Not the person you wrote to, but TB has native code in C++, so I don’t really think the speed will change. The official website also doesn’t advertise speed improvements. It argued that Rust is (almost) as fast as the current native C++ part in TB, and that’s about it.

It was the academic way of politely expressing that she’s a fascist.

Sadly, Congresspeople ain’t academics.

People there are happy to continue with WeChat. I’m not sure if they know what it means for WeChat to be never taken down while others are.

Google fires 28 workers for protesting $1.2 billion Israel contract (www.nbcnews.com)

“Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC.”

Why did you put the question marks there?

That’s one region in Germany. The rest is not. Actually, a few in Germany tried moving to Linux in the past and gave up, unfortunately.

This sounds like an exaggeration though.

To me it seems like these researchers are saying the switch is confusing and complicated. That is not to say that Apple secretly collect data after lying to their users.

The problem with Siri, first example, is more about Apple’s (characteristic) terminology garbage. Siri’s voice control has nothing to do with Siri’s search suggestion, yet they marketed both as Siri. Actually, you can turn them both off, but since the voice control is just called Siri, they confused their users.

That’s different from "collecting data even when supposedly disabled.

(Tbf, even if they were better termed, my mom would still manage to confuse herself… mo matter what Apple do, the average user won’t be able to turn off anything.)

That said, there’s no point trying to convince someone on the internet anyway, and so I don’t really know why I wrote this comment.

Debian-variants on cmake. When I install cmake, it installs all libraries’ cmake files without the libraries themselves. You read it right. The correct way to do this is to install only the base CMake files (Arch does this, and I guess all other distros). CMake configuration files for libraries should be packaged with the library (not CMake).

Whenever I use CMake, these distros can’t show me the supposed error message. They just pretend configuration progressed and stop at random moments because some headers are missing. You see a compiler error, see missing headers, perhaps wonder if your install is outdated. Google it, and find out through Ubuntu SO that it’s actually that a package is missing WTF. Without someone writing it on the web for all Debian packages, maybe you’d have never understood what’s wrong!

I don’t use Debian for C/C++ development anymore partially because it’s so horrible.

It’s not cheating if your usual one is Arch

I thought it was kinda wise to tie Ukraine funds with Israeli funds. Because, funding Israel was in the interest of Republicans.

It didn’t work, though. House Republicans couldn’t agree on it. Now, Bibi went way worse with genocide than the West feared, and so even Dem voters have shown strong disapproval on funding Israel (understandably so).

It’s now chaotic. I, for one, have lost track on how the Ukraine funding proposal in Congress is going now, despite me having been a donor to Ukraine for multiple times. One might even say Biden’s now doing service to Putin at this point.

I don’t disagree, but you can cite anything other than a meme.

Recently, my wife asked me how many people in total actually use the software I develop in my free time (mostly thunar).

Wait, what.

It’s like Apple syncs videos with explicit lyrics in Apple Music when you play a song.

Basically, Xi’s personal end game is North Korea-nization. He doesn’t want it, probably, but I see no other option for Xi. And that also means Russia would become NK, and thus in turn possibly also the US because of their komplomats, and then also other nations.

Micro OSes are designed for this. IFedora has one atomic OS, SUSE have two immutable OSes.

The weakness of Alpine is that anything relying on glibc probably won’t work. Yes, I know there’s glibc simulation, but that’s far from perfect.

eveninghere ,

Have you looked onto Pop OS? It combines VMs and you can delegate specific apps to a specific VM.

I tend to use Debian for VM clients because essentially all blogs assume apt-get and I hate Ubuntu.

Agreed. One flaw of autotools imho is that writes the configure script in sh. The rational was that the target system might not have other stuff installed.

However, it resulted in a machine-generated (very complex) shell script often without any comment. People also modify the generated shell script itself, because it’s committed in the project’s git repository. This is one reason why the problem explained in this blog got unnoticed.

eveninghere ,

This blog is great. I wish they did comparison with CMake or meson.

Tbf CMake does many checks like autotools does, but the advantage of Cmake is that the check will not be embedded in the project source like autotools does. It’s in the CMake program. That’s why the project source ends up leaner.

eveninghere ,

The blog says this, too, but the configure script generated by autotools can become very different depending on the autotools version. Therefore, checking the git diff for security reasons is very difficult. You get thousands of lines of diffs (in sh!) often without proper comment. The git commit message doesn’t help because the best you can understand from there is that someone used their own autotools version.

