the average package quality is currently closer to that of the AUR than the official repos of other distros.
Care to elaborate? I don’t remember packages not working, but if anything, they’re not building; which is basically the reverse of what happens at other distributions where sometimes, breakage during building isn’t noticed because the packages aren’t getting rebuilt when a dependency or the compiler toolchain changes.
While the full number might be inflated, it still has one of the most complete official repositories.
careful there buddy
You can game “now” ? 🤨
Well, you can… in fact you you could also before… but it’s technically correct
True! My original point though is that just providing a hash for a downloaded file is generally not required. It doesn’t provide anything that other layers haven’t already (a hash only guarantees integrity, while downloading over HTTPS provides authenticity). Personally, I see them as a relic of the past that made more sense when transmission was less robust (though even back then, a lot of layers provided some sort of error detection and correction), and modern filesystems can detect errors as well.
Those must have been really helpful in 1999.
Or any long-running process that’s attached to a terminal for which you can’t or don’t want to guarantee that you keep it open all the time, yet still want to look at the output.
As someone said. they’re different things, though they overlap in some areas.
This is what people always seen to ignore about YouTube. It’s not just another database frontend to use generated content. That is definitely part of it, but behind that is probably the largest public facing content library on the Internet with a full video recoding infrastructure attached. YouTube is the platform for which I understand that they need to monetize.
Sure, nowadays there’s also tiktok as another big video service. But I like to think that YouTube is way bigger in most metrics.
“I’m upset this murder didn’t actually happen.”
Be the change you want to see in the world!
This is how low the bar is in 2025
But think about the 5 MB they saved!
I think SW Republic Commando sounds were stored in Vorbis. Back then.
Unreal Tournament also used Vorbis starting from either 2003 or 2004.
You can use the model yourself on your own hardware, offline, no Indians required.
One day, the tables will turn.
That day will be a test of character
Why some people are like this? Don’t know and trying to make sense of it is often futile, especially if you’re caught in the relationship yourself and as such have only a limited / warped perspective… all I can say is that his behavior is extremely sickening.
Everyone deserves love, empathy and compassion from their parents - I’m sorry that your father seems incapable of that, but none of that is your fault.
Why would you be a coward for avoiding a conflict where if he was a normal person wouldn’t be any issue whatsoever? There is nothing to gain in that situation
Play the game along on a minimal emotional level, get out as soon as possible and let it be a lesson how to never turn out.
Using this for future family scam attempts lol
Also sorry that your father has no empathy
Ah cool, that’s interesting.
SDL is kind of the equivalent to DirectX. It provides a standard interface for multimedia applications regardless of underlying mechanisms. Except the 3D acceleration part I think which is handled by OpenGL / Vulkan.
The CD wasn’t really suited to be played Mobile (though I did have a portable CD player). It should rather be compared to vinyl in that regard.
I think tapes are great because no portable audio player ever came close to the Walkman regarding its cultural impact. The fact that anyone could record tapes opened up a lot of creative options.
For properly mastered music to be enjoyed at home on a potentially expensive setup, the CD was very close to perfect.
