Love how when the dev of this felt compelled to link to atl, their browser gave them the link with /-/issues at the end. Really shows the effort that went into porting.

Do literally anything but use foolproof desktop apps in a system that cannot revert to a known state.

They already have a dozen, they all suck.

No, I don’t thing scrubs / balances resume on boot up, they’d have to be started again.

No blocking and static content.

If it HAS to have user-generated content, then 1) it’s an app, not a website 2) have it untraceable to me from it to me 3) shove it in a jurisdiction that doesn’t care. Still no blocking.

No, it makes no sense. Keep looking. Worst case, buy some locally for cash.

Convinces clueless FOSS communities to move off IRC. Onto a unusable protocol designed around netsplits they never cared about, yes, but it’s n o v e l!

Oh yeah. I’ve started Marvel Midnight Suns, and 4 hours of cutscene later they show how you deploy on a mission: by walking on a rainbow bridge or something. I’m like: “brilliant, now that’s a way to disguise loading with something I’m doing, even if it’s just walking” , and then, at a random place of that bridge, an actual loading screen appears for a good minute. What’s wrong with you.

Syncthing, a peer to peer file synchronize that basically everyone needs, they just don’t know it.

NixCon Europe gets sponsor money from a military company. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever had a knee-jerk reaction, because not only they were having such a nice peaceful day before getting reminded that military exists, and they themselves are sponsoring it, while, clearly, in the enlightened world like ours military = bad, “every rifle made is money taken from good causes”. Also, wars are something that only happens in history books anyway, not, say, present-day Europe, amirite? Tons of internal value dissonance, fediverse buzz and free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

NixCon NA gets sponsor money from the same company, because the value proposition of the previous PR stunt was so sky-high, it’d be negligence to not repeat it. Taxpayers of the greatest democracy ever are reminded once again they don’t have a slightest say say in what they’re funding, so they try their best to not get funded back with their own money and bury their heads back in the sand again. Tons of free PR later, said military company gets their money back.

Now the foundation publishes a sponsorship policy, the community debates whether it is or is not enough to prevent said military company from diverting funds from the stuff they find so revulsing and towards the stuff they are so excited about. This round of free PR is on the house.

What’s gonna happen next, we all wonder.

inb4 “what would you say when the Nix-powered killer drones arrive to your country to start cost-effectively slaying your people”: “it’s 2024, dafuq took you so long”

And before Pidgin was named Pidgin, it was named GAIM, which was short for GTK AIM, which was short for GIMP toolkit AOL IM, which was short for GNU Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger, which was short for GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program toolkit America Online Instant Messenger and it never ends.

I run syncthing with my own relay and I trust that setup. Owning me through syncthing would basically require backdooring the software, something that’d be likely to go noticed by the syncthing community.

Rustdesk is a backdoor by functionality and it’s already using infra I don’t control. I don’t feel comfortable using that.

It’s literally a third-party service that let’s others control your desktop. Doesn’t matter how FOSS the clients and end servers are, one also needs to trust the intermediate servers. If those running them are caught dishonest about which country they’re located, the trust evaporates. China or not.

Apple, Apple and Apple. Your point being?..

Firefox ate my RAM joke is ridiculous. Nokia N900 has 256MB RAM. Fennec for Maemo had electrolysis (multiprocessing) turned on. In version 4. Years before the desktop Firefox. You really need to go old-school embedded for Firefox to eat your RAM.

Don’t you dare put nix together with these fossils of package management.

I’m saying it runs it because “running” is transitive, but doesn’t boot it because “booting” is not. Similarly to how you can carry your grandkid by carrying your kid who carries their kid (carrying is transitive), but you can’t give birth to your grandkid by giving birth to your kid who’d give birth to their kid (giving birth is not transitive).

Yes, but it doesn’t count, because the SoC from the picture didn’t boot Linux, an emulated machine did.

That’s why the records on doing this silly stuff on progressively smaller microcontroller use the word “run”. It has more transitivity.

It is literally prefized with “roughly”.
