The actors running astroturfing will just continue to get direct access. If those sites cared about those things they would have done something long ago. All the verification process does is making astroturfing and propaganda campaigns even

You are injecting a lot of assumptions and wishful thinking to view the removal of ownership from this equation as a net positive. I see no reason to assume that this would lead to the disappearance of parked cars or to more trees. Our corp

Is there a term yet for Rust projects rewriting GPL code to get it under non-gpl licenses? Rustwashing ?

I'd say the "threat" of local models and user independence is currently (successfully) being fought by cutting off the supply and development of general computing devices and hardware. The mentioned big few are buying up ever

I mean aside from the somewhat...dishonest statements from the people involved, giving false explanations is one thing, but calling people who smelled this "overreacting" gives this a weird taste. I am neutral on such a rewrite it

Are you working on compilers? If not it seems you did not understand what is being talked about here. Do you lack fundamental understand of those apps you built that are still in use? Did you lack understanding of their workings when you bu

Yeah but Valve is not publicly traded, so that comparison is of course totally unfair! /s Having skilled and happy employees that aren't constantly changing and do not spend all of their time on ways to fuck over customers and c

It is a fair note when there are a lot of people with a monetary incentive to hype up a certain piece of technology. And as gp correctly points out: "democratizing" is most commonly used in a very hostile and underhanded manner. I

I will put some trust into these people if they make this a pure nonprofit organization at the minimum. Building ON measures to ensure that this will not be pushed for the most obvious cases, which is to fight user freedom. This shouldn&#

Yeah I also see the potential of LLMs to become the biggest enforcers of general technological and societal stagnation.

I've been running bcachefs on one of my laptops since it hit linux stable. Just wanted to say thank you for all your constant work on it.

Love picocad. Now that picotron is ramping up which basically offers a superset in terms of features compared to pico8: will there be an expanded picotron version of picocad?

Not too long ago I would have agreed with you. That was, for a long time a decent way to enjoy Twitter, even when people were already long claiming it was an unpleasant place. But for the current situation you are just misrepresenting the p

No, not where should it start. Whether that behaviour is acceptable is not the question. In my opinion it is not, but I don't think I should decide because a whole lot of things that are widely seen as very acceptable I would place und

Something that the page does not seem to comment on: will easy embeddability, like with lua, be a priority for this project? Especially in Zig (obviously). It's the most interesting question and use-case that comes to mind.

Fully agree. The biggest bummer when it comes to Julia for me is that proper compilation is just an afterthought. And it seems like compilation of portable binaries will remain a second class citizen inside the Julia project? Julia with a p

This might not be relevant to medium's downward spiral, but as a reader I find that medium is a marker for content of very low quality. I follow a lot of personal blogs and over the years less than 3 medium posts (not even whole blogs)

As a parent myself, working from home, I can't relate to what you describe, at all. What you describe sounds like a communication and relationship problem first and foremost. If those same "emergencies" are urgent to you an

What does that even mean? Is that just your gut feeling, as in typical "bright people doing amazing things, surely they would succeed doing x" (which ultimately means nothing, that's just PR speak), or are you saying that bas
