> C really is mainly for fast performance and low level systems stuff, and anyone who tells you that you need to understand OOP garbage to write systems code
I haven't seen any real system level code in any sort of OOP, I'm sure it exists, but very rare from what I can tell. The best case is Arduino libraries really what come to mind, and that's just so things feel more comfortable to a broader range of developers. OOP is a core of CS fundamentals in college (or at least was the whole time I was there). Only the EE and CPE people learn in functional stuff because thats all we used.

Yup it's a fun time. It's not for every task. Pick the right tool to do the job is far more important. C will always be there when we need it. It's an important language and I hope we keep it alive for as long as we can.

Then you got people like me that think C is the way it should be. Specifically C99 imo. That is neat btw, adding it to bookmarks

Glad you found the one for you. Keep my npub if you want to do more C/C++ things :)
C++ is everything some dream of C with all the modern OOP. Yeah it's a beast, even systems developers admit that. Since C++ is a superset of C you can abuse C++ with C patterns (and many do because when in doubt just access memory directly) C++ adds many complicated features as security mechanisms to leverage the compiler (templates specifically) to help you make better patterns if you want to.
Imo C++ is a complexity short-cut, steeper initial learning curve, but dividends in high level applications compared to writing C. That an C++ has actually package management solutions where C doesn't really.
Finally since C/C++ compilers literally take individual C files, assemble them, and then implement machine code (translational units) called object files, it's a super manual process which is where GNU Make and CMake come in, both of which require their own languages too. Noscrypt (my nostr cryptography library) has like a 600+ line CMake file just to orchestrate the build lmao. So you're not just learning to write code in the language, you're also learning the compiler and build system.
Before I even write a line of code for a hardware project I read the manufactures' compiler manual. Because you may not realize that int is actually not an int at all, or the register keyword will cause stack issues because registers are limited. In C it's forced and for good reason, but not everyone needs to learn system level programming to get the job done @npub1ecd…s735 can speak to this as well I'm sure

Can we get nip46 encryption updated? The issue is dead on the repo. Were just doing it at @npub1s3h…75wz

As mentioned downloading APKs are the first-hand way to install apps directly from the author.
Obtainium is a 3rd party app store taht allows you to fetch APKs from their source. That's my go-to for Android now and it's easier to get updates automatically rather than remembering to go to the authors website and download the new update. Obtianium has some quirks but for most FOSS android apps it works great. It relies on GitHub releases, F-Droid and a couple other common places, but it also allows scraping of html websites for APK links from the author.

> i mean, who the fuck ever thought it would be a good idea to make a job market
So dumb, horrible culture idea imo
I was trying to play the game, so many applications require your LinkedIn profile url to submit it (many actually check the url for correctness)
>nostr is my new job marketplace now anyway haha, or at least telegram anyway
Glad that's been working for you!

Might just be me but some reading seemed like it eventually happens to everyone. All you have to do is log in from another computer or change your IP address and you're flagged. If you ever get locked out, it requires ID verification.

I keep most of these bookmarked! I think I have quic, brotli, and a few others are in there. I also think I have one for bgp and other crypto things

I knew LinkedIn was a giant piece of shit, so this just confirmed it. You get locked out if you don't verify identity in a certain period of time. A smart phone and app is required in order to upload verification data (government id and a selfie). You cannot contact support unless to can sign in.
So to recap, I cannot access, edit, or delete my account without sign in, I cannot sign in unless I verify my identity, I cannot verify my identity without a smart phone and their fucking app, I cannot contact support to help me without access.
This is by design. Instagram and Snapchat also require the app to be installed on a smart phone before web access can be temporarily authorized.

Yeah that's for mobile unfortunately and I don't use a smartphone. I also connects directly to Youtube servers which I cannot do on my network :(

Yeah FreeTube has been broken for me for a while. It also falls back to Google servers which I have blocked on my network is the issue.

It looks like Google (YouTube) has successfully blocked privacy video proxy services Invidious and Piped completely at this time.
Any recommendations for accessing YT without contacting resolving Google domains is welcome.
