oh, this is actually a much better statement than the usual https://fosdem.org/2025/news/2025-01-16-protests/

does gcc publish a full changelog anywhere

@munin @foone keyboard quine! keyboard quine!!

@mei oh I wanted that and I couldn't find anything super usable

no notes https://crates.io/crates/cursed-trying-to-break-cargo/1.0.0-0.HDTV-BluRay.1020p.YTSUB.L33TRip.mkv

@dalias KDE has a very detailed keyboard configurator (it exposes basically all of setxkbmap, with a much less suffering-inducing syntax), but not that much for mouse and touchpad

i would tell you what's the status of touchpad but due to an infuriating hardware bug related to the I2C controller in this laptop it's currently offline and i'd have to hard-reboot to fix it

i gave KDE e.V. a hundred euro per year

imagine shipping a major version upgrade so good that someone has to fix their setup _and yet chooses to give you money anyway_

every vendor should aspire to this

for some reason i am completely unable to comprehend, this also fixed an OpenGL issue in VS Code that i did not even know where to start approaching from

(the issue was that on startup it would display nothing for `random(30, 300)` seconds and it was very annoying. some other chromiums, but not all, did this too)

the only remaining issue is that the font sizes are kind of fucked up _but_ the upgrade also fixed a number of other font DPI related issues so i think i'll just go and commit to figuring out which configuration i need to tweak to fix that

KDE stays winning. absolute best DE

i had this ancient .xsession file that i've been maintaining for close to a decade now. it originated as the startkde script that i edited to run i3 instead of kwin. it was awful. it grabbed kde internals and launched random shit. over time it started bitrotting and i've put up with things just... not working often

i just replaced it with a single `KDEWM=/usr/bin/i3 startplasma-x11` command and... everything works now? exactly as i want? holy shit

i'm going to give KDE some money. how come they make software that's actually good and doesn't make me regret upgrading. incomprehensible behavior

folks. folks i need to tell you something. i UPGRADED MY SYSTEM and it STARTED WORKING BETTER

@mcc llvm libunwind is essentially an internal component of the platform runtime. it is documented in the Itanium (EH)ABI.

the other libunwind you're dealing with is some other thing with the same name that's unrelated except for its purpose

libgcc_s and llvm libunwind implement the same interface and are mutually exclusive; the other libunwind could be used together with each

does this clarify

why was it in /etc??

environmental storytelling

@lanodan @josch @klardotsh (ifunc is pretty useful and does not really have a replacement you can deploy yourself)

@klardotsh @josch @lanodan beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? I can read that without pausing, and I presume that the author of musl can, too

I think it's suboptimal but I feel like readability is highly context-dependent

@mntmn I guess to avoid linking to libc?

@mntmn completely reasonable to want to avoid libc. have you _seen_ what's inside glibc? I will never forget
