Apparently the kosher way around this is installing RuneLite and the Jagex launcher in Lutris or Wine, but I just gave up.

They're rarely "nice" places though (lain is fairly pleasant).

Is that really a valuable metric for a software engineer?

I've always preferred holding Shift when SHOUTING AT PEOPLE ONLINE anyway, so I've never missed lacking Caps.

This all coming from "an anticapitalist tech blog" humoured me a little.

I won't tell you what it is though - I'm not here to hold your hand.

Your government needs to know who everybody is. That means illegal immigrants can't get drivers licenses, and that's kind of the point.

> Even IDs for undocumented people (such as Californian AB 60 driver’s licenses) require a foreign passport, national ID card or birth certificate, and can’t help people who have no state-issued identity documents at all.

> This existing ID system is harmful, inaccessible and a single point of failure

This is kind of a Wii ship of Theseus.

Were MacBook upgrades not so expensive (all i want is 16GB!) and my love affair with NixOS, I'd probably have regretted buying one.

It does look pretty though.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to a mixture of elitism, protectionism, and market dominance, writing cross-platform software in any capacity, let alone cross platform software that requires low-level hardware access, Bluetooth, video, geolocation, etc., is far harder than it deserves to be, and using the web as an abstraction layer makes these things a million times easier.

edit: It's also far easier to distribute this stuff. I just want my video game controller working in slightly better order - I don't want to have to install some bluetooth library and then choose between an x86 Mac, ARM Mac, x86 Windows, x64 Windows, AppImage, deb, flatpak, .tar.gz, snap, my package manager (if it's even there), try install it, shit, it doesn't run on my distro, patch it, use it once, then uninstall it.

I'd contend Nix is the best package management system yet, and while its certainly complex, much of that complexity only exists to hack around decades of bodges.

I wasn't sure if the entire page was being rendered through it, that's all :)

    let s1 = String::from("hello");
    let s2 = s1;

    println!("{}, world!", s1);
