  • Jesus fucking christ. I came back to the game literally right after the nerf and i was fucking deviating enemies with the flame grenade and flame shotgun esq thing.

    Wtf is wrong with people they were bitchkng about it. Inwas on lvl 9s and basically just erasing bot drops with a single round of nade n blast. 33% is gonna be wildly overpowered… I feel like people forgot the whole fucking point of the game is to be weak, die frequently, and blast orbitals. That’s why you have so many lives ffs


  • They are amazing but at the end of the day they are still humans and they can make mistakes. In the YouTube video referenced one of the C devs is heavily against rust.

    Decided to go look for CVEs from code the guy manages (Ted Ts’o) I found these

    CVE-2024-42304 — crash from undocumented function parameter invariants

    CVE-2024-40955 — out of bounds read

    CVE-2024-0775 — use-after-free

    CVE-2023-2513 — use-after-free

    CVE-2023-1252 — use-after-free

    CVE-2022-1184 — use-after-free

    CVE-2020-14314 — out of bounds read

    CVE-2019-19447 — use-after-free

    CVE-2018-10879 — use-after-free

    CVE-2018-10878 — out of bounds write

    CVE-2018-10881 — out of bounds read

    CVE-2015-8324 — null pointer dereference

    CVE-2014-8086 — race condition

    CVE-2011-2493 — call function pointer in uninitialized struct

    CVE-2009-0748 — null pointer dereference

    Do you see a pattern in the type of error here? It’s pretty much entirely memory related and right in the wheelhouse of something rust would just outright not allow short of just slapping everything into unsafe blocks.

    The Old Guard is not perfect, and they are acting as a barrier to new talent coming in. Sometimes change is good and I’m heavily in the camp that rust one of those times. Linus seems to agree as he allowed the code into the kernel which he would never do lightly or just because it’s fomo

    If we didn’t already have the perfect option that is bitwarden I would probably go for this. But there’s really no reason to switch away from bitwarden to this. It’s open source, gets regularly publicly audited, and nothing ever leaves your device unencrypted. So even if they had their data center broken into and all machines stolen physically I wouldn’t have to worry about my passwords


  • I don’t just mean the voice, even just HOW it gives directions. Google maps gives you multiple warnings for a turn , one way before, one approaching, one right at. It also will often tell you which lane to take a turn in if multiple exist (use the second from the left lane to turn left) if your next turn is right after with little warning.

    It’s been a hot minute so i can try again to see if it’s changed but directions were terrible with little extra warning and no taking the next direction into account.

    The map was also just… Messy, little outlines for buildings everywhere a bunch of random green squares all over the map that I couldn’t figure out how to turn off and wasn’t even sure what they were meant to represent other than they seemed to roughly correspond with grassy or treed areas but for using it as a navigation app that is extremely annoying because it just makes the whole map of cluttered mess and makes it difficult to really tell what I’m looking at when I’m trying to drive and need to see my next Direction quickly and easily at a glance


  • I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can believe this, I keep trying it over and over and over and it fails on the absolute most basic of business searches. And some of the directions it gives are just completely nonsensical, and it’s voice guidance is absolutely terrible making it fairly easy to miss a Direction if you’re not able to be looking at the screen

    I hate giving my location to Google but at the end of the day they are still the only GPS navigation that doesn’t suck at basic navigation




  • I hate this recommendation because Matrix is just a terrible user experience. It has basically nothing of value over Discord other than being open source. Which is important but it’s not enough to counteract the amount of basic quality of life stuff that is just absolutely trash garbage on Matrix. Stuff that no normal user is going to put up with.

    If Discord does end up completely eviscerating itself the replacement will just be some new upstart closed Source program that is shiny just like how Discord took over from Slack it will not be the rise of Open Source because open source developers have no concept of user experience.

    I mean we don’t even need to start talking about how bad all the client options are and how half the features don’t work and all that. You can look no further than the login system. Average users do not like want or accept having multiple options for logging in. There’s a reason that irc, teamspeak, mumble despite in many ways being objectively Superior especially in the case of the voice chats ended up relegated to only nerds like us. Because no one else is willing to deal with keeping track of servers to connect with or how to cross join or add users.

    Same reason that Lemmy is like 90% technical users that are already invested in something like Linux. The average user got frustrated by how fragmented everything is how many duplicate channels and content you would find between instances and how difficult it was to search instances in the first place. I am here because I can ultimately work around those emoians, but the average person? Is not willing to and they shouldn’t have to
