On a side note, your installation of Void reminded me of my very first archlinux experience back when ‘archinstall’ wasn’t a thing yet.

Linux@programming.dev•28 years after the final Intel 486 desktop CPUs rolled off assembly lines, Linux is finally dropping support for itEnglish
8·2 months agothe commitment is from open source maintainers who honestly need to see some support and traction. Hopefully the idea that necessity is the mother of all inventions motivates the few who still have 486 chips to contribute support.
Actually I also pronounce it as en-ginks. The parent comment was not obvious to me
that’s how i pronounce it from the very first time i saw it

2·3 months agoI think you’re the one who keeps thinking about what your friends recommended. They simply gave you an option and moved on. you on the other hand seem to have devolved into a crusade against an alternative choice in running your own OS.

Programming@programming.dev•claimcheck: Narrowing the Gap between Proof and IntentEnglish
1·3 months agoit is quite terrifying that people think translating from formal constraints in math to informal english is either accurate or deterministic.
And they ask the LLM to not look at requirements but who is guaranteeing it won’t just hallucinate them out of thin air later when messy prompts inevitably trigger a butterfly effect?

Linux@programming.dev•Linux Still Working To Clean Up The Realtek RTL8723BS 802.11b/g/n WiFi Driver In 2026English
4·3 months agoSo I would like to know from experts working on Realtek or those who are following closely enough to understand the details what exactly does the “Big HAL layer” entail interms of so much refactoring?
From what I can understand it looks like most of the vendor released stuff is not inline to the design of the kernel and thus it works in a different manner than the rest of the kernel.
But then, why wouldn’t experts try to clean room implement the driver by mimicking the official driver?

Linux@programming.dev•Does anyone have a good suggestion for a markdown note organiser?English
2·3 months agoyeah thanks for the resources. I decided to just go through the manual.
And yeah, the older terms… I understand them as I am a crusty millenial and kind of like the charm of it.
my goal is to shift to emacs for work as I am drawn to the efficient notetaking + planner + dev environment with org mode.

Programming@programming.dev•What to do if i want to make games oneday, but im unsure where to start?English
31·4 months agojoin a game company as a junior. Hate every bit of it and then realize you’re better off doing something else.
Or skip all of that and pick something you are somewhat familiar with today.
If you’re still reading that means you want to continue on this treacherous path. Fine, fastest way to start i guess is playtesting but with companies asking customers to do that for them… the role is kind of lacking at the moment.
best you can do in your free time is start with trying out every aspect of game design upto a beginner level: learn basic coding in a specific language like python. learn to make simple text based adventures and fill-in-the-blank puzzles.
More the merrier! Start it anyway!
