  • The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment

    Jump

  • I guessed it right, but was afraid for a bit. They changed the title to be more specific now, was a hurry not a clickbait

  • I'm making a FOSS all-in-one file converter app - looking for opinions!

    Jump

  • Only when viewed by Adobe Acrobat

  • Gatekeeping

    Jump

  • So it was trimmed originally, after all

  • New to Linux which OS to use?

    Jump

  • Also, avoid Cachy or other Arch based distros for now. They are great, but a far more hands-on. Something for the future, when you are more comfortable with linux in general.

    Yeah, I recently switched from Mint to EndeavourOS which is Arch, and it breaks way more often. But I must admit, it's more stable than Debian was 15 years ago, so I assume that Linux is getting friendlier in general

  • The Abstract Wikipedia team has decided to rewrite the backend in Rust

    Jump

  • Available on Unix only.

    Only kills the thread if it has enabled cancellation

    I mean, they will probably set it up correctly to be able to use it

  • In this way, we can avoid relying on subprocesses and instead use threads (or, technically, asynchronous tasks) in Rust. Threads/tasks are much easier to manage

    I believe, in their case cancelling a sync operation will not be a problem because they will not forever block on executing user-provided code, but cancelling a synchronous thread is not easy, afaik

  • Locked

    I dunno

    Jump

  • Treat a + b/c + d as a + b/(c + d) I can almost understand, I was guilty of doing that in school with multiplication, but auto-parenthesising the first part is really crazy take, imo

  • I didn’t donate, I invested in civilization

    Jump

  • I'm not sure that not having anyone on salary is part of that deal. Or if you were referring to the part where I said about salary being negative, that's from experience, a couple of directors of a non-profit I know had to donate their salary and add on top of it when times were rough (in that organisation it was pretty often). Large non-profits probably don't have that issue

  • It was best as a silly toy language in the 1990's...

    Jump

  • But for fun both bridge out of cardboard and packaging out of concrete might work, tastes differ ¯⁠⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠/⁠¯

  • I didn’t donate, I invested in civilization

    Jump

  • Now I wonder, because both 999k and 100k are six figure sums, and one of them I find much more reasonable than the other.

    But yeah, running a non-profit often takes money instead of earning you money, and if they have spare money to pay salary to the CEO, maybe they're all right

  • TUXEDO Computers Drops Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux Laptop Plans

    Jump

  • What were specific compatibility patches for the kernel, I guess, but I am also not sure

  • Lucky enough, I am C++ Developer

    Jump

  • You have to knit them yourself

  • The fate of “small” open source

    Jump

  • Friend is a bit different from the original take of not interacting with anyone in the community

  • The fate of “small” open source

    Jump

  • The industrial software library development should be done by professional software engineering companies in a socially responsible way.

    That would maybe be nice in theory, except nobody wants to pay, so this would be both terrible and limiting in practice

  • [Help] display managers with transparent backgrounds, showing the desktop itself?

    Jump

  • You may screenshot the desktop after login and use it as a background, but I don't think it will be exactly the same

  • Well, hello waterfox and librewolf

    Jump

  • Who is the third one?

  • Steam Frame (VR with Linux)

    Jump

  • This sounds dope, does this mean that Frame is what was assumed to be a next Index?

  • Against SQL

    Jump

  • I think, they have a point about the spec being both enormous and underspecified, and that there should be other ways to have and query relational data.

    But yeah, it looks like some of the points are a bit blown out of proportion. I especially liked those monstrosities of queries that are examples of how the same thing computes different results (but it shouldn't be allowed, really)

  • Using Vim is Amazing

    Jump

  • I'm more interested in how do you navigate system menus and such, or does DE manage this? I've tried one Linux distro recently without a mouse attached and it was painful because some elements of the system UI are not accessible in any way
