I don’t agree with /u/red-crayon-scribbles ’ approach to memory safety, but what you’re saying isn’t entirely true either.

It is possible to manipulate memory in ways that do not conform to Rust’s lifecycle/ownership model. In theory, this can even be done correctly.

The problem is that in practice, this leads to the following, many of which were committed by some of the most highly skilled C developers alive, including major kernel contributors:

I just finished Crysis and Crysis: Warhead. Crysis took the c1launcher mod to start, Warhead just needed the env vars.

Hope I’ll have the energy to dive back into Death Stranding soon. If not, I’ll have another shot at MGS1. Last time I got to the sniper duel (on my phone with RetroArch and an old Xbox controller) and then when I got my Deck, the save refused to load. Been long enough that I wouldn’t mind starting over.

I never played the original MGS series, first I got into it was MGS: Peace Walker on PSP, absolutely loved it, got hundreds of hours in it, then did a bit of MGS V but never finished that either.

Oooh XWVM is awesome! I’ve seen it and am thoroughly impressed but haven’t dared to try it on Linux yet, let alone on the Deck.

Could you write a blog or a post here of how to get it to work on plain SteamOS?

If selfhosting the family chat is not a goal in itself and it’s about privacy or being independent from big tech, just take the loss and go to Signal. Much smoother experience than any self-hosted messenger can provide for now.

Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server

You couldn’t be more wrong. 🍉🍉🍉

Of course, if you’re living in Russia, it’s dangerous to state anything other than support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t cringeworthy to watch someone awkwardly dance around it, trying to ignore it while complaining about (checks notes) losing a bit of reputation over an unnecessary war that their country started and which literally cost thousands of lives.

Any Russian who stands up against that is incredibly brave. The others, just different levels of sad. Non-Russians who support Putin are the worst.

I understand why you’d want FOSS to not care abot borders, wars and politics and that is noble. But to call this comment racism, comes across as a veiled show of support for Putin. As if critiquing his invasion is a racist act that hurts the Russian people. Putins invasion is hurting the Russian people. Not this comment.
