Good faith PRs were also suffering under the current model. Ive opened PRs by hand on small projects to try and fix personal issues that probably affected others. Then the PRs languish for months or in one case literal years under the deluge of ai slop being spammed at the repo. I’m not going to ping the maintainers constantly when I know they are struggling so I’m left running my fork and no one else gets the benefit.

Yes. And so we have the IRS whose enforcement measures fall disproportionately upon the disadvantaged and which is the only law enforcement agency permitted to open proceedings against citizens without evidence of wrong doing. I would hold this up as the archetypal bad example.

For the vast majority of human history, only the ultra wealthy had any money. And then, just as now, taxing only those people would not yield sufficient resources to fund the state.

The problem is, and always will be, what happens to me is I am out of work. No one wants to force people to liquidate assets they might need to work, live, etc in order to pay an asset tax.

Then you get to the dividing line of, but what about the ultra wealthy? Well, sure, but then you write an insanely obtuse tax code to try and capture that wealth while leaving everyone else alone and the targets are highly motivated to find loopholes.

Progressives intuitively understand that it’s not worth the hassle to try and means test entitlements yet seem to miss the fact that trying to manage a confiscatory bureaucracy would have the same issues.

All the EV tariffs are staying place past the end of the Trump administration because protectionism is now bipartisan.

It’s been a month. Not long enough for a trend. Every time gas prices spike these celebratory pieces come out and then when gas prices drop at the end the consumer markets revealed preferences are made bare again. Let’s find out if this can sustain for more than a year after gas prices drop.

It’s not even running tests. Test extensions usually have to run something to even populate the tests panel in my first place and provide the ability to run à la carte. Thus opening a folder will cause the test collector binary to run.

Quite delayed, however windows phone link can show me notifications and notice incoming calls while the phone is locked so I can only assume there is some set of magical entitlements they need.

It’s not that bad if you configure it. Much like much of Linux…

You always get that last golden egg out when you kill the goose.

Unfortunately the integration is really quite weak with Apple. KDE Connect cannot remain active while the application is not in the foreground. It’s possibly a packaging issue but pairing from fedora is also quite flakey.

As absurd as this sounds windows -> iPhone via their phone link is actually almost as good as apples built in ecosystem to the point where I can make phone calls and send texts on my computer. It’s not quite as seamless especially the setup but that is a well done wizard and it mostly works.

I’ve started seeing tabs that weigh in at multiple gbs. Cloud provider consoles are particularly egregious examples here.

I like the gnome paradigm. The gnome implementation is bad though. I was promised that xwayland would be the bridge to a glorious future yet stuff like pointer confinement just doesn’t work and their implementation of refresh rate doesn’t play nicely with vscode. So, the reality is I still use KDE even if it’s not quite as visionary.

I find Fedora hits a nice sweet spot between compatibility/updates and random breakage, especially since they backport KDE versions along with kernels.

So you’re saying the solution since Republicans control congress they should do away with the filibuster, pass a check funding bill and then continue governing under bare majorities with no filibuster?

I don’t particularly like that outcome and I think the public understands that democrats have at least some leverage or they wouldn’t be acting in this way.

Texas does this. They have lots of deals with data centers to consume additional base load where they basically get load shed first in the summer. Presumably these crypto miners are happy with the arrangement or they wouldn’t have entered into it.

What happens when you add 200+1 in a situation where the compiler cannot statically prove that this is 201?

Honestly the only use I’ve found for AI so far is for executing refactorings that are mechanical but don’t fit nicely into the rename/move or multi-cursor mode.

I’ll do it once or twice, tell the llm to do it and reference the changes I made and it’s usually passable. It’s not fit for anything more imo.

There’s a non trivial chance this interacts with credit card processing. There is also app the legal liability of you tell someone meet are cancelled and continue charging them. So probably so not something you trust an intern to do.

Is this close enough? https://github.com/lima-vm/lima

Isn’t pop_os shipping ancient components at this point due to their hate brained idea to try and create their own de and pinning their next release to it?

You use distrobox (https://distrobox.it/) and move on with your life. At work I use multiple versions of Ubuntu seamlessly without messing with VMs on a host fedora box without issue. That includes building things like .deb packages.

I feel like there have been rumblings of an honor Harrington by David Weber movie for decades at this point. It it may just not happen.

Yep, simplified by removing all those silly extraneous ‘u’s

The threat model is getting the decrypted data.

If someone steals the device and removes the drive the data is encrypted.

If someone steals the device and powers it on, the os that wrote the encrypted data (and is presumably secured) can enforce login authorization which the thieves presumably cannot bypass.

Both of these are big ifs, but the installed os won’t just divulge the contents of the disk so the trick is locking down the disk so that it’s easy for the installed os to access but becomes useless if the disk is removed from the computer.

All of this depends on the TPM implementation not being trash, which integrated instances help with. Ultimately this is a trade off for convenience. I don’t worry about random thieves probing the buses in my computer to get my tax info, so I don’t use luks’ other stuff.

The inner platform effect intensifies.

Then this would be manufacturing liability because they are not fit for purpose.

There’s no macro system in TS that could analyze the type to build the parser. So, you work the other way and build the parser and then produce the type from that.

Async communications can be exhausting. It’s infuriating to need some bit of information and be stuck with chat because 1. People are terrible at organizing things like slack as far as I can tell. 2. Walking over to someone and having a 15 minute conversation is less disrupting to the day than tossing a mention into the void and then having responses dribble in over the next hour and a half.

A work from home full time and don’t want to go back to the office, but the periodic need for unscheduled ad-hoc communication is absolutely the most exhausting part of it.

My read is that whatever subset of the ecosystem bcachefs-tools just hasn’t stabilized. Presumably it will, but once everything is functionally at 1.x even if they don’t reach it officially this will be become a non-issue.

That said, having dabled in rust there’s a temptation to name breaking changes to improve ergonomics because the type system is so expressive. I almost wonder if this is an argument for simpler type systems to reduce churn.

An anecdote:

I don’t care if things look native, however I am actively repulsed by modern web design trends.
