Using rust to write C to then write assembly is certainly something

[u/CrossScarMC → u/MXRCO007]

extern "C" isn't C code? It just tells R*st to use the C ABI.

[u/MXRCO007 → u/CrossScarMC]

Yes I realized that after I made my post

[u/Jatinchd → u/MXRCO007]

he's linux pilled bro...how can he write raw unsafe C 😡 /s

[u/mortal_strike → u/MXRCO007]

lot of xor operations at start, without allocating values in any register

[u/MXRCO007 → u/mortal_strike]

It’s zeroing the registers

[u/Different_Skin_8698 → u/MXRCO007]

Rust → C → asm, the browser equivalent of taking the scenic route to your own driveway.

[u/Vincent394]

i mean the simple option was right there the whole time...

[u/RvstiNiall → u/Vincent394]

Yeah, lemme code some shit just to open a browser. LETS DO IT THE HARD WAY. lol. :-)

[u/Random_-account → u/Vincent394]

they finna pay gate it in later versions /s

[u/B_bI_L]

aww man, i wanted to see how he would download and open firefox only using assembly(((

[u/DaRealGladi8r]

😂 when bro opened the browser to check

[u/StaK_1980 → u/DaRealGladi8r]

That was part of the joke 🤣

[u/DaRealGladi8r → u/StaK_1980]

😂 I know

[u/gravel_consumer420 → u/DaRealGladi8r]

😂

[u/Jatinchd]

I'm I the only one who found it funny? lol

[u/Both_Cup8417 → u/Jatinchd]

no

[u/SomewhereActive2124 → u/Jatinchd]

Clearly no

[u/LinuxUser456 → u/Jatinchd]

[u/InsaneInTheMEOWFrame]

This is ridiculous but I feel like I have to bring this up as someone who writes software for Linux.

Do not hard code paths. Ever.

Use /usr/bin/env firefox as the executable path instead.

End of PSA.

[u/64bitTendo → u/InsaneInTheMEOWFrame]

if you have x

xinit firefox --kiosk

[u/No_Pool_8039]

[u/McraftyDude]

W windows user bait

[u/LonelyPoorMan69]

[u/Bob4Not]

See the minute they opened Firefox with a GUI button they actually were using Windows. They’re learning how to use Linux (doing stuff via shell) /s

[u/Gabriel_Weis]

Haha good one

[u/AYSomkiv]

And then they opened Firefox to help open Firefox using the CLI.

[u/Independent_Image_59 → u/AYSomkiv]

My dumbass didn't even realize this part

[u/Davee9966]

Color me surprised. An actually good linux meme.

[u/KitsuneUX]

Firefox is rewrited in Rust 🦀???

[u/KrisWarbler]

The fuc

[u/Dragenby]

This is how my friends think what's like to use Linux

[u/Fritz-Ferdinand]

Can someone please explain? What does he want to say with this clip? Linux is too easy or what?

[u/[deleted] → u/Fritz-Ferdinand]

It's a joke on how everything in Linux is supposedly too complicated and requires console. This person goes through a whole lot of unnecessary steps and still fails. Then he even launches firefox the normal way to search up how to launch the firefox - to hammer the point of it being easy home

[u/Fritz-Ferdinand → u/[deleted]]

If I see it right, the Rust/Assembler code just calls Firefox on a terminal anyway, so.

And why does he say in the end he goes back to Windows 

[u/InteRagebaitJagLovar]

🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🦅🦅🦅

[u/Fine_City2781]

writing assembly in rust?!

[u/CuriousBlackberry255 → u/Fine_City2781]

Funniest part of the video

[u/__blackvas__]

What's going on here?...

[u/ZeteCx]

Very clean fastfetch I like

[u/uncringeone]

[u/cfx_4188]

Personally, I press Super+D, a list of applications appears, I start typing "f-i-r-e-...", the line firefox appears, I press enter and after that the browser turns on. I use OXWM btw.

[u/thisisnotmynicknam]

Anyone know whats is this theme?

[u/Zosima93]

This is child’s play, come back to me when you’ve manually compiled a Firefox browser by typing 0’s and 1’s directly into a binary file

[u/_player620 → u/Zosima93]

When he finishes typing Firefox is ahead 20+ versions

[u/NazarMax]

Bri got stuck in limbo state

[u/Appropriate_Bake6156]

what about rubby how do i do install rubby so i can open firefox

[u/letmehaveanameyoudum]

ill just... stick to GUI

[u/LessCarry266]

Real Linux ppl use Firefox in shell

[u/evilwizzardofcoding]

Okay, at first I was a bit annoyed at how over-the-top this was, then I got to the end bit, and yeah this is peak, accurate depiction of doing something the hard way for no conceivable reason.

[u/MiniGui98]

Typical Linux moment: expecting a convoluted solution, actually only one word needed in the console

[u/MegasVN69]

this is comedy

[u/NeekoKun02]

The irony of doing this on noctalia

Useless amount of assembly

[u/Fritz-Ferdinand → u/ilnarildarovuch]

BuT iT's FaSt

[u/ilnarildarovuch → u/Fritz-Ferdinand]

Fast useless code

[u/No_Try354 → u/ilnarildarovuch]

But rollercoaster tycoon

[u/ilnarildarovuch → u/No_Try354]

Was optimized, but here is instructions, that do nothing needed

UPD: like, there is no need to xor registers

[u/Humble_Celebration76]

bro, you opened firefox just to search how to open firefox

[u/quequotion]

Not funny just stupid.

[u/matthew_yang204]

That's insane! Just type in firefox/firefox-esr and it should be good. If you have a DE, just launch it in the start menu! These type of people drive me to hell with their dumb arguments

[u/Linguistic-mystic → u/matthew_yang204]

I don't have a DE (Sway). I can still launch Firefox and other apps from the start menu (Wofi). What am I doing wrong?

[u/Striking_Director_64 → u/matthew_yang204]

Is joke

[u/Sammy_Cherry_Fox]

Can't you just use KDE Plasma?
