LtWorf··on Japan's book scene is moving from bookstores to libraries
There's often smelly people napping in Sweden. I presume their housing situation isn't the best. Or they are not mentally capable of cleaning themselves.
LtWorf··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
Are we also going to invade USA to make them stop attacking iran, venezuela and so on?
LtWorf··on Ubuntu 26.10 completes transition to Rust-based coreutils
And no printing of progress either.
LtWorf··on Doing Everyone Else's Job
I worked at a company where you could do it, but some people take fixes as insults to their mother's honour, so all in all probably on a personal level it is best to avoid doing it.

Have you seen how much the USA is paying for it? How do you think the venezuelan economy will improve greatly while giving away resources?
LtWorf··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
So we should attack russia, cause WW3 because you are paranoid that they might do that first?
LtWorf··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
Like when we claimed that the russians had sabotaged their own pipeline rather than just stop pumping gas, after Biden declared he'd blow that thing up in case of conflict, and we are still supposed to believe it was the russians?
LtWorf··on Let's make quality the norm again
Amazon prime added the ads back no?

And the local production is an assembly of something really made in china.

> Everybody hates ads, but no-one is willing to pay a penny for a service they use daily.

Because paying a penny won't prevent ads or tracking.

Got to love this website :D Downvoted for completely true information with no ideological spin :D :D :D

I sandbox with firejail. There is no reason to use snaps. Also in firejail I never experienced a crash.

> never crashed a single time

I'm very happy for you. How does that help the people who do encounter issues?

That would work, but they also don't want everybody to switch to the better alternative and nullify their effort.

Nowadays the non-free-firmware repo is active by default, so the normal official debian image actually works.

It used to be the case that the normal download from the homepage was often useless because it didn't support most networking hardware, but this is no longer the case now.

This isn't the first issue with uutils.

Canonical is just rushing the switch because they want to get rid of software with GPLv3 license, not because there is any technical merit for doing so.

LtWorf··on OpenAI bots knew about the RubyGems caching vulnerability
I think it was mostly a matter of "how much" and marketing rather than "my principles won't allow for this!"

Car manufacturers really really hate GPLv3 and the requirement that users need to be able to change the code.

They claim it is for compliance but it's well known that user modifications to cars are no longer the responsibility of the car company. I think it's more on principle than any real legal concern.

People don't use Xorg daily because they are afraid of wayland. People use Xorg daily because they have tried wayland and there was something that stopped working.

Xorg allows running sub-instances.

Wayland is now older than Xorg was when "it was really old, we need something new".

My impression is that go developers moved to rust.

The power of marketing…

Ubuntu does offer some certifications but only for paying customers, so everyone else should really steer clear.

It's complicated to do it yourself when upstream won't accept your code.

I think ubuntu wants to kill desktop linux. No other explaination of why they push firefox inside snap, which then proceeds to constantly crash, when firefox used normally works completely fine.

I haven't tried chromium but I presume it's the same issue.

At work I'm forced to use ubuntu and I placed snapd on hold and added mozilla's own apt repository to my configuration to get firefox.

At least in the past few months the dbus crashes (been using systemd on debian for several years just fine, this never happened) that render the system unusable and un-rebootable have stopped… I guess when my company will decide to upgrade to 26.04 there will be more instability and problems.

My experience is that filing bug reports to ubuntu is a complete waste of time. Not sure if it's different for paying users.
LtWorf··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Why do you put quote marks around something I didn't write?
LtWorf··on Mullenweg has returned as CEO after attempted board ouster
Because LLMs output is always so unique and original. That's why it looks all the same right?
LtWorf··on Stop making swap partitions—use swap files instead
Buying more instances to serve it, I presume.
LtWorf··on Stop making swap partitions—use swap files instead
How does a swap file vs swap partition change things in OOM situations?

> The reason nobody cares is because Maduro was a criminal and was responsible for economic devastation in Venezuela resulting in 1/3rd of the country fleeing!

And now it's even worse but USA gets free oil so it's all fine!

I think USA has not been at war like less than 5 years in total since its creation.

I don't have the book here with me so I cannot check the exact amount of years but it's ridiculously small.

LtWorf··on Rust is tier-1 language at Microsoft
Thanks, I wasn't aware.

I'm surprised that COM is still a thing!
