I purchased a #Dell G7 15.

It's a 15.9 inch #laptop, which is larger than I've ever owned, but it's very easily user-serviceable and supports an M.2/NVMe SSD, a 2.5 inch SATA drive, and 2 RAM slots (up to 32GB).

Also it has an #Nvidia GTX 1060 Max-Q and fairly decent battery life!

Will report more once I install #Manjaro #Linux.

Also, is it possible to switch all follows for moved accounts? That seems like it would be pretty useful.

Is there an easier way to add people to lists than to click the list, click settings, search for them, and click add?

The search feature is rather anemic and I'm attempting to categorize all 250 of my follows.

"We are building worlds, communities, tools & careers"

You're definitely building one of those things 🙃

In literally ELEVEN FUCKING YEARS you haven't bothered to make a port. Android? sure. Not Linux.

Good to know that your game, which STILL thrives on what are essentially volunteer contributions that you resell, which is STILL driven by an open source community of Lua developers and game designers, is fully embracing the "screw linux" mentality.

So no, I'm not going to apply for your job. I'm going to stay as far the fuck away as possible. Go to hell.

No need to read it. TL;DR, a developer asks for help with dev tooling for Roblox on linux and is told, in rapid succession, that linux's market share is too small, that linux graphics drivers are broken, and that it's not worth the staff developers' time to port the game.

After being offline for about 3 months, I managed to get onto the forums again to ask about Linux support, since I'd gotten Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope running on my father's 4-year-old (at the time) laptop.

I got smug responses about how I should use a "real" computer and shouldn't "insist" on using Linux.

The laptop couldn't boot Windows.

Today, I found a similar thread on the dev forum from last year. https://devforum.roblox.com/t/proper-support-for-the-linux-platform/56544/10

So, after seeing some posts about a position at the Roblox company, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and look up the Roblox account I made when I was nine. Yep, 9 years old. I found a forum backup and read my posts.

I got into Lua programming almost immediately afterwards, and release my first "open source" (though I didn't know to call it that) code a few months later - a small utility library used in my procedural terrain generation code.

Weeks later, my Windows machine died.

So I may have just started down the path of implementing a #RISCV RV64-IMAFD software core in #rustlang #rust.

It actually seems like it won't be particularly difficult! (yeah, I know, famous last words)

Really, though, once I have the instruction set encoded in Rust's type system, all I'll need to do is:

* parse memory images (bit streams)
* encode processor and memory state
* encode semantics for instructions! (that's the fun part 😅 )
