From a development perspective it certainly sounds easier to have one global timezone with DST than a bunch of smaller ones without it. Would that make sense in reality? Probably not but I definitely think timezones take more work to compensate for properly.
There was actually a really interesting idea I heard to have no time zones. And I actually think it could be a good idea. It’ll never happen because people would need to re-learn time but if it was always the same time everywhere it would make scheduling and business so much easier. No one would need to convert between different zones or be late because of an incorrect conversion. The downside is that times which are conventionally morning or evening etc, would no longer would be so people would have to get used to time just being a construct for scheduling and not a representation of the natural day/night cycle…but it actually doesn’t sound like a half bad idea.
🤔 I’m actually surprised it’s THIS customizable. We’re talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I’m not a huge fan of the “start menu/task bar” and having a desktop, maybe I’m the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren’t really my thing.
LOL, yeah, honestly with how hard I got ratioed it’s like I offended someone XD. I just found it an odd choice to complain about windows aesthetics and then be like “here’s my fancier windows” but to each their own. Anyway, glad you like the project and find it useful.
The windows UI being boring doesn’t necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn’t fix the problem IMO.
That’s fair, also I’m not saying KDE doesn’t have a use case, for example people who are tired of windows for one reason or another but like the windows UI. Cinnamon has a similar use case which is one of many reasons I think mint is a great starter distro. I just found it odd that somebody who didn’t like the windows UI went to that desktop over the other less Windows like desktops. Comment got ratioed so hard people seem to think I’m hating on the guy or his rice but I just find it odd to not like the windows UI and then go to one of the most Windows like desktops.
Huh, tbh I’ve never given KDE a real try. I used it way back in the day on OpenSUSE because I wanted a windows experience but that was when I was still playing around with Linux. I’ve never used it full time. My first full time DE was cinnamon and eventually I decided I wanted something radically different and so went to gnome 3 and never really considered KDE as radically different from anything I had used before.
const volatile is used a lot when doing HW programming. Const will prevent your code from editing it and volatile prevents the compiler from making assumptions. For example reading from a read only MMIO region. Hardware might change the value hence volatile but you can’t because it’s read only so marking it as const allows the compiler to catch it instead of allowing you to try and fail.
Yeah, I was ignoring apple platforms because Objective-C doesn’t even have its own header extension as an option. Also not all C headers do extern stuff…and it doesn’t fix 100% of compatibility problems when you do that anyway. Also I’m not really talking about it from a compiler perspective, I’m talking about it from an organization and human perspective. I know compilers generally don’t care…which is exactly how we ended up in this predicament.
Yeah. My original comment should have been “I wish people would use a C++ specific extension for headers.” I just picked hpp because cpp seems to be the most widely used C++ extension.
It’s actually not. Objective-C is a superset of C. C++ is not. It’s MOSTLY compatible…but it’s not a superset. See the restrict keyword, or the need for casting to and from void*, or the inability to name variables new or delete, or class, or this. I can’t count how many C projects I have which use this as a variable name that WILL NOT compile as C++…or the need for extern C to call C ABI code…in no way is it a superset
EDIT: lol, you can downvote me if you want but I think you need to lookup what a superset is
I’m curious about something so I’m going to throw this thought experiment out here. For some background I run a pure IPv6 network and dove into v6 ignoring any v4 baggage so this is more of a devils advocate question than anything I genuinely believe....
I’ve been using duckduckgo for years ever since I degoogled but I’m increasingly annoyed by its complete lack of IPv6 connectivity. I use NAT64 and so it works fine but it bothers me to use services that don’t have v6. Does someone have a good non-google IPv6 search engine that’s privacy respecting?
TIL that apparently capital one was assigned the entire 2630::/16 block…which is the largest assignment I’ve seen to date. Does anyone know of other absolutely massive allocations…are there even any others this large?

IPv6 subnetting thought experiment
I’m curious about something so I’m going to throw this thought experiment out here. For some background I run a pure IPv6 network and dove into v6 ignoring any v4 baggage so this is more of a devils advocate question than anything I genuinely believe....

Search engine recommendations
I’ve been using duckduckgo for years ever since I degoogled but I’m increasingly annoyed by its complete lack of IPv6 connectivity. I use NAT64 and so it works fine but it bothers me to use services that don’t have v6. Does someone have a good non-google IPv6 search engine that’s privacy respecting?
Anyone know of other assigned /16s
TIL that apparently capital one was assigned the entire 2630::/16 block…which is the largest assignment I’ve seen to date. Does anyone know of other absolutely massive allocations…are there even any others this large?
Google ipv6 statistics page have started updating again. (www.google.com)
