Wich is not x86… also the apple chips are arm so linux should work on them no?

Quatlicopatlix@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UKEnglish5·8 days agoYea my point was if people stopped using the apps then the big players will lobby the governemt to revert shit like that. But i also think that long term all big players would love to normalize taking your picture to open their app. Every bit of information they can sell is a win for them.
Quatlicopatlix@feddit.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UKEnglish41·8 days agoIts not like every industrie can somehow lobby every consumer right away when someone wants to make a new law… oh wait they do…
Quatlicopatlix@feddit.orgto Games@sh.itjust.works•PirateSoftware Leaves OffBrand Games as Stop Killing Games Reaches GoalEnglish7·1 month agoHe pretended like this would force studios to publish sourcecode and that they have to give up on drm. I am not shure if he or someone else said this but someone also pretendet like new laws would somehow retroactivly apply to all games and now sstudios would have to give up server code that propably has thrid party software in it that they dont have the right license to just release it.( this is also a point i read alot from comments everywwhere and its stupid.) First, anny new law will take a ton of time untill it iss written then passed and then goes into effect. If this law passes studios will know way in advanced that upcoming releases in the eu would be under this new law and therefore can take this into account when builsing their infrastructure for online play/drm like in case of the crew.
Also anyone who is active in piracy forums where devs work on stuffk ows that they dont need aourcecode to get it running. People will chow through assembly if they want to make a game work, some decompiled lego island over the course of a year to preserve it.
Quatlicopatlix@feddit.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Anthem servers shutting down January 12, 2026English2·1 month agoIt would not just be applied to titles that are punlished already. I dont get why people think that? The eu would write a law that then has to be passed and then be apllied to new releases in x years. Not retroactivly to old games.
For me its like “oh great a old textbook, now i can finally understand our legacy codebase”.
What do you mean? Its not the keybord that can decide if the hardware on the mobo is just a ps2 to internal usb adapter or not.
Ahh ok yea i also do some terminal shenanigans most in gdb to fix all the segfaults i make, git stuff and reading tons of compiler and cmake errors. Most time is spent thinking about what i broke and how, instead of typing.
I am a electrical engineering student in my last semester but i have been working at my position since starting uni. So my work is more low level stuff wirh c/c++, embedded linux and some pcb layouting. I dont think that i would ever use vim, sublime or vscode/vscodium is the sweet spot for me.
Ok but what is your job then? I do software development and in no way would it make my work faster if i can type 2 more words a minute because i dont type that much. Most time is used to read sourcecode, chassing references through the codebase and reading api references in the browser. If i have to do more hardware related stuff i would never want to use a keyboard to scroll through datasheets.
And i always thought Real™️ linux users dont need a desktop manager? No wait they need arch with a tiled window manager because it looks cool but actually dont do annything besides configure their install.
I work in a company that has a old codebse in c with tons of realtime intime stuff that is acessed via a shared memory from the realtime to the non realtime system. Tons of strucs get copied around then typecast to other structs and global variables all over the place. You never know where a variable is written to and where it is also acessed from or if it is just a copy. No assembly but still super obscure.
Seriusly, if you cant filter information or you are not able to react to your surroundings please dont drive. Half a second of reaction time more is a lot when you are driving a 2 ton car with 100kmh around… that si rhe reason drunk driving is not allowed or driving while high…
With embedded stuff its still done like that. And if you go from the arduino functionss to writing the registers directly its a hell of a lot faster.
Yea fair, i am beginning to get into making hardware work with cobbeling together device trees, i would have guessed that at least after some time the apple hardware would have been known well enough to make it work.
