did they release a changelog?

i don’t get it

what’s the issue?

ever heard of friends? i never claimed it was a generalized phenomenon

good response, but the last part feels a little circular reasoning

linux contributors live mostly in nato countries, so we have no choice but to push people from non-aligned countries away, which will prevent people from non-nato countries from joining, which will make most contributors be from nato countries

as someone said, people who were removed from the list can still contribute, i think, but this might lead to a situation where technology sovereignty will mean using your own regional linux fork

i did test ghostbsd earlier today, actually. i liked it, it felt pretty solid. also, from reading the docs, freebsd gave me the impression of being a very solid system as well

but again, the permissive licensing puts me off, and i don’t see what it offers over e.g. debian that makes up for it

lmao, it was just an honest question. people are too sensitive

brazilian linux fork when?

honestly, i’m not even sure i’d blame him. who knows what kind of pressure he’s getting behind closed doors

my understanding was that the kernel didn’t publicly state any specific reason, but “complying to sanctions” semms like a safe bet to me

in any case, whatever the reason, this removal is unfortunate and uncalled for

YUP

so… maybe nobody should be banned and it sucks that this happened?

there is simply no meaningful response to this

no matter whether you think russia is justified in invading ukraine or not, if russians get banned from the kernel bc russia invaded ukraine, yankees have to get the boot as well

the ubuntu machines at work are nearly unusable bc snaps don’t play well with our intranet setup and it just so happens that ubuntu thought it would be a brilliant idea to make firefox, the default browser, a snap

slack is also a snap so the support team had to install it by hand so that we don’t get locked out of work meetings while at the office

this sucks so much bc ubuntu is basically the first distro that comes to mind when ppl think “linux”, so it shouldn’t make us deal with this kind of bullshit. i wish they went back to the days where ubuntu was just a boring repackaged debian

sorted by controversial and found this post. why? this is amazing

cool article

which makes me wonder why there are people who still avoid systemd. i get that alpine can’t use glibc, but what about everyone else? i just see vague statements about systemd being “too big” or going “against unix philosophy”, but never concrete disadvantages of systemd compared to other pid-1s

edit: also, i wonder how viable would it be to port systemd to musl or whatever alpine uses so that they can take advantage of it

we all have our most wanted missing features but if i’m being honest i don’t see how session saving should take priority over e.g. rendering protocols

not a wayland dev but: patches welcome

sadly, the web has become so complex and it changes so fast that it’s now almost impossible to keep up with the standard, so only google and mozilla are able to do it

thanks google!

“this week in plasma: core plasma shell rewritten in typescript and electron”

systemd is a system daemon, not an init system

also, why should applications avoid depending on useful features?
