Funny how Europe's "concern" for digital health only kicks in when a non US platform starts winning

Considering it was considered "outdated" the day they announced it, it'll be interesting to see how they price a machine that's now even further delayed

This is the smart choice

You keep compatibility with C, can tap into its ecosystem, but you are no longer stuck with outdated tooling

D gives you faster iteration, clearer diagnostics, and a generally smoother experience, even if it doesn't go as far as Rust in terms of safety

I wish more languages would follow this strategy, ImportC is great, let's you port things one step at a time, if required/needed

Let's be honest: who wants to write or generate C bindings? And who wants to risk porting robust/tested/maintained C code incorrectly?

If you are still using GitHub, you have failed

De-risk yourself from Microsoft

Just rename Linux to SystemD OS at this point..

I have never liked the word "manager" because it's rarely useful in practice, the best managers are actually doers who can cut through the performative transparency and "DDoS attack" of constant updates to see when communication is being used to manipulate or mask failure rather than report progress, because the last thing you want is for your employees to become politicians

Stadia was lightyears ahead, but pro-Microsoft media assassinated it with FUD

While "journalists" were busy bootlicking a laggy 720p Android only xCloud beta, Stadia was already delivering flawless 4K@60FPS in a web browser

They killed the only platform that actually worked just to protect Microsoft

This will be a textbook case study in how a legacy monopoly kills innovation to protect its own mediocrity

Microsoft won't survive the century, they are a dinosaur on borrowed time that has already lost the war in mobile, AI, and robotics

They don't create,, they just buy marrket share to suffocate the competition and ruin every product they touch

Even their cloud dominance is about to end, as they are already losing their grip on the European market to antitrust and sovereign alternatives

If you don't use rust, i hate you, you should use rust, and i'll force rust on you

If you don't use systemd, i hate you, you should use systemd, and i'll force systemd on you

If you don't use wayland, i hate you, you should use wayland, and i'll force wayland on you

If you don't use gnome, i hate you, you should use gnome, and i'll force gnome on you

See the pattern?

You don't get to gatekeep what counts as "sensitive", all of my privacy is non-negotiable

By aggregating breach data by email, this tool inadvertently exposes users's full web history, including sensitive sites like crypto/adult/dating platforms, to anyone who knows their address

Fun

In the technofeudal new world order, your smartphone is not just a device, it is your gov issued digital ID/wallet

The Apple/Google OS duopoly exists by design, they view bootloader unlocking and sideloading as threats because they break that control

They want to be able to define and/or revoke your existence in the system

No escape, because no alternative

Kagi's "waiting for dawn" is just waiting for Google to legitimize their reseller business

Meanwhile, users pay a premium to pretend they're not using Google

Fascinating delusion

The US CLOUD Act mandates American companies to provide data to US authorities, even when stored abroad

Whoever gives US Big Tech access to their digital infrastructure is a foreign spy and should be jailed

> Rust certainly calms security fears

No, memory safety is not security, Rust's memory guarantees eliminate some issues, but they also create a dangerous overconfidence, devs treat the compiler as a security audit and skip the hard work of threat modeling

A vigilant C programmer who manually validates everything and use available tools at its disposal is less risky than a complacent Rust programmer who blindly trust the language

They want you to do the pinch in/out gesture /s

I moved away from XFCE over the CSD drama, despite winning that battle, the resistance showed me the project lacks the backbone to resist GNOME long term

So we are censoring comments we don't like? Iran? No, right here in the West

Comment in question:

It's ironic to watch the contradictions unfold

On one hand, nobody actually knows what's happening in Iran, yet everyone has a rock solid opinion, complete with intricate details, as if they'd just left a classified briefing

On the other hand, those same confident voices all want the same thing: a leader who'll privatize Iran's oil for Western companies, align with US policy, open markets to Western finance, and prioritize defense contracts over local development

Funny how that works

Some random farmer from Ohio is obsessed with Iran for some reason

TikTok playbook: if a foreign power controls an influential platform, it's a national security threat, if the US controls it, it's just social media

The sandboxification of WASM is what happened

Instead of building a true portable binary format with system access, we got a JavaScript VM from TEMU:

- Reference Types

- Exception Handling

- GC

Makes GC'd languages compile better, not system programming

Meanwhile, the actually needed capabilities remain blocked forever:

- Memory: Still can't mmap, still can't allocate outside linear memory

- Networking: Still needs JS interop bullshit

- Device: Still need JS interop bullshit and still sandboxed behind browser security model

The Result: WASM isn't a serious systems target, it's a compilation artifact for managed languages that could've just targeted JS directly

CIA and Amnesty's claims aside, focus on how social media fuels civil unrest, the real concern is foreign interference, Iran has been a target for a very long time

The US wants a regime change, that's a fact, Trump has been very vocal on the matter, and the NSA has the tools to do what ever it pleases on the internet (e.g., PRISM)

> Government enacted shut down due to protests

Not just protests, it's to prevent foreign interference (like CIA) from fueling civil unrest and spreading AI deepfakes, as seen in Myanmar and Brazil

What could become an economic boom will become a century of humiliation for Europe

Well done Europeans, catering to Trump

YC works because B2B can survive early with a few paying customers

Gaming is pure B2C: hit driven, capital intensive, and unforgiving

You'll never be able to buy their chips, the US will impose trade restrictions once it forces South Korea to ramp up production in US fabs

The entire price crisis stems from anticipation of that prospect

We have solved the better C issue, but nobody seems keen on solving the better compiler issue

Why do we still have to recompile the whole program everytime we make a change, the only project i am aware of who wants to tackle this is Zig with binary patching, and that's imo where we should focus our effort on..

C3 does look interesting tho, the idea of ABI compatibility with C is pretty ingenious, you get to tap into C's ecosystem for free

I didn't mean violence, i specifically said "fate"

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2013/06/13/us-whites-fa...

The hostility toward your comment proves the point: Americans willl only understand when their own cities suffer the same fate

Ironically, that prospect is approaching with each passing year

Actually, credible ESG ratings like thee ones from Sustainalytics or MSCI show BYD scoring above average for human rights governance in the automotive sector, not at the bottom

More importantly, this highlights a pattern of selective scrutiny:

- When Western companies (like Tesla) source batteries from the same regions (or use batteries from BYD or CATL), human rights concerns rarely drive mainstream criticism or policy actions

- When industries dominated by Western monopolies (eg: Big Tech's app stores or cloud services) face human rights allegations (like labor abuses in global supply chains or censorship complicity)= the backlash is often muted or just silenced

- But when a non Western competitor like BYD gains traction, human rights rhetoric suddenly intensifies, even without evidence matching the severity of claims against established Western companies

It's geopolitically convenient criticism, FUD against what threatens a western monopolistic ecosystem

"Bazzite"

You know this is a psyop when they can't resist mentioning Microsoft's product

Animals served us well when human's life expectancy was 30yo

Centenarians i know are all on a plant based diet

Insects? why bother
