I think I addressed this in the footnote: > There are some other arguable benefits which mainly boil down to finding Rust to have a superior language design to C or to be more enjoyable to use. These are subjective and generally are not

I am entirely supportive of the user's right to do what they please with their devices (a right which may soon be enshrined in European law under the Digital Markets Act), and I celebrate jailbreaks as a means of liberating users from

Agreed. Please do not use this software, nor link shorteners generally.

As a user you are asking for a measurably worse experience. And given context, I suspect you are a developer, not just a user. A release per week is a sign that an app has poor quality.

Nonsense. There are essentially two conflicting ideals here: what developers want and what distros want. The problem is that distros are generally right and what distros want is also what users want. So it's devs against the world. Dev

Facebook moderates their platform and worked to remove the content. 8kun does no such thing. I loathe Facebook, the pharma industry, and the capitalist machine which perpetuates these evils. But this is a whataboutism.

A lot of heavily used cards, which were run at 100% load 24/7 for who knows how long. What a deal.

Well, you may encounter one or two issues in the years following the shutting-off of your gmail account. But what would you prefer: one or two issues, once in a blue moon, which can probably be solved by a semi-competent customer service te

Yes, but I omitted step four: 4. Gradually move things over to the new address as you notice things which still use the old one, possibly over the course of years. Eventually you will run out of reasons to keep your gmail account and you ca

Commercialized FOSS projects with a pool of contributors have a talent pool to choose from when hiring that non-free projects can only dream of. How else can you hire someone who (1) is already familiar with your code, (2) already knows you

We see these posts several times a week. If you are reading this and you still rely on Google: what the hell?

The comment was phrased poorly and is difficult to parse. Better worded, same meaning: any rational person would protest the fact that Stripe does not approve of this business.

by ddevault 4y ago
I also noticed the suspiciously absent description of OP's business model. That said, though Stripe has never wronged my business, our dependence on them is such a large liability that it obviously has to be treated as such in our busi

No one; I'm referring generally to Copilot and similar tools. But god, who needs an AI to write their fucking shell commands?

by ddevault 4y ago
Copilot is a crutch that prevents learning. You are not falling behind. "Catching up" by using this tool will only land you in a lawsuit for copyright infringement.

I also can't build it (on Alpine), but I get a different error. I've tried to build Ladybird 3 or 4 times over the course of as many months and had no success.

Important note mentioned here is that sqlite doesn't accept external contributions and has a very small team. The Fossil folks and the sqlite folks are also essentially the same team. Fossil is a boutique VCS which essentially only exi

This is a cartoonishly bad take on cyclists. They aren't doing calisthenics in a spandex uniform in a fucking supermarket. They're commuting, same as you, only they take up much less space and emit no pollution. If more people wer

I wish you the best of luck. I hope that everyone here will view this as an important lesson about relying on Google.

You can do all of that stuff in a spawn model as well.

Not really. Modern Unixes have evolved towards everything is a file descriptor, but the original design very much called for everything to be a file. Bell Labs started Plan 9 in part as a response to this very issue.
