  • Yep, I’m with you. Project Bluefin is exactly what I want from an OS. My previous Linux experiences had all been awful UX, having to diagnose obscure issues and copy pasting decipherable terminal commands. Until Bluefin, nothing ever worked straight out of the box.

    Bluefin’s main issue right now is a lack of good documentation. Like you, I’ve tried to get devcontainers working and they just don’t.

    1. I actively chose software written in Rust over other software, even if it’s not better, and I argue that it is.

    Rust has quite a high barrier for entry which is likely to deter inexperienced developers. I’d say that’s enough justification to favour software written in Rust.

    Python on the other hand is far too easy to get started with, thus the ecosystem is plagued with terrible software. I avoid it like the plague. Yes, there some decent projects written in Python but they are rare things









  • There’s a lot more detail in this BBC story but it still seems likely there’s an injunction against publishing any specifics of the lies MI5 told.

    My interpretation is that “Beth” was assaulted on multi occasions by a right wing MI5 informant. She reported this to the police and the suspect was arrested. However while in custody the suspect insisted he was an MI5 operative and MI5 was contacted, MI5 then intervened and had the informant was released.

    Most likely MI5 then lied about intervening (the false evidence) but the BBC have clear evidence that MI5 took charge of evidence. Thus MI5’s lies were exposed.

    The police did not take a full statement from Beth or obtain the video of her being attacked. The CPS quickly discontinued the prosecution.

    The police force concerned and the CPS insist the case was discontinued due to lack of evidence.

    Police said they did not seize any items as part of their own investigation, and were “unable to advise when or why these were taken”.

    This was untrue, as the police force concerned was responsible for calling in counter terror officers.

    The police claim that property had been returned to X was also untrue - the material had been given to MI5.
