  • Qt Bridges: Modernizing Software Design and Development

    Jump

  • I still have no idea what this thing is. They claim it's not really just additional language bindings, but that's exactly what it looks like to me.

    Faster coding isn't enough - AI's untapped power in software development

    Jump

  • They probably used AI to help write it.

  • Now Ubuntu is Also Ditching Xorg Completely for Wayland!

    Jump

  • Other mainstream distros cannot even be installed by blind users because screen readers are broken on wayland

  • After 15 months and 3,800 hours of 'worst case' usage, one independent test finds OLED burn-in is now almost a non-issue

    Jump

  • almost a non-issue

    tl;dr there's still burn-in but it's supposedly not very noticeable until you use the device for > 5 years

  • Been using Ubuntu since 2008... looks like this will be the last year for me.

  • An update on the X11 GNOME Session Removal. The X11 session for GNOME 49 will be disabled by default and it’s scheduled for removal

    Jump

  • I meant no interest in using it.

  • macOS 26 introduces the Containerization Framework: "enables developers to create, download, or run Linux container images directly on Mac"

    Jump

  • macOS 26? I thought the last version was 15...

  • An update on the X11 GNOME Session Removal. The X11 session for GNOME 49 will be disabled by default and it’s scheduled for removal

    Jump

  • Time to switch then. I have no interest in wayland.

  • Patch interpreter path in embedded binary?

    Jump

  • You could just change the path in the binary to a string that's smaller than what's in there now (or the same length), and pad any unused bytes with \0, then symlink that path to your real binary.

  • Forget IPs: using cryptography to verify bot and agent traffic

    Jump

  • I wonder how long it will be until they start requiring signatures for individual people.

  • Installing a VPN on Linux? Here are the Easiest Methods

    Jump

  • To me, any binary I do not have the source code for is random. I have no idea what's in it and it could be doing any number of malicious things.

  • Installing a VPN on Linux? Here are the Easiest Methods

    Jump

  • sudo curl

    sudo random binary

    Umm

  • Forget IPs: using cryptography to verify bot and agent traffic

    Jump

  • Ok so effectively then this basically shifts the work from blocking IPs to blocking domains. It might slow down some smaller players, but I imagine anyone with a decent amount of money can afford an insane number of domains.

  • Clearly this is one of those programs that was unwittingly caught in their DEI keyword searches.

  • [Open question] Why are so many rust opensource projects MIT licensed?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately

    Depends on how you look at it.

    I think some would argue that the competition and rapid innovation garnered by companies who are more freely able to leverage existing software in capitalist society, and the products and services they bring because of it, might be a net positive for the world, in comparison to the alternative.

    I think if you were to go down the path of what many FOSS zealots seem to want (not capitalism), you end up with a system that does not promote competition, and people get tired of nothing happening, and society as a whole may not progress much.

  • Forget IPs: using cryptography to verify bot and agent traffic

    Jump

  • So when that gets blocked, they can just generate a new key. I don't see how this really stops anyone that wants to keep going.

  • Why, in 2025, do we still need a 3rd party app to write a REST API with Django?

    Jump

  • you don't...

    I also feel like the amount of code they had to write with the CBVs was ridiculous, and it's not the easiest thing to read.

    To me, this could have been done much simpler and more readable with a plain function view.
