@imecth @TheMilk @salacious_coaster @who This #linux bot which boosts everything linux is its own worst enemy, isn’t it?

1·11 days ago@yessikg @King @pressedhams It also tries a bit harder to look superficially like Windows.

9·24 days ago@TheTechnician27 @kittenzrulz123 The idea that you can run Firefox on a system with 1GB of RAM is laughable. I had to upgrade my system to 16GB because running Firefox in fewer became too painful.
@passepartout
Perhaps if AI were explicitly asked to write code in pidgin English (specifically something which is not meant to be compilable), and then that was used as the basis of actual code development?

@unknowing8343 @Custodian6718 Generally speaking not my opinion.
@thingsiplay @Sunshine That’s the most banal post I’ve read this year.
@Max_P @stewie410 This is just wrong. Taking a stand against things like this causes change for the better in the long run. Rails will survive without DHH, like Linux survived without Reiserfs and MySQL survived after Larry Ellison. There may be some pain involved, but we owe it to ourselves to tread the better path, and make bad people just socially unacceptable.
@slazer2au @Shadow_Glider And have you ever even tried Guix? Not systemd…
@Aatube Your web site seems to have an SSL problem.
@DmMacniel @melroy It is only political because politicians are conflicted: they make money joining boards of walled-garden firms, and owning stocks in such entities. Take that away and open source would be a no-brainer.
@FizzyOrange @morto #nix and #guix do exactly this. It is 2025.
OFF TOPIC, but, how do you do the stand-out quotes like that?
@imecth @stuner @littleomid @uthredii ``Rust implies only 1 thing, and that’s no memory leaks, assuming you don’t use “unsafe” code. It’s still very much vulnerable to logic bugs and has the same performance as c (GNOME) and c++ (KDE).‘’
Not only memory leaks, multi-threading generally is hugely safer under the watchful eye of the compiler.
It performs slightly better than C or C++; the compiler is able to make better optimizations thanks to deeper insight into the nature of given code.
@warm @LOLseas @0ndead @hellmo_luciferrari Because the British are still misunderstood by the rest of the world.
@Scoopta @cm0002 The point is that if everything was open Linux support would be so much better as we would understand the working of the hardware so much better, and we should do everything we can to discourage manufacturers from adopting this stance. FOSS has the great benefit that anyone in the world can improve it, and then share their improvements with everyone else. That makes a better world. Just better.
