I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.
For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don’t really like any of the clients.

The meaning of version numbers can vary across projects.
One common scheme is Semantic Versioning, which divides the version number into three parts: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
*
MAJOR
is incremented when there are backwards incompatible changes.MINOR
is incremented when new features are added in a backwards compatible way.PATCH
is incremented for smaller big fixes.* It’s a bit more complex than this, but this is the gist.
Maybe.
Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.
However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.
Quite the opposite.
GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.
Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.
Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.
Do Nerd Fonts use the Unicode private use area?
It seems not. It seems like they replace CJK characters instead.
The PUA seems like the right way to handle this.
Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.
I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.
TIL. Thanks for the correction.
\1. Many retro games were made for CRT TVs at 480p. Updating the graphics stack modern TVs is valuable, even if nothing else is changed.
\2. All of my old consoles only have analog A/V outputs. And my TV only has one analog A/V input. The mess of adapter cables and swapping is annoying. I want the convenience of playing on a system that I already have plugged in.
\3. I don’t even still have some of the consoles that play my favorite classic games, and getting retro hardware is sometimes difficult. Especially things like N64 controllers with good joysticks.
Studios don’t need to do a full blown remake to solve these problems. But I’m also not going to say the Crash and Spyro remakes weren’t welcome. Nintendo’s Virtual Console emulators toe this line pretty well.
But studios should still put in effort to make these classic games more accessible to modern audiences, and if that means a remake, that’s fine with me.
(I’m mostly thinking about the GameCube/PS2 generation and earlier. I don’t see much value in remakes of the Wii/PS3 generation yet.)
They can’t even be punished. robots.txt
is just a convention, not a regulation. It’s totally not enforceable.
The only legal framework we have is copyright law. Those who oppose this behavior will have to demonstrate copyright violation, and that may be difficult to do since the law hasn’t caught up.

What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?
Zsh
No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload
) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).
My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles
Exactly.
My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.
RIP Fuchsia

Kaspersky can whine all they want. Russia is embargoed. They’re not getting their money.
Kaspersky is a good company doing good work in the cyber security space. Unfortunately, because of the embargo, they may have to turn to the black market to sell future exploits. Or maybe not; I’m not totally sure what kind of ethical standards they have.
The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.
But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?
To me, this just sounds like the network isn’t rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don’t use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.
Nvidia is in a great spot for the AI bubble.
It drives up prices now, but when the bubble eventually burst, data centers are still going to need accelerators for more viable compute tasks.
Absolutely the most robust business in the bubble.
There are still issues with WearOS, but I think some of that is hardware. Last I heard, Qualcomm’s wearable SoCs were trash, but Samsung is in a good position since they have both the SoC fab and make the watch itself.
Many industries are shifting to a model where Android is the de facto OS for consumer-facing interactions. It’s not well optimized outside of phones yet, but it is rapidly improving. Many cars run Android now, for example.
I’m moderately optimistic about the next generation of WearOS devices.
It’s not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.
At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly “tough on crime,” anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).
Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.
For Zulip, I’ve only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.
For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it’s… fine I guess.
