  • Tech bros kill FOSS as a joke (and also receive money from corporations for it, also as a joke)

    Jump

  • I think of it as fighting fire with fire and using their tools against them. Just do it with every Microslop product or of any AI company. Turn their weapons against them.

  • Indie devs are the true heroes of OSS

  • Take your pick. Where do you work? If they are writing closed source stuff, there's a very big chance they use opensource without paying or contributing back.

  • The reverse can be done. Let an AI write specs about a closed source product, then let another AI implement an opensource solution that follows the spec. TADA!

  • The ‘European’ Jolla Phone Is an Anti-Big-Tech Smartphone

  • Same thoughts. I want EU alternatives, but they must be opensource. Going from closed source to closed source is not an option, no matter where it comes from.

  • What we heard about Rust's challenges, and how we can address them | Rust Blog

    Jump

  • Oh really? 🤔 Every project on Github that I've tried to contribute to from outside has been resistant to it. But maybe I could give cargo.io a try. Zulip you say? Interesting choice... requires creating yet another account since it doesn't seem to be federated...

  • I just find the arbitrary line drawn at 18 to be ridiculous. So, the second you turn 18 you magically become an adult. OK.

    And now it's time to judge societies that decide 16 means adult, or 20 means adult, or 25 means adult.

    Was it the US that just decided for us that "18 means your adult"? Why should they get to decide that? Based on what criteria?

  • I find it ridiculous that they started with github in the first place, but who am I to judge. It is ironic that in order to contribute a non-github solution, you still need to create a github account to make a PR.

  • Apple to Introduce Search Ads in Maps as Services Revenue Grows

    Jump

  • IIRC, Apple already made 30% of its revenue with ads in 2019 or so.

  • Anything under 25 should be considered a child.

  • Domains are, sure but the space is much much larger. With namespaces the space is for example namespace x crate instead of just crate. With domains it's impossibly large. And if you introduce some kind verification with domains e.g putting something in the DNS TEXT entry, or calling a well-known path, or or or, you basically can't squat anything well-known anymore.

    As for github, you must have a github account to create a crate on crates.io. to my knowledge there is no alternative crates registry. Point me to one if you do, because I'd be grateful and willing to publish my crates there.

  • My biggest issues with rust are

    • borrow checker barely ever uses the term "borrowed" and I have to relesen it every time I pick up rust
    • async is absurdly complicated, there are so many gotchas. Streams are actual hell
    • crates are github only and have no namespacing. Java has the best solution IMO with their reverse domains for example com.github.myuser.myproject.somepackage

    It's good to know I'm not alone. But I'll never choose C/C++ over Rust. If I need speed and typing, it's Rust, no questions asked. For everything else, there's Python. I just wish Rust has better GUI frameworks...

  • is sunsetting the feature I use every day! Code-with-me will be removed, the way to do pair programming for remote teams.

  • Wat? The popup has code right in the window. If I wanted VSCode, I'd use VSCode and their shitty design.

  • Session and SimpleX – encrypted messenger comparison

    Jump

  • Paradoxically, if you want to start a conversation with someone you can't meet in person, you have to use another communication tool to forward/receive a QR invitation to open a new chat. And this is the same flaw that Session has.

    This is the problem all messengers have that do not use some external ID like email or phone numbers. You first have to communicate over another channel to get started on that new app, unless of course you are physically present. Most people will do that over an insecure channel thus linking them to the account.

    So much for "better privacy".
