Have you tried using a VM? That's what I do when I want to test cross platform. The benefit being you can just re-create it whenever it starts to harass you about license keys or whatever.

I'm with you. The very few games I play work great on Linux. As a professional dev, there's absolutely no reason to choose Windows (or any OS, for that matter) over Desktop Linux at this point. I'm convinced Windows is mainly

You better have made this comment via a native windows hacker news desktop application.

None of those tools are obscure, they might just seem like it from the perspective of mouse dependent vscode users.

Strange take. Proton is an acknowledgment that the windows apis are the de facto for gaming. Not sure why the runtime matters. Some games ever run better. Not sure why that’s not the ”real deal” but whatever I’m glad you’re happy with your

Gaming is pretty great on Linux now. I just finished a little Elden ring session and it still blows my mind that when I close the game my Linux desktop is there behind it. No more dual booting, hopefully will never need windows for anything

Clicked the article for the book, stayed for the awesome explanation on how perspective works.

And GPL at that, thank goodness.

Exactly right.

What's even more amazing is how many Large Corporations use FreeBSD, but don't contribute to it.

I don’t think anyone that uses fish uses ctrl+r. You just start typing and you get (directory aware) history based completions.

Exactly. Lots of work to do what fish does out of the box.

They did both those things because it’s the only way they can compete. You really think they would open source any of that stuff if developers weren’t leaving their platform in droves? WSL is them just exploiting foss to make up for their o

His insinuation that if you just MIT your code so that big tech companies can use it, and if they end up needing help with it they might even hire you, seems super sleazy and borderline exploitive especially in the current job market.

If you truly want to upstream changes to libraries then I don’t see why lgpl code isn’t a choice for you. Use it in your proprietary code if you want, no changes no foul. If you make changes you just need to upstream or make the source avai

by WD-42 2y ago
It's not 100% of nothing. If the choice is proprietary because they legally can't freeload off FOSS due to it being GPL, the company in question still needs to pay a developer to write the alternative. That's still a positive

What exactly is this BSD world that you speak of? The one that was mined by corporations for years and whom never gave back anything (except value to Apple shareholders). Compare with Linux which was adopted by corporations and were legally

Sounds great, looking forward to the detailed blog post where you share how to do it!

Us not having the right seems a little extreme. What if I close my eyes and block my ears during evey ad? Do I not have the right to use YouTube then?

Here’s a version of the same idea but runs locally, so you can test without deploying. https://apps.gnome.org/SharePreview/ OP, maybe next step is to try a local version?

Thunderbird received close to $10 million in donations in 2023. And I’m willing to bet far more people use Firefox. If funding development directly, that’s not too shabby.

It’s always the same response, c# was crappy but it’s not crappy anymore. Well guess what, Go has been not crappy for a lot longer than C# has been not crappy, maybe that’s part of the reason people like it more.

by WD-42 2y ago
Almost a decade? Amazing. Considering go has been cross platform since its inception almost twice as long as that, rust too, it’s no wonder developer mindshare is elsewhere.

by WD-42 2y ago
Thunderbird is doing pretty good. They actually have a surplus in donations they have to get rid of. Yet Mozilla abandoned it and refuses still to accept donation for Firefox.

For now. We’ll see how long it takes for them to integrate their Brave Bucks for either enabling the blocker or whitelisting ads.

The lines of code isn’t the point. Op claimed they asked Claude to recreate Claude code and it was successful. This is obviously an extreme exaggeration. I think this is the crux of a lot of these posts. This code generator output a very ba
