative to systemd
vivendi@programming.devto Linux@lemmy.ml•systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated successEnglish210·2 months agoExcept, they are. Pottering is the front man who does the dirty work for IBM and Microsoft to take over Linux by forcing distros to adopt systemd.
Those of us old enough to remember the “vote” that resulted in Debian going to Systemd remember it was almost at gunpoint.
Death to systemd, long live FOSS culture
vivendi@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon studyEnglish101·2 months agoHave you tried insulting the AI in the system prompt (as well as other tunes to the system prompt)?
I’m not joking, it really works
For example:
Instead of “You are an intelligent coding assistant…”
“You are an absolute fucking idiot who can barely code…”
Bourgeoisie propaganda
That’s “Bare” NVMe, the linux kernel supports such devices but I really fail to see the fucking point™
Apple of course probably did so to fuck the consumer
NO.
SATA(N) IS BANISHED FROM THIS HOUSE
Edit: wait actually this is dumb. Isn’t every single modern drive IDE, as in they have their controller onboard? The 40 pin connector is PATA
vivendi@programming.devto World News@lemmy.world•New Zealand passes record suspension of lawmakers over hakaEnglish313·3 months agoThis comment right here is the essence of liberal thought
B…but much process! B…b…but muh decorum!!! Please abide the laws we set while we fuck you in the ass!!!
No honey, fuck you and your procedure. Instead of hiding behind a veneer of professionalism fuck off and fix the issue.
Liberals WILL always silence the downtrodden when they no longer play by their rules.
vivendi@programming.devto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The solution to many problemsEnglish25·3 months ago3 whole fucking packs a DAY? Did you even breathe normal air?
vivendi@programming.devto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A great disturbance in the FediverseEnglish7·3 months agoSaw Gererra would’ve thrown you to Bor Gullet for saying shit like this
A battery
A highly complex system with support systems to prevent it from literally blowing up (mmmmm tasty lithium)
A battery management system
A seriously complex piece of model specific code that is usually proprietary and has hardware level bricking fuses (so fuck you if it has a fault)
And also, all the other management shit like regen braking and what have you.
You’re doing a “reduction”. If you reduce literally anything to such high abstraction it seems simple. Yes, quantum physics is also " just " an observation of a continuous system, nothing to it mate
ICE cars can be completely reassembled with a couple of wrenches. The most proprietary thing in the whole system is the ECU, and you can swap that and whatever if you wish to do so.
vivendi@programming.devto Games@lemmy.world•Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt saysEnglish1·3 months agoWhat? The cybernetic system is not a mechanic?
90% of your power train is proprietary electronics that are designed to be opaque and break of you try and “tamper” with them
Most of an ICE car is tangible, rather widely replicable, blocks of metallic alloys
So much easier UNTIL one of the six million proprietary silicon bullshit breaks (or planned obsolescence) and you’re SoL without official manufacturer support.
EVs are a maintainability and reparability nightmare, despite not needing maintenance as often
Anyone crazy enough to design a FOSS EV?
vivendi@programming.devto Games@lemmy.world•Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt saysEnglish24·3 months agoGo play Deus Ex in the same genre, or some cyberpunk based CRPGs. Those games lots of mechanics that play into the game, DXMD’s Augment system wipes it’s ass with Cyberpunk’s Chrome for one.
Also it would help if they didn’t rush the story so much, it was a product of crunch and it shows. You can fix the bugs but you can’t fix fundamental problems with pacing
vivendi@programming.devto Games@lemmy.world•Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt saysEnglish33·3 months agoThere is a HUGE compilation on the subreddit for cyberpunk2077, but basically we got promised a vast, in depth RPG and instead got something mechanically on part with GTA Vice City and Call of Duty
Wood is dogshit bro fuck you smoking
