  • I don't like GC languages. Things written in them often seam to be written like they are the only thing that matter on a system. Thus don't play well with each other in regards to memory consumption. Memory is not an all you can eat and clean up later. Yes there are environment variables you can use to enforce better behaviour, but that's a fail. Rewrites into Rust seam to solve this, but I know reason is really that Rust is the new cool thing and programmers like rewrite things, but I'll take the win.

    Also, I don't like static linking. It doesn't scale. When a library has a vulnerability, it means everything needs rebuilding. It also means you have lots of duplicates of those libs at different versions. It's a mess I hoped had died of decades ago.

    Also, I don't like languages each having their own half maintained package manager that is their language only. Just put in the work and get into root distros like Debian, Fedora, etc. Maintain a stable version you back port security fixes to. Only trustworthy packages get in. All languages under one roof.

    Also, I don't like languages that orbit an American tech monopoly.

    Also, I think Go is failure and in legacy mode and largely replaced by Rust.

    Basically, Go often makes me grumpy. ForgeJo is an exception. I also like a lot of what Codeberg say and do.

    It triggers me with things I also didn't like in other things of the past.

  • It's so easy, why bother? But I have each service in a separate small Debian VM to avoid conflicts. This avoids conflicts, enforces limits, and gives kernel separation. The real kernel isn't running anything public.

  • ForgeJo is pretty nice.

    I mean it's Go and not package managed properly in distros, but as a services to run it's nice.

  • Exactly, consumer choice only works as a force in a functional market. Phone OSs are very much not a functional market. This requires regulators to wake up.

  • Humans and still humans, but red vs blue is the worse setup. All debates just become which team you are for.

  • No, the US needs to move past Red vs Blue "democracy" to something multi party and with constant coalitions and compromises. Then hopefully grown ups will run the US. Two parties is a democratic failure.

  • Well that is going to start causing panic for fossil fuel companies and petrol heads. Important mile stone. Cheaper upfront and cheaper running costs.

  • Yes they do. Privatization, probably selling it to US health firms. The rich will think that is great.

  • He has said it out loud in the past, but he just couldn't make the view not drive away people, so he's quiet about it for now.

  • Sounds like your dentists is a "Nazi bar".

  • Yeah, it's hard. People don't want to see the problems because they don't want to change. Law makers are the ones we really can't fail to convince.

  • I've donated monthly to OpenRightGroup well over a decade now. I make sure it is always more than my wife's Netflix (DRM pusher) to maintain a net positive!

  • It is partly designed to hurt Fdroid. Which will hurt Lineage, Graphene, e/OS, etc. It's all very anticompetitive.

  • This is a legal/poltical issue more than a technology one. The good guys are the EFF, OpenRightsGroup, EDRi and others in the same side. Increasingly phone apps are forced on us to do things at all, and those apps are not only closed but only run on locked down OSs. It's anti competitive, anti-freedom, authoritarian, etc etc.

    We need to get better at convincing non-nerds. We need to stop fighting political fights by burying ourselves ever deeper in tech. Which I'm guilty of too!

  • Count the RISC processors and RISC ones in your house that isn't the central one of a PC. You dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, TV, routers, WiFi access points, everything else, will be RISC. Normally ARM or MIPS. Apple has gone all ARM. Microsoft are trying to be relevant on ARM. ARM servers are now in low power data centers. RISC-V has a bright future due IP anticompetitive nonsense of x86 and ARM. Oh and x86 has a RISC heart and instruction conversion chips. Which "won" again? ;-)

    Also NT is normally said to be a "hybrid" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_kernel

  • It's not just the compute, it's all that data.

    As always, have to think where you put your money.

    Be so much easier if they weren't all just different types of bastards!

  • I had a quick look and ownership and it's quagmire. I don't believe that a man like Murdoch ever gets to the point he has no stake in anything. I can't see his name on it skimming company house, but it wouldn't be that easy. I'm sure it's still his in some form.

  • Don't know when it stops doubling and switch to thousandths. I mean it's not like imperial worries about sticking to any bases anywhere else.
