There are basically two types of files. Text files and binary files.

Most information are stored in text files so humans can easily understand it, and it’s easier to find errors, review, parse. But text storage takes more space than binary files. And many complicated softwares normally need multiple text files or data files, many of them just store them together as a zip file so that it’s easier to handle. Examples are .docx,.pptx, etc files in MS Office, try unzipping them and see what they contain. Zipping also has advantages of reducing file sizes.

That depends on what video player you use. Of we have control of that, then sure it works. I use mpv to play things, so for radio streams or live videos I can go back/forward as long as it’s cached.

But if it’s the web service, even though the browser video player has something cached, the player is still controlled by the website. And considering most of the people use chrome/chromium derivatives or YouTube app, it wouldn’t be hard for them to make it so that the player itself will collaborate with whatever they want to do.

If YouTube was a separate organization it wouldn’t have been the problem it is because of how Google has been taking over all the different parts they need for advertising.

There is one called OpenScan that’s available for Android

He edited it so now his account is no longer marked as bot. Maybe you’ll see others. Try searching for lemmy bots.

I was thinking the same.

Normally when you see the sign you just see “nothing” or “impossible” . But only on certain angle you see “nothing is impossible” , implying something that looks impossible is not impossible just look at it from a different angle.

Which is fun, but still people who are driving by and just see one side, or see that sign just one side from their window all the time, and are mildly depressed, might not appreciate it.

I’m on voyager. It shows up as an lil robot icon.

Yeah, I knew it wasn’t a bot reply, but since I thought you marked it as such it was a fun comment.

So the AI boom has made the bots depressed too huh …

I know, and no one will believe me

This. Whenever people use “if we don’t eat meat we need this much less land” I’m immediately thinking if we don’t need to plant all that grass and other things then people would just make more houses on those land not grow a forest.

But if everyone is using it to mean something new then we need to record that.

It doesn’t have cups? You should be able to install it and plasma’s ctrl+p should work with it.

How would the dog know, he’s never been outside Utah.

Now think, patents are similar things but for with more money. And imagine if someone else had similar idea and made slightly similar website you go sue them coz you had the idea first.

Those topics seems a little advanced for a Linux user without cyber security knowledge though. I personally don’t understand any of them lol. I know what hardening is, what CVEs are; but except for few anecdotes like the logj4, xz, etc, I don’t think I’d know enough to talk about the cyber security side of linux.

I was thinking more along the side of daily life things. Like how programmer like linux because it’s easier to develop things and manage environments and cross program compatibility.

What would be interesting topics in Linux for you guys. I am in a Linux student club, have no experience with cyber security except the generic things, and we are looking to attract cyber security students since Linux doesn’t have many students to maintain club status.

What distribution of emacs are you using? What setup for rust? Because the run/debug things work on mine.

Yeah, doing that in build.rs seems like a reasonable solution. Since we can’t do that using proc macros.

I don’t know if language server will keep giving me errors if the files are only linked through build.rs.

Thank you. Yeah, something like this would work for me as I can add in a script and run it before compiling. But it won’t be a cross platform solution and windows/mac users are probably not going to be able to do anything. Maybe if I do the same thing but from build.rs it’ll work. I’ll try that.

That seems like a good compromise if I don’t find something better. Thank you.

I’m hoping to make it easy for people to add more functions, that’s why I want minimal code change required to add more functions.
