Way to necro a thread. This point was made months ago.

Yeah wtf is up with the overridden bitshifts? Was Stroustroup drunk?

This is exactly what it does. It steals code and does not abide by it’s license.

Often it also removes or changes the license/attribution.

Why? Have we forgotten what the purpose of an OS is?

A cloud OS is the stupidest thing I’ve heard this week.

The… programming community?

I might adopt Rust, I have no hard feelings against it, I just like not fighting with the compiler and having the fastest execution possible.

But hey, even Lemmy needs some hot takes to keep it lively.

Mainly those who imply we should rewrite absolutely everything in Rust.

I’ve also heard that unsafe Rust is even more dangerous than C. I guess that’s probably something to do with the fact that you’re always on your toes in C vs Rust? I don’t know. But if you need to do any sort of manual memory management you’re going to need unsafe Rust.

I’m going to advocate for C here: the sheer simplicity, fast compile times, and power it gives you means it’s not a bad language, even after all these years. Couple that with the fact that everything supports it.

Rust, while I don’t actually know how to write it, seems much more difficult to learn, slower to compile, and if you want to do anything with memory, you have to fight the compiler.

And memory bugs are only a subset of bugs that can be exploited in a program. Pretending Rust means no more exploitation is stupid.

Yes, the users can redistribute however they like. That doesn’t stop you charging an initial fee (and most people would probably rather get software from the official source)

You definitely can. “Free” refers to the freedom of the users, not the freedom of people who might want to be users (that doesn’t even really make sense, how can you provide the freedoms to people who don’t even use the program?).

Okay, I get it. It makes a lot more sense now. Honestly your first comment was word salad.

???

UK QWERTY, no trouble hitting any keys. $ is not hard to reach, | is a bit annoying since it’s right next to shift, which you need to type it, but it’s not too bad.

I use emacs

Yes, its very famous. It’s also GPLed and Copilot had no right to use it in that way, and strip the license.

Copilot regurgitates code verbatim and strips the licensing (see that one video of it spitting out Quake inverse sqrt). Don’t use it if you care about legality.

I have a few questions:

1. Where will they return to with the whole strip flat?

2. When will the “evacuation zone” stop expanding? Because as far as I’m aware more of the strip is in the zone than out of it.

3. Do you think a power hungry, violent asshole who has stated he will ignore the world court if he doesn’t like what they decide is interested in the wellbeing of anyone but himself and his elite friends?

4. How is it okay to force the most populous region to move further and further south (which was also physically impossible in the time allocated) where there is nowhere for them to stay in the interim, because there might be Hamas among them?

Do you think Palestinians in Gaza will ever be able to return home, in the near or far future, without being killed under the excuse of “it’s an evacuation zone, so they must be Hamas”?

And do you think the “evacuation zone” will ever stop expanding before it encompasses the entirety of Gaza?

Because I’m pretty sure forcefully displacing a people from their home and not allowing them to return qualifies as genocide.

A lot of people are saying this is bad, but for once, I’m on China’s side here.

The faster we pivot away from fossil fuels, the better, by any means necessary.

They also have lobbying and political power, at least in the UK.

Also, it’s not the living monarchs that attract tourists. It’s the buildings, the places, and the history. Just look at France and Versailles. You do know what they did to their monarchy, right? It’s the place and the history, that people go for.
