Why so they have to work 100% like the original tools? Why can't it overlap and add more? Why can't it remove features that are confusing or a security liability?
Wy rename them? This exactly gives people the opportunity to contribute stuff to standard tooling without having to go through a mailing list and with a much better developer experience.
Yes, it's on Microslop Github, but I have hope they'll see the light and move away from that AI riddled big tech platform. At the latest when forgejo or another forge implements federation.
Regardless of how secure and safe GNU coreutils are, requiring people to learn a memory unsafe language in order to contribute isn't good. It's the same as having COBOL control most of the financial system and other legacy systems. It's better to rewrite those things in modern languages early on than 50, 70 or 100 years later.
Bugs will occur, that's hardly an argument against progress nor is it an argument for standing still. It's good that bugs existed. It was a learning opportunity for the rust core utils. We learn by making mistakes. The people involved in the bug fixing and those who read the bug reports undoubtedly learned a thing or two that they can use to improve the rust ecosystem and bring to other projects.
CVEs exist and will continue to exist as long as software exists. Logic CVEs will probably exist forever, but practically eliminating an entire class (memory safety CVEs) allows concentrating on logic. I'd argue that's a much better way forward.
Let's not try and widen the scope. Some boomer politician already tried to shove "child protection" crap into the stop killing games proposal. If we all start demanding more stuff be added, it'll die before it even reaches a vote.
Keep it laser focused on keeping games alive past EOL. Nothing more. That alone would be a big win and allow for more later.
A few of you. The rest can barely operate a smartphone let alone do online banking, much less understand a phishing scam.
The problem though isn't that people in general lack the understanding or capability to operate computers, it's that we live in a society where continuous learning is not encouraged nor funded. Education is seen a means to an end, and learning isn't seen as a way of life.
If the government either provided or paid for lifelong learning, things would be very very different. For example when new tech comes out affecting everybody, it should be encouraged to take a week or two off work, at full pay or paid for by the government, to stay current. But right now, only the wealthy and lucky few can even afford that.
They do say that. Has the article changed since you read it?
Looks like it did indeed change. I'm glad they now mention forgejo. They are doing terrific work and have evolved a lot since codeberg started using it.
And it is important what the government is doing. If they were writing it from scratch, that would have been a real pity. Luckily, that isn't the case.
Huh? So we should never name things that aren't well known? What kind of logic is that? And how is saying "we're building on a forgejo instance" the same as "using the wrong thing"?
It's a forgejo instance. I don't know why they don't just say that. Hopefully they actually implement federation so that their state and national instances can collaborate. That would be such a game changer. Microslop GitHub could then number it's days.
Gotcha. Yeah, those are indeed fucky to repair. If the spring breaks, maybe you replace them, but if the circuit breaks, then they probably really ripe for the dustbin.
Also, membrane always makes me think of the rollable, silicon keyboard. Really wanted to test one, but am not made of money and unwilling to buy something that might just be an easily broken dust collector.
I dont mind framework wanting to copy Apple or set it as some kind of goal, whatever. But do they have to ride their dick so hard and mention them everywhere in their video? It's as if the marketing team wasn't present when filming. "Say Macbook Pro more often than our product. That'll make us not sound like a knockoff".
Check it out. 5€/key with everything included. It's more expensive than I'd like, but replacing a single key is much easier this way, much better for the environment, and way more economical than chucking the whole keyboard in the bin to buy another one for 20+€.
Just about nobody uses that. Your bank, your online store, your doctor, the state, and about everybody except Alice and Bob send you unencrypted mail.
