No real preference actually, just not a fan of lisp. (Too (many (god (damn (brackets))))). I just find it visually very fatiguing to read.

Interesting.. although if I ever switch, it'd be to an emacs spawn that didn't use lisp as language.

Re:My Steam Machine Is a 50ft HDMI Cable
on Friday June 26, 2026 @06:56AM (#48685108)
Used to use moonlight/sunshine to stream to my steamdeck hooked to my TV, but switched over to just using a long HDMI cable and a wireless controller. Have everything hooked up with Home Assistant, so when I start the PC in a specific automation, it will automatically switch output to the TV and start steam in big picture (steamdeck) mode. Works fairly well. Using a normal distro (Fedora), so no dual boot shenanigans.
If something goes wrong, either get out of the couch (duh!) or remote with moonlight :-)

Re:GCC 16 has been released
on Thursday April 30, 2026 @01:45PM (#47965881)
Let me wikipedia that for you :-) Like people mentioned already, gcc predates LLVM by quite some years, ie. Wikipedia mentions March 22, 1987 for gcc, while LLVM's initial release was 2003.
A big difference between the 2 is also the license. GCC uses the GPL while LLVM uses Apache License, hence the projects don't share code.
Re:UUID package coming to Go standard library
on Saturday March 07, 2026 @05:44AM (#47286386)
https://www.thenile.dev/blog/uuidv7#why-uuidv7 has some details:
"
UUID versions that are not time ordered, such as UUIDv4 (described in Section 5.4), have poor database-index locality. This means that new values created in succession are not close to each other in the index; thus, they require inserts to be performed at random locations. The resulting negative performance effects on the common structures used for this (B-tree and its variants) can be dramatic.
".

How long until the AppleTV will look like your own in-home billboard? At least on the NVIDIA Shield you could just not install the update that changed the homescreen to incorporate ads (or install an alternative launcher). With the closed eco system of the AppleTV, the options are probably limited if/when Apple decides they need to extract more money from you by blastering ads all over the interface.

Denuvo anti-tamper DRM doesn't use kernel level tricks, it's all userspace and works just fine on Linux/Proton.
It's the kernel level anti-cheats that don't work on Linux. And some user level anti cheats (like AntiCheat Expert) that only work on the Steam Deck as they check the CPU/GPU of the system and refuse to work if it's not the one in the Steam Deck (which also means those don't work on platforms like the ROG Ally).

Re:Why are anime catgirls blocking my access to the Linux kernel?
on Thursday August 28, 2025 @02:23AM (#45049044)
Unless your bank supports it, you will need a windows/mac computer to activate, as it uses the https://plugin.connective.eu/ browser plugin to read out your ID, which doesn't support Linux. Maybe it has changed, last I tried was more than a year ago and that time, my bank (AXA) couldn't be used to activate, so the only other option was browser activation.
Re:The unexpected productivity boost of Rust
on Thursday August 28, 2025 @02:18AM (#45049020)
Until they don't. A common issue is not checking if the execve() actually worked and thinking nothing after the execve() will execute, which is an assumption that it not always true.

Except that itsme crap is not from the government and doesn't support activation on anything but a Windows / Mac machine. No Linux support at all, while the Belgian government stuff (CSAM) supports Linux just fine.
