@scathach sorry but im gonna keep using it in my scripts you can't stop me

@lucy @scathach sad gnu hurd noises

@lucy @scathach need an os where the components are on separate microcontrollers talking over i2c

@lucy @scathach @hj immutable strings are a dumbass brainworm that’s just causing memory fragmentation all over the place

@lucy @scathach @hj fuck the sensitive mathbrains tbh, the hardware is nothing but mutable state so that’s what you gotta work with if you want to write real software that doesn’t run like absolute dogshit

@lucy @scathach @hj i mean global mutable state in something like a library is pretty horrible though because it prevents reentrancy

@lucy @scathach @hj i mean just look at libc, it’s nothing but hateful shit you can’t or don’t want to use because of global state nonsense

@scathach @hj @mia do you consider something like

static uint64_t myvar = 0;

in a file to be global? it’s only accessible (on source level) within that file

@lucy @scathach @hj people literally copy and paste musl code for some string conversions because they want a locale-invariant version and in libc you cannot have that. you can’t even generate or parse a string with floats without some other code in a different thread changing your decimal point into a comma while you’re in the middle of it

@lucy @scathach @hj i cannot BELIEVE that it’s 2025 and we are still deploying this kind of garbage code written by some mouthbreathing unix retard in the 70s

@scathach @lucy @hj so you’re more worried about side effects than global state
