@uncouple9831 That’s how my Mastodon client works. You asked, “Why would they be reviewing code?” I gave you the answer.
Recreational maths and computing, sci-fi reading and writing, appreciation of fine art and planet Earth.
Avatar AltText: disc-shaped spacecraft hurtling flat-ways through space, accommodation blocks crowd the front face, a particle accelerator ring runs around the circumference, with back-firing rocket motors appearing at intervals around the ring.

@uncouple9831 @imecth Because they care. Quaint old concept, I know…


@Scoopta @cm0002 The point is that if everything was open Linux support would be so much better as we would understand the working of the hardware so much better, and we should do everything we can to discourage manufacturers from adopting this stance. FOSS has the great benefit that anyone in the world can improve it, and then share their improvements with everyone else. That makes a better world. Just better.
@imecth @TheMilk @salacious_coaster @who This #linux bot which boosts everything linux is its own worst enemy, isn’t it?


@yessikg @King @pressedhams It also tries a bit harder to look superficially like Windows.


@hopesdead He probably wants to smash Data’s head in as that chair used to be his (see S01E01).

@csantosb Them web pages which force you to tear the tab off the browser into its own window, so that you can resize it to make the text palatable…


@passepartout
Perhaps if AI were explicitly asked to write code in pidgin English (specifically something which is not meant to be compilable), and then that was used as the basis of actual code development?
@cm0002
@unknowing8343 @Custodian6718 Generally speaking not my opinion.
@thingsiplay @Sunshine That’s the most banal post I’ve read this year.


@Max_P @stewie410 This is just wrong. Taking a stand against things like this causes change for the better in the long run. Rails will survive without DHH, like Linux survived without Reiserfs and MySQL survived after Larry Ellison. There may be some pain involved, but we owe it to ourselves to tread the better path, and make bad people just socially unacceptable.
@csantosb Is this really the recommended way to run Rust? Rather than the one which Guix provides directly?


@slazer2au @Shadow_Glider And have you ever even tried Guix? Not systemd…

@csantosb Should point out that the script is also blind to use of ‘guix shell’. I’ve stopped using that for this reason…


@Aatube Your web site seems to have an SSL problem.


@DmMacniel @melroy It is only political because politicians are conflicted: they make money joining boards of walled-garden firms, and owning stocks in such entities. Take that away and open source would be a no-brainer.
@DarrinBrunner @cm0002 You should look at the file manager’s About dialog off the menu, and see if there are contact details for the developers. You can send them a message asking for new features…
If there are no contact details there (unfortunately there are reasons we can’t have all the good things in this horrible world) then you will need to search for the project’s home page, and see if you can make contact through that.
Generally speaking, developers like this sort of feedback.
