Yeah Spring wasn’t 1.0 until 2004. We had XML files upon XML files just to describe one single Java “Bean”. I did java programming from 2001-2002 and the again from 2011-today. Things dramatically changed (framework-wise) in that short decade I was away from it.
I would agree, Spring Boot and Spring are very useful to learn. React, despite having its origins in Facebook and still with Meta’s hands on it, is a good web framework especially if you use it with Typescript.
He's complacent. He's a useless troll. He thinks nothing should change because he's effectively saying "it is what it is", which is the same bullshit response I see from every single conservative who continues to simply say "thoughts and prayers" after an event like this. There are many ways to try to help prevent such a tragedy, and blanket statement of it being a "fact of life" does literally nothing.
And every day, it keeps happening. And every day, the media keeps shining a spotlight on it. And every day, nothing gets done.
Whether any OS could ever just work isn’t even going to solve the issue.
Getting OEMs to sell laptops and desktops in Best Buy (or the like) that have Linux installed and is properly supported — that is what will help solve the issue.
With Windows, you have to hope there’s a solution that you can implement that doesn’t require rooting around in the insanely-outmoded registry and doesn’t require uninstalling some specific KB12345678 update.
With MacOS, you will do as Apple says, and you will like it. Otherwise, enjoy the $3000 doorstop. Granted, there is plenty you can tweak, but when there is a problem, and you find some Apple Communities post with a copy/paste official reply that has steps to take, none of which ever actually solve the problem, you will be treated with a cheeseburger on your way to the insane asylum. Full disclosure: a MacBook Air is my daily work driver.
With Linux, you are in charge — for better and for worse. This means that when there is a problem, while there is likely a solution, it will depend on many, many factors such as hardware configuration, kernel version, desktop environment, graphics card, display manager, etc. But, you can fix it with research and perseverance with no company getting in the way.
The main difference with Linux, is that you are given the freedom to deal with problems as you see fit.
So, yes, to me, Linux is as good as I think it is — not because it’s better or more stable (though subjectively I would say it is), but because it respects us by keeping the ownership and power where it belongs.
The damage is done, though. And the fact that Intel wouldn’t do anything about damaged CPUs (edit: without requiring the customer to call over and over and over about the RMA) or recall affected CPUs is quite telling. So I’m jumping ship to AMD for my next build.
Of course she may lose, but articles like this are useless. Would be nice if people who claim to want her elected would stop doing Republicans work for them.
She has numerous policies, some of which are:
Working to stop companies from price gouging.
Working on a cease fire in the Middle East.
Increasing the child tax credit for new parents
Bringing back first time homebuyer’s tax credit.
Returning to a higher corporate tax rate.
Working to get prescriptions much more affordable for everyone.
Working to get abortion rights codified in law.
And people seem to have a very short memory about how they tackled COVID (which of course is still around, but is far less dangerous now than it once was), inflation, and jobs.
I sure wish people would stop acting like she has no policy ideas and plans when she has explained many of them, multiple times.
All it requires is listening. And therein lies the problem.
But yeah, let’s write up an article that is effectively Fox News propaganda and act like it’s not.
First, I don’t condone sending arms to Israel or any country or group that is intent on eradication of others. Israel is run by a shit leader.
Second, Hamas is also at fault.
Third, you damn well know if Trump had been in office, shit would be even worse in the Middle East.
So stop trying to make this a single issue election — it’s not. Some of us are capable of critical thinking and can easily see that America and the world are far worse off with your petulant child.
I found that there were a couple questions I would have preferred very straight answers to, but she knows she doesn’t have the time in that interview to go in-depth on any one topic and anything in the Middle East is always an extremely complex topic to debate.
I’ll still vote for her and she’ll likely win. Assuming you’re an American citizen, if you want to vote for Trump, that’s your right, but you will be voting for a convicted felon, whose policies are limited to “dictators love me” and “my crowd size is bigger” and “I’m not weird, they’re weird.”
I’d rather have an adult in the White House, personally.
Can someone tell him that the main reason hyprland sucks is that there’s no metaphor for hiding a window, but leaving the app running? And tossing it to a not-currently-visible workspace isn’t a solution and is pretty damn asinine.
Also, create a settings GUI. This isn’t the 1960s.
I don’t buy into lies like so many people seem to.
While I also won’t buy into emotion, since I try to use logic and reason as much as possible, I will support those who don’t have a campaign built upon lies, deceit, and felonies.
Make no mistake — there are still millions and millions in Trump’s cult. And they will do everything they can to not lose again and again and again. Even when Trump dies, they’ll find some other horrible person to latch onto because they give the cultists permission to be assholes out in the open.
This won’t be over until this kind of uneducated nonsense is bred out. And I mean that from all angles: literal cycle of life, as well as improving the education system in this country.
They didn’t care before because it was in their interest to support him. Now it’s not.
There are a few who truly paid the price of opposing him and I can at least respect that. Kinzinger, Cheney, for examples…not that I would agree with them on much, but they at least stood up to Trump when it mattered.
I removed Windows from my machine and have been playing WoW on Garuda Linux since April. I installed via Lutris and use GE-proton with umu-launcher (simply using GE-Proton within latest Lutris uses umu) and it works every time without fail.
First, for WoW there is no separate cheat detector that somehow figures out “oh they’re on Linux, we must ban them”.
Second, WoW plays considerably better on Linux for me (based on the framerates I’m seeing in various locations in Azeroth). Granted, I decided to dump NVIDIA so I didn’t have to deal with their closed platform garbage.
Lastly, yes, anti-cheat is an issue, but not because of you running Linux — it’s because of game companies fundamentally misunderstanding operating systems. There is no easier method of cheating on Linux than there is on Windows especially if the game company properly supports Linux. So if a company were to ban you, either you are doing something ban-worthy (and running Linux objectively is not), or the company is garbage because they don’t understand what they’re doing.
I have seen no evidence to support Blizzard banning people for playing WoW on Linux. Show me a preponderance of evidence of this that isn’t possibly some other ban-worthy issue, and I will happily change my mind.
I’ve been using and working with Linux since 1999 (big box Redhat 5.1). It was a hobby at first, but then it became a tool in almost every job I’ve held.
Now, on my personal PC I’ve bounced between windows and Linux (and some mad attempts at hackintoshing) since 1999.
But Windows Recall changed that.
Microsoft is doing what they’ve always done — try to control everything under the guise of “this is what the user wants” when not one damn person said “oh I want my operating system to take screenshots of everything I’m doing, AI-analyze them, store the data in an insecure database, and trust that Microsoft will never phone home about any of this”
So now I run Linux full time at home and all the games I play and want to play work perfectly fine.
What a weird way to open a post.
