I will die on the hill that XML is a superior config format and people are just afraid of it cause they see the advanced features (that you don’t need to use) and think it’s too complicated.

Brosplosion@lemmy.ziptoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•Audiophiles Can't Distinguish Audio Sent Through Copper, Banana or MudEnglish
61·1 month agoI dunno, reading the article it seems like a flawed experiment? The audio wasn’t played back through those mediums but recorded through it and uploaded to a forum. I might’ve missed what software was used to do the recording but a lot of ADCs have some built in high-pass/low-pass filtering that could remove noise. I’d be interested in the audio played back through them to headphones cause that would sound like shit

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right?
5·2 months agoRandom programming one, but some of the changes in C++20 are terrible and do not belong in the language. I will die on the hill of just because something is easier to learn/work with doesn’t make it better.
Barcades are a thing! You don’t have to drink, if that’s not your bag either
To answer around the question, I’d say the best way to give this gift is to work with them to get you set up! They might already have a favorite distro they want you to try, and working through it both together is a great way to spend time together.

One note that I haven’t seen in the comments yet is
scanfreturns an int that indicates the result of the parsing. Since this operation could fail from bad user input you should be checking this valueEdit: Link to scanf documentation: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/scanf.3.html

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What language courses did they have in your country’s schools?
3·7 months agoIn my US public school: French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Latin
Edit: just checked their website to see what they do now, AP level French Spanish, Italian. And apparently have an ASL class. No more Russian
It oversteps because the creators found it to be convenient.
Copacking default services for networking and time synchronization and other systems with the init make sense for a specific usecase but god bless you if you need to use a different service as you track down the various configuration options to disable functionality.
It works amazing as a service management tool but the prebaked services it provides generally cause more problems than they solve.

Linux@programming.dev•What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users
177·8 months agoNeeds brainless application management.
Windows is basically: download the installer, run it, and boom you’re good to go.
Linux distros typically have 2-3 different ways to install applications and multiple mechanisms for updating/maintaining, where most of the good ones are non graphical. It’s confusing for even experienced users let alone someone who doesn’t know what a “package” is.
Say I want to uninstall something, I need to know how it was installed (apt? Snap? Flatpak? Manual build from source?) in order to do so. On windows, they have a registration scheme where installers log to a common OS level application management on what to run to uninstall.
I have version 25.04.2, was just doing a simple edit trying to overlay annotations on a screen recording so nothing crazy effects-wise. Guess I should go read the patch notes.
