  1. It would be great that he no longer backed up that project. I know I wouldn't. A breach of trust is a breach of trust.

  2. Those are not developers. The developers were kicked out.

  3. I see a pattern: they attack projects that can be the core of other projects (programming languages, kernels, DEs) or that provide a way to people to be free or educate themselves (browsers, web platforms). The pattern is clear, and the purpose too. It is all about control.

  5. If I had a bot correcting me, I would write: "Don't you know that you shouldn't interrupt people and keep your suggestions to yourself? So, shut up!". And then I would continue using the word "guys".

  6. It is a stupid move, really. Politicians doing what they do best: destroying what works.

  7. They will go broke. Nonetheless, stop funding them will always serve a better purpose: not funding our enemy.

  8. Of course a cockroach like that hides himself from the light of scrutiny, because he has no spine and his argument does not hold any water. Great job on doing detective work. Kudos!

  9. And that is the objective. Centralize control. If any content is legal or not, they don't care, as long as it is not against THE MESSAGE.

  10.  @techpriest4787  The language is judged by the actions of whoever is pulling the shots. Because Rust is declared to be political by its own foundation, we can no longer separate the political from the technical concerning Rust. Best to use a language that only deals with technical aspects. In fact, their objective of converting everything C and C++ to Rust is a political power move, because it has no technical basis. There is no justification whatsoever, even on the basis of safety, when C and C++ has tools to deal with memory leakage, and the issue is a non-issue.

  11. The CoC "thing" does not need to be redone. It needs to be completely demolished.

  12. One thing, for sure, is that Linux is already turning into mush (Linus, on the other hand, is already mush, BTW). Now, some programs in my computer will freeze after a completely unrelated kernel update is done. I have to restart. Some of these programs were done by myself, but they used to work flawlessly until recently. And it is impossible to debug this behavior because it is a hang and not a crash.

  13. ​ @LasagaMan  Anything Rust free is great. Not only it doesn't have that ugly brown color, but also you don't need to spend extra effort on moving it and also it won't make a squealing sound, or worse, seize completely. It will roll smoothly as butter instead.

  14. Does mommy have blue hair?

  15. They have a "social contract". Between them and who, I don't know.

  16. Leaking memory might not be memory safe. When an application does not bother to "clean after itself" by properly releasing memory, it increases the attack surface.

  17. Basically, the cult of Scientology of programming languages.

  18.  @200milesaway6  Rust will not work for systems development. It is just crazy to even consider Rust for a kernel.

  19. ​ @SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648  You are also preaching out of pride, when God asks us to be humble.

  20. Python is pretty much on its apex. It will decline.

  21.  @neilpatrickhairless  Well, at least he said the truth. And he never said he did earn it. But surely those DEI guys didn't earn it. At most, they took it.

  22. I don't remember C, or C++, being a religion, or having fanatical people, although I believe fanaticism exists everywhere. But with Python and Rust, it is common to encounter people defending their languages as if there was no tomorrow.

  23.  @schrenk-d  "The system is more fair because rich people are also subject to it". Funny. The same with taxes, but that doesn't mean taxes are fair. That is completely debased thinking.

  24. Good point!
    6
  25. Yup. Predictable of them.

  26. It will speak directly to Satan.

  27. Piracy preserving feature is a more adequate name. Basically, looting user generated data.

  28. Pineapple on pizza is horrific and the perversion of an Italian staple. As for Wordpress, clearly we are dealing with adults that have a child mentality.

  29.  @neilpatrickhairless  Yes, people that are being robbed do get mad. Go figure why.

  30. I support the view that legacy code should not be ported to Rust. Basically, all C devs are being ousted. Also, they forget that many devs are voluntary, so if they want to force existing devs to either learn Rust or help, they are basically showing them the door. There is no contractual obligaton, and even if it was, money involved and all, it would reason enough to exit as it breaks contract. Also, Rust is a cult and I'm more than unwelcome there. It is not the language for me, because I don't like to follow very strict rules, languages that have some form of GC, or languages that are ever changing. C and C++ are well established, and you don't have to use the latest standard . TLDR: Linux is turning into a sh*tshow, and Rust is a cult that I wish to keep distance from. A new kernel is needed, since Linus is getting as woke as a soybean.

  31. Two words that should never be used together: "sexuality" and "children".

  32. Me too, and I use terms like "master/slave", "dummy load", etc.

  33. What is a "online culture", and what is an "in-person culture"? Does this has to do with the term "company culture", where the word "culture" is abused?
    4
  34. That would be another cancer.

  35. Of course they are proud. That's why pride is a sin.

  36. Yup!

  37. Andreas Kling is a genius. As a programmer, I don't even reach his feet soles. I really don't admit that guys that are not even programmers think they have the right to try to derail and take over his project. This kind of project is not possible without Andreas.

  38.  @_PatrickO  Meanwhile Facebook harbors such content and nothing happens. Since Telegram is encrypted point-to-point, it is impossible to know what content is there, even by the admins. On the other hand, Facebook knows what content is there and is complicit.

  39. ​ @NewtrendsMe  Yes, that Recall.

  40. I must say that Linus must have a room temperature IQ, besides being an invertebrate. Letting a crucial dev go is really a stupid decision. Enrico Weigelt was basically a crucial developer of Xorg, from what I read. This is a prime example of why politics are stupid, so as politicians. The Linux kernel is now a politically driven project, and it is no better than Rust at this point. Completely unreliable, worse by the year. I feel betrayed and my trust is completely broken. I'll have to find an alternative to Linux altogether, not just pulsaudio or systemd. Or perhaps just delete the ppas for Linux, as I no longer want updates.

  41. Yup. My take on it as well. The System76 guy was being reactive to a bad situation, instead of active in a bad situation. Completely different situation there.

  42. This seems to be an ever growing trend to me.

  43. Exactly. Any political discussion doesn't belong in a tech forum. And for anyone that thinks everything is political: please, don't.

  44. Me too, unless I have a desire of having my computer no longer booting because of something that I said or wrote.

  45. And that, folks, is where our donations end up. Not on new servers as they claim.

  46. So, since Rust has already failed, they are now aiming to destroy C++. This is clearly the same group. A standards committee should not bend their knee because of political issues.

  47. It seems that the very definition of "open" flew above their heads. They didn't get the memo.

  48. Hard to believe, because even SNL is woke. Unless it was a sketch from the pre-woke era, but even at that, SNL sketches were pretty soft. Anyway, banning one of their best and most commited devs just for that is akin to shooting oneself on the head. And how a COCky group is far more important than a core dev?

  49. Obama is the extremist here, clearly.

  50. I see two problems: executive order 14071 is incompatible with the GPL by its very nature and Linux Kernel cannot be considered software made in USA, just because a great slice of the devs are from there. Linus Torvalds is Finnish, and if Linus decided to remove his own contributions, you wouldn't have a kernel. Stupid move from Biden, who clearly doesn't know how FOSS works.
