Rust Object Notation FTW!

Compared to untyped languages? Sure. Compared to C or C++? Then maybe it's a skill issue 😋

Nowhere is anybody complaining about Firefox devs wanting money. That is so far from the issue. Most of us would happily and willingly give Mozilla money if it went to making Firefox a thing we want. If Mozilla had a bounty on features, direct avenues to fund devs, asked for donations every quarter or every semester, called for hardware donations, asked the community how to improve and listened or had community members on the board, I doubt the majority would complain. Mozilla does none of that except maybe asking for donations.

Donations to Mozilla just go into a black box and then you find out its gone to community outreach, AI features, buying an ad company, paying the ex CEO 5 millions per year, firing Servo engineers, and a bunch more crap.

There are many reasons people don't donate to Mozilla. Unwillingness to pay devs is not one of them.

So what is your proposal for now then? We should continue using Firefox and donating to Mozilla? Dont use LibreWolf?

Your point being? "Give up and submit"?

Yeah, a common NVIDIA L.

The devs aren't anybody's lackeys either. Many are doing it for free in their own time. If you dont want Wayland, then support X11 with code, money, or documentation. If you don't support the X11 devs and maintainers, then you're making a decision to let it die and nobody's "forcing you" to use Wayland.

Do you have a recent graphics card? How long is "never"?

I dont know how old your card is, but NVIDIA only recently decided not to be complete gobshite on Linux and newer cards should be safer (from what I've read). AMD has been stable on linux for the last decade or so while NVIDIA (aka NOVIDIO) was a terrible actor on Linux and the community had to reverse engineer a lot of their stuff.

That sounds limited to LLMs.

Buys an NVIDIA GPU, complains it doesn't work with Wayland. Classic.

An... AI PC? As in a neural engine or something? Will it help with running LLMs? I'm not sure what that is.

Now I have to look up what an NPU is, what it does and what it's for. Completely new territory for me. I thought it was all CPUs and GPUs, maybe specialized hardware for mining crypto but NPUs?

Had no idea, thank you!

I believe we have different definitions of slop. Slop isn't the input to me but the output. You can get all the best ingredients to make a pie but if you mix it wrong, you get slop. Same goes for low quality input being moulded into a gem.

AI doesn't always output slop.

And if you're focusing on input, then all your electronics are slop. It's almost guaranteed that child labor and exploitation was involved in collecting the resources required to build it. Your chocolate is most likely slop tooby your logic - if you bought any big brand or no name chocolate, child labor was almost certainly involved. And those children were likely also sold by their parents. There are also US products made from slaves (they call them prisoners, but is it really OK to lock somebody up for stealing a cookie and forcing them to work 8 hour days for cents per hour?) and in China Uyghurs are also forced to work unpaid. If you drink tea or coffee, boy is that all slop. The amount of land that ceded place to the large tea plantations (and let's not get started on products with palm oil) and underpaid, overworked workers (mostly women BTW) are almost guaranteed to make that tea or coffee = slop.

The dedication of this man is irreplaceable! Color me impressed 🫨

Rust haters are just a hilarious species. It's like they are paid Russian trolls blowing everything out of proportion, making nonsensical arguments, and always whining about one thing or another.

I can't tell if these are real people or just bot and sock puppet accounts operated by suckless.

Not all AI output is slop and not all slop is AI output.

Do Lemmy and PieFed support transferring subscriptions?

I don't know if it's possible to for a linux container to pass through a proxy. If so, that might be a solution.

He hates Rust too? What doesn't he hate now?
