I also dont like videos for this stuff. Summarized using kagi's universal summarizer, sharing here:

  • The integration of Rust into the Linux kernel has been a contentious topic, with some long-term maintainers resisting the changes required for memory-safe Rust code.
  • The debate over Rust vs. C in the Linux kernel has taken on "almost religious overtones" in certain areas, reflecting the differing design philosophies and expectations.
  • Linus Torvalds sees the Rust discussion as a positive thing, as it has "livened up some of the discussions" and shows how much people care about the kernel.
  • Not everyone in the kernel community understands everything about the kernel, and specialization is common - some focus on drivers, others on architectures, filesystems, etc. The same is true for Rust and C.
  • Linus does not think the Rust integration is a failure, as it's still early, and even if it were, that's how the community learns and improves.
  • The challenge is that Rust's memory-safe architecture requires changes to the existing infrastructure, which some long-time maintainers, like the DRM subsystem people, are resistant to.
  • The Linux kernel has developed a lot of its own memory safety infrastructure over time for C, which has allowed incremental changes, whereas the Rust changes are more "in your face."
  • Despite the struggles with Rust integration, Linus believes Linux is so widely used and entrenched that alternative "bottom-up grown-up from the start Rust kernels" are unlikely to displace it.
  • Linus sees the embedded/IoT space as an area where alternative kernels built around different languages like Rust may emerge, but does not see Linux losing its dominance as a general-purpose OS.
  • Overall, Linus views the Rust debate as a positive sign of the community's passion and an opportunity to learn, even if the integration process is challenging.

is it not relatively trivial to pre-vet content before they train it? at least with aigen text it should be.

lol, when I first started playing around with programming around grade 6 or 7, I'd print out code to read it

FYI: RClone added proton drive support. just synced a 220gb borg archive over last week.

Basically looking for an open source alternative to google my maps, to plan out trips or share recommendations with friends.

I've tried using uMap (OSM) for mexico city, but it has a lot of missing or outdated data.

Sweet!

I havent been following the news for a while, has proton drive exposed an API or an SDK to allow for rclone support?

Please say yes, I've been wanting this for years.

Edit: omg no way! https://rclone.org/protondrive/

Y'all should check out twitch streamlink gui, or other alternate front ends, regardless. https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui

[-] mac@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Well both of those reddit alternative frontends used the api. Piped scrapes the pages and gets the stream url, similar to teddit, which still works.

A lottt of restaurants in socal do this, unfortunately. I've never seen it this high, though.

I self host a server. It works on my laptop and android. I like it, but some of the suggestions are bad.

Haven't used grammarly in years, so I can't compare.

Hi, all!

Aurora has mainly been rendered useless to me, since they started banning/ratelimiting a lot of the accounts in use on that platform.

I mainly stick to FOSS apps, but for instances where that isnt feasible, it was nice to be able to fall back on aurora store.

Any suggestions?

When I was using Librewolf, it seemed to lag behind on updates, which is a non-negotiable for me.

I now run FF with arkenfox user.js, so youget updates right as they are released

Wild that it's legal for a full on company to publically request free work.

Shit, a majority of interns are paid.

[-] mac@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that this is implemented on the server side as of yet.
