Lol I saw this when it came out and we had another thread (or not, I might be getting DejaVu).

My pet theory for why they did it like this is:

they fired any experienced dev and told a bunch of juniors; whose experience was only in react, to write a TUI. The juniors obviously thought they would code up the backend first because they were like “TUI? What’s that? Some kind of web frontend that looks like the cmd.exe?” and then it was just a terminal-like frontend rendered using a canvas.

What? you expected me to double down? I am trying to make lemmy better than reddit, not worse.

I genuinely thought she died and was relieved she didn’t. Posted to ensure nobody else experiences the roller coaster I did.

Fuck me, right?

Lol, I don’t think anyone would assumed she died

I did and it is kind of disheartening until you learn otherwise. Hence I tried to warn others but apparently people don’t like that?

With how it’s going, Will systemd also eventually be able to occasionally remind my Asian ass that I am a failure?

FYI,

She broke a wrist. So don’t break your hearts.

Hmm sorry for calling you a Rube. You make a fair point.

hey accumulating stuff that you still find use for is better than throwing them away. And you said you give away stuff to other people for their use… which probably saves even more devices from a landfill.

two verbose flags makes it extra verbose

tcpdump intensifies

But what tool did you have in mind?

You’re a rube if you think corporations can’t throw some money at interns do a rewrite in MIT and bypass GPL that way.

The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about “disrupting the market” it’s actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.

The backend is not virtualbox stuff but KVM stuff. Only the frontend is virtualbox. so one can claim that it’s more apt to say this is “virtualbox-ui”

Worst advice ever. Your blood pressure will rise and you will wish you were a farmer.

Don’t hold your breath. Helps avoid disappointment.

You’re ignoring 20+ years of how it was the only player when web wasn’t so big as it is today. It was a major reason windows became the default OS in many offices, and as an extension of that, in the majority of homes in the 2000s to 2015. Thus majority of software industry and video gaming companies made their home in windows. Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, and many other industry software was made to work in Windows first.

There was also the case of Microsoft tilting the playing field by significantly discounting laptop and Desktop OEMs for Windows license keys just to be the sole OS installed on many computers. The concept of a PC was one which was running some version of Windows.

This also lead to another compounding aspect: Piracy of windows software made the windows AD/Server experts of today. Since Linux was free, there wasn’t as much of an intrigue on running it vs. A pirated copy of windows running pirated copy of many software.

but that’s just a choice whereas in C you have no choice but write flawless code.

That takes reading from existing users.

Also not all answers are perennial for a question. So it makes sense to ask them again. In that case, closing a question as duplicate is absurd.

Yeah, that way they also get a 3 hour nap

Oops yeah you’re right. Sorry OP. There’s nothing better than using a database that flushes to disk often enough that missing a small chunk of data due to interruptions should be fine. Probably some kind of memory mapped IO on top of eager writing filesystem should do a good enough job.

I thought someone here had mentioned that the environment and user executing the script at startup and you running the script might have differences. The reason it would have worked with systemd might be that the environment was loaded correctly?
