The bootstrapping path does not exist. There is (afaik) no way to go from C compiler to working dotnet environment. You are supposed to just download binary blobs from m$soft.

I would expect the actual restrictions to be 10, maybe 15 years into the future. After all, this is a long term plan how to make world worse, not a spontaneous idea. Will people not refresh the hardware by then?

Sure, I could. But it is more complex. And my (probably wrong) opinion is that at the point where you can inject environment variables, the game is pretty much over anyway (you can probably make more harm with LD_PRELOAD compared to SSL_CERT_FILE). So I am not convinced about the value this limitation brings in.

My main annoyance with libressl is the absence of SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE. They are often handy for example for testing.

> when there is no technical reason not to support BSD.

Guix' packages include glibc in their dependency chain, so unless you can use glibc on BSD, there is your technical reason. For example GNU Hurd is supported in addition to Linux.

For now.

I would think no. Even inside each single country, it is problematic to reach a generally accepted definition. Internationally it's basically impossible in my opinion.

> If the system itself is misbehaving, you can feel safe knowing that there are thousands of others on the exact same configuration.

I feel happy that there are thousands of other people who need to use a retarded workaround to get their xbox x series controller working over the wire with the official USB dock.

If you connect xbox controller over a cable to the official dock, and it is not recognized, the workaround is:

1. Put batteries into the controller

2. Turn it on (make sure this does not turn on your xbox, I had to unplug mine from the power)

3. Attach the controller via cable to the steam dock deck

4. Wait for the steam dock to recognize the controller and the controls to start working

5. Now you can fucking take out the batteries and it will keep working

I found post describing this workaround from like January, I would never figure this out on my own. How do people even come up with this?

Yellow is not a color? I always assumed that Asians are included in PoC.

But that is what should happen. The build should break. So that someone can fix it.

Dunno, maybe? I personally am reasonably happy with my new ryzen-based thinkpad. If nothing else, the macbook has so little ports and everything needs an adapter.

I guess that depends on what your goal with hand writing is. My handwriting is horrible too (no idea if to your degree), it's basically my personal cipher by now. My wife can read it, sometimes. But that's basically it. And my attitude is "so what, I write those notes for myself and I can read them just fine". No idea if this helps.

Yep. It was used in EVE: Online multiple times :)

My solution is just not to use czech characters, seems to work well so far :D

Well usually I order hot chocolate when at starbucks. They do not have only coffee. So this specific example seems like looking for a problem.

> Git isn't a blockchain as it lacks a consensus mechanism.

Isn't for example for Linux technically Linus acting as the "consensus mechanism"? Or does it have to be automated?

While I'm still not happy about this change (well, I do not like more entries on the list now that I've actually read it), I'm happy to hear there will be a actual human in the loop you can talk to before having the repository deleted. At least that is my tl;dr understanding of the second part of your answer.

> Not only this, but he's demanding people work 12+ hour days through weekends or get fired "for cause".

Question from Europe: Is that actually legal in the US? :-O

Hm, I do not see any definition of "blockchain technologies" in the new ToS. Will that be added? My understanding of "blockchain" is that for example git could be described as a application of blockchain technology.

First question: Will there be further clarification regarding what is the precise definition?

Second question: If there will be some HW accelerator thingie or something for blockchain technologies or cryptocurrency, and the driver for that gets merged into upstream linux kernel, will that make linux kernel un-hostable on sourcehut? If not, why not?

Which part? :)

Though in any non-trash editor you get syntax highlight based on shebang line alone.

One advantage of no-extension is that you can swap the implementation language later without "breaking" shell history for people in your team.

Well it's useable, I use it as well, but definitely worse then before this "new" version. And I want the extension support back.

I try to avoid it where possible, but for international shopping the options are sadly bit limited. It's pretty hard getting Japanese literature (in Japanese) shipped into tiny country in the east Europe. amazon.co.jp works reasonably well.

> if ((temp > 90000)); then

What is this syntax? I would have assume something like `[ $temp -gt 90000 ]` or `$((temp > 90000))`. Is the dollar here optional? Is this something bash specific?

I think not having so wide gap in salary between employees and C-level people would be a good start. I'm not saying people higher on the ladder should not be getting more money (I'm still undecided on what my opinion on this as general rule is), but the wage gap between C-level and regular employees is... unhealthy. And it's growing.

Can you use this to work around the size limit by having linux source code (up to the required commit) in a orphan branch?

In my humble opinion it is definitely worth it. All people over at LWN do tremendous job and should really be supported.

> and in return it's fast

I'm still curious where this came from. There are slower compilers, sure, but golang's compiler is not that fast. It is very smart about caching, but that is not the same thing...

Right, in the middle of war with Russia and with war with China on the horizon. Great idea.

As far as I know the first two number basically don't have any meaning these days as far as size of the changes goes.
