Why is that better?

1980s called, they want their slang back.

Apple has been shit since 2004. Good to know

Description lists?

Richtext? Like this or this ?

SVG handling? I’ve never seen a manpage with SVGs nor have I seen a manpage with images, much less image captions.

I’ll never understand why these guys aren’t on the fediverse. They could put all their videos on peertube and it would be much easier to engage with.

CrApple users exist that understand crApple is a surveillance platform? That’s impressive. Most users seem to be so entranced by the marketing, shiny gadgets, and shiny symbols that they don’t want to know what’s happening underneath.

How should strings be terminated? Should they always be a tuple of length in bytes and data?

Dumb, ignorant people voting for dumb, ignorant people gets you dumb, ignorant people at the top. What a surprise!

If the well is full of shit, you’ll only be pulling shit to the top.

Groff is indeed such a crap format to write documentation in. It nearly reads like zalgo.

I can’t wait for the anti markdown people to come out of the woodwork though and complain that it’s “the progressivist agenda” to be more user friendly because devs aren’t users.

“If you can’t write Groff, maybe you dont deserve to read the output”

“The markdown evangelists are so annoying. You can’t just rewrite everything in markdown”

“When will this markdown craze stop??? I can’t hear it anymore!”

Identity politics entered the developer arena.

Lemmy is so heave that @[email protected] replaced his lemmy instance with a piefed instance and it’s using less resources. I like Rust, but like every tool, it has to be used properly.

That’s the one. Thanks.

Qualcomm should embrace Linux instead of relying on Microsoft. Valve recognized that in at least 2012. Who knows how long it will take Qualcomm to wake up.

People are starting to leave Windows. Windows 11 on ARM is not going to be a good experience and who will want all the AI crap slowing down a gaming rig? People won’t be able to install Windows 10 on the new ARM devices so the most likely option will be Linux with either SteamOS, Bazzite or something else that can run Steam.

Valve has also been investing in running x86_64 on ARM (can’t remember the name of the project) and even going to use it in the Steam Frame. It will run on Linux, not windows. Ignoring Linux is going to be idiotic if Qualcomm wants to be appealing to gamers.

Pushover licenses show how much influence big tech companies have over opensource. It’s in their interest of promote these licenses.

159 C CVEs released on the same day BTW.

Looks like I’ll be checking that out.

We all have limits. For some communicating with those who tolerate genocide is alright, for others using their software is fine, and for even others they will happily give money to them à la “it’s not me, so why should I care?”. But if the number of people who don’t care is not enough to sustain that software development, it will have an effect. We can wait to see if we get that far or do something about it.

I’ll check out Piefed and Mbin as that seems to be most common answer here.

I write opensource software, I donate to opensource, I use opensource. I however can’t do everything. That is why the question is “we” not “hey @[email protected] why don’t you make a fork, you lazy bastard”. Code is not the only way to contribute to a project and I’m willing to donate to lemmy alternatives while it is still possible for me.

Piefed might be where I start donating. Gotta check it out first.

OK, let’s say somebody who hates you to the core and wants to see you dead made software you found great. All they said was stuff like “I think your kind deserves to be shot”, “your kind are subhuman”, “they hung your kind and I see nothing wrong with that”.

Would you use their software? Would you enjoy being part of the numbers that they use to validate getting money, maybe even power? Would you publicly promote their software? Would you get others to use it? Would you even donate to them? Would you get others to donate to them?

I’ll check it out. Thanks.

OK, thanks. I guess I’ll be migrating to those and setting up a donation - if they don’t use Github sponsors.
