I know very well how much vetting is done in Debian, and how little is done by most distros.

Indeed, "a lot of good to great quality work fast" smells a bit of "SLOC per day" count. "SLOC per day" is the opposite of productivity: terrible developers can produce tons of bloated and unnecessary code.

No, you are conflating fear of the unknown with hate. Being surprised and even afraid of someone that looks very different from what you are used to is natural in a 3 years old. Or in an aboriginal that has never seen a person from the othe

The technology to run a low bandwidth protocol over onion services has been around for 10+ years. That avoids most of the need for domain, DNS configuration, SSL and SSL certificates. A centralized chat server e.g. IRC runs on a raspberry.

The last time I looked into it - it required: - buy a VM - buy a domain - configure DNS - apt-get install - fiddle with SSL certificates - debug out a memory leak bug - ask upstream and be told to use an unstable alpha release - implement a

The sad irony is that the Matrix protocol was sold as a much simpler alternative to the bloated XMPP... ...and now it's bloated as well.
433.
by eeZah7Ux 6y ago
That's right. And the community replies with a smug "you can set it up yourself". And yet setting a full Matrix stack requires days of work and endless maintenance. I'd rather use Briar or even Signal.

Bridges are an usability disaster. Most have been unreliable for many years. On multiple occasions I ended up talking to maintainers or developers due to bugs. It's been many years and you can barely use the official bridges for IRC an

It's alive and kicking, but certainly not on "hacker" "news" or SV. See all the events like CCC and the fediverse.

It's the whole point of having a distribution. If I wanted an endless stream of new vulnerabilities I can just use upstream software.

What you call "junk" in Debian are security and stability fixes.

Spot on. Unsurprisingly, the author is ignoring the number of lifelong unmarried couples.

Excellent points. People divorce less because they get married at a later age - or never.

Amazing how most of the answers completely confuse "marrige" with "kids living in a home with two parents". As if unmarried people cannot be couples and have kids.
