They have a Kickstarter ending today, if you want books of his comics

Depends on what you’re used to. I have lost too much time trying to get a python or js program to run on my machine.
Of course if the project is well written and with decent documentation it’s easier, but in general I have had too many incompatibilities with versions of the tooling and the dependencies which may be too ancient to work properly. On the other side, go code that was written a decade ago still compiles fine without thinking about it.
Hell I even had a js project that was working then 6 months later, without changing any code in it, wouldn’t build. Talking to a front end dev at work he immediately said “oh yeah node was probably updated and you need to do x and y to make it work”. Sorry but I have other things to do than massaging bad tooling to build this.

Btw, even containers are not a bullet proof solution. I had a python container straight up not work even though it was distributed like that.

I agree in general, if you need something specific then there is no way around it. But when I’m looking for something I evaluate all possible solutions, and being written in a language that has issues like this is a mark against it. Sometimes it’s easier to write the thing myself in some language I master than to wrangle python or Js dependencies.
In my experience there is rarely only one solution written in python or Js for my use cases.

You’re not wrong, but you have offended the python guys for suggesting they use something other than their toy language.
I personally look away when I find programs I want to use that are written in python. I don’t have time to play with all that BS just to run a small software on my machine. Go is my go-to (heh) but any other modern language would be fine.

Edit: the other comment below mentioning this did not load initially…

From the incident report it seems the impact was limited to VMs in one DC in one region to be stopped, as the power was lost. And some service degradation in the region.
So not that much impact. Of course resources in this DC would stop working, but the rest of the region was still working properly. If you built your infra in this region in a resilient manner, your services should not have been impacted that much

Funnily enough, the steam deck has been used during the conflict to control remote weapons. So they could be implicated in this if you go far enough

Wow, I didn’t know that being a Linux/open source contributor meant you don’t have to follow your country’s laws.

It’s developed internationally but devs still reside somewhere and have to abide by the rules at that place. Linux in this case being represented by an US entity means they have to follow the gov’s sanctions. If you want more or less of those, that’s where (the government) you act.

Not really. See the support page regarding this:

As a new default, your phone number will no longer be visible to everyone in Signal. You can opt to display your phone number. However, people who have your number saved in their phone’s contacts will still see your phone number, regardless of your settings, since they already know it.

They know my phone number. Which in Europe is tied to me. They absolutely hold info about who talks to who

Wait, someone edited this just to remove some hamster balls ? Weird

I get what you mean. GitHub and friends have pushed that back to a more centralized approach. However I think that it’s not too bad actually. Most projects tend to be centralized too

I mean, it’s decentralized alright, but it doesn’t mean it’s HA or automatically replicated. You can just use a different origin server and push/pull from it instead.

Yeah I work in tech and I’m the only one that cares enough to use Firefox. All my colleagues use chrome or chrome with makeup.
Maybe ad blocking will be what broke the camel’s back, but I doubt more than a few will care enough to switch.

Seems like valve read this post :D

You playing with a controller? I always thought the driving was optimized for the controller as I can’t half press acceleration on a keyboard.
It’s a little bit better after the updates, but it’s still suboptimal I think.

I think it’s related to the monitor I was plugging on HDMI. With a different screen it works better.
But I still have sometimes the displayport screen not turn on after sleep, and the deck crashing when unplug/replugging it :(

??? You’re just baiting now lol

Yeah it has its place. Just not in a Linux community. Is that hard to understand?

Except my layout (bepo) is not in any specific locale and was installed manually. So I don’t think this would work
