There is also Ladybird browser that IIRC already has a more complete web standards implementation than Servo despite being a much younger project. Though it’s still far from being ready and performance is really bad. But so far it seems that it’s going to outpace Servo.

All POSIX compatible shells have their quirks and differences because the common POSIX part is rather small, so you will need to learn them anyway when switching from one to another. Fish is not that different from them (to much less extent than something like nushell) and it benefits from having less ancient baggage.

If a messaging service requires a phone number then it’s not “secure” lol.

On Linux you can use tmpfs

Nah, 330% improvement won’t even bring it close to JavaScript. Python is slow.

Everyone who have use Twitter in the past 2 years is a nazi.

What I don’t like about Go’s error handling is that it’s built on returning a tuple of result/error instead of enum/union/variant/whatever-its-called. Which means that on error path you have to return something for successful result too (usually a “zero-initialized” struct because Go doesn’t have optionals). You are not returning result or error, you are always returning both. This is just wrong.

I can’t tell if it’s satire or not

Atomics are not free, and there is no need to make access to FILE_COUNT thread-safe in this case. Though of course this code has many other issues.

AFAIK kernel itself doesn’t send any signals to processes on shutdown/reboot, it just stops executing them. This is a job service manager (e.g. systemd) that terminates processes using SIGTERM before asking kernel to shutdown.

That’s why you launch them through systemd.

Both Germany and Japan were defeated in war (that they themselves started) and occupied by foreign forces. Their “denazification” was enforced by occupiers. You are arguing against your own points (not that you have any, except “war is bad and America is to blame for Russia’s actions”).

Not all hardware seems to be affected (at lest in case of second issue). I have a AMD GPU though and I hit both of them.

Latest Tumbleweed snapshot has a Mesa bug that causes 50% chance of black screen after login. A few weeks before that Plymouth was broken causing >1 minute boot times. To solve these issues users need to learn how to rollback updates from command line, so it’s certainly not a good replacement for Windows.

I know it’s rolling release distro but you can’t claim “it’s rolling release so bugs are expected and it’s your fault for using it” and “it’s betest and stablest system ever, everyone should use it” at the same time.

Not quite true. Code still has copyright owners and they are not bound by terms of free software licenses (they use licenses to allow other people to use their code). This means that copyright owner can make their code proprietary at any time, or change the license to any other. Although they can’t do anything about previously released versions AFAIK.

However in case of projects with many contributors that don’t have a CLA (which transfers an ownership to some organization) nothing can be changed in practice since every contributor owns their piece of code and will have to consent to the change of license. Linux is such a project so it will forever remain GPLv2 licensed.

It was broken so long I honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if news surfaced that Discord was taking back-handers from Microsoft under the table to keep it broken.

Tech companies are fully capable of being lazy for free. Fixing this takes dev time from other work that brings Discord money so doing this costs them, especially considering that Linux userbase must be rather tiny. 99% of software companies don’t give a shit about making quality product and will always try their hardest to do as little work as possible while making as much money as possible. If fixing a bug will cost them more than potential profits from making it work then they won’t fix it.

I’m not American but my understanding is that many of those “suburban” residential blocks have sidewalks and you can walk around withing the confinement of your block. However blocks are isolated from each other and you need a car to go somewhere else.

we ain’t never gonna have the Year of the Linux Desktop

Yes, but at this point you can’t even blame Microsoft for this. Maybe the issue lies elsewhere?

They are trying to make money to stay afloat. Postmarketos is a community project so it’s not comparable. And neither Purism nor Pine64 seem to be huge commercial successes just like Jolla, though they seem to be doing a bit better.
