  • Open Source Has Too Many Parasocial Relationships

    Jump

  • In fact, I would encourage more unsupported maintainers to do just that. Stop rushing to fix bugs for people without a support contract. Patch security flaws at a more leisurely pace unless someone is willing to pay for greater urgency. Take your time and enjoy your hobby more, since that is what unpaid software maintenance is. Collaborate with other people only so much as it brings you joy.

    💯 times this. Pay or it will be fixed when the maintainer has time. They have no obligations to fix or implement shit. Pay up or square up.

  • Rust For Linux Kernel Co-Maintainer Formally Steps Down

    Jump

  • In this thread: people who believe the myth of the safe C programmer. The one who has memorized the spec and is able to hold endless context in their brain while writing code. They themselves are C compilers.

  • Junoir vs Senior

    Jump

  • Sure, if you compare it to a thinkpad for 1k. M1 Macbook pros cost how much when they were released? 2.5k? 3k? Of you're going to get reduced compilation times. But what exactly is it "paying of"? How is the calculation from time to money done?

    "I can store so much stuff in my RAM, it'll pay back in 6 months". Such a random metric.

  • I learned to hate the Mac forced upon me for the time I used it, thank you very much. Fuck everything about those boots from the fruit store. Especially in a multi-architecture team, fuck macs.

  • That explains it, yeah. Companies of that size often aren't open for change unless it is top down.

    Good luck with the fur trapping. Not sure if there'll be less bugs though ;)

  • Junoir vs Senior

    Jump

  • I was told the same at multiple jobs and just asked kindly that they spend the money on a linux compatible laptop. I had arguments to back my statement up too. It worked out.

    YMMV

    Good luck (if you want to go down this path and haven't become a farmer yet).

  • Is there any OS, local, tournament bracket generator?

  • Rght? "I want something shiny to write my code on because it makes me look cool and costs a lot " is not ether sign of seniority.

  • [HowTo] Selective VPN confinement in NixOS

    Jump

  • What happens when the VPN stops? Are all requests then just sent through the clear web?

  • moss is a Unix-like, Linux-compatible kernel written in Rust and Aarch64 assembly

  • Not the first relationship to be destroyed by nixos 😢

  • Servo Announces Sponsorship Tiers To Get More Organizations Backing This Browser Engine

    Jump

  • I'll say it again: make it actually embeddable instead of just advertising it as embeddable. Once people can actually embed it and use it, maybe then will it get more sponsors. They don't even have a crate one can easily find, no tutorial, but they do have an undocumented example of winit.

  • What are the silliest reasons people have given you for not wanting to try Linux?

    Jump

  • Even if that game is toxic waste?

  • I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon

    Jump

  • Sounds like a good bloke. He tried his best and it's very appreciated. Dealing with the Twitter escapees and their demands to have a second twitter only opensource can be extremely taxing, I imagine.

    Good luck to Eugen.

  • Linux has a DHH problem - Niccolò Ve [46:54]

    Jump

  • I knew some of the things DHH said, but didn't have a fuller picture. Some of us aren't always up to speed om the latest ultra-conservative racist out there.

    This was in the background at 1.5x speed while writing Rust and the script can be read if watching is too taxing.

  • GStreamer Conference 2025 video recordings now available

    Jump

  • Why not on peertube ? 😢 Opensource conferences posting videos to either closed source platforms (in this case Ubicast, which I cannot find any sourcecode of) is just sad. They would instantly have more reach on peertube than on ubicast and contribute to the fediverse too. Why is it so difficult for opensource conferences to use opensource themselves?

    Tesla Is Now Renting Cars From Its Showrooms As Sales Keep Crashing

    Jump

  • Tesla had the momentum, the image, and the marketing. The US was maybe the right place to make it popular, but the US is so far behind China on production... It was not a race but a marathon and when competing against the subsidies China is giving to its industry, I don't think there's any way to win anymore. The West just slept at the wheel and countries like Germany are going to suffer hard.

    Of course Musk is destroying the image of Tesla with his antics, but investors still believe in him. I don't know how, but let's see if they're right. It seems crazy to me to think winning against BYD and others is possible, but we shall see.

  • Valve Already Upstreams Support For The New Steam Controller To SDL3
