Nat (she/they)

My keys were fine, I’d used them on a previous system. My best guess is boot failed because GPU firmware wasn’t signed with my keys, only Microsoft’s keys. And of course, I can’t just CMOS clear, and I don’t have an iGPU. It’s crazy that an OS can brick my motherboard; I’d be a lot more forgiving if a BIOS option bricked it, but exposing a “brick me” option in efivars for any ring 0 software to press??

I enrolled custom keys and bricked my motherboard 🙃

Progynova is the Debian logo

Aren’t they the same now?

To me, namespaces = containers. I don’t know much about OCI, I only know how namespaces work.

snap uses containers

Is it backports for an old version?

Made with AI? Really? What would GNU think?

What? Nova is a rewrite of Nouveau from scratch by Redhat devs to better support newer cards.

Specifically in the Linux kernel, the 2 big reasons to use it are memory safety (huuuuggee benefit) and that a lot of younger devs like it and thus it will attract their contributions.

The only reasons I can think of to not use it are that some people want their own toolchain and having multiple languages in the kernel adds complication. But tbh, none of that justifies banning Rust stuff that realistically wouldn’t have been written at all if C were the only option.

And then there’s the people who show up in Phoronix, HN, Reddit, and YouTube comments saying Rust is over-hyped without showing why it’s unfit for purpose and also trying to dictate what someone does with their own project. Perhaps it’s something to do with the representation of queer people and other minorities in the Rust community, because otherwise I do not understand why people would be sooo passionate in hating the Rust community like the group I described above is.

It matters to potential contributors. It’s also a floating signifier for a lot of things.

cargo cult

Yeah, you wouldn’t. My point is that’s because it’s preinstalled, not because of any GUI/CLI advantage.

man genfstab gave an error? Neither CLI nor GUI is gonna help with simply not having something installed that the guide assumed.

I can’t even mount my Android storage to my computer without some unreliable MTP FUSE program.

Worked on my machine last I checked, and I don’t have a useragent spoofer

It’s the Nazi bar effect

With a library like Wlroots you almost get that, it’s just in-process rather than out of process. The real problem there is doing some fancier things requires nonstandard Wayland extensions with low support across the ecosystem.

Also whoever decided to do strings in WTF-16

I have 2 monitors at different refresh rates
