The most confusing thing is that Drew posted about a way better solution just 3 days before: https://drewdevault.com/2026/03/25/2026-03-25-Forking-vim.html
Why not fork rsync? Why suggest replacing it with tar, ignoring the single most important feature of rsync (you know, the 'sync' part)?
This reads like a joke posted a few days too early to be an April fools.

2026-04-08 22:57:40 UTC

I would expect the anti-AI crowd to have a bit more self respect and not come up with half-assed, terrible solutions like this: https://drewdevault.com/2026/03/28/2026-03-28-rsync-without-rsync.html
This is just appalling. If this is how they are going to avoid any AI tainted code base, I just feel sad for them.

2026-03-09 23:32:10 UTC

It's becoming very clear to me that anti-AI people are here to point fingers and trying to shame people but not have a conversation.
There are a lot of things to discuss. There's a lot of pressure to put on companies and governments alike. There are tons of issues and bullshit in that space...
But I am not to be shamed by people I don't know and who have never helped me with anything in life.

Valve when they do things that save them money:
"Small patch instead of big download, but we apply the patch with 20% on 1 CPU core 🥺" (takes longer than a 60GB download)
"Let us transfer your game files from the computer next to you .... at 5% of your LAN speed 🥱 " (local transfer 10x slower than downloading from the internet)

Recently, I've seen a bunch of references to fascist Linux Youtubers following the X11 removal drama and it seems yall are hell bent on not naming names.
My Youtube watch history mostly consists of cooking, house and dance music, grindcore, LEGO, Minecraft, anti-Trump political commentary and some retro computing. So I'm out of the loop on this one.
Is it Lunduke? Is he still on Youtube? From what I've seen there seems to be more than one. Why the need to keep them anonymous?

@nprofile…t9h5 The Fall is about a guy (Lee Pace ❤️) telling stories to a girl in a hospital about a fantasy world.
The Cell is Jennier Lopez being a therapist who can enter people's mind wearing a special suit who is hired by the FBI to track down a killer.
Both are great

2025-05-22 04:10:37 UTC

I recently rewatched The Cell and realized it was directed by Tarsem Singh who also did The Fall. Both movies are visually striking. The costumes are so good!!
His filmography is sadly very small but that gives me a chance to check out everything else he has made.

Doom The Dark Ages runs nicely if you have a Nvidia GPU. Tested on Playtron GameOS.
It also runs on the Steam Deck with SteamOS Preview, it's fairly playable at 30fps @ 720p
On Nobara 42 with AMD GPU, the game crashes during the Bethesda logo. It's fairly usual for id Software games to require Mesa patches and this time it's the same. But the patch seems to be already in SteamOS so I'm hoping it will be merged in Nobara soon.

@nprofile…mqwa are they only consumers though? Without the support of the studios, Linux users are their own support, they find solutions, they help the whole platform improve.
Mesa, Vulkan, controller support have massively improved over the past few years and those improvements only benefit Windows games for the most part.
Game devs (well mostly publisher) only care about shipping on a platform where they will sell. Maybe Linux will become a 1st class target if it gains enough traction.

2025-05-08 07:37:34 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…mqwa it's not a matter of respect, game devs can't help users on a platform they don't target or use.
Most studios are aware of the Steam Deck / Proton and know their game will run if it doesn't do weird things.
Linux users should still approach Proton / Mesa devs before contacting game studios, that's how games get fixed nowadays.
Is it unhealthy to have games that are not directly supported by their creators if Linux is already doing a better job than Windows in a lot of cases?

2025-05-07 23:28:35 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…mqwa most of the games I buy are from Capcom, Sony and Bethesda and none of those care about Linux.
And I'm not really interested in playing games that happen to be made by someone who respects Linux, I just want good games.

2025-05-06 21:56:12 UTC

My only hope is that one day we just get rid of that whole "Linux gaming" thing and it just becomes part of "gaming" in general. There's already so few differences compared to Windows, the distinction becomes less and less relevant.

2025-05-06 21:49:59 UTC

Websites like GamingOnLinux are representative of a larger problem which is how little value developers get from the overall Linux community. We give a lot, we get back almost nothing and yet they keep asking for more and are generally bitchy and useless.

2025-05-06 17:17:06 UTC

If I can finish this day without getting into a fight with GamingOnLinux, I will be very proud of myself.

I'm starting to get the hang of Rust and can make sense of the book or other pieces of documentation.
But the next milestone, and I believe it to be much harder, is to have a single clue about what Rust developers are talking about they're talking about Rust stuff.
Why is any Rust discussion so cryptic when I'm supposed to know a good chunk of the language?
