  • Logging in local time is fine as long as the offset is marked. Everything else I agree with you though

  • Exactly this. Anyhow makes error handling in rust actually a joy. It's only something you need to consider if you're writing a library for others to use, and in that case, it's good that rust forces you to be very very explicit

  • That syntax looks atrocious

  • Are you using an IDE like rustrover? Rust is by far the easiest language I've worked with. It makes it so the only way to write code is the right way

  • Terrible meme. Go is bad and you should feel bad

  • Yes. They're unsurprisingly called scalies

  • Primitive communism existed for thousands of years

    This is fundamentally flawed. You can't compare primitive societies to modern states. The reason communism worked in primitive societies is the same reason communism works in families. It's not something that can just be expanded to thousands of millions of people who don't know each other

  • TV weather people saying that the temp will be in the 80s is less useful to me than if they tell me if it will be 27ยฐC for example

    Well this isn't really an accurate comparison. If they know an exact temperature, they would say it in both measurements. But they don't. So "in the 80s" is the perfect range. Preparing for 80 degrees is almost identical to how you would prepare for 89 degrees. There's no metric equivalent. The "20s" is way too big of a range. 20 vs 29 is a huge difference. Also, with it being base 10, you don't really need more information. 80 is 80% hot. Think of the hottest weather you've been in. 80 degrees is about 80% of that. And before you say "I've been in 115 degree weather". Yeah, so have I, I lived in arizona, and 115 is honestly not too much different than 100. After 100 it doesn't matter much. Same with below 0. But the 0-100 range, each degree matters quite a bit

  • This. Fahrenheit is by far the better temperature scale for talking about environmental temps

  • The web is literally unusable without ad blockers. Your question is like asking "why should I stop bashing my face into the wall?"

  • Did you just not question my post or are you just intentionally not answering it?

  • What freedom do you have that you think this is infringing on?

    You really don't see the answer to this or are you just being intentionally ignorant. Would you feel the same way if the government banned lemmy?

  • well more like he played and let me watch. He seemed pretty disinterested with it.

    Was he more excited about his cup-and-ball?

  • This means, that there isnโ€™t that much testing before the release. This can cause lots of problems for the end user.

    Lol you're buying into the FUD. ubuntu doesn't test every possible combination of packages, nor do they test how updates actually impact the user. Generally updates are always good for users. They fix bugs. 99% of the time someone comes to a linux forum asking about an issue, the answer is "this was fixed in the latest kernel, try updating". But because they're using distros that use ancient, 3 year old kernels, they can't.

    Unless you have a staging computer where you stage your updates, you're living in an illusion about "stability", and using ancient tools with ancient bugs for no reason

  • Arch has an installer script now. It's literally 1 command and you get a fully working system

  • I haven't had an arch update break shit in almost a decade.

  • Steam is not in the AUR. Arch's main repos have way more than Ubuntu and Debian. And then the aur is a better alternative to installing from source or doing other hacks
