  • Use a keyword, it’ll make your life a lot easier for parsing. If you’re reluctant on using “enum” as a keyword, you should check out OCaml/ML’s “type” keyword (they are the exact same contept: ADTs, but rust weirdly associates them with enums)

    Don’t use magic strings! Not only is this hard to check for errors while writing code, you also can’t tell easily if it is a normal string, or an enum.

    In my old project, my syntax looked like this:

    // Flavour and vec of ingredients
    type Food[T] {
      | Pizza str, vec[T]
      | Cake str, vec[T]
      | Soup vec[T]
    }
    

    not only is this easy to parse, i’d say it sticks true to its ML roots. You should check odin’s enum syntax if you’re keen on making a unique syntax.















  • Many can’t buy indexes as you said. I love the idea of them, but they’re just too damn expensive. On amazon (we have no official shipping in my country) they cost 10,000 RIYALS. That’s about ~3-4000 USD. No thanks, i’d do fine without VR then. and the mq 3 is about 3,000 riyals, or less than 1,000 dollars.

    ALVR is pretty okish. Last time i tried it it was very buggy. But that was a long time ago, i don’t know how it is now. Last time i checked i couldn’t use wivrn, but i’ll try it now, thanks




  • The ability to stream media from legit paid sources. (Netflix, Comcast, max, disneyplus, prime, I don’t know where the list is currently, but anything that bitches about user agent.)

    I thought all you needed was browser DRM to run those? Idk, I don’t use streaming services 🏴‍☠️

    And Isn’t TPM supported on Linux? It’s been in the kernel since 3.20, no?

    As for anti cheat, it’s a bitch to deal with, I agree. Same with HDMI,I think DP is superior but people should have freedom to make their one choices.

    And the rest? Idk. I use a web browser for all online things, from mail, to banking; so it doesn’t matter whether I’m on Linux or not.

    You raise some great points though. The average user isn’t going to use workarounds or alternatives, so we should focus on actually solving the problem instead of saying use this instead.

    I also tried setting up a VFIO machine for lack of good VR support (oculus🙄) and I cannot see a normal user doing that (Tbf it’s Meta’s fault, not Linux. But I think it still ties into my argument)

    And I heard basically everything except ardour and LMMS are broken or buggy on Linux (I’m no composer so I could be wrong)

    God, I wish I could permanently use Linux (NixOS❤️) but it’s just not ready yet.

    And don’t even get me started on NVIDIA 🥲


  • That really changed my viewpoint, thank you. I guess I was just mad at how much sympathy Americans are getting, yet people like me are persecuted everyday by our terrifying, practically all seeing governments. And what do we get as sympathy? Nothing.

    The middle east is a sealed jar of violence, with millions of lives at stake in it. It is chaos here. I have fully accepted the fact that there is no hope for this place anymore. It hurts to say, truly; but that’s life.

    But when trump got elected, I saw sympathy and solidarity with American minorities around the whole world. And I get it, I do. But what about us? Where were they when we were being murdered for wanting dignity? We’ve been living in misery for a century, yet no one cares.

    On a post of mine, showing blahaj zone got blocked due to censorship laws, a trans person commented this is what texas will do next. I commented my condolences, but I was kind of annoyed at how I was showing how censored and propagandized our lives are. Then she, as someone living in the free west, tries to equate our plight with theirs; I saw this as minimizing our issues. But I shouldn’t have seen it that way. She as I said, is living in the west. She isn’t used to our draconian laws, outlawing trans and homosexuality, living under an autocratic monarchy, not being able to criticize it at all. And when she felt a fraction of it, it was a tragedy. And it’s not her fault; she shouldn’t have to suffer like us for her struggle to be valid. She saw something weird, almost as if it was fiction, and couldn’t comprehend it, and tried to understand it with situations that affect her directly.

    I’ve gotten used to laws that seem dystopian, draconic or fictional to people living in the west. And to show you how horrible it is here, take this for example: ive said some things on this account, which are completely fine in a western country, but here? I could be executed by beheading for my comments. I still think they’re worth saying. I live in fear everyday, and some people living comfortably outside can’t comprehend it, and that’s okay.

    For the record, I grew up with unrestricted internet access and spent most of my time on the western internet. That’s how I’m so progressive compared to my peers, and how I know so much about the horrors of my own country.

    Thank you, you’ve opened my eyes on this. Sorry this got so long and dark. I wish you the best.



  • I’m not american thank god, i don’t have to live with those daily shenanigans (I mean, it’s not like living in a third world country is much better. but eh, what can you do lol) “Brain diarrhea” is the perfect word to describe US news, it’s just brainrot politics.

    But what really irks me more as some dude living in the middle east, is seeing a terrible news article about an woman getting killed for example, for not wearing the hijab; and some dipshit in the comment says “Republicans taking notes!!!” And it’s like that in every article.

    It’s depressing to live here, but seeing americans make our misery about them in literally every way is actually rotting my brain. I saw an article yesterday about Iraq planning to lower the age of consent to 9, and a highly upvoted comment was just about the US and republicans. Even when i complain about my country, some american has to compare Saudi arabia to the US for some reason lol

    Sorry, had to vent; Thank you, i wish you luck too!
