Trump says he has 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles because Elon Musk 'endorsed me very strongly'
Imagine being so blatant on bribery.

Wayland didn’t kill Linux desktops, but it did expose their weakest assumptions [EDIT: Warning, article likely written with AI assistance]
Damn that 30 year old protocol for sneaking up on people.

After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'"

Hard to imagine but back in the day it wasn’t up to your operating system to distribute software. They were just a platform and you had open choice to obtain software.
Apple showcasing what their hardware and software was capable of was normal. I don’t think this was negligent but maybe naive seeing how things are run now. It was much better and we got better products and competition.
Budgie was an apple developer before with Marathon which was exclusive not because of any distribution rights but just preference for the platform.
Alas money talks.

If you have a Turing Pi make sure you align politically with the core team or be made fun of.

There is little. Some guy suggested not using X for announcements . He stated not liking Musk.
Nsky decided to make fun of him and force him out of the server like a child and dropped this comment after the guy left.
Nsky is one of the core members at Turing Pi.

It's gotten so flashy
To be honest back in 1990 having a tui with arrow key navigation in a start up rom was pretty fucking advanced.

Why use hjkl instead of jkl;?
This is the terminal that was used by the creator of vi, Bill Joy.
It should be obvious on why those keys were used. They weren’t “mapped” they literally were the arrow keys. It’s hard to change defaults. Anyone who knows vi keybinding and install work on vim or any other system.
It would be easy for you to change your own keybindings. Why is there a need to change everyone’s default and break existing muscle memory.

Man, FB is horridly optimized
I used to work at FB a a while back (working on infra, not FE or anything user touching) and we would have private development servers and occasionally I would need to do work on the FE PHP repo (called www) and would need to stay a development server for FB.
It would connect ti the various services and database as read only and was a private copy. It functioned just like a real webswver with the exception that the cache was stone cold. It would takes MINUTES to load the front page the first time. It is crazy how much caching just makes it functional.
The problem is that there are so many services and datasets read all the time.

Astral is building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust
Nice! This is very exciting. I don't like the current landscape of python type checkers.
Please implement something like pyre-upgrade for being able to enable strict linting and upgrade existing code bases (but without all the other problems pyre brings). https://pyre-check.org/docs/types-in-python/#upgrade

I watched the first 30 seconds and it was just explanation about knowing nothing about the subject. (Precious steam machines and the steam controller). It didn’t seem relevant to me.
