how many budget Chinese made electronics have lead in the power cables

WHAT

Wtf, WTF THEY MADE LEADED PVC???????s?d?d?F/

I'm going to panic a little about this after I get some sleep

Do you have any more information?

Am rly tired but I gotta say: I blame the game devs only partially (object oriented brained ppl usually omg, not even good object oriented they all got C++ and Java brain hehe)

A lot of ppl live under perma-crunch schedules so good code is impossible anyway :(

I hug game devs, if you're reading this and a game dev I'm sending a hug over TCP/IP (if u want it ofc) <3

We should shred oyur project manager together

They should just dump the source code and let us remaster it ourselves

"Noooo but my trademark patented engine speedtrees AI trade secret proprietary royaltied merchant's privileged asset--" shut up, I already know this is gonna be shit, the textures are gonna be AI generated, and it will somehow have directly involved exploiting third-world labor cuz capitalism is in a total-society-enshittification death spiral and every single modder can do it better cuz they were already making horrific and wonderful binary patches anyway to your Windows 98 MSVC generated 9999999999 thousand line """""solution""""" file defined slop code that can actually still run on a 386 Zionist genocide-optimizing-computer type CPU so your slop code runs less like shit, makes better graphics, and so they can jerk off to modded-in anime girls

Literally collectivize all software immediately, all licensces (doesn't deserve to be spelled correctly anyway, probably French) will be null and void

The exploding quadcopter software will be collectivized as soon as this episode of the class war is complete however

It makes me so sad playing games I love knowing that the code is locked away in some vault somewhere or lost forever :(

Lmaoooo

Kinda unrelated but Fast Fourier Trans(form)

Just leaving this here in case anyone can do anything with it

2025 vibes are listening to KNOT SONG while watching the markets collapse

Hi, my name is Marcy Rheintgen, I'm a twenty year old college student, and I'm writing this letter to tell you that I'm going to break the law.

I know that you know in your heart that transgender people are human too, and that you can't arrest us away. I know that you know in your heart that transgender people are no different from you or anybody else. I know that you know in your heart that the same people that go to church with you, eat in the same restaurants, go to the same schools, root for the same sports teams, watch the same movies, and pray to the same God as you cannot be all bad. I know that you know that I have dignity. That's why I know you won't arrest me.

Peak lib praxis, just a perfect example of the docile, ineffective nature of liberalism

I hope she will look back on this in a few years as a misguided, but ultimately good thing, when she's fighting with the Everglade Maoist People's Liberation Army cuz it made her and some other libs finally realize that the bourgeoisie are NOT human

I hope she will be okay if they are so cruel as to put her in prison :(

TLDR: The internet will be democratic when fox furries can get a .fox for free instead of ICANN delegating that to Fox Broadcasting Company for their exclusive use

Orr that would be a start at least hehe

Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) with .NET: " take it or leave it."

Oh no lol, I gotta leave it

librsvg is such a jumpscare since it just adds the rust compiler to the dependency tree (which has to be bootstrapped from older versions of the compiler, fun!)

Ikrrr lol, not a good time. And now you gotta build LLVM if you didn't already and that's gonna take....... a longggg time but at least it doesn't do that staged compilation stuff GCC does lol

I understand why they switched and I do rly like Rust's borrow checker but they also wanna rewrite all the portable C code into supposedly-portable Rust and that's gonna leave a lot of ppl out (especially ppl with older hardware who can't afford newer stuff) and probably add to the complexity of entire systems a lottt (idk which Linux rewriter type I prefer: the "rewrite Linux in Rust" type or the "rewrite everything in eBPF" type hehe, there must be other rewriters)

I mean, Rust will have to just be ported to different operating systems, it's not gonna go away any time soon for my use cases.

True :/ It's not for me either

LLVM has the reputation of being easy to port but I've never tried and that's only one piece of the whole thing :|

I am aware of this and glad to see its progressing :3

But its also in a very early state isn't it? Tbh..... I have been hearing about this for years but I haven't seen anyone using it :|

OpenNIC is around, I may get on there

The issue is very very few ppl use it

Yess, ppl have done that it's just hard to convince anyone to use it :/

The most famous project is OpenNIC: https://opennic.org/

I've never used it but as far as I know... there are no costs to you at all for registering a domain. I am unsure how they allocate them exactly, ideally it would be based on need

Programmers aren't taught portability in Uni at all and that's why we have a dozen build systems for Python and JS.

Yehh, like fundamentally most programmers don't even care. Anything after Windows and/or Ubuntu is an afterthought at best to so many programmers

Why be portable when you can shove a huge docker container into it and forget about it?

Legitttt lol. I hate how containers have become a substitute for portability or even good security design (yeahh it runs as root but it's in a container, how bad could it beeeee

And yehh I feel similarly about Rust :/ They just reinvented npm again lol with all its problems. The compiler is sooooo large and slow, which is why we only have just the one :| which is very concerning for portability and sustainability reasons. Like if it takes an army of corpo-paid engineers to even keep the thing running and no one else can write a standards-complying (Rust standard is set by the one compiler too lol) implementation is it rly even portable?? Like you can port it and LLVM to new platforms...... if you have a lottttttt of time and energy or money to pay people to do it cuz its so overcomplicated and large. This is also why I can't have anything that uses GTK (cuz of librsvg and Spidermonkey I think) or Firefox on my Pinebook Pro or my Mac PowerPC machines, cuz Rust is broken on 32-bit PPC architectures and needs 4 GB of RAM to build those things even just using a single processor :( In practice it just breaks in so many places idk. We don't even have the committee like with C++ to put in every feature they can think of, rustc itself is basically the standard lol

Although........ no dynamic linking is a feature imo hehe. I forget how large Rust binary sizes are though lol

Oh yeahhh, somehow CMake is harder to fix than Autotools and it has like 3 layers of macro shit going on lol. CMake does tend to work on first try more ime at least

And I have run into good build systems, they do exist imo. Like building anything on Plan 9 is wonderful and BSD Makefile templates are great. C and Unix was just..... never meant for all this :( C is somehow more portable than soooo many programming languages but I wouldn't say its a portable language lol, ppl just have to do all these hacks to write portable C seemingly. Yet we're still stuck with it and I hate it. I wish Rust had not become the new C++ :/
