Is it on GoG?

Nothing I ever write will be popular and I won’t ever force myself to work on my own projects I dont enjoy. Everything I write is without warranty nor guarantee.

I wish we replaced email with matrix.

Are you on Android? Is there a way to add custom characters to your keyboard?

I like the thorn very much. Seems like a nice way to piss off AI a little. Do you copy paste it every time?

It’s so easy to trick these nerds into fits of rage. Just saw “rewrite in rust” and a group of entitled neckbeards will lose every faculty. It’s actually hilarious to watch. No wonder 4chan had fun trolling. But with these people, it’s just too easy!

About 99% of the world doesn’t use protonmail. What good does it do if your email is stored unecryptes in the recipient’s imbox over on gmail, apple mail, copilot 360, yahoo, yandex, or whatever else?

Just about nobody uses that. Your bank, your online store, your doctor, the state, and about everybody except Alice and Bob send you unencrypted mail.

Encrypting your email once received is like storing your postcards in a safe.

Can someone explain what the point is when the email contents are all read by the sender? Everything is already in a database somewhere.

Why so they have to work 100% like the original tools? Why can’t it overlap and add more? Why can’t it remove features that are confusing or a security liability?

The copium is strong in this one.

Wy rename them? This exactly gives people the opportunity to contribute stuff to standard tooling without having to go through a mailing list and with a much better developer experience.

Yes, it’s on Microslop Github, but I have hope they’ll see the light and move away from that AI riddled big tech platform. At the latest when forgejo or another forge implements federation.

Regardless of how secure and safe GNU coreutils are, requiring people to learn a memory unsafe language in order to contribute isn’t good. It’s the same as having COBOL control most of the financial system and other legacy systems. It’s better to rewrite those things in modern languages early on than 50, 70 or 100 years later.

Bugs will occur, that’s hardly an argument against progress nor is it an argument for standing still. It’s good that bugs existed. It was a learning opportunity for the rust core utils. We learn by making mistakes. The people involved in the bug fixing and those who read the bug reports undoubtedly learned a thing or two that they can use to improve the rust ecosystem and bring to other projects.

CVEs exist and will continue to exist as long as software exists. Logic CVEs will probably exist forever, but practically eliminating an entire class (memory safety CVEs) allows concentrating on logic. I’d argue that’s a much better way forward.

C is a shit language, Rust is better. Rewriting C crap in Rust is a public service. The faster we can get eOS of C and C++ the better.

Now you have ;)

In all my time with Linux, I have never once recompiled. I’d go as far to say as it is never necessary for a normo to do it.

Sick! We need more Linux stickers.

Let’s not try and widen the scope. Some boomer politician already tried to shove “child protection” crap into the stop killing games proposal. If we all start demanding more stuff be added, it’ll die before it even reaches a vote.

Keep it laser focused on keeping games alive past EOL. Nothing more. That alone would be a big win and allow for more later.

Wdym?

We forget that it was a minority of them. The majority is like every other generation: kept disinterested and selfish.
