But why not host your own blog, so that there isn’t a paywall from which you don’t get any benefits from?

God damn Adobe… we know you are bad but not THAT bad.

Given the nature of JS running only on a single thread. Promises/asynchronity is the only way to keep the browser from locking up.

Thus insisting on any other way is a major flaw in the developer not the language.

The API doesn’t restrict the amount of bytes to be hashed. So yeah it’s still heavy lifting.

Trigger a loading event after the constructor is finished that the view model takes to calculate your hash.

Sounds like an architectural issue to begin with. A constructor shouldn’t do the heavy lifting to begin with.

its a good idea to be as non blocking as possible especially on time and resource consuming tasks like IO, cryptography, …

just use await in an async function.

Mounted as / and /home

Yeah that’s really odd.

What does df -h in your terminal say how much free space your system has?

I agree that learning Linux, when all you’ve known was Windows, is hard.

My first computer had only PCDOS (it was the early 90s) and I’ve never been afraid of a black screen with a white cursor blinking.

But I refuse that someone who would be interested in Linux, would just willy nilly install it, has to resort to the terminal, is faced with the sudo screen and then just give up. It’s after all not a drop in replacement, neither is macOS.

So where did that interest stem from?

• Influencers on Social Media? Why not ask those, asking questions doesn’t make you look stupid (unless the questioned are stupid themselves and have a superiorty complex).

• As a recommendation from a friend? Well that friend totally is now their tech support for anything linux.

• Or they are own their own but then that curiosity has to be quite immense to begin with and something like a terminal wouldn’t deter them.

you can get a mini PC for 87€ with BETTER performance than the Pi 5?

We are looking at:

2.4 GHz, 4GB of RAM, 4kp60 HECV de/enconding.

NO WAY. Sorry I didn’t realise how a

64-Bit CPU with a clockspeed of 1.8 Gigahertz with RAM of up to 8 Gigabytes, USB connectivity, HDMI outs, Wifi and other shit

could EVER be superior to a (respective to an Amiga 500)

16-Bit computer with a speed of 7.16 MEGAhertz with 512 KILOBYTES of RAM

You REALLY opened my eyes.

(sorry for being overly sarcastic)

or you know, you could ask people. You wouldn’t start linux if you aren’t curious and or have someone in your circle who knows about linux a bit more.

There is one simple question you gotta ask yourself.

Is it worth it to press SysReq without knowing what it will do?

“do you feel lucky, punk?”

GUIs regularly freeze up with even less indication of what’s going on (do you wait a few seconds or half an hour when the beach ball isn’t spinning)

mhm, i totally love how cp, mv, rm doesn’t show ANYTHING resembling progress while it shows a simple blinking cursor, it doesn’t event prevent the user from typing anything.

mhm but the first time you invoke sudo, you get hit with that sudo warning which should trigger something in the user that perhaps they should rethink what they are doing.

Okay, I wanted to say that the computer would be integrated just like the computers I mentioned.

Well yeah of course you can. The pi 400 is even an official computer kit turning it into a homecomputer akin to a commdore 64/amiga 500/acorn/bbc micro etc.

I guess RuneLite as an AppImage?

Well, I hadn’t had a KDE dev account until now :)
