@sysrq@MK2boogaloo Yep, it's indeed Radiohead — OK Computer actually! I've never owned this record and only had it on CD-R — that's why I don't recongise the cover art 😀
@dcc@iska Me too. Running Android is already a huge compromise — unfortunately, no other mobile OS gives me an even remotely comparable battery life on the device I have, but I'm not running Chrome anywhere ever.
@kirby@icon_of_computational_sin@eric According to the rumours he crossed paths with some really bad Rust people. No one should make rustaceans his/her enemies! This shit is both scary and funny 🤣
@charlie_root@dcc@realman543 True, you're less vulnerable this way, but you might want to connect an external drive to it or whatnot. There were all sorts of exploits: via autorun.inf, desktop.ini and thumbs.db, remember? With Windows you never know what to expect. Keeping threats DB updated is still a good thing IMO, feature update indeed only make things worse at this point.
@romin@j I think it would be actually kinda great if they rewrote it from scratch keeping the binary compatibility — as Drew originally suggested (already backtracked on it). Problem is, the crowd which likes "facing the toxicity head on" most likely never intended to write any code — most of them anyway. Putting effort into that might show dedication — demonstrate everyone that they won't abandon it as they often do, which in turn might make some of the Linux maintainers reconsider.
@romin@j In this particular case there are no good guys, this is a reference case of shit prevailing over the piss. Linux kernel is an absolute clusterfuck — all things considered, it's kinda surprising it works at all, that is precisely why it's insanely hard to maintain in this state. The cons of Linux kernel are… legacy code, the pros… also legacy code. There are zero good things about it.
@romin@j But again — that is unlikely to happen as most of them are incapable of cooperation (demonstrating the intent by putting words into action to convince others is a huge part of that), and are incapable of writing any code — not everyone, but those who can code are most often surrounded by their "fan club", those who only make matters worse.
NoneJust in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
