Yeah, I do recall playing around with that at one point! I remember it saying something like, "I'll remember you said that once robots have taken over the world" if you ever insulted it. Actually kind of eerie in retrospect.

I know it's silly but I actually have some pretty fond childhood memories of Bonzi Buddy. Me and my cousin installed it on the family computer (running Windows ME at the time!) and would use the text-to-speech feature to make it say cr

I miss Ultima Online. That game really was ahead of its time.

The majority of the human population is religious. Software is generally created by humans so it doesn’t seem unlikely that some of that influence would rub off on their work (same as any other work of art really).

I mean, I’ve replaced Photoshop with Krita for my personal use. It’s not like everyone who pays for Photoshop actually needs all of the professional features that sets it apart from FOSS alternatives.

I'd be satisfied with recipe websites that don't pad out the recipes with 100 paragraphs of blogspam.

I wish Facebook would just stop existing at this point. It truly is a malignant tumor on the face of the humanity.

> GenServers aren't useful for concurrency. Sure, maybe not by themselves but typically you would run many GenServers concurrently in your application as part of a supervision tree. Libraries like Broadway (and the underlying GenSta

Syntactic sugar is of course another form of abstraction and so you have to balance developer ergonomics with that added complexity. As you point out, Elixir's `GenServer` is a fairly simple wrapper module over Erlang's own `gen_s

How do you imagine Microsoft pulling off the "extinguish" step? Linux is the most popular OS for servers even on Microsoft Azure [0] so I don't see any threat in that regard. Then you have weirdos like me who have been runnin

Does anyone run System76 hardware with a distro other than Pop!_OS and if so, how's it working out for you? I love what the company is doing and will probably consider a System76 laptop in the future (once they move away from Clevo to

> linux desktop is doomed to fail What does this even mean? I’ve been using Arch Linux with KDE as my only desktop OS for years and it’s a wonderful time. If you think Windows is better and prefer to use that, great. I personally prefer

> Disable the sound effects on boot As someone who grew up using an old school Mac in the 90s, this is blasphemy! That triumphant chime is essential to the Macintosh experience (just kidding but kinda not).

That’s fair. I suppose the fact that Nova is proprietary, pay-to-use software that only runs on macOS gives that criticism more merit. And sure, a text editor on its own isn’t all that groundbreaking. I guess my point is that I hope develop

Ugh. I can see where you’re coming as a matter of practicality but I’m really not fond of this “conform to VS Code for everything” mentality. I’ve noticed that the trend has been to move toward LSP for everything having to do with text edit

Yeah. For a moment I found this interesting but then I remembered that KDE Plasma has perfect integration with all of the streaming services I use through my browser. It seems to just work without any additional software. You can even contr

Bitwig will work with all of your existing VSTs, MIDI hardware and of course media (audio samples, Soundfonts etc.) as will Ardour and any other DAW worth using. There's no need to start from scratch.

As a weirdo who makes music and uses Linux as their only OS, I suppose I'll leave a little positivity in this thread. Yes, JACK does take some effort to setup and configure but once everything's in place it really is a dream envir

Trump supporters have done nothing but alienate and engage in acts of harassment and violence against non-white folks, religious minorities and members of the LGBTQ community for the past 4-5 years. Should we be civil toward members of the

Nice little retrospective. I’ve been using Elixir and Phoenix both for personal projects and in production at Househappy since 2015. It’s been nothing short of wonderful and to this day it remains my favorite programming language and ecosys

How many active Linux projects are still written in Objective C? Personally, I see no compelling reason to use Swift on Linux. Programming languages are dime-a-dozen. The libraries and ecosystem surrounding a language are what’s important t

+1 for Inter. I’ve been using it as my system font on KDE for years and it renders really well at every display resolution I’ve tried. I’m picky about my OS fonts too.

There is no suckless "philosophy". The official page explaining it makes a few solid points about simplicity vs. complexity [0] but for the most part its just thinly-veiled programmer rage and elitism. This is reinforced by the co

If you want something that runs 100% locally with a persistent environment, take a look at macOS-Simple-KVM [0]. With some trivial tweaks in virt-manager as well as the guest OS, you can easily create a local macOS VM that you can SSH into

Are other countries even allowing US citizens in right now? It was my understanding that we’re pretty much banned from the rest of the world due to our batshit insane Covid response.

For anyone looking to set up a virtual OBS webcam in Arch Linux, here's how I did it: 1. Install headers for your Linux kernel: - sudo pacman -S linux56-headers 2. Install v4l2loopback-dkms from AUR: - git clone https:/

No. If I start a message board and you break the rules, I should be able to delete your posts and ban you without legal consequence. It’s my platform. Twitter has the freedom to determine what content they allow and don’t allow on their pla
