I opened it, changed brush, got a segmentation fault crash lmao
Isn't C just wonderful?
Nice profile picture!
It's always the user's fault. Why do think you could change the brush using an UI element!?
Hey, it's open source. Just open a C project from the 90s and fix it yourself. Ez /s
Exact same thing happened to me. I opened it, read through the new welcome screen, and said ok let's go! First move was to select a brush and it crashed.
Nice. I wonder if they'd be open to rewriting portions in Rust to catch these types of issues with the compiler instead of the user. I'm willing to help if someone else gets the devs on board.
Is this what Rust is about? If so that's a nice perk!
Yeah, pretty much. A segfault happens when you access memory incorrectly, and Rust is all about correct memory access.
