The bar for matured for someone with his history should be higher, especially in todays world.

Like making a video speaking against alt right edgelords and Nazis.

Mints outdated drivers can definitely cause issues for beginners.

No, people who want something approaching chatgpt but local want to run at least deepseek V3 32B.

Qwen at least fares much worse for my usage as do deepseek V3 under 32B.

The Rust code isn’t closed source, but I’d strongly prefer a coreutils replacement to use GPL over MIT as well.

Already fixed, in software that’s existed for years and is used by millions. But Oh no, memory issues, let’s rewrite that in <language of the month>! will surely result in a better outcome.

Rsync is great software, but the C language fates it to keep having memory issues in spite of its skilled developers.

Preventing a bug from being possible > fixing a bug.

I fear moving away from GPL that moving to Rust seems to bring, but Rust does fix real memory issues.

Take the recent rsync vulnerabilities for example.

At least this one in a Rust implementation of rsync would have very likely been avoided:

CVE-2024-12085 – A flaw was found in the rsync daemon which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the checksum length (s2length) to cause a comparison between a checksum and uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack data at a time. Info Leak via uninitialized Stack contents defeats ASLR.

I would love this news if it didn’t move away from the GPL.

Mass move to MIT is just empowering enshittification by greedy companies.

Sadly I found out yesterday:

Matrix is not a community-based software, it was born [00] in Amdocs [01], a multinational corporation founded in Israel.

Many were claiming its impossible to get contributions merged as well.

I would be happy to find out this information is wrong or outdated.

Why not avoid amazon completely or as much as possible?

You can’t export your MFA? Aegis for example allows this.

If Mozilla wants to limit their use of my input, why the do I need to give them a full, non-exclusive license?

You shouldn’t trust TurboTax so much.

They also keep trying to trick you into giving consent:

They also lobby to keep taxes complex.

You use Simplex over Signal for improved privacy and no identifiers, not Matrix.

Signal is still very good though.

Note this also builds oci compatible containers you can run with podman, kubernetes, etc.

It lets you develop on bare metal in an environment the same as the docker container and is reproducible rather than just repeatable.

This could be solved with a:

Sorting by new is usually a waste of my time and has nothing of interest to me.

What’s your take on what valve has done for linux gaming and how much off it is open source?

Doesn’t opera gx have horrible privacy issues?
