@ariadne @dysfun it also replaced ... CORBA. and I don't think anyone missed CORBA.

OH: "arch is full of stupid manual labour because all the maintainers are 17. debian is full of stupid manual labour because some of the maintainers are massive boomers."

"the horseshoe theory of linux packaging"

@mamus no, that is Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla is a maze.

@mamus the reason we're having a discussion about the thing at all is because a fascist brought it up because he's mad for really really bad reasons. should fascists being mad be given that narrative power?

analogy: you have a bunch of oil companies clubbing baby seals. one of them is clubbing 10 times as many seals as the next but a fascist writes an article about the one clubbing half as many as average because they have a rainbow logo, drumming up a bunch of outrage at that one.

@diazona This information being publicized right now is on an agenda to destroy Mozilla for treating their trans employees like human beings. It's selective publicizing of truthful information to achieve an objective.

Consider for example: your choice of evil corporation (Microsoft or whatever) goes and publishes attack ads showing a bunch of crash bugs in Linux, saying "switch to our stuff because it's more reliable". The bugs are real, but you wouldn't have cared without the publicity.

@diazona The part you are missing here is the timeliness of the information and the set of information. We absolutely must not allow these to be controlled by fascists.

It's the same reason fascists making coordinated reports of posts must be ignored even if legitimate: they are setting the narrative and they are still *giving power to fascists*.

Why is this information being presented *right now* rather than another time? What does it *aim to achieve*?

I really really don't want to link to receipts because they are vile and he doesn't deserve your energy. He has a second much more vile website on a different subdomain where you can find plenty of mask off fascism.

Mastodon #psa: there's a post going around about #mozilla #firefox and the salary of the Mozilla Corporation CEO. This post is based on a blog post written by an openly transphobic fascist, Brian Lunduke, who has a beef with Mozilla for them treating trans employees like human beings.

It doesn't matter how true the material is; we must not take decisions based on information collated with such motives.

This is a moderation issue and it should be taken down but it's already been seen a lot.

@thephd also the terrible c packaging problems are only 80% c packaging problems; the real issue there is the crap can be built by any build system, making interop and dependency declaration hard which *actually* implies this is simply a large software problem and not a c problem

any sufficiently complex software will have a fucked up build process

the latest @notjustbikes video exactly matches my experience going to Montreal: at every corner you run into an absolute atrocity of urban planning: from 40 second fixed timers on traffic signals to highways at random street corners, from the bus ticketing that doesn't allow interrupting trips to the buses that get stuck in traffic,

bro what the fuck is this place

I live in Vancouver, and the bike infrastructure here is a trashfire, the intercity rail is bested by a bus and still wtf is this.

@Lunaphied i have such a cable that is supposedly 3.0. the thing that's really annoying is that our docks have no downstream type c at all! so if we want ethernet we can't have yubikey.

i want an adapter that works only on my yubikey that plugs it into a type a port. it's very illegal but idc.

@corbet @marcan

I think it is reasonable to object to "from outside". marcan is literally a seasoned kernel maintainer. I don't think he needs to be explained what the scale of kernel dev is.

This is a meaningless non-defense of the status quo.

For example, what if there was a forge using open software for each subsystem? You could then integrate whatever tooling you'd like with it.

Bram (rip) made an email based workflow on top of GitHub for vim e.g.. It can be done.
