  • Dev Interviews

    Jump

  • Honestly, for the first year or two after learning about it (which is the only time where it's really relevant) that's exactly what I did. Spend 30 seconds, derive something that's definitely correct, and never worry again about your memory randomly failing you

  • Apple Touch Bar Display Drivers Slated For Introduction In Linux 6.15

    Jump

  • See the current dislike for fully digital display on cars. As they are now they just seem like a imprecise replacement for the function keys that either forces you to constantly look down at them (since the main selling point is that programs can change it at will) or force map them to F1-F12 (meaning you've spent extra on the touch-bar for no reason)

  • Like programming in bash

    Jump

  • The classic rm -rf $ENV/home where $ENV can be empty or contain spaces is definitely going to hit someone one day

  • Deleted

    Linus responds to Hellwig - "the pull request you objected to DID NOT TOUCH THE DMA LAYER AT ALL... if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG."

  • "Glazing" is slang for over-complimenting, often to an obsessive degree

  • I'm Guilty as Charged

    Jump

  • Run info info

    Texinfo pages were originally meant to be a longer alternative to manpages that had support for featureful navigation (links, indexes, etc). They're nice and I can see a world where they did catch on, but the standard viewer is always a little bit of a shock to jump in to (being based off Emacs and all)

  • Of all Emacs features and possible ways to use, what were some of the hardest things to learn or get used to?

    Jump

  • Remnant of the type of keyboard that Emacs was developed on. Also the same place that the Super, Hyper, and Compose keys originate from

    You can map it through your X server/Wayland compositor, but if not Emacs recognizes Alt and Esc as valid meta keys

  • Linux 6.14 Adds Support For The Microsoft Copilot Key Found On New Laptops

    Jump

  • Guess the Hyper key is due to make a comeback!

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Lmao. They couldn't even copy code from a random MIT licensed project? Sometimes I think these scammers aren't even trying

  • It happens each time!

    Jump

  • DankPods just switched to Linux!!!

    Jump

  • Arch does tend to keep packages as close to upstream as possible, which can be both a good and bad thing. Sway not binding to graphical-session.target by default is a little strange for example. Other distros also save a first-time user a great deal of configuration for things they probably don't care about as well. Going through Fedora's install and finding out that disk encryption and SELinux were configured OOTB was very nice to see personally. On the other hand Arch's installation (w/o archinstall) has you choosing a bootloader, audio server, display manager, etc. Nothing arduous and I like it, but definitely not for everyone

    This is all eliminated by spinoffs of course, but even there users have the option to run random scripts/AUR packages without vetting them. Also doesn't help that the most popular Arch-based distro for a while (Manjaro) was pretty flaky and generally incompatible with the AUR (despite saying otherwise), leading to many people saying "that's just Arch" and swearing off the parent project as well

  • How to quit VIM?

    Jump

  • I switched to (Doom)-Emacs from a ~7yr old homegrown Vim config last week and honestly the configuration is less bad than it seems. If you're mainly writing markdown you'll probably get 99% of the way there by just enabling the dedicated module

  • Signal under fire for storing encryption keys in plaintext

    Jump

  • The back end is open source, but sometimes they've lagged years behind releasing the source code.

    I think this is the more worrying part if true. The backend is licensed under the AGPL, so this would technically be a violation of their terms

    1. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software

    Edit: For anyone else reading I looked into it a bit more and looks like the issue came to a head around 3 years ago, with this comment being made after a year of missing source code. The public repo has been pretty active since then, so the issue seems to be resolved

  • Cannot start spotifyd.service

    Jump

  • Additionally if you're looking for it to start on boot without logging in, you might find the loginctl enable-linger command to be of use. Maybe along with a Restart=on-failure policy in the service file if this is for a headless unit or something

  • Ye Employees Sue, Allege Black Employees Called ‘Slaves,’ Denied Pay

    Jump

  • [SOLVED] [Manjaro XFCE] Trying to mount an SSD but gives me a "Failed to mount" error

    Jump

  • If it's an external SSD I could see it being useful in order to keep native compatibility with Windows and MacOS (IIRC their other option would be FAT32 but I don't use a Windows machine so who knows)

  • Google Accidentally Deleted $125 Billion Pension Fund's Account

    Jump

  • Happened all the time over on r/androiddev. Small company brings on the wrong person/uses the wrong SDK/wrongfully fails an review and their account is then banned via "association", which then propagates down to countless other employees. Only way out is to hope and pray that a human sees the appeal or try and blow up online

    Happened so often in fact that the subreddit even created several guides on how to avoid it. My favourite part is that even unpublished apps must be updated in perpetuity to abide by Google's ever changing requirements

    Or this other occasion where viewers of one of the most popular YouTubers in the world were banned for typing in chat

  • House panel unanimously approves bill that could ban TikTok

    Jump

  • Why single out TikTok and not Chinese nationals buying US real estate, driving up the cost of commercial and residential rents?

    Heavily agree that this is equally problematic, but unfortunately it seems like the choice has already been made that real estate "investments" cannot be allowed to fail. It's the same reason why they aren't also targeting US-based companies that have been shown to have ties to foreign rivals, they're literally just playing politics. Sucks, but for now this at least opens the door for further regulation in the area

  • US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users

    Jump

  • This is why I'm having trouble understanding why people are confused about the bill's purpose, especially in the context of the last dozen years or so. Allowing a political rival to maintain control over a platform like this is granting them soft power. Even if I agree that companies like Meta should be more heavily regulated (though not in this manner), I can see why they've put a bandaid on the issue given that there's a non-zero chance that TikTok's content has been actively in the past few years

  • US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users

  • Me when I find out that it's illegal to sell your organs for profit
