Not that I approve the Debian decision here, but calling it "classic" seems a bit of a stretch?

Do you have many more examples to call that a "classic" Debian security behaviour?

I use "wlr-randr"

I believe it's an effort to promote Linux, to get more market share.

Linux users aren't interested to see potential adopters go for BSD instead of joining their ranks.

On every forum, every discussion, there is at least one guy saying he runs that game on Linux, or that other OS is somehow inferior to Linux, or this problem would never happen on Linux...

It's all about marketing, if you will...

But you are aware there are distros without systemd, right?

Can you explain why "Docker compose" is a trap?

The desire to be different is strong with some people.

Why not just disable them?

Lol, at that point I would just run Windows...

What is the threshold where you are basically running Windows, and you have Linux installed just for some internet vanity?

Play games? Run Windows games with Wine/Proton Coding? VSCode App? This thing...

But at least I don't own Windows, sheej!

Biting the hand that fed you. I hope he's going to donate some of the money is getting begging to codeberg in return of their services.

That's a weird keyboard, some computer specs and a weird linux distro... that's going to cost you $2k.

$100 to have the rights to reserve one? That's really nice of them.

Well... Good luck guys!

Most people don't want to troubleshoot computer issues. Most people don't care about what "OS" is installed.

Linux on the desktop is a nerd wet dream, and you should be aware of that.

.Net has Blazor for WebUI.

I don't ask you to judge if you like it, I'm just saying that you can totally make a professional WebUI within the dotnet stdlib.

I was going to tell my team that we didn't hear about a NPM supply chain attack for about 2 weeks and that we should celebrate.

I guess it's not going to happen...

The thief who stole the car is always a little bit more chatty about the stolen car.

Who are you trying to convince here?

Do you remember when the Internet was redundant and resilient?

It seems 20% of the Internet is down every two weeks now.

That's what I thought.

That's exactly how a "normal" user would ask such things.

I am not a Microsoft fan, or copilot, or even an A.I. fan, but the article seems to try too hard to find a problem here.

That's not like we don't have real examples around...

M'yea, good luck finding such occurrence with NuGet or Maven for example. I would rephrase your "anywhere else".

NPM is a terrible ecosystem, and trying to defend its current state is a lost cause. The energy should be focused on how to fix that ecosystem instead of playing dumb telling people "it's all ok, look at other, also poorly designed, systems".

Don't forget that Rust's Cargo got heavily inspired by NPM, which is not something to brag about.[0]

> "Rust has absolutely stunning dependency management," one engineer enthused, noting that Rust's strategy took inspiration from npm's.

The FOMO created by online games. You need the latest DLC to get the latest armour you know...

The plumber doesn't start to install additional pipes that require an annual fee, or spying on me "because you know, nothing to hide", or any other nonsense we are seeing in software.

Holy shit dude, all those years I was dead sure it was open source and all.

Like a "proof that open source is working", a show case of a good quality, open source project.

Oh well, time to strike that one off the list.

> source code is not open

What about this: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio

Your system is going to be owned, but at least, it's going to be "memory safely" owned!

P. S.

I you don't account all the unsafe sections scattered everywhere in all those dependencies.

So I stand corrected. I did indeed use ripgrep as a drop-in replacement.

That's on me!

For my part, the day I was confused why "grep" couldn't find some files that were obviously there, only to realize that "ripgrep" is ignoring files in the gitignore, that was the day I removed "ripgrep" of my system.

I never asked for such behaviour, and I have no time for pretty "modern" opinions in a base software.

Often, when I read "modern", I read "immature".

I am not ready to replace my stable base utilities for some immature ones having behaviour changes.

The scripts I wrote 5 years ago must work as is.

Even freaking Phoronix, which is quite "pro linux"

Let's stop the gaslighting here, it doesn't work with me.

Thank you, have a good day.

I am a cereal eating engineer, while I review the cereal box specification.

I do that every morning, before applying my bus-taking engineering to my job.

Because I do prompt engineering for a living.

So many words lost their meaning today... I am glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this.

Gaming on Linux is there, if you don't mind the 10-40 fps drop in most modern and demanding games...

For me that's a no go.

I can live with bash in a WSL2 though... That's about what I need of Linux anyway. I can enjoy my gaming and the remaining of the userland too.

Best of both worlds.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but what you had for free, you still have it for free, since it's a MIT license, what you cloned initially is still "yours".

Is the problem thar one needs to fork / maintain the code from now on? Is the problem that one wants free support on top of the free library?

Is the greedy developer in the title the one who wants the 3rd party for free without contributing, or the developer who wrote the said 3rd party and asking compensation?

I am confused.
