incineration

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

C++ devs would literally do anything before using Rust

Sure 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.

Then explain to me how the bazillion other open source cross-platform Windows-first projects do it. 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

Seems like a skill issue on the part of the dev. 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.

“We tried nothing so far and are going for the nuclear option first”

I notice that once I start reading I really enjoy it, but it’s always a chore to even bring myself to pick up a book. Even ones I’ve already started reading and enjoyed, I find difficult to pick back up. I’m not doing anything useful with my time either, my attention keeps getting hogged by YouTube et al :(

I 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/h 15km/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
