Welp, I haven’t seen anyone learn Swift other than for Apple stuff these days. So I wonder how many can actually contribute to the code. It’s also made by Apple, so yeah. It would have been more performant and secure (both of which are pretty important in a browser) if it was written in a more low level language. For example Rust.

It’s nice and all but usage of Swift is kind of not great.

Arch Linux

Gaming has not been a problem for me yet.

Proton works pretty good and games in Steam are starting to release builds for Linux as well because Steam Deck got popular (thanks Valve?) Minecraft Java also runs natively on Linux.

There’s a reason why software is being made with Rust now. It has the speed of C++ (sometimes faster), has a nice syntax, is memory safe by default, has the best compiler error messages and also the book is very good. I learnt entirely by the book and it’s very good at explaining things.

I do wonder: why not rust? It would have been amazing. A fast language on par with C++ that also is memory safe. But Swift? You gotta be kidding me…

Ubuntu server, though I am thinking of using arch even though it is a rolling distro. It doesn’t really matter. As long as docker is supported, I am fine using any.

GNU Taler

I mostly see either normal porn, some disgusting shit or gay sex.

Miku does not age

Im thinking of self hosting Forgejo one day.

Already using Codeberg.

I think I am a 5. I feel like I am imagining an apple but then I am not sure whether I “see” the thing I am imagining or not. It’s weird.

zsh

When I think of india, I think of scam centers disguised as tech support.

Discord has an alternative called Revolt that is open source. It has all the premium features in discord for free, but is still in early stages I’d say.

I first tried a linux distro in 2020. At that time, I honestly just wanted the customizations I’ve seen in unixporn and mindlessly tried arch because of the memes. I followed some youtube tutorial to manually install it and of course fucked up my boot partition that also had my windows boot stuff. After installing arch, I tried booting windows to move things to an external drive but windows would not boot up. I paniced and searched for hours on the web trying to fix it before giving up and just wiping the drive entirely. I was pretty much a noob and didn’t know anything at all about linux at that time. Then I tried installing arch again tomorrow, this time I got everything right and I didn’t need to deal with dual booting as windows was no more on my drive. The system was pretty stable for a few weeks before I guess I tried customizing KDE or something and completely broke my system. Of course the dumbass me again just wiped off the whole drive all my files gone. After that I installed windows again and no longer try to install any linux distro again until last year where I instead read the arch wiki and I had more knowledge in general about these things, so in 2023 I wanted to try installing a linux distro yet again. This time I went with ubuntu. It looked nice and stable but it honestly just sucked. Snaps indeed were problematic and I never got myself to like them, even today. So I tried pop. This one was nice and I actually used it for a few months. GNOME wasn’t the best DE for me but it just worked. I wanted to go a little deeper into linux at some point and I, you guessed it, tried installing arch. Everything went smoothly and I also installed it manually without any yt videos but just the arch wiki. I had some problems understanding some stuff in it but I eventually got it to work. And until today, everything still works fine for me in arch. I can fix some issues I encounter without the help of the internet. So I’ve been using arch for a year now. Windows is also no longer installed. I migrated everything to arch. I don’t really use any professional tools at least like adobe so I have no problem with using arch. All of the games I played on windows function either better or the same on linux thanks to proton. Some games also have native versions so yeah.

OOP is nice. Why do people hate it?
