I agree, but I have concerns about accessibility.

No, people who want something approaching chatgpt but local want to run at least deepseek V3 32B.

Qwen at least fares much worse for my usage as do deepseek V3 under 32B.

The Rust code isn’t closed source, but I’d strongly prefer a coreutils replacement to use GPL over MIT as well.

Already fixed, in software that’s existed for years and is used by millions. But Oh no, memory issues, let’s rewrite that in <language of the month>! will surely result in a better outcome.

Rsync is great software, but the C language fates it to keep having memory issues in spite of its skilled developers.

Preventing a bug from being possible > fixing a bug.

I fear moving away from GPL that moving to Rust seems to bring, but Rust does fix real memory issues.

Take the recent rsync vulnerabilities for example.

At least this one in a Rust implementation of rsync would have very likely been avoided:

CVE-2024-12085 – A flaw was found in the rsync daemon which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the checksum length (s2length) to cause a comparison between a checksum and uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack data at a time. Info Leak via uninitialized Stack contents defeats ASLR.

I would love this news if it didn’t move away from the GPL.

Mass move to MIT is just empowering enshittification by greedy companies.

GrapheneOS reboots often for updates and security against cold boot storage attacks.

Sadly I found out yesterday:

Matrix is not a community-based software, it was born [00] in Amdocs [01], a multinational corporation founded in Israel.

https://hackea.org/notas/matrix.html

Many were claiming its impossible to get contributions merged as well.

I would be happy to find out this information is wrong or outdated.

If Mozilla wants to limit their use of my input, why the do I need to give them a full, non-exclusive license?

Users are further forced to sacrifice their privacy to Google and Google Play rather than use something like F-droid.

Mouse, mostly. I’ve noticed that I feel lag much much more with mouse.

Not for KDE which aims to be good for beginners.

I can confirm 3-5ms frametimes with a popular shooter at 165hz.

Games feel almost disgusting on 60hz now, but they felt fine before I tried 144hz.

Maybe if I was stuck at 60hz for a long time id get used to it.

Now though, if I switch for 30m I can’t ignore the difference.

This comment betrays a technical misunderstanding.

Not only is it possible, but designing games from the ground up in this way makes it easier for developers to test and make robust software.

I’ll have to come up with some examples and write something more detailed I think to explore this.

Until NixOS I was very in favor of language specific package managers and things like flatpak.

You see the conclusion of that article is that flatpaks are not repeoducible after presenting solutions to make it reproducible right?

If you care about your software being stable and secure, you should care about how easy the programming language used makes and encourages that.

People aren’t robots and make mistakes often.

The issue was closed, but a draft PR was linked… potato:

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/14034

I did this before being in emacs made it so convenient to avoid, but got bit randomly by different versions or gnu vs BSD.
