Yes. I talked about screenshots because the first message said:

I can’t see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover.

For “text source only” I’m with you quotes are enough.

And if images are post anywhere, always provide an alt text, plz everyone !

I don’t say “remove the source”, I say “the source can disappear, the way back machine have already been attacked, just do your own copy of the source and make it available”.

I know screenshots can be faked, but if your news source does it it is not reliable. Drop it immediately.

Source can be destroyed. An alternative screenshoot backup/proof is good measure. Especially in web its better to not depend on an outside server.

Like if they close (or some billionaire buy them and requires an account for everything), your content becomes worthless.

First time I hear about checked exceptions. How do you use them ? Are you forced to handle them explicitly ? Is the handling checked at compile time ?

3. Is a modern language with a good build system (It’s like night and day compared to CMake)

Meson exists … as do others.

But they are not the default option. And your new job may not use them.

4. And I just like how the language works (errors as values etc.)

Fair enough; though why? What’s wrong with exceptions?

Exceptions is a non standard exit point. And by “non standard” I’m not talking about the language but about its surprise appearance not specified in the prototype. Calling double foo(); you don’t know if you should try/catch it, against which exceptions, is it an internal function that may throw 10 level deep ?

By contrast fn foo() -> Result<f64, Error> in rRst tell you the function may fail. You can inspect the error type if you want to handle it. But the true power of Result in Rust (and Option) is that you have a lot of ergonomic ways to handle the bad case and you are forced to plan for it so you cannot use a bad value thinking it’s good:

• foo().unwrap() panic in case of error (see also expect)
• foo().unwrap_or_default() to ignore the error and continue the happy path with 0.0
• foo().unwrap_or(13.37) to use your default
• foo()? to return with the error and let the parent handle it, maybe

From the article’s own summary.

False Load Output Prediction and Speculative Load Address Prediction allow for data leaks without malware infection

But I guess “IA summary” did its best ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks to valve/proton, the biggest issue for playing on linux nowadays is the kernel level anti-cheat they force on some competitive games.

Other than that most of the games just work, especially if they were made in a common engine (godot, unity, ue, …)

The only AAA I play are Nintendo ones (and RTS/MOBA since its a niche genre and you need a community for PvP). Since quite some times already. But I only look out for indies, I love getting new experiences and gameplay.

And even when the gameplay is not new, the attention to details (gameplay wise) is at 1000% only on indies (Celeste, Hollow knight, Factorio, …)

I’m on Linux and a prebuit PC would be a nice change. But at the same price or lower than Windaube, since I don’t want a licence for them.

I will prefer to build myself rather than paying an extra k…

Did you tried UnCiv ? Feels like garbage to play to me. Maybe it is just too complete for my mobile game sessions… (And I don’t really like civilisation turn based games anymore.)

Mindustry (factorio like) plays badly on mobile (everything is too small, touch is not precise need to zoom a lot but you don’t see anything/can’t build long belt that way). But now I want to play it on PC.

On the other hand, Feudal Tactics is really nice to play on mobile.

Apparently stow -t exist too.

1. You need a license
2. usage should just be help (avoid extra step)
3. connect does not exist (see add and cmd list)
4. You can git clone <REPO> <DEST FOLDER>, no need to cd
5. maybeCreateDir is not used each time, there are some mkdir
6. “changes” is not a helpfull commit message. Accept an optional argument string and {MESSAGE:=change}
7. Accept a different repo path
8. set -euxo pipefail at the start of the script if you want to exit at any error. Some sort of bash strict mode
9. shellcheck does not like iterating over ls’s output

I’m too lazy to open issues/PR for all that, and I still need to learn stow. Hopfully this might help me ? (I don’t really need help with git that this sçript look to abstract too much for me.)

Sadly I can’t recommand pop-os. In 2 years, the updates broke twice on me.

The resolutions where simple enough if you can use the command line to run sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade. But the GUI shop updater just crashed on me without the apt error message visible.

It is a nice distro overall with which you can even try tiled windows without commiting to it.

-> pop-os is nice but it may break from times to times. So if (like me or most dev) you are ok with the CLI and just a bit of fixes from times to times then go for it. But if you are affraid of the CLI or never want to fix anything, then some other distro may be a better choice.

I know simple fossify apps are appreciated by the comminity. I have yet to try them. I like Etar as a calendar. It is also on FDroid
