Hamburger menus don’t belong in desktop applications
YSERVER is AI code slop. What exactly does this project address other than being “not wayland”? AI slop won’t fix the longterm maintainability issue of Xorg. Nor does it address support for older platforms that lack rust. Don’t @ me about “it’s more secure cuz rust” or fascist libre bs.
Apple is a loser company that only makes loser products. 0% innovation remaining. This should be a cautionary tale. The culmination of extreme hubris is looking into the toilet and, believing you are seeing gold nuggets in the bowl, refusing to fucking flush.
I think #systemd developers have failed to think large enough. What we really need is for systemd-boot to implement a hypervisor under which the linux kernel both runs and upon which it depends. We can abstract away the hardware from the linux kernel, greatly simplifying “make config” and shrinking the initramfs as driver modules are no longer required. systemd will finally fulfill its destiny as Lennart looks Linus in the eye and states “I’m the OS now”
Is there a go-to place to find refurbished or used ThinkPads? #runbsd #openbsd
@thomholwerda any HP-UX updates?
Just want to point out that breaking video output due to ABI with an OS point release upgrade is just as bad as breaking a filesystem driver. Computing is complex, and complexity is hard. No amount of OS zealotry gets around that. #freebsd #linux
LOL at people hand-wringing about Biden or anyone else violating “norms,” like that opens some imaginary door for Trump. He has never cared about norms and there are NO lines he won’t cross.
