what’s the issue?
ever heard of friends? i never claimed it was a generalized phenomenon
good response, but the last part feels a little circular reasoning
linux contributors live mostly in nato countries, so we have no choice but to push people from non-aligned countries away, which will prevent people from non-nato countries from joining, which will make most contributors be from nato countries
as someone said, people who were removed from the list can still contribute, i think, but this might lead to a situation where technology sovereignty will mean using your own regional linux fork
i did test ghostbsd earlier today, actually. i liked it, it felt pretty solid. also, from reading the docs, freebsd gave me the impression of being a very solid system as well
but again, the permissive licensing puts me off, and i don’t see what it offers over e.g. debian that makes up for it
lmao, it was just an honest question. people are too sensitive
honestly, i’m not even sure i’d blame him. who knows what kind of pressure he’s getting behind closed doors
my understanding was that the kernel didn’t publicly state any specific reason, but “complying to sanctions” semms like a safe bet to me
in any case, whatever the reason, this removal is unfortunate and uncalled for
YUP
so… maybe nobody should be banned and it sucks that this happened?
there is simply no meaningful response to this
no matter whether you think russia is justified in invading ukraine or not, if russians get banned from the kernel bc russia invaded ukraine, yankees have to get the boot as well
the ubuntu machines at work are nearly unusable bc snaps don’t play well with our intranet setup and it just so happens that ubuntu thought it would be a brilliant idea to make firefox, the default browser, a snap
slack is also a snap so the support team had to install it by hand so that we don’t get locked out of work meetings while at the office
this sucks so much bc ubuntu is basically the first distro that comes to mind when ppl think “linux”, so it shouldn’t make us deal with this kind of bullshit. i wish they went back to the days where ubuntu was just a boring repackaged debian
sorted by controversial and found this post. why? this is amazing
cool article
which makes me wonder why there are people who still avoid systemd. i get that alpine can’t use glibc, but what about everyone else? i just see vague statements about systemd being “too big” or going “against unix philosophy”, but never concrete disadvantages of systemd compared to other pid-1s
edit: also, i wonder how viable would it be to port systemd to musl or whatever alpine uses so that they can take advantage of it
we all have our most wanted missing features but if i’m being honest i don’t see how session saving should take priority over e.g. rendering protocols
not a wayland dev but: patches welcome
that’s fucking scummy. he really hates mastodon admins having agency over their own servers
“this week in plasma: core plasma shell rewritten in typescript and electron”
systemd is a system daemon, not an init system
also, why should applications avoid depending on useful features?
did they release a changelog?
