White House: Future Software Should Be Memory Safe
  • Wasn't Go designed to be a memory safe systems programming language? I haven't really used it enough to see if it holds true, though.

  • I just picked up some games from Humble Bundle that I'm going to play while waiting for Unicorn Overlord to release. I think I'll start on Loop Hero first, but some of the other games in the bundle look interesting too.

  • I'm also struggling with the itch to go back to ER, busy in a similar boat (around the Haligtree entrance, but it's been around a year and I don't think I have the chops anymore). I think I'm going to try and hold out until there's more info on the expansion.

    How Antifascist Moms Are Pushing Back Against the far-Right and Anti-LGBTQ+ Bigots in SoCal
  • Here's the synopsis from the site (since it's a podcast I don't feel bad posting this here):

    In this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we speak with members of Safe Redlands Schools (SRS), a group of antifascist moms who have come together to push back against far-Right and fascist groups attempting to advance an authoritarian agenda in the Southern California area, specifically in local school districts.

    During our discussion, we talk about how these groups, which include far-Right street gangs like the Proud Boys, grew out of far-Right conspiracy theories and reaction to COVID-19 lockdowns, pivoting quickly to opposing “Critical Race Theory” and embracing a politics of gender fascism. As far-Right militants set their sites on the schools boards as a new terrain of confrontation, violence erupted at various meetings, with parents and their children often caught in the middle between politicians, out of town grifters, and their followers in violent far-Right organizations.

    Members of SRS map out how they have built a network of concerned parents across their region, the wide variety of organizing that they engage in within their communities against the far-Right, and why they made the important decision to openly label themselves as “anti-fascist.”

    Windows-as-a-nuisance: How I clean up a “clean install” of Windows 11 and Edge
  • I did this about a year ago and haven't looked back. The only thing that's sometimes a problem is if a game has anti cheat stuff that's super Windows specific, but I wouldn't want to run those things anyway.

    Ayaneo next handheld is going to use SteamOS
  • I made the switch around a year ago and only have a handful of games that don't work.

    I've played with Linux for the last 15-20 years, so I knew what I was getting into, but also things are in a way better state now than they used to be.

    [Game] New Elden Ring patch - fixes broken EAC on Steam Deck
  • It's just hearsay, but I've read a few times that EAC actually makes supporting Linux fairly easy and at almost no cost, but the game companies just don't care

  • I'm still slowly working my way through Rogue Trader. It's a lot of fun, but something about it makes me feel satisfied with a session after around an hour in. It's slowing down my progress, but probably the only thing not leading to me burning out and never actually finishing the game.

    I am getting an itch to play a gag, so I might pause RT, but I'm also afraid I won't end up coming back to it if I do.

  • If voting didn't matter the fascists wouldn't be trying so hard to prevent it.

    I definitely don't want to excuse how ineffective a lot of Democrats have been, but not voting isn't how you change that behavior; getting more involved is.

    Google has started disabling third-party cookies for Chrome users
  • The downside is it makes Google the de facto owner of all of your online information. You could never use a Google product, but because they have such a large market share they'll essentially force every site and platform to use their solution.

    Milei begins dismantling the Argentine State by imposing 300 reforms in a single decree
  • That's very dismissive of the failures the former ruling party had. It's hard to drum up votes for the guy considered responsible for tanking your county's economy and spiking the poverty rate.

    Like I agree, him winning is unfortunate and short sighted, but I think blaming the victims isn't going to do anything other than help asshats like him win.

  • I think the disconnect here is that others are saying "they aren't supporting us," and your response is pretty much "lol, abandon what you're doing and go back to the corporations." A totally fair take, but how you're delivering it comes across as missing their point.

    Also "it works on windows" is a terrible rebuttal in a discussion where you first say "it works fine on x11"

    PlayStation is removing hundreds of Discovery shows that users already purchased
  • I don't think you know what a thought piece is. There is no analysis or opinion from the author.

    Plus when people share their take on it, you just accuse them of parroting talking points. You have added nothing to this conversation past various forms of "you're wrong," with only insults to serve as counter points.

    That said, if you want to try to explain to us why you feel a corporation taking away access to something that was bought is fair and just, I'm all ears and more than willing to have the discussion with you that you claim to want.

  • A lot of interesting things to digest in this thread. I think I've seen a lot of it, but this quote really resonated with me, being in the early wave of the Reddit migration to now:

    So you can't tell, not for sure, how good a platform's systems are for managing that kind of griefing until it gets big enough to really start attracting griefing at scale.

  • I tend to prefer Cats and that's the more commonly used ecosystem at work, but I've heard that the more framework nature of ZIO can be really comfy. I've also used Play, which had some nice things but is starting to feel like it's showing its age and the rough spot Lightbend is in.

    I'm curious to hear what everyone else is using and your hot takes.
