entwine@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Linux Distribution "NixOS" drama: Moderation Team resigns in protest over Interference of Leadership; Elected Leader works for US Military Company, fearing alignment with US fascistic development3·12 小时前Peter Thiel is a character who believes in a single world government using AI outside of any democracy.
Sorry, but your description doesn’t paint an accurate-enough picture of this guy.
Peter Thiel is a lunatic who believes that AI regulation is the anti-christ, and he’s currently one of the most powerful people in the world.
entwine@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•A Lot Of Rust Code Lining Up For The Linux 6.18 Kernel214·12 小时前Earlier this year, Hector Martin resigned from kernel development because he claimed kernel devs were trying to sabotage efforts to get Rust into the kernel. While he’s been gone, it seems the pace of Rust integration has increased significantly, suggesting that maybe he was the problem all along.
Lesson: always push out egomaniacs who like to create drama more than they want to solve problems.
What’s the logo between Guix and C?

entwine@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Where does Palantir get the data from to begin with?1·2 天前I’ve been wondering about this recently too. Everyone has had that situation where they talk about (Thing) out loud with someone, and then a few seconds later they see an advertisement for (Thing). That means there is something recording conversations and selling it to advertisers. I don’t see why those companies wouldn’t sell that to Palantir too.
The obvious suspect for “who the fuck is recording my conversations” is smartphones, but it’s also probably IOT shit like smart TVs and other appliances. Even if not connected to wifi, some could include their own modems.
In addition to this, Palantir could also just buy location and other data directly from telecom companies. They could even have deals with eg Qualcomm to backdoor their SoCs or implement data collection. (Except I think something like that would’ve been caught be security researchers already)
entwine@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Police drone tracks Walmart theft suspect in real time11·2 天前This is admittedly very cool, and I don’t support shoplifting even if it’s from an evil megacorp.
What worries me is that Cop Drone™ will start carrying a gun some day.
An RTO mandate isn’t growth. Growth would be if they mandated all hard drives containing Teams source code be thrown into a dumpster, and the dumpster lit on fire.
entwine@programming.devto Opensource@programming.dev•Rustdesk Server Pro allegedly violates AGPL license by not distributing source17·4 天前Isn’t the dev behind rustdesk (at least the original) anonymous? I remember that standing out as a red flag for me when I was evaluating options, and ended up going with Mesh Central instead (which works much better imo)
entwine@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Google blames ad blockers for crashing YouTube view counts41·4 天前They do. The youtube studio thing automatically inserts a shitload of ad breaks by default, but channels have the option to customize it. When you see a video with annoying ad breaks, it’s because the creator didn’t choose to remove them.
entwine@programming.devto Raspberry Pi@programming.dev•The ultimate all-in-one PC: Raspberry Pi 500+ on sale now at $200English5·5 天前Define “ultimate”
Pis are neat, but they’re not particularly great at anything, and they in fact suck at most things. They’re toys except maybe for some very specific use cases (for which anyone reading this doesn’t fall under).
You can find something more powerful and useful for $200. Just buy a used laptop, and you even get a battery, screen, and touchpad (neither of which come with the pi)

bash supports this feature too btw
entwine@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Bytedance Proposes "Parker" For Linux: Multiple Kernels Running Simultaneously14·6 天前Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the point of this is to reduce overhead associated with virtualization (aka VMs). Few workloads are able to take advantage of the massive compute resources that a single beefy machine has, so partitioning it is the most efficient use of resources, especially in data centers where maximizing efficiency is important.
entwine@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Does Proton really support Trump? A deeper analysis (and surprising findings)241·8 天前This article was written by an anonymous/throwaway Medium account. For all we know, it was written by a PR firm they hired. Corporate propaganda has zero credibility, and the anonymity makes it impossible to verify that it’s anything else.
And if anything, now that time has proven that Trump/Vance were, in fact, worse than everyone was saying, it’s further reason to hate Proton for using their influence/reach to support them. Did it help them win the whitehouse? Hard to say, but even in the best case scenario, it comes off as a lame, opportunistic move to advertise their services to MAGA and profit off political turmoil.
entwine@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Might need to switch distros, which one should i use?1·15 天前KDE recently released their own immutable distro based on Arch. It’s still early though, so maybe use Bazzite or Kinoite in the meantime.
OpenSUSE MicroOS is another immutable like Fedora Atomic, and you can use it as a desktop.
Whoa, take a deep breath, relax a bit. Modern life can get us constantly on our nerves, I understand it, but let’s not take it out on each other.
Any comment can appear hostile if you that’s what you’re looking for. I didn’t think my comment was hostile, but intent isn’t always obvious on the internet (and up/downvote systems tend to quickly distort it). In any case, if you’re trying to keep a discussion civil, making condescending assumptions about someone’s mental state is the wrong approach.
I didn’t comment like complaining in a demanding way, like thinking that mozilla devs would have to maintain it for me. I just commented to express myself and show that there are real people still using 32-bit software around the world
That’s fine, and I never accused you of doing so.
I assume you saw my other comment already in this thread, which explains my position. I’ll take this to mean that we’re in agreement, so this exchange can have a happy ending 💖
It depends. Spend enough time on bug trackers and forums for open source software, and you’re bound to encounter hostile assholes shitting on devs when they make decisions to drop support for ancient hardware like the OP. It’s particularly egregious IMO because they usually are willing and happy to use an ancient build of some proprietary software without complaining, but feel entitled to demand more from open source maintainers for some reason.
If you’re doing it for your own fun, not making demands of devs/maintainers, and accepting that you’re not going to get support for a lot of software, then it’s all good.
Just another game engine 🤷
