AUR is an effectively unmoderated user repo. It’s not Arch Linux’s core repository, nor is it enabled by default or indeed even possible to use without manual downloads from outsid…

Unfortunately the third world will suffer the most from climate change. They do indeed already suffer (I’m from Africa originally myself) but emissions have to be reversed , not si…

It’s anxiety about tipping points more than conspiracy theories. If you look at the figures in the various scenarios without even factoring them in: hundreds of millions to billion…

I’m not a booster by any stretch but I had a more positive read. To me it seems to describe a post scarcity society where ultimately the data centres are in e.g. the middle of the …

All of those commits except the initial integration are from after the acquisition. How do we know this wasn’t done without anyone on the call’s knowledge?

He’s an active, donating supporter of the far right in at least America and the UK. He speaks at political rallies?? Are you joking?

My experience as a student has always been that most of the class will cheat given the chance. I remember in high school being one of maybe a dozen in a grade of over 200 who actua…

Sure, reasonably well at first glance, but to quote the article: > I rewrote Bun in Rust using about 50 dynamic workflows in Claude Code run continuously over the course of 11 days…

People say a lot of things, especially when they have a vested interest in a positive outcome. Bun has been fully vibe coded into another language. There’s no way in hell it’s main…

It’s illegal which is why when a government does it they either classify it or farm it out to an ally. Have you read any of what Snowden leaked?

People have been convinced by energy company propaganda that solar still needs a trick or selling point other than protecting the environment. There’s widespread disinformation abo…

A lot of that is natively well supported on Linux now, especially for slightly older MSI laptops. I’d recommend trying out Fedora Kinoite if you’re used to Windows.

Posturing and pedantry like this doesn’t change the fact that the nature of exploitation is more important than its mere existence. I’m not sure what you’re trying to achieve with …

Yes if we follow the logic that exploiting an organism is universally unethical it leads to a ridiculous conclusion. Maybe it would be more precise to call it a slippery slope but …

This argument is called reductio ad absurdum. It’s often used by people like you who want to prevent others from trying to be better.

> Do you know how their human rights violations compare to, say, western nations? You have to be joking

My home country has a population that’s too big for the economy, so most people live in squatter camps and build homes out of scrap wood and sheet metal. The government provides pu…

Free software isn’t a product

What is it about the US you enjoy so? As someone who migrated to Europe from another country (and has never had the privilege of visiting the states) I can certainly think of ways …

It would be toxic in that environment but I’ve never personally been lucky enough to work at an outfit like that, so I find it difficult to believe the reactive version isn’t more …

This reads like an avocado toast critique. Businesses which respect their staff, particularly junior staff, are few and far in between. Why should anyone not “silently quit” when t…

The reality is that it’s not possible to learn if one offloads the work itself to an LLM

My friend that is what the whites were doing on a national level before the election of 1994. You seem to still be catching up to what they realised 32 years ago.

You are missing the forest for the trees my friend

My boss decreed the other day that we’re all to start maximising our use of agents, and then set an accordingly ambitious deadline for the current project. I explained that being r…
