a little bit of exercise is amazing for mental health. just half an hour, 2 or 3 times a week makes a massive difference

totally agree, home cooking from a variety of fresh ingredients is great for your gut and mental health

the deployed architecture of linux is still evolving right now and there are lots of distros experimenting with different approaches

• how the basic core OS is structured - immutability, A/B partitions, versioned rollback
• how third party applications are executed - containerization, compatibilty, virtualization, bare metal
• how software is updated and stored - package management (apt, pacman, nix, flatpak)

i’m sure i’ve missed other features of new linux distros. this is all really important stuff but has nothing to do with the apps you actually use day to day

yes, i have a few Rust framework based sites for mostly personal use

it’s a really good game, and is heavily supported by Valve to keep it good

cheating seems like an issue but i imagine that’s always been the case

started playing with ubuntu around version 6, been using it for various things ever since

honestly never got in the way of me doing what i wanted

so you missed the huge amount of effort going into Servo recently?

is a joke based on that they can’t even type rust without censoring the name “r*st” lol

Tauri gets us quite a long way there

i prefer the upgraded autocomplete analogy but yeah

nice, i encourage satanic panics in software engineering too

i think it’s more like a “significant” step in language design that could make a “huge” leap in software quality

godamn C lovers

Distant Horizons, Skyrim

or “we’ve hit a limit on what our new toy can do and here’s our excuse why it won’t get any better and AGI will never happen”

assuming that “AI” has “reasoning” and using it in applications that require that is dangerous

I think over-selling the “AI” with “reasoning/thinking” language becomes fraudulent and encourages inappropriate/dangerous applications.

good point

the novelty touchpad/numpad combo device on my asus thing also doesn’t work but i’m fine with that

so i guess if you have specific device requirements from the laptop, make sure they do work before buying

in my experience Linux works on any laptop i put it on

buy what you want and give it a go!
