Nah he was saying he was okay with free versions of his app undercutting him before, but calling his paid version a scam caused him to reconsider the policy - threatens revenue

So odd that they released this today. Let’s pray it’s marketing for a relaunch of the series

Nothing wrong with rsync, it’s still kinda the shit. Short script, will do everything

https://git-annex.branchable.com/ this thing extends git to handling lots of big files. Probably a solid choice, haven’t tried, but it claims to do exactly what you need, and even has ui and partial sync

Yeah idk or maybe use the right tool for the job rather than joining cults

Are you high?

Why am I writing this post? Not because I hope for something or believe in change. These are just words. I could write this at the end, but then you would be looking for answers for me while reading, and I don’t need them. They won’t change anything.
So here it is. I don’t claim to be a software development guru or a C language expert. I’m just a simple developer.

What? People stopped using C because it takes forever to write. You’re still stuck adding null terminators to string arrays and stressing about memory leaks and overflows. Even the Linux kernel / Linux Torvalds are moving towards Rust. That’s evolution, and sometimes evolution is messy

Then the rest of your thing seems to be about how people shouldn’t make money from coding? That’s one of the most valuable skills of the information age, and you can become a millionaire in a decade doing it

Just contribute to open source if you want to do some “good deeds”

Nah, ugly ppl still make the music, behind the scenes :p

I think I need more info. It seems like userspace is very hackable, so thus kernel level anti-cheat was born to control stuff like synthetic inputs and manipulation of memory / frame analysis. This anti-cheat would be held together by the fact that the kernel/drivers are proprietary and not very easy to edit. Obviously still possible because it’s on your own computer, but challenging and invasive. Do I have that right?

In which case I don’t see how going back to userspace would help. What is the solution? There probably isn’t one outside of hardware (buying a hacking chip and soldering it in is annoying for most)

When I was doing game dev we focussed on AI-style analytics of user behavior. Of course a good enough bot could always look human. A real cat and mouse game wasting lots of time

Huh wow this has been going for a decade, uses Rust, and is run by the Linux Foundation now? That’s all very hype - seems like they need another couple years, but there is hope! I’m impressed

That’s the best kind of science article. No catchy headline & too complicated even in a summary

Yeah tldr is “rust good”, “ai overrated”, “i only care about the kernel and won’t answer your questions”

Wow this is epic and although intimidating, quite good to read and know

That’s like one thing ML can actually help with XD cute cat

Nope

Hey thanks for the story time, real non-ai human, I value your authentic expression

Or did they jump the train, causing their wives to leave?

Truly a golden era

Arch is perfect, it’s like THE Linux. It’s not really opinionated about anything, it just helps you do it. Hell you can “pacman -S apt” and slowly become a debian

That’s the magic of it: latest software, rolling release, edit some config files, do anything you want, spend half your time tweakin’

Damn that’s a huge problem

I was into this until I realized that it’s not open source and not even available outside of vscode and GitHub web

I’m down but if it can’t handle a 5s dc then rip
