This is a certified 2DS moment

you might want to double check your country’s laws. back when the DMCA was first passed the US was also in talks with a bunch of other nations and sneakily made it a condition of doing any trade with the US that they had to adopt basically a copy paste of the DMCA. if you’re in Canada for example it’s called the Copyright Modernization Act. If you’re in the EU it’s called CISD 2001.

Transcoding would not be a violation, but in order to rip it in the first place, you had to bypass technological restrictions built into the disc and the drive. Under section 1201 of the DMCA, the creation or sharing of software that can do thatis a felony punishable by half a million dollars and six months in prison for a first offense.

I have news for you about breaches of contract. They can be sued over.

Also DMCA 1201 is a thing which often makes reverse engineering a felony.

That is explicitly prohibited by virtually all proprietary software license agreements.

If someone does that to an app you’re actively selling you’re well within your rights to C&D them.

Also you get to call yourself a Ziguana, which is on par with Rustacean in terms of demonym coolness

rust is good but this is the exact 180 degree opposite of why

Nah. Rust is challenging to write because Rust is challenging to learn. There are a lot of concepts that exist in few if any other programming languages that you have to get your head around before you can write really any nontrivial Rust code.

When I started learning Lua, I already knew Python and Java. It took me about a week to pick it up before I was writing proper coroutines. When I started learning Rust, I really struggled, for over a month – Rust is a lot – but then everything just kinda clicked, and I got it, and suddenly the borrow checker was a wind at my back instead of something I would do daily battle with.

I am a twink, but I think that is entirely orthogonal to me being good at Rust. Anyone can pick it up. You just have to be very patient and very eager to learn.

Porque no los dos?

the kernel itself does not depend on glibc. that is ridiculous. if it did, it would not be able to mount the root filesystem, since the glibc it needed to do so would be on the filesystem it was about to mount.

what does depend on glibc is virtually every other program on the system, including systemd.

the kernel would boot but it would not get much farther than that. the kernel would start systemd as pid 1, systemd would try to load glibc and fail, systemd would exit, and the kernel would immediately panic because pid 1 died

And how many of those things work at all on Linux phones?

Three point landing? Really???

Does it have its own repositories? If not, the water gets murky.

Omarchy isn’t even a distro. It’s a set of dotfiles.

WeaponsManufacturerOS is Nix, obviously (they’ve since dropped Anduril as a sponsor but we’re never going to let them live it down), MalwareOS I’m guessing is Arch, but what’s BenevolentDictatorOS?

Agents are better than me at almost all forms of programming.

Literally image admitting you’re that bad at your job.

I don’t do as much as I should. I run Wine (which is NOT a sandbox!!!) inside of Bottles (which sandboxes it a little bit; it at least prevents it from accessing the real filesystem and other programs I have installed) inside of Flatpak (which internally uses Bwrap for sandboxing, which is a legit sandbox when correctly configured, although probably isn’t secure against really determined malware).

I probably should use a virtual machine, just to be safe. But I don’t want the headache of setting that up or the performance penalty it comes with, and I decided I trust Fitgirl enough to not try harder than Bwrap.

If you pirate a videogame and don’t sandbox the living shit out of it, you have no one to blame but yourself.

I gotta say, “living embodiment of Linux as a Christ figure” was not something I expected to see today.
