Linux has tried to include CPP in it, and it failed.
So imagine if trying to fit in a C-like cousin failed, how far they are to fit an alien language like Rust…
But that wasn’t about the syntax, but about the fastnesses, size and control, want it? Things that shouldn’t be much of an issue to Rust.
Anyone with physical access to the computer also has full file system access and could wipe everything, even without password or technical knowledge.
TBF first time I saw KDE I called it “Can’t believe it’s not Windows” the DE.
It looks pretty kool, even if it looks very much like Windows
You can also bookmark comments on Lemmy, and copy the comment URL and store that in (synced) browser bookmarks!
Oh, copy the comment text and save it in a text- or markdown-file on your devices, in case it gets taken down! You can even for the text in case you forgot where you kept it!
I know they’re not, I never said they were
True, but for me and many others USBs are also just massively portable. Since macOS, Windows and many others (phones, consoles, smart TVs…) don’t speak ext4 but do all speak FAT32 and exFAT, that makes exFAT the way to go on USB drives.
FAT32 does not just work for my Linux OS.
To people who just want to browse the web, use Office applications and a few other things, ext4 just works and FAT32 really just doesn’t.
I get the point you’re trying to make, FAT32 also has a small file size and is missing some features, ext4 is like that to for instance Bcachefs.
But FAT32 (and exFAT and a few others) have a completely different use cases; I couldn’t use FAT32 for Linux and expect it to work, I also couldn’t use ext4 for my USB stick and expect it to just work as a USB stick.
I wonder if they’re supported on Windows with Chrome…? Maybe this is a case of simply replacing the UA string?
And because it looks like C, JavaScript, Bash and a few others all mixed up together.
I’ve heard Rust described as “Rust is what you get when you put all the good features of other programming languages together. You can’t read it, but it’s freaking fast!”
