  • Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages

  • Brainlets are getting pissed off over the gender pronouns of a cartoon fox while the real thing to be pissed off about is that this mascot represents their intention to go all-in on shoving AI features into Firefox. Kit is going to be their Claude, Siri, "Hey Google", etc.

  • Sidenai/sidex: VS Code rebuilt on Tauri. Same architecture, 96% smaller. Early release.

  • Session is shutting down in 90 days

  • Damn in that case I guess I'll switch to Whatsapp /s

  • The founder of /e/os is anti-security

    Jump

  • I guess they found it difficult to resist the temptations of the data broker industry, and are now trying to pivot to a being iPhone style security theatre while profiting off selling their customer's data?

    Either that, or they have reason to think their users are stupid enough to fall for this? Personally, I have the same opinion of /e/os and fairphone users: they bothered to spend the time researching alternatives to the duopoly, yet they made the wrong choice anyways lmao

    Graphene just can't stop winning.

  • Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support

    • Most people are poor
    • Most people use Windows

    Coincidence?

  • Also, the dev's github profile pic looks like a 12 year old lol

  • OSINT Investigation Shows 3 Individuals Altered the Identity Infrastructure of GNU/Linux Permanently

    Jump

  • This is kinda weak IMO. Here's the "conflict of interest" they point out for Lennart Poettering:

    Co-founded Amutable seven months earlier. Amutable's stated mission is "cryptographically verifiable integrity for Linux workloads." Every new identity field in systemd strengthens the market case for commercial integrity tooling. Poettering made no disclosure of his commercial interest.

    So apparently his eyes turned to Looney Tunes dollar signs when he saw one new identity field? That's ridicuolous, especially since he can add whatever he wants to systemd, whenever he wants.

    Another conflict they point out is that systemd has no community steering committee or voting structure. Everyone knows this, it's not new, and it's part of the reason why people dislike systemd. It's also why the previous conflict doesn't make sense.

    The rest of the article is a dump of random facts and timelines, likely designed to build credibility in the minds of people who are already pissed about the age verification thing, and are looking (uncritically) for anything to make them more pissed. Aka, this is ragebait more than anything substantial.

    The only part that I think is actually worth pointing out is that the person who merged the PR is a Microsoft employee, and Microsoft is one of the companies that has lobbied for age verification. Idk if that's legally actionable, but it sure is useful context I didn't have before (although I'm sure many people did know that)

    Edit: LMAO and I forgot, Devuan is an anti-systemd distro. That's a conflict of interest they didn't disclose in this article either

  • Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare

  • And just imagine how high it could go this year if fucking RAM prices weren't exploding and Steam Machine/Deck/Frame could be sane

  • Claude Code Found a Linux Vulnerability Hidden for 23 Years

    Jump

  • I wonder how true that is. The author of this blog post seems to just be taking this guy's word for it. Did Anthropic actually confirm the bug exists by trying to trigger it on real systems, or are they assuming it's real because it looks plausible? The report claims you cam do it with two cooperating NFS clients, so did they actually do that, or are they just assuming it'll work?

  • Do you work for Zed or something? Why are you against this?

    If you're just a user, then when (not if) the project fully enshittifies, you'll be happy Gram exists.

  • If not Github, where would you host your projects?

    Jump

  • I self-host forgejo on a spare machine in my home. I also set up automatic encrypted backup using Restic on Backblaze (but any S3 compatible host will work). It might not be a perfect backup strategy, but it's good enough for me, and perfectly manageable with my limited skills. Using wireguard, I can easily access it from outside my home. I also get much better uptime than Github lol

    Importantly, I do NOT share this with anyone. It's purely for my own private development and personal projects (I have a ton of these). Even when contributing to something on github, I work in a mirror on my private forgejo, and only push to github to create the PR when it's ready.

    Any open source projects I've released (I only have a few) go on Codeberg, but I still have a lot of projects I contribute to and rely on that are on Github. That's really the hard part: getting other people to migrate to something else.

  • Spyware distributed using modified code in Nekogram release. Dev closes issue without response.

  • Why the fuck do people who know what a "github" is, much less how to post issues use Telegram?

  • More code, less delivery but does the CircleCI 2026 Report really show 1 in 20 teams are benefiting?

  • A bullshit report from commercial CI company peddling AI?!

  • Github, the first enterprise cloud solution to reach zero nines reliability

  • Sony is a close second, BTW

    Do you have any examples? I'm not familiar with any major acquisitions Sony has made. Afaik the "acquire company, fire everyone, and run the business into the ground" strategy is mostly an American phenomenon.

  • Zed is on the typical VC tech company path, which we all know can only end in one way: enshitification.

  • Is it bad form to patch a dependency?

    Jump

  • Yes and no. It depends on how you manage symbol visibility. There is such a thing as a "private" dependency. For example:

    • libA uses a patched version of libZ, and breaks ABI compat with the upstream version
    • Your program links with libA and upstream libZ dynamically

    If LibA links with libZ statically, and doesn't expose any internal libZ structures through its own APIs, then there's absolutely no problem. Your code will never directly interact with the internal libZ of libA.

    If LibZ is exposed by LibA, or LibA dynamically links with LibZ, then you have a problem. I'm not an expert on dynamic linkers, but they're might be some platform specific workarounds you can do.

    Something else I've seen before is some libraries use preprocessor macros for their namespaces. That way, you can change the namespace (and thus symbol names) at compile time. That way, you can have multiple copies of the same library coexisting, even with type safety at compile time.

  • I really like this version of the internet. Instead of everyone using a megacorp's giant centralized services, it's better to have a ton of small services made by and for real communities/groups. Git's decentralized nature is a perfect candidate for this, and I hope it takes off more.
