"Rewrite the internet in C"

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 56 points 6 months ago
[-] sandalbucket@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

We could call it … WebAssembly! And now it’s a C compilation target, which means we can run Node.js in the browser, to get a javascript runtime :)

This would somehow be worse than JS

If you are not talking about the past, present and future of Hannah Montana Linux I'm not even talking to you.

yea, no thanks - "the grind" mindset is just capitalism worming itself into your brain

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 6 months ago

yup, but the meme makes fun of that mindset and the original meme template in my opinion

[-] kittenzrulz123 30 points 6 months ago

They also all need to be using librebooted computers (Thinkpad and Optiplex)

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

s/librebooted/canoebooted/

it's honestly quite strange. The Libreboot term has been known for years to refer to the fully free bios project. Then they merged osboot and Libreboot so now libreboot contains proprietary blobs. Then they decided to make a new project canoeboot, which is basically the new libreboot.

so they went from having:

  • osboot
  • libreboot

to having:

  • canoeboot
  • libreboot

All they seemed to have done is confuse.

Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.

[-] summerof69@lemm.ee 31 points 6 months ago

Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.

[-] DriftinGrifter 8 points 6 months ago

average 5 year ubuntu user

[-] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Stalks my post history to find out I use Ubuntu for my daily driver. Didn't mention I've been using Linux since before the twin towers fell and am a long term open source dev and contributor...

Almost like you purposely chose to be deceptive or something. I know it wasn't a choice though, this kind of immorality comes naturally to you and maybe you're not even aware of it. You should try and work on it though, you'll be amazed how much better a life of radical self awareness is.

Isn't it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?

You're affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I'm not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you're a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.

How you feel about it is upto you.

Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?

[-] sus@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago

This is not a joke. If you don't wake up at 4 am to start harassing windows users, you will never become a GNU/Linux Trillionaire.

[-] summerof69@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

I simply envy you because you live in some world where this is the problem worth discussing and getting angry. Or your head is full of shit. It's probably the latter, given that you put people joking about Arch Linux to the same category as racists and misogynists. In this case, I don't envy, but pity you.

Ubuntu sucks. Not because it's for newbies, it's because better, new user friendlier options like mint exist.

Man, I wish there were more people around me who cared about discussing Linux and open source software. Only one person I know actually understands it, but he’s still running windows for games and programming.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 19 points 6 months ago

windows [...] programming.

People drink the Microsoft Kool aid, it's called money, they generally want it.

Then you‘re definitely in the wrong circle. Join a local computer club if that exists. Changes things dramatically.

Don't worry, once the others graduate school, break their arch install, and don't have the free time to reinstall it, they'll like Ubuntu too. 🙂

Every day this sub is in the active feed and I could not be more removed from the intended audience lol

This will continue until you're part of the intended audience.

spoilerOkay, it won't stop even then.

Where Nix/Lix/Auxolotl/NixOS?

[-] sus@programming.dev 18 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

there was only space for 5 things ( *** Debloat Mindset *** )

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 10 points 6 months ago

I'll allow it. But I can't promise anything from the void crowd.

[-] NationProtons@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

I’m running NixOs as a daily driver for a while now. It’s the first time I want to actively convince people to try out a distro. But then I realise most people around me would not want to bother learning how to configure it.

Jokes on you! I'm older than 30!

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Why does nobody just use a basic Gentoo setup? Compiling custom kernels and using tons of use flags And cflags isn't actually going to make your PC faster. Just install the distribution kernel and use march=native.

Hardened gentoo was great when grsecurity had their kernel patches opened freely to the public, but now idk. I'm more into hardenedbsd than anything gentoo nowadays.

[-] Shadowq8@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

honestly open source software is important.

I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don't think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.

Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 7 points 6 months ago

LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.

[-] Failx@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 months ago

Power BI is a different kind of beast though. Soon only available as part of Microsoft Fabric, a SaaS analysis platform. Sure, the technically inclined can use Python/R/Julia with MongoDB, a set of SQL DBs, some CI and Plotly/Dash, but that effectively requires to have some Software- and Data Engineers on staff and some dedicated machines/VMs. Power BI / Fabric is much cheaper for small to medium sized companies outside of IT.

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 5 points 6 months ago

Thats interesting! Thanks for elaborating.

I have never heard of it so I cant say if there is an alternative but I‘m pretty sure being vendor locked like this is MUCH more expensive than using a more complicated bit open solution in the long term.
