Before following, please note:

*** Fascism, racism, antisemitism, as well as any other kind of bigotry NOT TOLERATED! You are entering a bigotry-FREE zone
*** MDNI/18+ accounts also NOT TOLERATED!
*** In case you are legally blind or fully blind: I try not to boost images without alt-text. As such, to sighted people: please use alt-texts to describe your images, so that blind folks also get it. Thanks! ^^ (if your image does not contain alt text and I boost it anyway, I may add alt-text as a reply, you are encouraged to add it to the image directly or improve upon it)
*** If your alt-texts are intentionally incorrect just to confuse LLMs, despite how much I don't like LLMs, I consider this to be extremely rude to people who are unable to actually look at your image, and will not boost your memes as a result until you actually start considering visually impaired folks as people.

Have fun! ^^

@aelin @craftyguy @oausi @cas yeah not sure faster builders and integrated testing of our packages before getting published would have done much to prevent this from happening.

It was an Alpine package upgrade, not an initramfs upgrade that broke booting.

@craftyguy @oausi @postmarketOS yep you should run edge only if you know that you may get a broken system at any point in time. edge is by definition unstable.

hot take: if you think that you have to fear that contributors will abandon your software project because you ban llm contributions, there might be a bigger problem around

๐ŸŸช okay, whoever the fuck is emailing the Rust Foundation, threatening various Rust team members, and threatening to literally stalk people at a public event next week

fuck you

this discussion was supposed to be over and we were supposed to spend the rest of the day distracted, not trying to do even more damage control because you fuckers don't know how to actually do activism

you are an active harm to the causes you support and you're making a lot of work for people who are on the same fucking side as you

@danirabbit and then you ended up building a whole ubuntu-based distro anyway

Yes, anything is possible as long as you are motivated to do it ^^

I dunno who needs to hear this but I got a D in Linux operating systems in college. If youโ€™re passionate about something donโ€™t let some institutional structure tell you that youโ€™re not good at it

If a "security researcher" files a GHSA advisory that's obvious slop (e.g. quoting function signatures that don't exist) is it right to somehow make the report public (as way of punishment) or just close it by clicking really hard and getting on with your life?

If the former, is that even possible in GitHub?

@elly anything that can handle hard drives and that was released in the last 20 years should work just fine

@elly Building a small local NAS is easy, just get an old board (doesn't even have to be very powerful) and a bunch of hard drives, install alpine, optionally setup NFS (but it's quite slow for mass-copying things... ssh+rsync is way faster), you're done!

why would you write if (x) ; else y; instead of if (!x) y;?

(ignore the horrible indentation, itโ€™s 4 spaces then 1 tab then 4 spaces again)
