Mints outdated drivers can definitely cause issues for beginners.

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I would be happy to find out this information is wrong or outdated.

You are thinking far to linearly. Think of this as a guerilla tactics to take advantage of media focus and what would happen if Musk crashed out.

Why not avoid amazon completely or as much as possible?

Nah, fuck brave.

You can self host firefox sync.

Lets just Thanos snap everyone to class consciousness.

If you cant get people to do it for a day, you surely cant get them to do the planning necessary for a month.

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

You can’t export your MFA? Aegis for example allows this.

Just another nail in the coffin that hopefully convinces those who thought Proton was maybe still okay after CEO licking Trumps toes.
