@Tu9839963468194 @NavinFS @int_16h @TheGingerBill I'm sure I can find one anecdotal example as well.

@fdcbabcdf @NavinFS @int_16h @TheGingerBill While API compatibility is unrelated to the ABI stability discussion we're having, I downloaded DX-Ball from 1996, and a Tux Racer build from 2000. They both run without problems in Windows 11 by just clicking on the executable. Try that on Linux.

I don't know if a lot of people have thought why this happened. To make Linux viable for the layman, Valve had to make Proton (derived from Wine) so that Win32 API became the first and only stable ABI on Linux. Why did Linux Distro devs not care about stable ABI historically?

@NavinFS @Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill Bullshitttttt :DDD

@fdcbabcdf @Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill I am not. All my old games run just fine on W11

@NavinFS @Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill I think you're also overestimating how "easy" it is to get anything running that uses older DirectX/OpenGL/Vulkan/whatever else on newer Windows.

@fdcbabcdf @Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill No, literally every OS except Linux has solved this problem x.com/NavinFS/status…

@SoosMate @rebane2001 If I'd were a threat actor I would have a scanner running against that provider's IP ranges 24/7.

@rebane2001 lol I wouldn’t trust that VPS — some bots continuously knock and try easy passwords. They maybe have already been inside and installed a key logger & backdoor.

i set up a new vps at some weird provider and they sent me an e-mail with my vps credentials the root password said N/A, so you'd think that there's no root password by default. BUT NO! THE ROOT PASSWORD IS LITERALLY "N/A"!! AND SSHD IS EXPOSED ON PUBLIC IPV4?? THE FUCK ??

@nonbinary @rebane2001 some of those people are literally dumber than latest clankers

@rebane2001 why are people being so fucking stupid in your replies

@jefftheboxboy @katanapilled 99 sentences for this, 1 dialogue for first meet and inteoductionz

@katanapilled Now why is there so much dialogue variance for this 😭

He asked me to take a picture and I forgot to include him in it I can’t breathe

@ryanflorence Kill this shit with fire. It's not actually usable for anyone except neckbeards who larp that it is. Bajillion lines of tooling around it to make it vaguely usable.

Nobody needs to build a new github git was designed for smtp, dummies # make and email a patch git format-patch main..my-branch git send-email *.patch # Apply patches from a mailbox file git am < mailbox.mbox

@alkalinesec Add it to your project's dictionary? It's rather horrible to read code that has never seen a spellchecker, typos everywhere.

nothing pisses me off more than when an IDE has a normal dictionary spellchecker like yeah man i know that "nwidth" isn't in the dictionary i want to find the person who did this and arrange their intestines in a red squiggly line under their dead body

@Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill You brought in bullshit like Wayland and graphics drivers into this topic, yet Windows doesn't have a solution for that. It's a bunch of gum and tape. It's lovely how you try to pick a definition where Windows has a "solution" and Linux doesn't. Yet you're unable to define it.

@fdcbabcdf @int_16h @TheGingerBill The topic is "Win32 API became the first and only stable ABI on Linux", as you can see from the first tweet in this thread. Windows obviously has a solution when even Linux uses it for lack of options.

@LuftkoppTim They even do it when you have YouTube Premium. Won't downgrade on shit cellular internet in the middle of the woods on a tiny phone, but it'll eagerly drop you to 480p on your Apple TV 4K.

I get the financial reasoning behind it. It's solely for Youtube to save money. Most people would probably keep it at the max because "they can" and then watch 4K60 on their phone, where anything beyond 1080p makes virtually no difference. But holy fuck I HATE this so damn much. Not even mainly because it takes additional steps and bad animations but because YouTubes algorithm or whatever the hell they use to decide which resolution to use is SO BAD Oh you have 5mbit in a bad area? Weird, why is this 4K60 video not loading? *proceed to not change the resolution automatically* Nice, you have 400+ mbit? Enjoy 480p. *proceeds to not change the resolution* Okay you have around 30mbit (enough to watch ~4K30 / 1080p60) ... weird, 4K60 doesn't run smoothly. Let me downscale to 240p and never change it again

@Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill It literally is. You're pretending like Windows has a solution. It actually doesn't.

@fdcbabcdf @int_16h @TheGingerBill That's not the topic of the conversation however.

@Tu9839963468194 @crazyminecuber @TheGingerBill Can't help stupid like you.

@fdcbabcdf @crazyminecuber @TheGingerBill You didn't explain what you mean. I think I know why.

@Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill Stable ABI doesn't mean that graphics drivers don't change and your software doesn't break. It constantly does on Windows.

@fdcbabcdf @int_16h @TheGingerBill No, you don't need to, because Windows has a stable ABI.

@Tu9839963468194 @crazyminecuber @TheGingerBill It actually does not in practice.

@fdcbabcdf @crazyminecuber @TheGingerBill It works just fine, what do you mean?

@thdxr Not having to ship or use imagemagick is a huge win.

as usual bunch of people saying "this is bloat just use a library" image resizing particularly benefits from native code and libraries like sharp are always a pain to deploy into all environments because you need to build the native part

@mitsuhiko We can't even do UTF-8 in most places related to HTTP correctly. Simple will prevail even if it's worse for many.

I really felt HTTP/3 would finally make websockets die out, but then AI comes and brings websockets back. Really do not like the protocol at all. So many issues with it :(

@Tu9839963468194 @int_16h @TheGingerBill Do you do that on Windows?

@int_16h @TheGingerBill Do you also ship a selection of graphics drivers? Wayland?

@Tu9839963468194 @crazyminecuber @TheGingerBill You can't get that even on Windows. Try running something older that actually used accelerated graphics from a decade back or more. Wine *today* providing something that is more backwards compatible than Windows itself, is why "Win32 is stable" is actually mostly bullshit.

@crazyminecuber @TheGingerBill How do you get accelerated graphics that way? Shipping a Windows executable that can run with Proton is much more likely to work on a random Linux distribution.

@TheGingerBill Dumb take. Because you can build 99.99% of the software available for your distro without bothering yourself with the utter shit from an ass that is a "stable ABI".
