That is debatable, EA might've been there first with Ass Effect: Andromeda 🤭

@nyanide
Okay, I've figured out what larping is, now wtf is sperging? 🤔

@romin @kaia
AFAIK so does btrfs — less advanced filesystems don't because storage is getting fast these days, desktop systems and phones are unlikely to benefit from it at the cost of using more processing power 🤷

> an HDMI to VGA cord
This might not be as easy to pull off as you think it is, active digital to analogue converter is a pretty complex device, a quality one might cost you more than RasPi does.
Passive one won't work if video card was never designed with DVI-I and DVI-A outputs capable of using a VGA connector, I don't think the video chip in RasPi can do that, it's too new. Nvidia dropped support in 700 series and their user base is more likely to have demand in older displays.

Small firearms sadly won't stop tanks, UAVs and glider bombs — to stop an army you need one too, not a militia 🤷

True, but — saving 60%-90% time on queries running hundreds of times per day? They should and would have done it even without chatGPT long time ago, that would have saved their company generous sums on hardware, especially considering lots of business processes still aren't properly scalable and can't be parallelised and distributed over as many nodes as possible — they have probably had to resort to buying more and more expensive hardware every time the load increased noticeably.

@verita84 @nyanide
Hating the computers is just natural, people should never be ashamed of it 🤷

@newt @lain
I have to do the direct opposite — replace the insides of "trash can" Mac Pro with a G5 🤪

What about goatee, does having this type of beard mean they enjoy activities popularised by said website? 🤔

@s8n @nyanide @JeffGrimesArt
No they don't! No one poops — it's forbidden by the federal law 👮

@hellomiakoda
Is Firefox usable? I remember it being somewhat clunky in Droidian on my phone and AFAIK Furiphone uses a similar OS.
That was a couple of years ago though, so things might've improved drastically.

@romin
I WAS surprised TBH — it's Void so I was expecting to find it at least here 😨

Indeed, the compiler doesn't warn you about shit… But in case with Rust you're in some cases doing things in a very inefficient way just to make the compiler SHUT THE FUCK UP — because you feel that re-writing it in an idiomatic way for Rust might make your head explode 🤯
All in all, nothing is perfect, the article is absolutely right about that.

@fiore @max @snacks
You have to learn how to write *idiomatic* Go code (at least read The Go Programming Language), then a lot of mistakes are easy to avoid — and a lot of things start making sense, those that don't — never do 😂

@romin
If you refuse to use nano, next time they are making you edit config files in AbiWord 🤪

@fiore @max @snacks
I agree! The main point: it's hard to move away from — that is indeed so and it's very important when you're using it commercially, as for other disadvantages — they have their counterparts in other languages, the article even gives a few examples of those.
One other thing that strikes me: indeed, it has very opinionated defaults and your code is to be error-prone if you're writing it just by looking at others' code, which is important for junior devs…

@fiore @max @snacks
Oh, come on, let's be civil here!
(Just trick your mind into thinking it's Plan 9 Glenda — ain't easy considering the lack of ears, but life is SO-O MUCH easier that way 🤭)
