@Suiseiseki because it's not. far from that. OS is Linux. it deals with all the hardware and does all unseen but important system tasks, there're also user layer software that is often written by GNU and other developers. and useless-d is just like a cancer tumor that penetrated into all user layer sybsystems with its metastases and devours and undermines the software from inside. it could be really easy to get rid of it at early stages and some distributives did this at once. but after letting it grow some ones came to a point that removing of the tumor will be very difficult and painful operation, with heavy patching of nearly everything, -

@SuperDicq nothing. people always wrote open source and one does not need whistles and bells, any declarations and licenses to write code and share it, if he wants. that's a purely personal decision, not anything of a sect kind.
but to write a code one should know how to do it. and this is the most important factor in software.
I think FSF could pay less attention to that SJW buffons and do what they should do: maintain the code and keep idiots out of it because iudiots are dangerous in any development. -

@SuperDicq they already got infected with SJW and stomped into that COC BS and so on. they should get rid of that all and turn back to code quality and free software licensing. that's all that is really necessary. and all social wars should be kept out of code development. because they only ruin the thing and create problems out of a thin air. that's buffoonary and they should stop praying it. -

@SuperDicq softeare freedom has nothing to do with any social/personal issues. it's about licensing and has nothing to do with developers personalities, preferences and so on.
and you want to "defend" people. but from what? nobody gives a shit. really. that was SJW that attacked somebody. developers never did such senseless crap ever. -

@SuperDicq I could never get that dragging social BS into programming. software (open, non-open or whatever) - it's about the code, dudes! it's just the code an nothing else. and nobody cares who you are, how you look like, what you may like or dislike, etc, while you write accurate, fine working code. that's all about development. people get into senseless batalies but forget to turn on their brains and produce shitware instead of fine code. I think, the only criteria for opensource is the ability to create proper, accurate, optimal working code and nothing else. -

@clacke in modern Russian gymnasium (or liceum) means advanced (and usually paid) kind of school with more qualified education and/or special emphasis in something (music, foreign languages, etc). and gymnastics hall means a place for physical training of a kind. in old pre-soviet times gymnasium was a kind of education between school and universities. something like college. -

@bonifartius FSF cancelled RMS for some stupid crap that I cannot even describe with normal human words. that's worse than sick. they stomped into woke shit and I don't participate into such games. no way.
and then... look at what free software turns into nowadays. it turns to total crap. because they try to include idiots into development and trash down code base with some kids scripts. I really hate this. no way I ever participate in such things.
I stand for professional qualified suckless optimized serious software in open source, not for stupid bullshit that devours resources. I'm "show me your code" person and absolutely sure programming takes brains, education, knowledge and experience, and no fucking COCs. -

@bonifartius that was alsways like that. that's why I never trust any NGOs. they all are designed for extorting money from people - via taxes or via donations, whatever. and they all are liars and corrupted cons. -

@freemo disrespecting a country (hating all people for their nation, language and geographic location) is plain xenophobia and/or racism. some people think it is fine. I have another opinion. xenophobia is an excellent base for fascism. -

@realcaseyrollins simply: they killed people in their own countries and who cares?
putler killed more people in Russia than in Ukraine but nobody gave a shit before he went into killing spree abroad. -

@icedquinn @bonifartius I mean normal IETF RFC protocols, designed by serious engineers. not handcraft by amateurs. ActivityPub is also terrible, because is's just raw and undefined for the most critical cases. but tox is ok, it's well designed and works just fine. -

@icedquinn @bonifartius the most protocols are fine. just people are stupid hiseters sometimes and donàt have enough brain to work with them. -

@lxo @badnetmask yes, they are. update feature was always there, from the first AP protocol description. just stupid Mastodon realization ignored the protocol in many aspects and this caused strange effects with editing posts when users on other platforms edited posts and Mastodon didn't see changes. it was one of the last platforms that normally implemented updating (editing). -

@neil I'm not that young, but far from grey still. sometimes I think about it, but when I see all that BS about "inclusive pronouns", cocks in open projects. etc I get sick and definitely don't wanna step into this all. no way. if it was about code quality, hunting down complicated quirks and bugs, making software better and more stable, doing hardcore optimization and so on I could help. I have over 30 years of C/C++ development of network server software and hardware, real-time and high-load things. but I can't stand at python and keep strict suckless priniciples in software. if FOSS needs a serious developer that won't cancel RMS or somebody else for their look, or speech, for personal opinions or whatwever - I can help. but if they're sick leftists busy with changing logo "to show more community something" like Apache does at the moment - this is not my cup of shit. I don't play that gwmes. I'm all about "show me your code" principle, really interested in making software fast and robust. but I'm totally not interested in socializing, banging around with non code-related issues and writing shitware. I cannot stand enshittification that happens all around. I'm purist and that's it. -

@lxo and yes, they try to impose SaaS even to CPU! they want users to pay to them endlessly. for "unlocking" CPU features. but why, the hell, features of CPU might be locked from an user that has bought it and have already paid? that's really weird. and that what should be stopped by all means. -

@ariadne @jschwart @kate and RISC chips are totally different from general CPU. they have their niche in RTOS and embedded devices. but barely can substitute the robust processors that are used on high load tasks. and this world has really many heavy computational tasks that cannot be performed with simple and light processors.
we're in a dead end of a kind. we need a mighty single cores. instead, we get hundreds of tiny weak cores with dim and errors prone bus sychronization. and the very orgranization of modern development process is absolutely sick and is not intended for quality output. -

@ariadne @jschwart @kate theoretically :)
the devil is in the details.
I think it's not the problem of development per se. it's the problem of the system that pushes the unfinished projects to the market. they impose impossible deadlines to developers and then get botched production. the thing that changed is not the complexity of technologies. but the process of normal development, that implies designing, testing and debugging. the past two may repeat again and again, until it works stable and fine. but nobody is interested in stable and fine hardware. they sell BS because they get more money from selling BS. they push new and more bugggy chips on market and make more profit from every bug they cannot fix. -

@ariadne @jschwart @kate the problem is that fixing hardware design fuckups with microcode crutches is wrong in its root.
and the most problems they discover and try to patch are hardware architecture related ones.
sometimes they have to go down to software level and "fix" compilers code generation, etc to skip buggy instructions. and this is perfectly wrong way. -

@ariadne @jschwart @kate updating microcode is a big thing. it may
- introduce new vulnerabilities
- significantly slow down performance
- have inlaid backdoors for vendor
and not all vulnerabilities are exploitable in every particular case. sometimes the use case of CPU excludes the possible attacks and performance is more important than some fast and dirty fix.
of course, this all does not lift the fact that CPU must be designed and tested more carefully to avoid such BS we see more and more often nowadays. the problem is aggressive and idiotic management that forces engineers to throw semi-raw products to the market. nobody cares for quality and security. users pay for some cat in a bag that may have absolutely broken performance after a serie of skew firmware workarounds for CPU architecture errors. -
