The reverse is also true. Any dev wanting to contribute to Linux in rust which linus himself allowed (despite his silence on this matter) are just going to have to deal with constant headache trying to maintain compatibility with the C interfaces which the devs keep breaking. Either they should’ve never allowed rust in the kernel or they should force devs to at least act in good faith and collaborate (and any that refuse to, well they should be ousted because they can’t behave responsibly). This entire situation is so toxic and I see that as a failure in leadership. That zfs comment is also a little toxic but I don’t think it’s a direct quote. It also doesn’t seem like a fair comparison because from what I can tell zfs isn’t even part of the kernel code base and due to legal reasons cannot be. While it would be great for the kernel not to break it, it is, for all intents and purposes an external project. This rust debacle is different because it’s rust kernel devs and c kernel devs both operating in the same project and trying to find some kind of alignment. To me it seems like there’s enough of an acknowledgment of the value of memory safety that rust support was considered but there’s no authority figure actually supporting it or defending the devs that were invited to actually contribute in it. What a mess.

This specific talk was about defining shared common interfaces so these different groups could work together and the guy who actually talked him into stepping down essentially said “I’m gonna keep writing C and if that breaks your rust stuff that’s not my problem”. This isn’t about convincing the c devs to write rust it’s about convincing them to work together when some of them seem to have made up their mind to sabotage rust support (either through indifference or willful interface regressions). Personally I’m more ashamed what this points to for someone new wanting to come in contribute to Linux.

Man, despite loving Foss this whole debacle is so disillusioning for anyone that ever wanted to pivot to working on it full time. You don’t have to agree with people wanting to try new things, but the bare minimum is not to spew vitriol to keep them quiet or claim you’ll break their stuff and that’s their problem because they aren’t doing things the same way as you but still depend on a shared ecosystem. All we have to do is be bloody polite to each other and build cool sh*t, why is that so hard. All the best to the Linux rust rewrite for these folks, but to me it just feels like both projects are losing here. Linux losing the passion and drive for adopting more modern stuff and all the folks with that drive opting to restart from scratch because too many people refuse to get along.

Honestly, is this true? How do you keep on top of content you actually wanna watch? I’m not sure since when but youtube recommendations have gone so downhill and a lot of the content creators I used to like don’t release as much as they used to so even when I wanna browse YouTube there isn’t anything I wanna see.

Preach. 1080p looks like dogsh*t now and they’ve been rolling out a premium only enhanced bitrate option. Yet another case of ruin what’s good to sell what everyone already had.

Just use vscode. It’s basically the standard text editor for everything nowadays. Eventually you may want to start exploring vim/emacs but no reason to prioritise that now when all you need is something you can write code in that gives you squigglies when you do something wrong.

Is that still being recommended? Last I heard it was eol, no longer getting feature changes or improvements and was basically superceded by vscode.

This is neat, but I’m still waiting for pkpass support. It’s so annoying apple has a standard format for passes and google doesn’t and also doesn’t bother to support them even though their more widely used.

If you want a richer login authelia + caddy is good.

Both. Both is fine.

Doesn’t really seem like the same motivation as what would suddenly lead to a 50% increase in adoption in the EU. I just don’t really see the cause and affect between apple prompting you and suddenly firefox uptick. I’m guessing most people who used to install it never realised just installing it didn’t make it the default (but they should’ve when they open any url).

Reading through the replies, I’m amazed anyone went through the effort to install Firefox but didn’t bother changing the default browser to it. Something in this story smells fishy.

after Apple started letting users choose their default browsers on iOS 17.4 in the EU last week.

Lol, srsly, why does anyone use apple devices willingly. Like for work I sorta get it if there’s no alternative but it really took government action to compell this extremely basic customisation.

That was your understanding. Clearly leah understood something else. And nothing youce shared so far excuses you’re actions. I repeat. Move on. Do something productive with your time.

Didn’t they release the movie before the show back then. I vaguely remember episodes coming out after the movie. Although I’ve been out of the loop on this series for a bit.

Buddy… leah took credit for their own work. Anyone could’ve contributed a better patch than you in that week. You don’t get first dibs on feature contributions and you certainly don’t get a free pass to harass Foss maintainers when they prioritise better functional code than you’re own. Take the L. Move on.

She.

And how are they keeping anything together. Market share isn’t substantially better than before and rather than focusing on the product mozilla was created for they keep pivoting to weird BS like this AI grab. I actually think market shares gone up recently… cause google pushed through manifestv3. That would’ve happened even if mozilla did nothing. I think mozillq is still the better browser but that sure as hell doesn’t seem to be because of whose in charge.

Really interesting read. I love deep dives like this.

Yep. That’s what I plan to do, just a shame it isn’t already there… also that I’m travelling from tomorrow so might have to defer it for a bit XD.

Ooh, didn’t know about podman. That’s neat.

Edit: shame they didn’t include podman-compose as well.
