You don't really. I think that's the big worry. The way to fix it is to change the constitution (for example [1], although bigger changes are probably needed, IMHO anyway, but this is a good start) but the constitution is so hard

I'm feeling that maybe the entire concept of "publishing packages" is something that's not really needed? Instead, the VCS can be used as a "source of truth", with no extra publishing step required. This is how

You're overestimating the amount of auditing these distros do for the average package; in reality there is very little. The reason these compromised packages typically don't make it in to e.g. Debian is because this all tends to b

He used encrypted services to commit a bunch of crimes. He was then released on the condition that he would no longer use the encrypted services that he used to commit the crimes with. He then lied and used those encrypted services anyway.

Yeah, I don't really get that either, especially since Musk is still so involved in these companies. But Musk is hardly a unique case, and his racism is just part of the "Make Racism Great Again" movement that has, especially

Pretty much every atrocity in history that I know of has included a framing of "we must defend ourselves against $evil_group, we have no choice, it's them or us". A framing of victimhood – whether real or not – and need of de

No, there is no exception for the "main" package. It's just build tag trickery. You can do this with any package names (although it doesn't make much sense to do so).

by arp242 1y ago
What people usually do is add a build tag to the file(s) with package main, so they're not compiled on a regular compile/test run. But you can't combine them as such (and you can do this with any package name – there's n

Yes, this sounds nice in principle. Also insanely expensive, difficult to build, and basically just completely unfeasible in reality.

The general view of the Unicode people is that this is a formatting issue, rather than a character encoding issue. While I agree it can be annoying at times, I somewhat tend to agree as there is tons of useful formatting that one could want

> 32-bit Linux might see more use Probably less, not more. Many distros either stopped supporting 32bit systems, or are planning to. As the announcement says, that's why they're stopping support now.

Do RISC architectures still exist? ARM has gained tons of stuff and isn't really "RISC" any more either. Maybe RISC-V? It's right there in the name, but I haven't really looked at it. However, there are no RISC-V ch
