Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects?
  • Yes I have setup recurring donations for some projects that really do ease up and save me so much time, although I don't think that this should be the way to keep OSS projects alive at the end of day.

    If we let it companies will outsource this responsibility to us, even when often in the current economy they are the biggest profiteers from OSS and adjacent projects.

    I donate to neovim and endeavour os, I would also donate to awesome / whatever tiling manager I currently use as it just saves me so much time (and literal pain in my case by reducing the use of the mouse).

    These people are doing great job in maintaining systems that are easy to use, fast and very customizable, making actually using my computer enjoyable as opposed to the slow, non accessible, bloated UIs from other OSs

  • Rust from a Scala perspective
  • For sure, this has been something I learned from working in Scala that has made my code in other projects much more readable and easier to reason about. For performance reasons I may need to use mutables, but often I can keep it in the context of the function and just encapsulate it.

  • Rust from a Scala perspective
  • Iam curious what features do you find missing in rust that the scala ecosystem has? Is it FP specific systems like cats? I know I've already seen what seemed like a decent actor system

  • Linux holds a market share of approximately 14% in India.
  • Do you have any interest in relocating outside India? You seem to have a good domain of English and softskills on top of some Linux. I wouldn't mind taking a look at the personal projects you mention

  • Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly
  • Also adding to other people, they "poached" games from other platforms.

    eg they wanted Rocket League, which I have on Steam and am happy to continue using there, to be completely removed from my account and available through the epic launcher some 3(?) years after I first bought it. Eventually they backpedaled, only due to community backlash, people that owned it on steam can still play it there.

    If you're serious about not knowing about all this stuff take a look at https://steamcommunity.com/groups/EpicGamesSucks/discussions/0/1796278072844560561/ Obviously Steam biased, but a very good index

  • can we please keep this community about technology and not Twitter/X and elon news?
  • I think that this is doable for most of the normal population (and likely not novel (which does not diminish its value)) with public private crypto and some authority (eg government issued ids having keys like Portugal) and then using those to authenticate to a service that allows specifically what you want to share. So normally you'd only ever share say age or something
