Like I said, I’ve used it.
you very likely wrote this comment on a platform whose code is managed by Perforce
I’m a bit confused by this comment. Lemmy uses Git for version control. Where did you think I wrote this?

I had no idea that Perforce had acquired Puppet Labs. I’m honestly surprised that Perforce is still in business considering they make the worst version control software I’ve ever used, and that was before Git was invented.

Informative and interesting article, thanks for sharing.
Quite a few of these POSIX improvements were new to me, even though it turns out that they already exist in the GNU versions of the tools.

Don’t go around telling them they don’t have to “do anything” plz 😅
You removed the emphasis on “You” from my quote which changes the meaning. I specifically meant that you, the person that I am replying to, don’t need to do anything, and there are people who will do something on your behalf.
Nothing that you’ve said changes my critique of your critique btw. You said:
he lives in absolute La La land
No, actually he presented a well thought out analysis of the way that the relationship between business and customer/user in our current system, along with the relationship between business and legislator, both entrenches monopolies and causes a pathological dependency whereby customers cannot exercise their right to freely choose with whom they do business, and so their rights are severely diminished.
the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.
The main point of my reply was that you are arguing against a straw-man here since the intended audience of the article is not “the people with power.”
like, buddy, your country just went full Nazi. You’ve been living in a total fantasy. You’re not going to rethink the concept of fixers, get a grip.
A non-sequitur and then a baseless dismissal of the argument that suggests that you either didn’t read it, or didn’t understand it.
Did you think this blog post was aimed at the people with power, to petition them to change the laws?
It’s aimed at us, the people getting fucked over, to point out what (among the many other things) we should be fighting for. Commentary like this is important to align the goals of the organizations, charities and lobby groups that defend YOUR civil rights by filing amicus briefs, publishing articles, encouraging activism and drives to get citizens to write to their representatives on the important matters that affect their rights. You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked by Big Tech and capitalism, on a volunteer basis.
It sounds to me like you’ve just given up hope that any progress can be made on this front, given the new status quo.
Never give up. Just because civil rights defenders will be on the defensive for a few years does not mean that discussions of what is worth defending no longer have value.

45·2 months agoI should have tried a bit harder to search, the original quote by Sartre is:
“Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.”
“Every line of code is written without reason, maintained out of weakness, and deleted by chance” Jean-Paul Sartre’s Programming in ANSI C
Is this a joke
or an AI hallucination? I’m pretty sure Sartre never wrote about programming in ANSI C.There is a book called “Programming in ANSI C” by E. Balagurusamy
I can only find other references to this quote from sites that are linking this article.
The article actually does date back to 2016 so it’s not AI generated.
The binary blobs match which checksums? The ones provided by the ventoy developer?
GLIM is an alternative that’s much simpler (it just uses Grub configs) so it is easy to audit:
Please don’t continue to recommend Ventoy. It has serious and unanswered security questions hanging over it, and the developer seems to be completely AWOL.

You’re just unabashedly supporting eugenics? Is that because you’re too young, or too uneducated to know any better?
They didn’t break RSA.
Instead of linking to a jpeg hosted on a non-HTTPS website for a weird investments scam you could just link wikipedia:
