@npub19kn…detr If they don't want to support it that's absolutely fine and they should probably just setup a bot to auto close theming related issues.

Death Of A Legendary Gentoo Linux Based Distro #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/yx9BCsXUeZY

With Funtoo ending I decided to look back into how the project formed and it's nice to see that ever after 16 years the FOSS world is still dealing with the exact same kinds of problems. Flame wars, core maintainers getting special treatment, cliques forming within a project, etc

People ask why Australians don't seem concerned with giant spiders.
We are we just have an innate knowledge of which ones are harmless, which ones cause unbearable pain, and which ones are going to kill you if you look at them funny.
The first two won't hurt you that bad

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as CrowdStrike, is in fact, CrowdStrike Falcon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, KernelStrike

2024-07-24 07:47:36 UTC

Please give me kernel level access to your computer, I promise I won't abuse it

2024-07-23 13:02:18 UTC

I think the best part of Crowdstrike situation is people explaining all of the other times Crowdstrike has fucked, not through out history but in the past few months.

Debian Breaks KeepassXC Package For "Security" #Linux #YouTube https://youtu.be/9AV1Q-JfHpI

2024-05-13 02:19:51 UTC

Who should be software packaging is a tough problem, I can see the value in #linux distros pushing for better changes downstream, encouraging upstream to change (double click in #KDE) but then I see cases like KeepassXC where the Debian package is now by default broken, actively damaging the reputation of upstream but then I remember #XZ where upstream was left unchecked and hid bad code in plain sight and I go back around in a circle.

2024-02-20 07:32:52 UTC

- reply

@npub1aqr…v9j5 Github is absolutely meant to share code however if you as a project also use the platform for application distribution you're inherently going to run into people that have no idea how to use Github. Github is really bad for this and there are other platforms that provide better interfaces for non technical users, that's why on Linux we use package managers instead for most things.

2024-02-20 07:17:51 UTC

Hot Take:
The "I'm new to Github guy" is an absolute asshole but is actually completely right, all the developers coping right now that Github is a dev platform are wrong. If you only release your app on Github it's no longer just a development platform it's also distribution one
