@RememberMe I use it almost every day. But who the fuck cares jesus christ use what the fuck works for you
How about bragging shit about tmux for once -
@Demolishun
Noooo, you can't say emacs without the stallman faithful crawling out from under the refrigerator 💀 -
@SortOfTested i know, I am about the only emacs user that loves everything GNU EXCEPT for Stallman. Can't stand that quirky mfker

@AleCx04
How the fuck can you love everything about GNU?
I mean, pretty much everything by GNU these days, is a bloated pile of legacy code and non-standard behavior, waiting to collapse and throw the world back into the middle ages, because everything is build on top of that garbage.
BTW that's a serious question, I expect an answer. -
@Demolishun
Not at all.
Let's look at alpine-linux.
It uses musl, not glibc.
It replaces coreutils,findutils,bash with busybox.
It uses syslinux instead of Grub.
The linux-kernel can be compiled with clang instead of GCC (thanks to the llvm-team for working on supporting the non-standard mess that GCC introduced).
The only reason GNU is seen as a hard-dependency of nix is, that there is so much software that is build on said non-standard implementations and now no one wants to get rid of it. -
@metamourge
This. though unfortunately the first thing I usually do is re-add glibc -
@Demolishun
GCC (regarding mostly C):
- inline function declarations.
- extended assembly
- computed goto
Glibc:
- reference counted dlopen
- dlclose is an actual function instead of no-op (don't know if its still)
- several abort-instead-of-report situations
At least that's what I can recall from the back of my head. -
@metamourge to be honest I was aiming more at "i love everything gnu emacs" rather than literally everything GNU. If i work with C and C++ in my machine which is normally academic stuff (read as in I have no professional experience in C or Cpp) i stick to the GCC just cuz I don't dig in deep as you probably do to know better.
(which I really don't in terms of C or Cpp)
Before GNU what was standard compliant thought? I am also asking seriously :V don't wanna make you think that I am being snarky or anything man -
wannabe5235yI only read devrant using vim and curl. How do I post, you ask? i use emacs, it can perform http requests
