Hah! Sorry for the poor copypasta, I just now realised that on lemmy my reply makes absolutely no sense.

On kbin I saw only a “cringe” reply and thought the copypasta would be fitting.

It still doesn’t make that much more sense, but eh… Guess I should give that migration feature a try.

there is virtualization so you can run windows on it and work with those pesky proprietary softwares, but yeah performance will never be better than running things directly (except games with shitty directx implementation that run better with dxvk, ie sekiro, elden ring), albeit it can get really close. If you’re into tinkering, this will not be a problem.

on that topic, I was considering giving cassowary a try since my partner uses some windows only software too, looked promising.

then there is the game problem, but really, unless you play something that uses anticheat that doesn’t support proton, you’re good to go.

I’ve been gaming on it for over three years now.

it’s been some time since I don’t fiddle with anything ai related (10 months), but I used hugging face spaces to test some uncesored stuff, but it’s trial and error. Some spaces allow it, some don’t.

I don’t know if it is still, but stable diffusion was the shit back then.

Just wash your flies before consumption.

picture a square that is n times n, grid size 1. cut it diagonaly, you have n²/2, but that leaves out the bunch of triangles that are 1/2 each. how many of these triangles are there? n.

so we are left with n²/2 + n/2.

which is (n² + n)/2.

which is n(n + 1)/2.

edit.: maybe using an irl example like counting steps on a staircase and their area could help ilustrate it better, idk.

This might help with that.

Still, I regret ever buying a Nvidia Optimus laptop.

Just a heads-up

this gets more disturbing the more I think about it

I’m just saying someone new in software development reading the comment I replied may misinterpret part of what they are saying as “all open source software is trustable” and reinforce that notion.

I’m not saying that lemmy devs have a higher chance of doing it bc they are tankies or whatever, no. They have no history of doing that and the project is so big and important that they really wouldn’t risk it; it is indeed a bit silly to defend my point in this specific thread, now that I think about it.

also, like @minimar said, it’s not how it works. most kind of obfuscation in open source code actually makes it easier to identify it as harmful. they are also found in libraries 99% of the time, not at the open source software repo itself. also, rust has no history of any harmful library.

anyway, sorry if I gave the wrong idea haha. just looking out for people who might have that notion, like I had.

but they can write malware and commit it to their repos.

the question is how long will it take for someone to recognize it. ie.: how well obfuscated is it?

not saying they gonna do it, just that doesn’t trust any code just bc they are open source
