The mentioned guix or more popular nixos arguably handle this better than traditional distros

You can make as many dimensions as you want as long as you clean them up when youre done

If you'd prefer native to using an unpopular tool thats archived since 2023, try this site.

All you have to do is click on the revision you want to install, and it provides instructions to install it (having the benefit of being actually using the native package manager instead of just storing some binaries somewhere exclusive to the app)

Surprised there was a non-nix way to achieve this honestly, even if it is a bit hackey

Man doesnt even know distrobox exists

(Or flatpak of appimages or any other containers)

Good luck even finding something not in nixpkgs though

GCVE is more confusing if anything

From a comment on the article

I love compression, I love ffmpeg and I love more performance, but… FFV1 is ffmpegs own, old lossless compression format for archival purposes. It is not particularly bad, but it is also not particularly good or modern.

So?

Doesnt mean expensive ones are an instant success either, if anything I'm agreeing with you that graphics are irrelevant to sales

Honestly looking at the most popular games, I dont think graphics matter to even 1% of gamers. Minecraft, Terraria, lethal company, baltro, among us, all have the graphical quality of a 2 year old drawing.

Publishers are just spending a million to underpay artists solely because 'graphics' worked back in the ps2-ps3 era, so theyre still hitting that slot machine hoping for the same returns.

Edit to add: tunic, factorio (technically) Tetris, temple run, hill climb racing, Wii sports (arguably nindendos entire style until recently), human fall flat all have incredibly cheap graphics

Kinda feel like they said something like

"I think everyone should have food"

And you responded with

"you want a Walmart on every block in the world?? do you even know the environmental impact that will have? Poor people are really to blame anyways because they're not voting with their wallets enough"

How an asshole can mess something up is entirely independent of how a proper implementation might not mess up

Edit to say: I think this is what they meant in their comment about (American) capitalist propaganda; You dont realise your implicit bias enforcing that it must be a capitalist implementing it without any external input.

To the rest of the world he's just an infamous citizen in a dying country, who would never realistically have 1/10th the pull needed to enforce that BS internationally; by starting the conversation at best he'd speed up external implementations.

You looked into flatpaks?

They work using namespaces and cgroups like containers, but have a much more unified system than podman/docker

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Glad they finally managed to implement a library thats existed (at least) since 2020.

Only difference I see is that previous attempts didnt have googles infinite budget to waste the electricity required to get there.

Jesus Christ, and we consider ourselves above 'slave labour' when most of those people are probably just there to get a meal. Worst part is all these cuts are just to help Amazon's bottom line.

Ive only ever worked with smaller boats or electrical rigs pulled out of larger freighters, from that view alone it blows my mind half those boats are even afloat.
