I’m just happy my boi nix got a shoutout.
I love having a packages file and a lock file, both user-specific rather than system-wide, offering reproducibility, stability and a good, central place where I can see what I did to debug.
Programmer by day, burnt out by night.

Nobody said anything about the init system, though.
If anything, I think it’s people used to Windows or macOS that don’t want anything to change that tend to hate Linux systems; it’s not exactly Windows/macOS (and doesn’t run exactly the MS Office and Adobe suits) so they hate it.
Well to be fair, regulations like these don’t get added for things people don’t do.

That reads sus. Like “Trust me bro” in nicer words.
That doesn’t help with all the different Lemmy instances, but searching on a Lemmy instance does… Well, the search function is janky so it works kinda, but it searches a lot of Lemmy instances alright!
And that one needs a continuation of the story and lore, unlike GTA…
Half Life 3 not coming out was a joke before Duke Nukem Forever
Good to know kids have been scarred with fake feces since the 90’s!
Nintendo Switch 2 getting more details, and knowing Nintendo probably a release date within a short time span, is true.
For one, April 1st has always been a date to make big announcements in Japan, not one for jokes. Nintendo just learned to move that one day for westerners (:
I mean, Google announcing a Möbius-shaped keyboard would still be a good April 1st joke, “obviously fake news” from a news source wouldn’t be because it’s not obvious, anymore.
I’ve seen the Tiktoks a million times, yes.
Light hearted pranks are still great for April 1st!
Often news sources make sure anything that could make their news source look bad, like controversial topics, are someone else’s exact words that they quote so you can’t be mad at them for calling it a “war crime”…
What power?
To add to @ParetoOptimalDev@lemmy.today
The uutils are MIT licensed, simply put it means “do whatever you want with it, as long as you credit us”.
The coreutils are GPL, simply put “do whatever you want with it but only in other GPL works, also credit us”.
The coreutils make sure forks will also be open source.
While the uutils aren’t closed source, they do allow you to make closed source forks.
The uutils’ license is too permissive.
I don’t mind using it for larger teams, it can be great for organised communication such as dev teams!
But it shouldn’t replace documentation.
(Also, Discord itself is a proprietary, censoring telemetry wasp nest, your FOSS dev team shouldn’t be organised in it but Matrix, XMPP, IRC channels or something else open.)
Likely not anytime soon as they tend to hold off latest features and prefer older (but maintained) LTS versions of just about everything. Also especially not if it turns out to be a bad idea; they explicitly build Mint without Snaps since their inclusion in the Ubuntu base.
Mainly memory safety; split
(which is also used for other programs like sort
) had a memory heap overflow issue last year to name one.
The GNU Coreutils are well tested and very well written, the entire suite of programs has a CVE only once every few years from what I can see, but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.
That said, Rust also handles parallelism and concurrency much better than C ever could, though most of these programs don’t really benefit from that or not much since they already handled this quite well, especially for C programs.
uutils/Linux?
That’s so true, I was missing this part! With homebrew you’re at the mercy of whoever put the package out there, much like with installers (and nix to be fair)
LMAO no‽ Flatpaks can be verified, and you can choose not to install unverified flatpaks (which you should!) They are also containerised pretty well by default, in case they’re malicious!
