Yeah, it's a shame Qt/C++ doesn't have any way of interacting with USB devices and there's no libraries for that, otherwise there could be a native GUI app for QMK. Or failing that, because Qt is simply too difficult for programmers to figure out, maybe some day there will be a way to deal with USB devices from Java, then at least we could have an AWT app (or I guess Swing is the new hotness now?).

Yeah the fundamental problem is there isn't a good way to write cross platform applications that interface directly with a usb device

Sometimes Arch has the software you want at the version you want, other times it doesn't but other distros do. That's why there's half a billion distros instead of just one.

Richard Stalman, someone who puts other people's rights before his own wallet.

He's got a lot of sexual assault allegations against him. Also awful personal character

Considering some others mentioned here are Elon Musk and Steve Jobs it seems like 'awful personal character' doesn't count for much.

If we completely ignore the Stallman support and take the Stallman report as completely factual and accept it at face value, then I still think the good he has done outweighs the bad.


Elon Musk then Steve Jobs.

How is the hyperloop coming along nowadays?

We’re just going to ignore Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink to point at something that he said he didn’t even want to do and said other people should try it?

If anyone else had a single one of those companies it would be considered a life-defining achievement. He has multiple at the same time. Not having a 100% unicorn rate doesn’t make someone a failure.


In Belgium the eID software runs on GNU/Linux, so I can log in to government websites using my ID card and a card reader. In my experience it even works better on GNU/Linux than on MS Windows.

It's one of the only things that Belgium does right.


I'm not certain that shooting is a core mechanic in a strict majority of video games (may also depend on how you define shooting, is flinging fireballs around shooting?).

But aside from that, Campster argued in his video about violence in games (<https://youtu.be/wSBn77_h_6Q>) that violence is easier to program in an accessible way than nonviolence.


Nonviolence requires more understanding than violence.

It's hard to talk about STP without any spoilers, but I was kinda underwhelmed after how much it got hyped up. I liked the... adversary? You know, the fighty-fight, fight fight fight; but I've no great desire to find everything.

I mean, I thought They Might Be Giants were kinda well known?

I have heard of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and My Bloody Valentine (although I may be thinking of Bullet For My Valentine), though I don't own any of their albums and I can't recall where I know them from. I think both of them were mentioned in some absolute Z-tier fanfic I read once.


Is there an MBV set in this archive? I see the GYBE sets.

later

Never mind, there they are. I was at one of those 2018 shows!


> I thought They Might Be Giants were kinda well known?

Thanks, I completely missed that.

It's too late for me to edit my above post, so for anyone else who wants to take a look: https://archive.org/details/aadamjacobs?and[]=creator%3A%22t...


No, that's malicious compliance. If the owners of those websites would just stop ignoring visitors' right to privacy they wouldn't be showing those banners (yes, I know the website of the EU also has such a banner, lazy devs are lazy).
