I remember being upset about the exact same thing when 4G first launched.

OH MAN. I worked on an Android tablet that used a rockchip CPU, not the one listed here but an older one (I think RK3026). What a PIECE OF SHIT. I don’t wish that tablet on my worst enemy. Battery life was like sub 2 hours with a 3200 mAh battery. Sometimes it would start running hot, and you could watch the batter percentage go down one percent every 10-20 seconds. The only way to break it out was to reboot it or let it die.

We later upgraded our CPU to the 3288, one gen older than this one, and it was significantly improved, but still very entry level.

It was my first time using a Linux GUI. I was comfortable with CLI, but it was my first time having it installed on a laptop instead of just sshing into a server somewhere.

So naturally, instead of learning how the GUI worked, I tried changing it to be exactly like Windows. I was doing things like making it so I could double click shell scripts and other code files and they would run instead of opening them up in an editor. I think you see where this is going, but I sure as hell didn’t.

Well, one of my coworkers comes over and asks me to run this code on this device we were developing. We were still in the very early stages of development, we didn’t even have git set up, so he brought the code over on a USB stick. I pop it into my laptop. I went to check it once by opening it in an editor by double clicking on it… Only it ran the code that was written for our device on my laptop instead of opening in an editor.

To this day, I have no idea what it did to fuck my laptop so bad. I spent maybe an hour trying to figure out what was wrong, but I was so inexperienced with Linux, that I decided to just reinstall the OS. I had only installed it the day before anyway, so I wasn’t losing much.

“I’m right, and if anyone disagrees, it’s because they’re brainwashed”

There’s literally no possible way to argue against this type of logic.

I’m a long time Java developer who was recently moved to a project written in Go. All I can say is: What. The. Fuck. I swear, the people who designed the syntax must have been trying to make every wrong decision possible on purpose as a joke. The only think I can think of is that they only made design decisions on the syntax while high on shrooms or something.

Like, why in the actual fuck does the capitalization of a function change the scope??? Who thought that was a good idea? It’s not intuitive AT ALL. Just have a public/private keyword.

In the winter months, I live off of unsweetened herbal tea with no caffeine.

It happens! I moderate [email protected], and recently [email protected] merged with us naturally.

That feeling when you’re not a recent CS grad anymore 😭

I never even heard of rust when I graduated in 2016.

If you have a good IDE, and Java has the best IDEs of any language I have used, then auto complete will take care of most of that for you.

So if I’m understanding correctly, if I created a Sublinks account, theoretically I would see all the same content, and I could use the same app, but it would be more optimized and have some additional features (on the web UI or if the app implemented those features)?

I feel like a very high percentage of posts and comments here are just “Americans bad.” And as an American, even though the things they are complaining about don’t apply to me specifically, it makes me feel very unwelcome.

I’m sorry, I must have responded to the wrong comment. That comment was supposed to be in an entirely different conversation.

Edit: Oh, I just reviewed my inbox. I thought you replied to a different comment of mine. I’m so dumb. Carry on.

How are you closing the program? I don’t mean with the X button on the desktop environment. I mean command line programs.

If no one else has this issue, it could very well be something unique to my internet connection!

It happens constantly both on my laptop (suse) and my Steam Deck (arch). Same exact behavior. I gave up trying to debug it, and I just keep retrying the update command until the list is empty.

My only complaint about flatpak is that updating them fails like 50% of the time for seemingly no reason, and I just have to run the update command over and over until they are all updated.

Thank you! I’ll give this another try this weekend!

What lists do you have? They pretty much all came up for me. I tried it again with ublock origin to compare, but none showed up with ublock origin.

Well, sure. I type on my laptop that doesn’t have any of these as physical keys. It’s fn+arrow keys for pg up, pg down, home, and end, for example.

This is one of the ones I used
