this is the attack on stallman

seems prett damning to me

also i’m going to let devault himself rebut this

also no: stallman being under attack for credible accusations and even non-retracted public statements is not an “attack on free software” but a much needed clean up. call it a refactoring of legacy assets, if you want.

In austrian german dialect, “Mit da Ua, draht ma zua.” which in standard german would be “Mit der Uhr, dreht man zu.” and in english “With the clock, turn it closed.” or something like that.

this is about type 1 diabetes, and i’m assuming you’re talking about type 2

cackles in firefox…

swearing is pretty normal in austria. I know a few people who don’t swear and it’s even somewhat weird.

well actually… sry i couldn’t resist

i think the biggest repo is that of nixos

IT’S NOT CORN! IT’S CALLED A THIRST TRAP I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW, UNEDUCATED PIG!

</ sarcasm> (just to be sure)

laughs/cries in embedded we are currently changing from mbed to zephyr rtos. at the beginning it was decided we will never replace mbed, the thing i am currently replacing, so all the code is using parts of mbed everywhere. there’s not enough space on the chip to have both mbed and zephyr in parallel. yay. you desktop/server/web/whatever people don’t how good you have it.

Well it made sense! In the 70s, and just doesn’t anymore. 🤷

I’m aware. I write C++17 and I try to be informed what the best praticed are for whatever version of whatever language I’m writing at the moment. But that’s actually a reason to not like C++. It’s painfully backwards compatible and what was good pratice isn’t anymore because now there’s a better one, but that better pratice isn’t in anyway enforced because of backwards compatibility. And also I don’t like templates, generics are superior to me, but that’s a me thing.

I don’t have first hand experience with it, I also don’t get how it would help me. Maybe I need to look at it some more.

As an embedded firmware guy for 10ish years:

C can die in a fire. It’s “simplicity” hides the emergent complexity by using it as it has nearly no compile time checks for anything and nearly no potential for sensible abstraction. It’s like walking on an infinite tight rope in fog while an earth quake is happening.

For completely different reasons: The same is true for C++ but to a far lesser extent.

notion is also not FOSS though. and i had bad experiences with the mobile app when cell service is bad.
