We all know it's going to be friday. That's already the most quiet day where I live.

Not conservative but I used to love the meme before it was co-opted by musk, so I will occasionally use it as a "haha now you feel OLD" without thinking of its modern connotations.

I'm not sure how willing I'd be to trust a pthread library fork from a single no-name github person. The mingw-w64 project provides libwinpthread, which you can download as source from their sourceforge, or as a binary+headers fro

This is why I avoid aluminum laptops. Too many plugs aren't properly grounded and the tingling annoys me to no end.

GMail was still fresh at the time, and it rolled out in a similar manner, being invite-only at first. I think they didn't think about it very much, and just did the same thing.

How does this compare to https://www.dns0.eu/ which I've been using for years?

That's true. I find myself still saying GNU/Linux where it's relevant (e.g. when referring to the userland, or a compatible userland) but it's not as contentious as it used to be, which is a nice breath.

We've accepted it at this point, but I wonder if the religious element of GNU tools and free software in general was as contentious way back when.

There's been cases[1], of particular note, the unescape overflow one[2]. This one scathed the reputation of sudo enough to get people pushing for alternatives such as doas. The track record of vulnerabilities in general leaves a bit to

What are you talking about? Technology is as widespread as ever and chances to use AI for more effective surveillance and manipulation are through the roof.

The significant difference between Jazelle and your project is how Jazelle sits on top of a CPU that can already run a java interpreter without the instruction set extensions, said instruction set didn't implement all of java (it still

What an incredibly toxic way to view dissatisfaction with modern day hustle culture. There's an incredible amount of activities that contribute to society but aren't valued with money - only with wellbeing.

I wish I could do unpaid volunteer work and still afford live. By which I mean, I really hate that certain kinds of work are not deemed worthy enough of financial compensation, yet are still beneficial to people and society at large.

This has been my take on things forever. Power user tools tend to be made as a TUI, which is great in that it lets you work from the framebuffer and over SSH, but it really makes you wonder why we can't have the same conveniences with

In my experience distributions only patch GCC or modify the package building environment variables to add compiler flags. You can be certain that the compiler flags used in build systems like cmake and meson will be vanilla. Make adds no ad

by mid-kid 2y ago
While all of these are very useful, you'll find that a lot of these are already enabled by default in many distributions of the gcc compiler. Sometimes they're embedded in the compiler itself through a patch or configure flag, and

I generally just have a makefile that for each page does `cat header.html page.html footer.html > out/page.html`. I realize this can be considered a "static site generator" but I think simple concatenation covers most of t

Yeah, glibc is extremely stable and you can be sure that an app compiled against it now will work well into the future. People just completely ignore that fact based on hearsay, and that the removal of a unused symbol hashing table from the

They're just trying to prioritize linux applications, without preventing developers who want to support linux through wine from doing so. The key difference is that applications ran under wine will always have some subtle quirks and mi

This whole article leaves me thinking that they just reinvented having a separate window for each page, and are just calling them "taskbar tabs" instead of "windows". After inventing tabs, we've now come full circle

I frequently learn of useful apps through its updated/new section that you see when opening the app. Back in the day when it didn't have this I used to scroll through all the categories - the catalogue was small enough to do this.
