Hi George. Have you seen RoboCop? A free market survival-of-the-fittest gets us closer to a dystopian 1984-like society. Overregulation will also do that. Regulation isn't exactly at odds with freedom. One could certainly regulate free

The first exploit looks somewhat like an elaborate json version of the bf language.

Next phone I'm buying won't be able to run android if I can help it. Verify that. (edit: and it definately won't be an iphone, although that would fit the description above, those only run non-free software by design)

Better tooling for kpatch would be nice tho IIRC canonical makes patches for official ubuntu kernels but acts like a Chinese restaurant (closed kitchen, orders come in through a small hatch behind the counter)

Does anyone else get connection errors?

Nowadays it would be called VisualRust365 with CoPilot. And suck.

Article reads just like AI slop. The point is probably valid but the writing style gets annoying.

I don't do that anymore, but I can still access repositories and issues. Looks normal to me

Hey, it's quite an improvement over GUIDs!

Better yet, don't allow such spyware crap on your computer.

I get exactly none of that. Is your adblocker still working?

If we're playing games, SpaceChem was one of the coolest games I've ever played.

Right. They sued the first guy who did this, but now there's too many. Sucks to be an innovator.

The noise in a server room is quite pleasant for me. It's loud, but in a soothing way I can't really describe.

I, for one, welcome our new American fellows.

IIRC, since GCC got covered by GPL3. It used to be slower and I've spent way too much time working around C++ bugs in GCC 2.95 (The fact that I remember the problematic version is telling :)

Not "by default", but still Gentoo. My USE= is several lines worth of -this -that -all-the-things. I got rid of wayland, pipewire, pulseaudio, avahi and a shitload of other stuff I don't need. PulseAudio applications can stil

No, it'd make me sad. If they're lurking in there and we can do without, I'm happy to always have my own .config If this gets removed, they'll creep in somewhere we can't find them for a while.

I think it would be reasonable to deprecate af_alg in favor of a character device. It's more accessible that way. The downside is that the maintainers hate adding new ioctls. I think that's fair. But I don't think a "reg

My tin foil hat says it has something to do with chat control, i.e. being able to intercept messages or to siphon messages from Alice or Bob directly.

Sorry to ask but... Do you have any idea how git works???

There's no such thing as a single universal morality. TFA was quite political, therefore it's only natural for disagreements to happen. That's kinda the whole point of political debate.

The only thing worse than spaghetti code is spaghetti services. Ask yourself which one is easier to diagnose and debug.

Probably. I hate the AI boom too and see no need to get all political, or even outrught blame the politicians. What'd you expect, politicians with a master degree in every field there is? Not gonna happen. If we're putting the bla

Why does everything have to be "actively developed"? Sometimes a program is just done . Better not touch it. I actually do downgrade packages when "actively developing" causes regressions. Not curl or anything sensitive

If you mean the presentation layer, hard disagree. Not thinking about presentation creates problems. For example, Go treating ASCII headers as UTF-8 caused trouble. Only slightly not worrying about an HTTP/2 vs HTTP/1.1 mismatch c
