Nothing. It just looks like my username.

I swear, execs are some of the most gullible people on earth. I know some of them, and none of them are very bright, just very greedy.

Everyday I realize that I don’t hate capitalism enough.

Note: archive.today kinda sucks.

The error is ~1/log(x), for anyone interested.

Paradox of tolerance type shi

It’s DoW now, baby. And apparently, it’s over 50,000!

Username checks out.

Things break. More than upgrades, Framework laptops are great for repairability.

Not surprised. From what I’ve heard from pretty much every German person I’ve talked to, Bavaria is basically their Texas (read UP if you’re Indian, not sure about analogies for other countries).

Exactly. I never see people actually liking Cinnamon as a DE, but everyone keeps recommending Mint. It’s so frustrating, and perplexing.

The idea is that someone is checking the code. And by building it yourself, you can at least ensure that you’re getting what’s built from the code. It is possible that some malicious stuff was inserted while building the binary that doesn’t show up in the source code. Building from source solves that problem.

Reproducible builds try to solve that problem by generating some provenance from a third party. A middle ground can be building the binary using something like GitHub Actions, since that can be audited by others. That comes with its own can of worms since GH is owned by M$, but I digress.

So it is technically sane to do it, just not very practical in my view. But for lesser known apps, I do sometimes build from source.

I mean, that’s not a Rust issue per se. It’s only noticeable because cargo is much better than most build systems, and hence is an actual option for distribution of software. But there should ideally always be a binary distribution. I know some people like to build everything by themselves, but I get it, it’s annoying.

It applies to the whole US admin.

Ironically, these (the ones who voted for Trump) are the very Somalis that actually ARE garbage people.

We thought we’ll get artificial intelligence, but all we got was organic stupidity.

Yeah, that’s the unrealistic part. The sister would’ve known how he is and asker her kid not to bother uncle.

I’m willing to bet $5 that Stephanie too voted red.

I don’t know how good my English is, but it’s my third language. Bengali and Hindi are my first two. I speak a couple more languages closely related to these (e.g. Urdu, Punjabi, Assamese, Odia, Sanskrit etc. Also been trying to learn French). But I can’t read or write in them.

I learnt English from two sources. My reading and writing abilities mostly come from school. I had some pretty good teachers, who encouraged reading newspapers to learn English. At least in my case, it really helped.

When it comes to speaking and understanding spoken English (with all its irregularities due to accents and whatnot), watching movies and cartoons helped. I used to download and watch all kinds of movies during high school, possibly some that I shouldn’t have watched at that age. My love for movies is basically what made me somewhat competent in the spoken aspect of English. (It also got me into piracy, and ultimately into FOSS, so I guess I owe a lot to the great directors whose movies were hard to find legally lol.)
