What do you mean by better?

Just you wait, DrewDevault will shit on this too.

Nice. It would make sense that not only WhatsApp and Signal are susceptible to this but any service where the person knows your identifier.

That's uh... interesting? I bet it wasn't written in Godot.

Lockdown fans will just shrug, say "won't be me!", and move on. No amount of warning will reach them

This dude probably ignored all the warnings about not owning the things you buy from Lockdown and only now is realising the impact.

Amazon Game Studios

Nope. Fuck Amazon.

As usual, everything on US infrastructure. Only Github is supported, no other avenues for funding. @rust@social.rust-lang.org how about liberapay or other alternatives?

Just install the browsers and test them on your website. That's the best way to be sure it works.

I wouldn't count satellite as a viable option for citizens during a war, especially if it's under US/foreign control (a possible enemy).

Meshtastic seems to be very vulnerable to misconfigurations that can knock out all nodes in an area by flooding them. All it needs is 2 nodes with MQTT enabled and nobody can communicate.

Jack Dorsey has alpha software and just rewrote another app. Plus, he's from the USA so his stuff shouldn't be trusted. Briar and other apps already exist. Maybe even Jami could work. The problem is that those are only the range of WiFi or Bluetooth. For communication in a city/town/village,that might be OK, but intercity communication won't be possible. Is there no meshnet tech that has greater range than WiFi and can carry more than text (I.e not meshtastic)?

And they deserve it! KDE is an amazing desktop and suite. I wish they had more funding and were used by european governments who contributed back.

How would it get traffic data? Are there public sources for traffic data? I thought traffic data was collected by all the phones and devices connected to the internet with a GPS.

"Kernel version numbers are easy"

And yet people still happily use the platform. À la "smash capitalism" sticker on a Macbook Pro.

It wasn't even tech bros. Some people started using opensource software, discovered the master branch and lost their shit. Nobody meaningful had ever connected the name to anything malevolent, but those people made themselves be offended in the name of people who weren't even offended by it.

Microsoft bought github and didn't want the bad press so they renamed it after the twitter shitstorm. The professional victims then moved on to whatever else made noise on twitter and that was that.

I force all new projects to use master as all my old scripts and repos use master. Twitter shitstorms scan stay where they should be: in the toilet bowl of the internet aka twitter.

The Linux Foundation is too busy funding AI, it seems.

They support MKV now???

I long for the day I can cargo build and cargo run the linux kernel.

Phoronix commentors will be furious.

The Linux Foundation seems to have Linux as a hobby nowadays.

Every version is stable in linux means no version breaks userspace. Semver's major version literally breaks the contract. It's what it's for.

And even if we literally meant stable as in "this is expected to work", no, that is nowhere near normal in my experience. There are countless projects and companies with "test in production" mentalities. Then there are distros like Ubuntu and nixos that always have an unstable and/or a testing release, which is by definition not stable.

So, no, every version is stable is definitely not the norm in my experience.
