You're trying to use an open source OS with a proprietary closed-source filesystem. The reason it's buggy is because the driver you're using for accessing the NTFS partition is reverse engineered at a "best effort" degree. The driver isn't complete (will never be until Microsoft open sources it), and one of the things that's a sore point is running executables from an NTFS partition. Steam just does not handle it well and that's not Steam's fault or their problem to fix, nor is it Linux's fault or their problem to fix. Frankly, it's not even Microsoft's fault either because they're under no obligation to release their source code.

It's not my problem

It's 100% your problem.

Things that don't work shouldn't work a little bit and then break other stuff permanently. That's just not a tolerable behavior for mainstream software.

You don't use your cellphone as a hammer and complain that cellphones aren't tough enough when the screen breaks. You don't say "that's just not tolerable behaviour from a mainstream consumer product".

The solution here is to separate your Steam library between games you play on Windows and Linux. Or simply to commit to just one OS for gaming. If you choose Windows for that, that's perfectly fine. No one is going to give you a hard time over that. You use whatever works for you.

But please understand that your whole argument here is that you created a setup that's unstable (which is fine, I learned the hard way too), were told it's unstable and why, then in the next breathe complained that it's not your fault, it's everyone else's.

NTFS is a garbage filesystem in my opinion anyways.

I'm trying to share at least one Steam library across my Windows and Manjaro dual boot setup

Found your problem. It's simply not going to work and will give you headaches.

Remember when he said he knows more about engineering than anyone else on the planet?

There's also the tribal knowledge of people who've worked somewhere for a few years. There's always a few people who just know where or how a particular thing works and why it works that way. AI simply cannot replace that.

I find it's the most useful when asking it for small snippets of code or dealing with boilerplate stuff. Anything more complicated usually results in something broken.

They kind of already do. The C used by the kernel team isn't the exact same as what everyone else uses. Mainly because of the tooling they've built around it. I can't remember specifics, but the tooling in place really helps out in that department.

Also, "memory safe C" is already a proposal for the C lang project.

It's only counterintuitive when you don't understand the why and how. Stimulants boost dopamine. Dopamine, to your brain, is like oxygen to an engine. It needs to be in balance. Too much or too little and the engine starts malfunctioning. Too much dopamine and someone gets high, too little and your brain starts misfiring. Then your brain starts making you act in ways to seek out sources is dopamine, which can lead to erratic behaviour.

You should read the Children of Time. The second book is something else.

For the oil side, the solution is to invest in renewables

Nuclear. Canada has an amazing(currently growing) nuclear industry. We need to foster that even more.

While I mostly agree, I have used LLMs to help me find some truly obscure stuff or things a normal web search would take a long time to sift through a lot of sources that are too generalized. An LLM can give you the exact thing from a more generic search, then I can take that specific output to find the detailed source.

Now ask DeepSeek about Tiananmen Square

Maybe they were just worried that kids were getting into hacking!

I've never used beeper, but I've been using Ferdium for years I have all in one app:

• WhatsApp
• Hangouts
• Discord
• Element (Matrix)
• Nextcloud Chat
• Lemmy

Before you ask, the creators were threatened into oblivion. You MIGHT be able to find an installer out there somewhere.

You mean a desktop application? If so you can use the web version, or even better, use Ferdium. It lets you connect to various messaging services and integrates them like a native desktop app.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

This was a local instance.

I asked it about Tiananmen Square, it told me it can't answer that because it can only respond with "harmless" responses.

A few years ago I switched the mail provider for the company I work for from a small MSP provider over to Google Workspace. The reason is my boss' inbox had an average of 5k+ of spam daily. He even had to abandon one of his email addresses at one point. After switching over to Google that number went to a more manageable few dozen daily.

It's absolutely a massive problem.

If you get 100 spam emails a day, then without those protections that have been put into place that number would be in the 100s of thousands at best.
