Re:Arch Linux disables AUR package adoption on Friday July 31, 2026 @05:55PM (#49128984)
You really only upload a manifest and probably a few scripts. Most often AUR packages are just calling out to download external binaries etc
It's just a pause until they get to their alpha deadline. Hard to do that when you can't quickly validate all the drive by llm contributions
Nah, just individual components where memory haters
Aren't responsible for certifying?
Re:Our position on open-weights models on Monday July 27, 2026 @06:23PM (#49076232)
China this and China that. Playing right from the playbook..
This looks cool!

A fun thought experiment would be figuring how to achieve something similar using eBPF to get better control at the kernel level

Re:Don't Support the Coreboot Project on Friday October 18, 2024 @09:32AM (#41879305)
"We never received a quote for the actual porting, but they said the evaluation cost is typically 10% of the total cost, which would mean the porting would have cost around $33,000 for Dasharo-branded coreboot, and $66,000 for unbranded coreboot. Even their highly discounted Dasharo-branded porting comes out to around $250 to $330 an hour, and that’s if they started from scratch. We had 80%+ of the job already complete. We just needed to debug our code."

How can you be champion of open source if you employ such practices? Double the cost?

While it is definitely a legitimate issue. The recent anti Telegram rhetoric i see here on hacker news and other places seem to pretend that everything listed does not happen on all the other big tech platforms. Pretending it is any harder to achieve the same results
The fact that *insert American tech company * is still allowed to run amok when the *insert 3 letter agency* has their hands all over it and openly flaunts it is the greatest irony and crime here
The irony here is that it's not been done by China or Russia. Why does it seem there's much less outrage if any when it's been done my local agencies?
And how does that negate Boeing's maintenance woes?
Re:Amazon Cuts Jobs in Prime Video and MGM Studios on Thursday January 11, 2024 @02:31PM (#38957575)
Interestingly prime video had technically always had ads. An ad for other prime video content always plays before the start of anything

I had the same thought . Maybe the title should be updated to better reflect this
Re:Show HN: LinuxDAW – Quality audio software for Linux on Saturday December 30, 2023 @10:56AM (#38816179)
Thank you! As a musician I often complain about having to dual boot to get access to all the really good plugins. Mostly due to me not knowing where to find decent enough plugins without having to rely on hacky workarounds using wine
Still a long way to go before bard is able to truly compete with chatgpt

Congrats to the nutshell team!
I always find it strange that Aljazeera gets so much hate. Their English coverage over the years IMO has been mostly unbiased and really stellar.

Congrats to the serenityOs team, can't wait to see where this goes
This is where the fediverse comes in handy.
Re:U.S. Orders Al Jazeera to Register as a Foreign Agent on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @02:13PM (#24495521)
So true, most western media are tainted with bias towards propoganda of western governments. Aljazeera is the first station I've seen that has really shed a light on what happens in the middle East
Re:U.S. Orders Al Jazeera to Register as a Foreign Agent on Wednesday September 16, 2020 @02:10PM (#24495482)
I'm from the Caribbean and I find I learn a lot more about what's happening in the world. For years I've watched BBC and CNN international and found them way too biased to from a properly unbiased view about most stories.
Re:Show HN: Neural networks tutorial series with code on Saturday January 04, 2020 @10:02AM (#21955203)
I'd love to get into machine learning but for someone who is self taught and never went to college I am yet to find a resource that gracefully introduces math topics needed
Re:Goodbye Docker: Purging Is Such Sweet Sorrow on Saturday July 27, 2019 @01:33PM (#20543068)
I personally like keeping my root partition to a minimal and ever since docker came into the picture I keep running into spacing issues. So the allure for me to switch isn't technical but for peace of mind storing images in userspace
Re:Year of the Linux Desktop? on Thursday May 09, 2019 @09:11PM (#19874185)
What was so significant about those years?

Year of the Linux Desktop?

With Google now making chromebooks officially linux ready and Microsoft now shipping the linux kernel with their wsl2 subsystem, can we now officially say it is the year of the linux Desktop?

something smells fishy... y 24hrs warning? whatever happened to the usual 90 days disclosure?

Would be interesting if we could use it as a library from go
