Lauchmelder@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.English6·25 days agoSure the dev doesn’t owe anything, but he is actively putting in the work to remove existing support. Instead of just doing nothing he is sticking it to the linux user by removing support
Edit: I don’t see how removing your own, working PKGBUILD will prevent people from installing broken 3rd party packages and complaining about it in your project.

Dropping support for Linux moving forward is fine, but actively going out of your way to remove the existing support is petty and just an asshole move. Especially when paired with a license that restricts 3rdparty packaging.
Also “this doesn’t work” is a bad reason not to invest the 3 minutes it takes to make an issue template, and it will already decrease the amount of packaging related issues by at least something

GitHub lets you create issue templates and even forms. He could have made it so that every issue creator is warned that packaging issues will be ignored and closed without comment.

Lauchmelder@feddit.orgto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science4·1 month agoI’m not bitching about the existence of code agents in general, I’m bitching about the general attitude of “Code Agents will replace programmers” because no the fuck they are not.
They can produce one-off apps and scripts fairly well to the point where non-programmers can solve their problems (great!) but they lack the necessary sophistication and context to build long-lasting, maintainable and scalable applications, which is what you are hiring developers for in the first place
Lauchmelder@feddit.orgto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Vibe coding takes the "science" out of computer science7·1 month agocorrect, but if you’re paying someone to make you a dish you wouldn’t want them to just slap a frozen fish in the microwave and serve it to you. That’s what using AI to build enterprise applications for customers is like.

Lauchmelder@feddit.orgto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Emma Watson banned from driving for speedingEnglish196·1 month agoI do. Driving 61 instead of 48 km/h increases your distance to stop at an emergency by almost 8m. This is assuming 300ms reaction time. By the time you would have stopped at 48km/h you would still be ramming whatever it is you’re emergency braking for with
40km/h15km/h if you go 61km/h.Speeding is no joke, please read about how braking distance scales with speed. Especially if you go 50km/h in a 30 you’re spelling a death sentence for anyone and anything running into the streets. And no, “they shouldn’t run on the street” is not an argument, children and animals will always do unpredictable things, and being inattentive isn’t a reason to execute someone
Edit: used km/h instead of m/s in my calculations
While we’re on the topic; any decent smart watches out there that
- aren’t made by apple
- don’t harvest my data
- don’t stream everything I do straight to china
? I like the concept of a smart watch, but I haven’t really looked into the ecosystem. Preferably one that just integrates nicely with any android phone
If you stack them enough you can approach light speed as well!

complaining about AI being (sometimes dangerously) wrong is valid. we don’t need more technology polluting the internet with misinformation

Lauchmelder@feddit.orgto World News@lemmy.world•World’s 1.5C climate target ‘deader than a doornail’, experts sayEnglish1·9 months agoDid you read the article?
Current models don’t assume carbon capture technologies to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, they assume interactions with the oceans to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
And yes, 3C will be devastating, but not doing anything will be more devastating, that’s also what the article says. If all lower goals are out of reach we should still aim for 3C because 3C is a lot better than 4C. Saying a certain temperature is devastating is not a useful comment in a scenario where that is the only good option left.
We fucked up, now we must act based on the current situation.
i don’t have an official diagnosis for either, but I find it increasingly concerning how much I relate with the posts in here. maybe I should get screened
