zed loves to spawn a git process that maxes out my laptop fans and outlast the original application process whenever I open nixpkgs

There are tons of industrial and agricultural processes that are intrinsically polluting and use orders of magnitude more water; the idea that running a bunch of electricity through circuits will make water undrinkable is a paranoid public panic on par with believing 5G gives you asthma

The SI unit of measure for an amount of consciousness is the Chalmers (ch). A rock is 0 Ch. A tree roughly 100. The average dog has around 80 kilochalmers of self awareness, while the average human is around 1.2 megachalmers. This is all basic science really

This was a normal story of a developer trying their best and bugs happening the way they always do; but folks polarized against any use of AI took it as an opportunity to harass a stranger giving them valuable work for free.

I eagerly await the Internet Discourse that will occur when parts of systemd are vibe ported to rust

plenty of people new to linux are using llms in some capacity, and they're certainly not gonna end up contributing to an ecosystem that turns them away from its sanctioned distribution channel because their project isn't "mature" masterclass on how to dry up a pipeline of new contributors

nixpkgs forcing me to learn git beyond "git add . && git commit && git merge main && git push" 😔

NixOS 26.05 “Yarara” is here #nixos. 20442 new packages, 85 new modules, and 1547 options! Systemd is now the default Stage 1. x86_64-darwin support ends completely in 26.11. GNOME is updated to 50. GCC is upgraded to 15; and more. Read the rest here:

no greater pain than going from a twm to gnome and you use Super+L to navigate windows

You start out in 2024 by saying, "clanker, clanker, clanker." By 2026 you can't say "clanker" — that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, stochastic parrot, next-token predictor, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract.

If only C++ hadn’t rejected Sean Baxter’s Safe C++ proposal and then salted the earth to prevent other effective proposals from being considered.

a truly horrifying and gut wrenching movie

stroustrup on AI-generated code "it writes more security holes" www.youtube.com/watch?v=U46f... have you tried telling the AI to be really careful? to just get good? skill issue imho (/s)

#30719 is a bit terrifying — they didn't even vibecode a CI check for Miri? Really concerned this is going to seriously harm Rust's reputation github.com/oven-sh/bun/...

5 more days until finals are over... the urge to drop everything and work on a composefs-based chunked nix store implementation have never been stronger

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

perhaps I should go back to my sandboxed dev environment experiment from a year ago... not that it'd matter if a malicious dependency exploits my kernel anyway

sorry emacs bros, but this is what peak text editing looks like

nix... fixes this

pretty important stuff grapheneOS users already encounter this pretty often when dealing with banking apps etc, but the important part is that this will not stop at graphene anything from linux to even a pirated version of windows will be affected by it in the very near future unless we do smth

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

the two genders: fedora atomic and nix

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow
