Rust-rewriting is a kind of madness. I like Rust, it's an amazing language. But why rewrite programs that existed for decades and have proven their stability and safety? Rewriting them to Rust won't make them safer, it will just introduce the kind of issues original versions have got fixed long ago.

The MIT license also is a concern. I understand that many projects use it, and we can't just reject them because of the license. But here we don't see an innovation under MIT license - we see a copy of existing GNU tools, with hilarious issues and a corporation-friendly license.

The fact uutils are being shipped despite being so raw shows that this is not about better software. The whole project is about abolishing GPL. And Rust is just an excuse.

And the quality level of uutils being already shipped tells they either make free alpha testers for the corpos of the users, or there were no competent programmers to take part in the development.

C will remain the core of the modern digital world for many years. It is impossible to rewrite everything to Rust in a couple of years. It needs a careful professional approach if we really want this to make software better. But in this case, no one does.

Fuck Linux

All my homies use FreeDOS

There's nothing to watch. The feed is full of TV-ish garbage on political topics, and I cannot even block it from appearing.

You are already familiar with Debian, so it will be easier. Debian is more friendly than you might think. This is enough to choose it.

The genious

Any articles about this controversy? Just curious.

I like void cuz its green and alpine is cyan

Gigachad. /srs

It would be easier to tell what I initially liked due to wrong representation but dislike now.

postmarketOS, LineageOS, GrapheneOS?

I know they have limited hardware support but that's only a matter of involvement at the end of the day

Vivaldi is made by former Opera guys and deserves zero attention because it is yet another proptietary piece of crap.

this is all horrible and i wish i could talk to human beings on the internet, but is there any proof that the post you're mentioning was actually made by an ai? ai escaping from sandboxes is like a trend nowdays

Nowdays ftp-things are like ftp:// and normal websites use https://, is this a newer thing?

SimpleX is an encrypted instant messaging app, it's not designed as a social network or a forum.

Large group members often suffer from unreceiving some messages, due to group encryption complexity. It's almost like the famous "unable to decrypt message" in Matrix. Maybe one can create an unencrypted group, but then it makes no sense to use SimpleX.

Quad9 for Quadruple Nine

Librewolf seems like a go-to choice for many people like you. Assuming you are on mobile, you can try Waterfox (but it might become bloated like FF in a few months, I dunno) or kind of an ungoogled chromium. I tried AOSmium which is another one ungoogled chromium, it is too minimal for me but might be good for you. They also claim to have some Vanadium's privacy patches (you might try building Vanadium from source btw).

It was not wrong - I literally could not remember what and in what order I had to write, although I did remember most of the general concepts introduced in the program.

The original code worked fine when I was simply rewriting it looking in the book

Some communities simply purge old posts.

There does exist a Mastodon instance in I2P. I know no more than that. If you self-host your own instance in I2P, you might find out the others.

It depends on a particular community.

Communities like nostupidquestions are not expected to have posts with important news or problems one might google a year later.

Tech-focused communities, on the contrary, are expected to keep posts forever, so that important information will be accessible. However, some people delete their posts after their problem is solved. This is highely discouraged.

And Lemmy ain't just one site. Yeah.

All right then. I use FL Studio and a whole bunch of VST plugins, such as Waves, FabFilter, T-Racks, KiloHeartz, etc etc. Most of them have no Linux versions, and setting them all up with wine would be a pain. I theoretically would be able to do this, but I just need to make music as I used to before i took a break with it and tried Linux. I will consider staying on Linux, if you suggest a truly decent FabFilter suite alternative and a 1:1 replacement for Waves MetaFlanger.

Why not Alpine after all?
