A great example of what I’m talking about.

“Disagree? You’re a Nazi”

You’re cheapening the word and helping them become normalized.

The real problem is that there are crazy people who define anybody right of them as a Nazi.

But, we’re not ready to have that conversation yet

It’s a standard terms of service and a verbal “commitment” which isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I’m sure you’ll find the exact same wording on substack’s tos.

The problem is that what social media denizens call Nazi and what Ghost and substack call Nazi are all wildly different things.

New people don’t realize that Linux is really a soap opera with a small software project attached.

Let’s say such a change happens and at that time there’s a bit of time pressure and the capacity on the rust maintainers is thing for whatever reasons. Will they still happily swallow that change or will they start to discuss if it’s really necessary to do that change? And suddenly, the C-maintainer has a political discussion on top of the technical issue they wanted to solve.

This situation could occur even if the code using the API was written in C.

If an API change breaks other downstream kernel code, and that code can’t be fixed in time then they have a conversation about pushing the changes to the next build.

In the end, Linus has already chosen to accept the extra development overhead in using Rust. I think this situation was more about a maintainer, who happens to disagree with the Rust inclusion, using their position to create unnecessary friction for other maintainers.

cat is the tool of distinguished gentlemen

I think you’ll find, as a regular civilian or a VIP in the target country, that you’re making a distinction without a difference.

Ask Saddam Hussein’s opinion on the US’s loss in Iraq or the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians how they feel about winning in Afghanistan.

It’s not OCD, it’s a spell

I know because the hallucinations visions, tell me so

I use it in this configuration.

It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.

A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service… but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.

sometimes nvidia drivers are in a state that breaks display reinit on wake from sleep

That happens so often that I’ve just bound a hotkey in Hyprland to poke my monitors config (toggling VRR off and on again) in order to force a mode change and wake up the display.

Someone forked Infinity and made a Lemmy client, called Eternity: https://f-droid.org/packages/eu.toldi.infinityforlemmy/

I grew up when the Internet was essentially a bunch of forum communities and 10k people was a lot of people. Something Awful felt massive with 300k registered users.

You don’t need 150,000,000 people on a subreddit to have a good community.

Communities are far better when you can recognize the names of people and remember then from previous interactions. On Reddit, you’ll probably never talk to the same person twice.

You can’t have a community full of bots if there are only a few hundred people who all know each other.

Me too nephew, me too

No, this is Patrick

That’s pretty close, the Permissive Action Link code was 00000000 for about 20 years.
