You can get a lot done when you’ve got 29 months in a year

The dates below the graph
Personally the only part I have seen is documentation is now vibe coded, where in the past, it was autism coded.
Is that graph actually real/based on data?
when using a monotype font, shouldnt n and m dashes look the same even?
grep doesn’t care about font.s
The graphical representation does not matter, they are still different character
As an actual human who uses em dashes — or usually, two or three hyphens that turn into an em dash in Markdown — I feel personally attacked.
Same, but I’m unlikely to use them in comments
aren’t those regular dashes? em dashes seem just a bit longer
N dashes. They are as wide as an n. M dashes are as wide as an m.
I’ve been using linux for 18 years, but since reviewing the Open Slopware list I’ve been making a lot of changes.
FreeBSD ticks almost every box I need it to. It runs Plasma, it runs Steam/Proton (through a thin compatibility layer that enables a lot of other linux software), it can be set up immutably and has superior containerization natively via jails. It even supports XDG compliance.
But there is no support for changing voltage or clock rate on any amd gpu (maybe any gpu at all) and no driver support for my newer amd gpu at all.
It honestly feels like how linux used to feel back in the day 😅
I don’t think I’m gonna jump ship just yet. The recent ai code fiasco that happened in the linux kernel (race condition, regression, vacation) was averted by the team of talented human developers who reviewed Linus’ code. I am choosing to have faith that it will be ok for a while… given there are few alternatives.
That being said, I think I might finally be ready to hop on the fuck-sysyemd train. I was able to look past the megalomaniacal tendencies of the dev because the tools were so convenient, but the AI PRs and code review pushes me over the edge. I am gonna configure a daily driver in Artix soon.
Edit: I should note, FreeBSD also has some AI code issues. But the linux-libre kernel might not. Something like Hyperbola (GNU/Linux-libre) might be more appropriate for someone who is trying to avoid ai code strictly.
I use Gentoo with OpenRC btw.
can you elaborate on the recent fiasco you mentioned? I totally missed the news on that
Linus introduced a race condition and a regression with a AI generated code, then handed off fixing the problem to someone else because he was going on vacation.
Fiasco might have been an exaggeration, but it’s still pretty lame.
This was caught during review, so nothing was “introduced” quite yet. And there’s no indication that Linus wouldn’t have produced a race condition (a notoriously more easy to miss kind of bug) without the use of AI tools.
It’s only being exaggerated so much because he used AI.
I could attribute the race condition just as much to their use of the C language as to AI.
Not what happened. I’m not digging it up but this story has been debunked repeatedly
Literally you got hit with an linux mailing list saying this is what happened?
It’s not just Linux, it’s GNU + Linux
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as GNU + Linux, is in fact, Linux
It says Linux Kernel
🟥 Linux Kernel — CORRECTED: NOT GNU/Linux
Soom we’ll all be on omarchy
You mean involuntarily? Because fuck that guy.
We have to ride it for long enough so that a microkernel inevitably becomes the better option.
Maybe L4? IDK, but it’s something that makes this kind of choice irrelevant.
