You picked out my one argument where you have a (weak) counterargument and then declare there’s no other arguments. Does not sound like you want to understand…

Just as an example, neither the C++ documentation nor its sagely bloggers have ever shown why it is a good fit for, say, systems programming. A really neat way of handling bit-level data is actually in Erlang’s bit syntax.

Erlang requires a runtime environment, which disqualifies it for situations where you don’t have a filesystem to load the runtime from, like developing a kernel or for microcontrollers.
Of the popular languages, your choices are virtually just C, C++ and Rust for that.

More towards your general question: Not needing a runtime environment also means you can use C, C++ and Rust for cross-language libraries. For example, SQLite and OpenSSL have just been implemented once in C, and then you simply have a thin wrapper for Java, Python etc…
If you are looking to build a library that can be used by as many devs as possible, that’s a selling point which is hard to ignore.

On Android, Vanilla Music has it. Although the app is unfortunately semi-broken on newer Android versions and not being updated anymore, because Google came up with an even more fucked up API for accessing files in the filesystem.

Deleting songs doesn’t work anymore. Not sure, what else is broken…

Well, politics isn’t about finding the one principle to rule them all. The folks/companies that find restricting access to children important, probably don’t particularly care about some Linux devices being excluded. And other folks/companies find not restricting their Linux server really important, so that’s a compromise that can be made.

I imagine, they landed on specifically open-source being excluded as the more abstract rule, because open-source in particular has a problem here.
Anyone can download open-source software and run it. In most cases, there is no central backend, which could handle age verification.

And even if there is, it’s not really financially viable to offer that for anyone who downloads the software for free. Requiring payment to access the binaries or the source code would also effectively kill the open-source ecosystem, which is also not in the interest of most people.

Looks like a Logo script to me…

I always have to open catbox.moe videos in the browser. For whatever reason, they won’t play in the app (Jerboa in my case).

Hehe:

Not hehe:

Problem is that it’s not at all trivial to implement, so it often isn’t implemented.

Expecting the runtime/browser to ship a native implementation of virtually everything you might want to do in a turing-complete language, is also really not sustainable, though.

That’s funny. I also use it (semi-)regularly for Krita, Inkscape, MusicBrainz Picard, LibreOffice, and well, not Prism Launcher but Luanti.

I also have GIMP and some other games in the rotation.
My metric is kind of that if I don’t use a piece of software as often as I update my system, then it’s not really worth including into the system updates. Of course, I also have to not mind waiting for it to be installed, when I do want to use it.

I also like how they claim it’s completely different to KRunner and then, save for OCR and whatever “circle to search” is, these are all features in KRunner.

More of a general tip: https://reuse.software/ can help to get this stuff right.

Pretty sure, it won’t be able to help with your use-case of copy-pasting code snippets, though (it’s not at all trivial to know which parts you copy-pasted), but it gives you a structure to work with and can automatically annotate new source files.

Hmm, I’m not sure you do. It’s a pun. “Just dua lipa” sounds like “just do a leap-a”, like someone with an Italian accent might sound like.

Took me a moment to get it, too, though…

Looks like a typo: [email protected]

df only shows partitions, whereas du adds up the file sizes in the directory you specify.

So, in particular, if you want to find out what’s taking up so much space, you can repeatedly run du -sh * and cd into the largest directory.

They mention it at the beginning: https://www.luanti.org/

It’s basically a community-developed platform for Minecraft-like games.

fires may produce plasma if hot enough.

Depends how violently you fart, I guess.

Yeah, it was a bit of a joke, because we do tend to take them a bit too serious. 😅

“Religionsfreiheit” ? 🙃

The atoms are there for sure, but we could argue, whether it is a thing/object without an animal being aware of it, since it’s us that define things to be objects.

The universe doesn’t care whether a pile of atoms behind Pluto happens to be chair-shaped. It’s only when we look at it, that we declare it an object.
