Sorry for picking this particular project to air my gripes – it's no worse than others. But here's something that's been annoying me a lot with Rust projects (a language and ecosystem that I love): The software lists a very s

If that's true, then it's a problem. How does that make doing more of it any better?

by gspr 5y ago
Absolutely (although see note below)! I don't have any gripes with the tooling from a technical perspective. I do have gripes from a cultural perspective, though. Addendum: Until quite recently, this was quite cumbersome. It also meant

I wholeheartedly agree. I love Rust, it's the most fun I've had with any programming language (barring perhaps Haskell). But I still run cargo in offline mode with crates.io disabled, pointing cargo to /usr/share/

But what prevents me from saying I'm a manufacturer of tamper proof gspr cameras, that just happen to generate deepfakes? Surely there will be enough cheap devices out there that not everyone can be expected to remember the names of ve

With a central authority to issue unique "authentic camera keys"? What dystopian nonsense you're suggesting! Because without such an authority, what's to stop the deepfake source from generating its own unique key? And w

Very cool! I've been desperately looking for something similar for Rust. I'm too old for all these magic frameworks and "deployers" :-) I have some Rust code, possibly linking in some objects compiled from C. How do I co

That's amazing news! Does that mean one can expect this feature in Emacs 29? Edit: I just noticed that LWN has a news entry that explains just this – https://lwn.net/Articles/890405/ (short answer: yes).

US policy isn't "expanding" NATO. NATO expands because free, sovereign nations apply to join. Name a single country that is in NATO against its own will due to "US policy".

Ditto! I was sure I had accidentally changed some Google setting, and the Drive spam irritated me to no end. I'm so glad to be gradually downscaling my Google dependency. What a ridiculous company!

by gspr 5y ago
Exactly. I view DDs more as the citizens of a democracy, rather than the elected representatives of the citizens.
650.
by gspr 5y ago
Then the question becomes: are we the DDs more like MPs or more like citizens? I'd say we're more like the latter. MPs work for the citizens, and therefore their work must be open to scrutiny. Secret votes of citizens, however, is

Yes, under "tally sheet" at https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_vote_secrecy/ Note that that still points to the dummy tally (a tally that lists who voted, but not what they voted for), but the project

I stopped using KDE along time ago (not because it's bad, but because I realized I'm far more productive in Sway). Two KDE programs that I still use daily are Okular and Dolphin. Okular is, in my opinion, the perfect PDF viewer.

Is it really such a disruption? People fly across timezones all the time. Daylight savings and return to normal happen twice per year at entirely predictable times, and are modest changes – is it really so hard?

Then you don't seem qualified to be making the statements that you are making.
