I love technology, FOSS, learning languages, history, and philosophy

I’m in a nearly identical position, I don’t have any advice except stay strong and know you’re not alone. It’s rough out here right now. Even temp agencies for IT work are a dead end, they want me to relocate for 30 days of employment lmao. I’m just doing gig work while I wait but the hiring market for this field is fucked right now
I think about him saying don’t tell my wife about the chicken wings at least once a week lol
Default Fedora workstation and Silverblue do it this way. First boot prompts you to create an account and set it up, then lands you on the desktop and asks if you want a tour of the UI
Yah I’m aware of their US backing and their oil deals. If Assad was still around he’d be the obvious bulwark against imperialism in the region even with his obvious flaws. I suppose I’d hoped rojava had more staying power than just what the US deals had supplied so they could fill some of that role. I just find it tragic to see the region pulled apart for plunder again to this extent
Terrible. This just emboldens fascist erdogan and HTS, and crushes any chance of sovereignty for Kurds or continuation of the flawed but progressive experiment in rojava.
I don’t have experience with dual GPU laptops but from what I’ve heard PopOS handles them really well. They also have an image with the nvidia drivers preinstalled which should make the setup process straightforward
Edit: I also found this github repo which documents some fixes for issues on that device specifically. Not sure how many of these have been patched upstream by now but it’s worth checking out.
I agree. I think Hector Martin should not have endorsed that sort of behavior to whatever extent he did. But I also think long term that the sorts of behavior that’s keeping these rust patches out of the code base will kill the future of the project. The reasons given aren’t even applicable since the patches are in their own branch of the tree. But I agree brigading is not the way to address these sorts of organizational issues
I agree but in terms of the features, momentum, and community around rust I think it’s the most promising option for memory safe language. But you’re right that it’s not the only option, I should say that they should be more welcoming to mixed language development with memory safe languages in general
Rust is the future for this sort of systems programming work, and by failing to see that and accommodate its use both Linus and Hellwig are sabotaging the long term viability of the kernel imo. New devs are keen to jump on rust because of how much it does better than C/++ and how much easier it is to make safe and secure systems with it, but shit like this just demotivates that crowd and thins the pool of people who are willing to contribute going forward. We need memory safety by default, the task of kernel stability is only going to get more complex and unsustainable without it. Stop holding onto tradition and purity for the sake of it
It’s good that it’s gone, but this makes me think US imperialism is going to stop trying to curry favor with soft power and kickbacks for compradors, and instead go full mask off and just coup or invade everyone they want shit from. I know that the hard power has been used excessively throughout US history for these goals already but I worry it could ramp up to new levels.
Arch is amazing for what it is, hence the love. It’s what you make of it; by default there’s nothing and you design your own system from scratch. This leads to a very passionate and enthusiastic community who do great work for one another, for everybody’s benefit. Anything under the sun can be found in the AUR, the distro repos are fresh and reliable, and every issue that arises has a hundred people documenting the fix before it’s patched.
Ubuntu has a bad reputation for inconsistency, privacy invasive choices, etc. I don’t think all the hate is deserved, as they corrected course after the Amazon search fiasco, but I still won’t use it because of Snaps. They have a proprietary backend, so even if I wanted to put up with their other strange design decisions I can’t unless I wanted closed source repos. That goes against my whole philosophy and reasoning for being on Linux to begin with, and many feel the same.
