  • Why hasn't gradle been adopted for C/C++ projects?

    Jump

  • Are vcpkg and conan widespread in your experience? Mine has still been majorly "works on my machine with unnamed debian version and unrestricted library version", which still breaks like 90% of the time.

  • Was it taken down? I don't see it. Why was it being promoted in the first place and how was it not immediately banned? I thought reddit banned anything lemmy related.

  • cURL 8.12 Released With Its Rust Hyper Backend Removed

    Jump

  • My guess, there's a rust project out there reimplementing curl in rust and that's where development efforts are concentrated. Probably replacing parts of curl with Rust is more work than its worth.

  • "Behold, a Linux maintainer openly admitting to attempting to sabotage the entire Rust for Linux project". Thoughts on this post from Marcan?

    Jump

  • Good grief. People like this Chris dude hold progress back. I'll keep banging the drum (to be heard by not a single kernel dev, but anyway): the linux kernel need 90% of the Linux Foundation's funding, not a mere 2%. There should be so many people wanting to be a maintainer that people who openly declare that they want to get in the way like this are easier to remove.

  • You can help finance them on OpenCollective, but it doesn't say how much they need. There's only a projection of how much people might donate annually based on current donations (~1k). Took them a long time to setup Open Collective...

  • Linus Torvalds Announces First Linux Kernel 6.14 Release Candidate

    Jump

  • My eyes are on Rust in the kernel. Once it's there and off mailinglists, I can see myself contributing. Rust is a sign of hope that things can change.

  • I Stopped Using Matrix - Tatsumoto

    Jump

  • Oh, by community he means room! OK. I'm pretty sure the matrix community as a whole is more than 5000 people 😅

  • "Unencrypted chatrooms can be modified by an admin". No shit? And you're sure that hasn't happened on Telegram? Or IRC? Or any other unencrypted messenger?

    For the past few months, the Matrix community has been largely inactive (despite having over 5,000 members),

    Where is he getting these stats from?

    In an encrypted room even with fully verified members, a compromised or hostile home server can still take over the room by impersonating an admin. That admin (or even a newly minted user) can then send events or listen on the conversations.

    How? They don't have the keys to do so, do they? I can't imagine that the private, unencrypted keys are stored on the server. That would be nuts.

    It's shitty that he had such a bad experience, but again, any unencrypted messenger will be susceptible to account takeover by an admin. Signal has groups. Whether their moderating tools are good or not, I can't tell as I'm not an admin of such a group, but moving back to Telegram is no better than going to Discord.

  • [Solved] systemd: BindReadOnlyPaths alternative allowing user to read it

    Jump

  • As in the solution should use systemd i.e no "just sudo mount --bind -o ro /src /dst bro". Then when I sudo -u $serviceUser cat $mountPath, it should output the contents of the file instead of just nothing.

  • But I do wish Linux could find a way to deliver a product that feels as refined as a MacBook. I would be willing to donate to an effort to do so.

    There are quite a few efforts to make linux a default and provide a good UX. One way to support them is buying stuff with linux pre-loaded. Then it's using stuff like KDE, Gnome, other desktop enviroments and donating to them. I exclusively buy from linux hardware vendors (as in desktops and laptops) and have been donating non-stop to a few opensource projects for about 5 years now (maybe even longer).

    The Linux Foundation though... I think only an external force could convince them to spend more than 2% of their budget on linux itself...

  • Not all moderation = censorship 🙄 You play by the rules or you face the consequences. Nowhere on the planet are the consequence-free zones - at least not forever.

    If you really want fediverse instance where absolutely everything is permitted, make it. I bet you after the first CP post you'll rethink your stand on "all moderation = censorship".

  • Contempt Culture

    Jump

  • Thank you for typing all that out. PHP seems to have come a long way (or at least thanks to Laravel). Probably the reason I still encounter projects without Laravel are because there are many old and established PHP projects out there from before whenever it became popular. Probably switching to a new framework is too much work for them (quite understandable), but they have unfortunately majorly tainted my PHP experience.

    I'm glad you're enjoying PHP and have given me another perspective on the subject.

  • Who needs newfangled stuff like forums? 🤢

    Jump

  • That's most definitely the wrong tool (discord is not for async) and the other end of the spectrum. Or did you maybe misunderstand him saying "discourse"? That would make much more sense as a mailing list replacement.

    Or they were straight up meme'ing.
