.NET is such a second-class citizen (Mono situation looks shaky now) on non-Microsoft Windows. I mean don’t give it up cold turkey perhaps, but adding new languages to your belt will help you get unshackled from Microsoft.

FxOS only targeting low–mid-range phones in developing markets only seemed a bit odd. Basically no one had heard of it & these places largely choose used/old version of premium products to buying budget unless they have to. There was hype in the dev community about getting a B2G device, but there was hardly availability & specs were abysmal for an OS running a non-fast interpreted language like JavaScript. Not only that but the marketing was around openness & developer-friendliness—things average consumers don’t care about (even if they should).
Imagine in a parallel universe where the idea was managed properly & B2G left the phone sphere too—where school kids were required to get a FxBook instead of Chromebooks… 😶
Happy I switched to NixOS to solve this issue for myself
That is a different story & a usability pain I can share 😅 …but assuming there wasn’t a GC, the build is cached, just needs another switch—& I am willing to take that as opposed to having the whole process running as root.
It’ll call sudo at the point it needs to at the end regardless of remote or not. There have been a couple of bugs in the past trying to run the whole process under sudo & --use-remote-sudo
was always recommended as a fix.
You should at least consider nixos-rebuild --use-remote-sudo switch
over raw-dogging sudo
.
#!/usr/bin/env dash
set -e
cd $HOME/nixcfg
# flake inputs to update
for input in nixpkgs nixos-hardware home-manager hosts; do
nix --extra-experimental-features flakes --no-warn-dirty flake update $input
done
# rebuild NixOS
nixos-rebuild --use-remote-sudo switch --keep-going --fallback --flake $HOME/nixcfg#$(hostname)
# check for firmware upgrades
fwupdmgr get-updates
# print hard drive status info
sudo smartctl -H /dev/nvme0n1
sudo zpool status -v -x
Just please get us proper color management. Creators need accuracy & HDR is still a mess.
They don’t package LTS kernels which is pretty concerning—especially if using out-of-kernel modules that don’t always get released in lock step that could leave you with a machine that won’t boot.
A US corporation cornering the market then charging their own fees to use the service (surfing & scraping are basically the same action)? Never seen this before. Sounds uber evil—I couldn’t airbnbelieve it.
This assumes that just since abuse could happen means we should block access for everyone. Folks might make illegal photocopies of books so we should ban libraries. I & others have done general scraping for our own uses that isn’t done in some abusive manner. But to assume a company beholden to US shareholder is going to “to the right thing” would be to go against the history of US corporations.
And you know who is going to be able to afford to do the scraping? Big US-based “AI Bros” that can do it with venture capital preventing the average user or researcher from grepping the net.
“FOSS” here doesn’t mean hosted exclusively on proprietary Microsoft GitHub, right?
They are precisely deciding who can scrape what by sitting in the middle of like 30% of internet traffic & denying access. There is no way to tell if this ‘scraping’ is for research, hobby, commercial, or “AI” purposes; conveniently if it can make Cloudflare money, they’ll let you charge a toll. If Cloudflare cared about AI issues, they wouldn’t be having unpaid users solve/train their hCAPTCHA models just for visiting a site from Tor, a VPN, or even just a non-‘Western’ IP address. The fact that folks/businesses bought into this centralization is frightening—with little open access to information or allowing folks to stay anonymous (whatever their motivation).
Also don’t dare call someone “dumbass” if you can’t be bothered to turn on spell check or understand how commas work.
Naïve me it college hearing non-destructive editing was right around the corner. The corner was well over a decade. 😅
The gall of Cloudflare to think they can be the arbitrator of scraping… this is what happen when all y’all give a singular publicly-traded, US-based major control of the general internet infrastructure by purposefully letting them man-in-the-middle your production sites. Now they get to sell access to what was once an open internet. Instead every time Clouflare or Fastly go down, half of the internet goes down with them.
There are several browsers that can operate with low memory requirements, but you have to be willing to live without JavScript & the front-end needs to have been built with accessibility & progressive enhancement in mind. …Which most front-end developers don’t do & the industry doesn’t normally pay them enough to care or get better results (& following YouTube tutorials always tells you to use the latest bloated framework which is overkill for your project).
Also Fedora doesn’t ship with LTS kernels which makes me question their package management strategy.
This is how they want to frame it. C has footguns, therefore use Rust—instead of Rust is one of the options you could use.
Yet even without a WM, still better than macOS
One day they will wake up & provide an OLED option with 100% DCI-P3
Any on your shortlist for picking up?
