I’ll downvote that too.

It seems to #bothsides an issue via a lot of hyperbole, and risks straw-manning one side just for a favourable comparison.

I don’t colour myself a tankie, but I do live in a more socialist country than America - low bar, such as it is. I sense I’m not in a position to properly understand how your argument can make sense, but the kneejerk comparison I feel needs some explanation before just throwing that smelly fish out there.

It’s not cut-and-dried, but presented as such. It’s not helpful and relevant by itself. Thus, downvote.

It’s funny that we’ve had SLSA4-compliant package managers for 25 years, but we leave juniors un-mentored and this is what they build as they self-teach … over and over and over.

I think those robes, the crown, the Sceptre, they were all the Crown’s stuff - aka the Firm, the organization that is the English monarchy - and not his. They existed before him, they will exist after him, and his wearing them lays little claim of ownership past “work clothes” than a pilot can claim to own the plane he’s flying.

Yes, it’s a bad look. The guy at the bank denying loans wears a fancy suit. The lawyers in America fighting to deny healthcare wear amazing suits.

Would you have him sell the crown he doesn’t effectively own to throw money at a problem? Never go to the Louvre, or they’ll toss you out for yelling about how they should sell the art to pay for the French homeless.

In all this you forget: if the pilot sells his plane, if the Louvre sells some pricy paintings, if the Crown’s representative sells the work clothes he’s issued, who’s buying it? That guy, those people buying them, they’ve truly amassed a personal fortune to be able to buy something like that. It’s not work for them; it’s obscene decadence and greed.

THOSE are your villains. Taxation is how we get them to pay their share from here on in, like we did in the '40s through the '70s. And I think the max tax rate above 1mil gross takings every year should be a 101% tax rate: you’re paying everything you took and just a little bit more. Maybe take less. Maybe launch fewer rockets and buy a few less elections and pay to fix hunger and healthcare and all that instead.

Linux’s license not count as about Linux?

Philosophically, no.

In set theory, also no.

Legally, still no.

Does it contain similar letters? Like Laughter and Slaughter do, yes.

That’s already plural. It’s like a hat on a hat.

Still hosting gitlab.

The CI on forgejo is, unfortunately, nowhere near as good.

Given how long gitlab has been struggling to fix basic bugs and instead creeping into features - hello-oo bloated and slow vscode-like web editor and non-ephemeral runner management - I’m not sure they have any staff left to let go. But it’s nice they found an excuse to shed their remaining talent and avoid complete stock devaluation.

The planning is happening openly, including a voluntary separation window.

“We don’t understand how the Dead Sea Effect works, and we want to super-size the damage.”. Okay, Bill.

minimal acceptable set of politics.

I like how you said “minimal”, like it’s a floor and not a flavour.

No-no, it’s perfect like that. Don’t dare change it.

Those of us around for the days when off-shoring was some kind of magic pill will remember how it wasn’t. Outsourcing to some guy in Delhi, Ohio, doesn’t seem so different; apart from time zone, maybe.

Ai isn’t the cause for this but it certainly was the enabler.

Supply chain attacks are what scare me.

As a former OS security pro, this is the right answer. Not because of the exploit itself, but because young (unmentored) coders readily trust some really bad patterns of pulling in random junk from the web and running it. THIS is how the LPE becomes essentially an RCE-level problem.

I’m totally okay with them receiving money from bad companies. It’s like vandals ordered to pick up highway trash - yo momma - as punishment.

Receiving Merge Requests from sloppers, though? That’s not cool.

Prefer a cache since the reddit content could be removed or blocked on a whim?

Guys brought a large pizza each on a newark-austin flight in 2001. The rest of us on the packed flight were Sooo jealous.

Whoa whoa. If you saw how bad both Canadian international carriers were, you’d understand Delta striving for shitty service is actually cultural appropriation. That’s apparently our thing.

I shudder to imagine what they’d think of a car with a clutch and a left-toe switch for the high-beams.

You’ve got suppy-chain attacks and boutique complexity in three easy steps. Squeeze it into a flatpak or crutch on containers to frustrate validation and it’s the perfect footgun from a security standpoint.

…but only to mod the repo config to install emacs-nox. After that having seen the resource usage is the same as vi just use what’s most versatile.

Heh. Container mafia going “hush, don’t worry about iso27002, just one more pull, bro.”

Do the sysctl fix and you’re fine to wait for a patch.

Disable the sandbox bit and it’s bobbitted, right ?

The Compress attribute has been in even ext3 since day 1. I’ve never tried it, though.