Nobody has the time to check the thousands of lines of crap in one git diff. Or maybe millions of them.

eveninghere ,

One problem the blog missed is that it becomes next to impossible to migrate a build system after some time.

Just considering autotools, configuration is written in an obscure macro language to describe the resulting sh lines.

Boost has been “migrating” to CMake from their B2 (that nobody uses) for like a decade if not more.

The blog says people should move on from autotools, but that’s an impossible solution for too many libraries at this point.

I think I won’t be able to convince you, but one could say RH is leaching on FOSS projects anyway. Well, that’s also what FOSS is about. Products people use should be open source, and this extends to business products. (And free as in freedom.)

eveninghere ,

I like that, but they forced me to use their solutions, which I didn’t appreciate. The only remote communication software they prepared was a horrible free software project that has been in maintenance mode for 20 years… I was surprised to see it compiled. The connection was horrible because it assumed ~'90s technologies.

I hope they know DMs aren’t secure on Fediverse.

Out of my 10000 notifications I ignore, there’s one message… and that’s from the LinkedIn team.

You guys still check notifications? I have Infinite Scroll of notifications I never care enough about to spend time on doing anything about.

I wondered how I replied to my friends. Then I recalled that I don’t have one.

10 years ago, my workplace forced me to use Gnome 3 (was horrible) and Wayland (was horrific then).

Since I changed my job, I’ve mostly used macOS for GUIs because PTSD.

I’ve been tired with half-ass OSes like from Synology and QNAP that won’t do the job, and wanted to explore alternatives. I appreciate your post!

So… there will be organizations that will train devs for this, and that will outright ban LLMs. I know which mine will be. Time to reconsider my job, and possibly my place of work…

Seeing my colleagues, I fear that the answer from them is “That’s the neat part, you don’t!”

Lasse Collin, the other xz maintainer, has acknowledged the backdoor (tukaani.org)

They haven’t particularly made a comment on the situation so much as acknowledged it’s happening. They seem to be going with the story that they had nothing to do with it and this is news to them. Hope to hear more from them soon so we can find out more about the situation, how and why this happened, etc....

eveninghere ,

Sorry to hear your situation. I’ve heard a similar story from a friend, where cronies bully one “colleague” after another to push that poor person to the edge. These morons climb the company’s career ladder in that way, hacking the HR evaluation. It’s truly disgusting.

eveninghere ,

Hell… As a researcher maintaining one technology on my own I feel this. This is another reason one shouldn’t do things for free. There needs to be an incentive. And professionalism in the community. Sadly, both are hard to find…

eveninghere ,

I am starting to believe that we shouldn’t rely on this type of labor product in the first place. Something as critical as OpenSSH should be (and possibly is) funded by the users and also NOT use third party libs because it’s dangerous, as this incidence showed. FOSS is free not as in beer.

eveninghere ,

I suggest you read my comment again.

eveninghere ,

Indeed, ugh, can I go on because it’s too personal to me.

My personal feeling is that the high-level management of such companies are indeed crony-ists. To this type of morons, companies are just assets that are to be cracked down and shared by their prestigious celebrity network or whatever.

Well, this is a biased view, but I’m gonna soon find out how much this applies to my employer…

eveninghere ,

Yes. I simply think I already wrote what I needed to. The answer to your question is there. I guess it takes time to see my point.

eveninghere ,

I was talking about third party dependencies, which you missed. It’s fair to say that was my poor writing, but my point still stands.

eveninghere ,

I’m not saying that they should go closed source.

Your part on using foss third-party libs also makes no sense because my theoretical assumption is that they’re not used.

Your argument bent my logic for the sake of making it weaker. Please counter my argument without altering it, and I indeed admit it’s imperfect. But that way of communication is not constructive at all.

eveninghere ,

Learn to read. Or learn logic.

eveninghere ,

Well, I can agree with many points you made. I also think that FG is overreacting.

The only thing I want to say is that Fediverse by design lets administrators choose which instances they connect to. It’s rather unfair because there’s virtually no free alternative choice to fediverse, but as we choose fediverse, disconnection is a thing. The only question is whether FG is going too far this time. And if it is, we either convince FG to retreat or build an alternative to FG.

The rules for being listed on fedi.garden will require blocking instances cited in human rights reports on genocide.

And this is their announcement on this oddly specific rule.

I mean, the wording “cited in multiple reports of massacres or genocides” is strange enough. An organization can be “cited” for doing anything. Can I write up two BS reports so that we ban any instance I don’t like? Sounds like a teenager mimicking a TV politician speak, tbh.

Fediverse should be based on a mature protocol imo.
