The rust compiler produces a flawless understanding of your code, and then quits out because understanding that code is a Nightly-only feature and you’re using the stable build.

It cheeses my beans so goram much that they took a perfectly good web site and made it terrible so they could sell it to “the public”, notionally the same people who were using the site!!!

I can only conclude that this is some kind of scam and actually most of the thing is going to end up owned by deliberately nebulous “institutional investors” and not the community members who constitute and deserve ownership of the community. Or even the people at Reddit Inc. who did the work of making the thing.

DAE socialism?

LocalSend is nice because you can set it up in a push configuration instead of a pull. I used to set up a server like that where I had the file, then go over where I wanted it and navigate and pull it and wait for it to download. But with auto-accept on on LocalSend I can push the file and by the time I get over to where I sent it it is mostly there already.

One approach here is the Ubuntu CD/DVD images. You can (could?) use the disk as a package source for apt to install from.

When the OS tells Android Firefox that the phone is running out of ram, it murders any tabs it thinks you might not be looking at, to avoid being murdered by Android for its ram.

High-level polyamory.

Does UEFI shell have wget?

Linux hobbyists

Who else has opinions on snaps vs. flatpacks? Are they distinct to the “Linux professional” somehow?

And it doesn’t cause other problems like outsmarting the brain systems that are supposed to be attaching your intelligence to the interests of your body? Or the people inconveniently stopping you from snorting cocaine constantly until you die? And there’s no level of intelligence you reach where you note that higher levels are unlikely to be any more use to you in achieving your actual goals, versus spending that button-pushing time on other tasks? And all this intelligence is free and doesn’t require any energy input to run in your head? And at some level you become intelligent enough to impart these abilities to your descendants or to just never die? And you reach a level of intelligence where you can fight off the CIA before you reach a level of intelligence where you interest the CIA?

People don’t generally reason about things like “intelligence” as an abstract value from zero to infinity, because we don’t encounter such things very often. What we do encounter is people trying to scam us. If you present someone with something that appears to be a 100% obvious perfect move with absolutely no drawbacks whatsoever, they mostly correctly conclude that they just aren’t smart enough to understand the catch.

You probably want to run the command as nobody, the special system user who daemons become when they don’t want to have root permissions.

I feel like this is backwards and netrw is The Way.

It really does though. Someone controls the project and decides what’s in or out. Other people engineer around that project, and the current latest version of that project becomes a de facto standard.

So you can either use that and let the people who control the project be in charge, or you can find enough developer time to maintain 99% compatibility as the de facto standard project changes stuff and the ecosystem you need to use follows.

So that’s why everything is enormous now!

On desktop: animations tied to scrolling.

Hello and welcome to our scroll wheel powered video presentation.

So this isn’t a Minecraft-esque survival mode for Scikit

Instead of an MS account, join a domain and use the domain account to log in. You can set up a domain with Samba.

No, I think this is just a consequence of having heard about all the times we treated people like they weren’t actually people. If we want to avoid keeping doing that, we might sometimes have to treat things that might not be people or aren’t actually people as if they were people, just to be sure we’ve covered everybody.

That suggests they’re less likely to try to frantically monitize in a way that risks killing their brand’s reputation. Maybe they’ll stay nice indefinitely.

Pretty much everything deserves respect.

And while the bots don’t have our feelings, the characters they are made to portray are able to follow feeling physics in the same way that we can. Insult it, now it says it’s mad. Compliment it, it will claim to feel gratitude. And the claimed feelings influence what is said next, as if they were being felt.

Are those “real” feelings? Or just “fake” feelings we’ve yet to explain away? If you have no way of telling the difference, isn’t it better to be kind to the machine than to be mean to the alien from vector space?

Right now.

But everybody is also moving into their castle. Many for free.

They are not allowed to let people do that unless they have an argument that, somehow, this makes money for the owners of Cloudflare. Maybe that’s in the form of good publicity. Maybe they’re hoping to set up some tollbooths at the castle gate, once enough people are inside and the other options have withered for lack of customers.
