Does it include route search using public transport?
Regardless, congrats on the release!
11·8 days agoLKML: The end boss of kernel development
Contributing to Linux was my first time interacting with a mailing list, at least for the purpose of sharing and reviewing code. I thoroughly hated the entire process. I tried in vain to write about my experience in a constructive manner, but it always turned into an unhinged rant, so I gave up. In summary, I think that sending and reviewing patches via email is exactly as insane as it sounds.
That’s the worst part but kconfig doesn’t sound much better. Even if I had time, I wouldn’t try contributing to the kernel for those 2 reasons alone.
It is great that he got to the point he is now. Kudos for pervering.
And now we have a new streaming service 🤔 Really nice.
I was thinking that by now, we should have enough bandwidth to stream webcams straight to each other without HLS or WebRTP or whatever. Just make the device available over a port or, as you did, cat it to another PC and voilà. Actually, why don’t we stream raw camera feeds?
all hail lynx
I hope they will do the same for the Fairphone 5. Being able to run Linux on it would be amazing. It would blow the librem5 and pretty much any other Linux phone out of the water.
Nice. Are there any other groups on Signal? Probably joining one allows you to meet people from other groups too.
is this the beginning of an article and a link is missing?
@darklang@mas.to why opensource it on GitHub instead of Codeberg or a similar platform?
Isn’t Gemini a transport protocol? It can transport binary data and text data. Wouldn’t it be easy to send JavaScript? If there’s a browser on the other end that supports JavaScript, it can be executed.
But setting up even a simple HTTP server is a lot of work.
How so?
python3 - m http.serverand you’re done. The text can be read even by CLI browsers that don’t depend on javascript. Or do you have some other scenario in mind? Does Gemini support SSL?
I honestly don’t understand how this protocol can protect anything HTTP+HTML wouldn’t. If you build a browser that supports modern web technologies using Gemini, we’ll be back at the same spot. The only thing saving the protocol is its relative obscurity. A decicated and knowledgeable Dev could abuse it any way they like, no?
If they moved it to Kiel, I don’t know what would happen to Munich and their Microsoft policy. One can only hope the federal politicians aren’t as corrupt as the ones in Munich, but they are just people too.
Nearly every government in Europe is beholden to Microsoft. There was a news article recently about how only one single municipality in the Netherlands hosted their own services on their own hardware. If Germany, the probably least digitally progressive country in the EU, suddenly decides to do more than just talk about opensource and actually use it across all government agencies, it would be a huge signal.
Only time will tell. Trump better keep beating his great big drum to keep the pro-opensource voices strong. Without it, it would be back to business in no time.
You did not read my comment did you? Please read it again…
Because reports say “Germany” when they talk about some town in the middle of a rape seed field nobody’s heard of adopting Linux. Everyone’s heard of Limux, the distro for Munich, that was killed by the Christian conservatives for sweet sweet Microsoft money.
I can understand your scepticism, Germany is not the country of innovation and progress these days. However, let’s not spread fake news about “Germany wanting Linux for a decade”. It simply isn’t true. There hasn’t been an official statement like this from the federal digital minister… ever. At least not that I can find. That this comes from a Christian democrat is even more astounding.
Whether it will result in anything (he just wants to “raise awareness”) and be tabled as soon as this invitation to be lobbied by GAFAM is taken up, who knows. The Christian democrats have promised 100% fiber internet for a decade too and any trip through Germany has always been a lesson in patient with the internet. Hell, rice fields in fucking Vietnam and the middle of the goddamn jungle in South America have had better internet that in the middle of large German cities.
At least, if it’s said by the digital minister of Germany, there’s a possibility other European countries will listen and actually do more than Germany promised.
9·1 month agoI assumed this was going to be a negative article because my experience with canonical was equally disappointing. It only took me one go to drop it though. The pseudo-scientific questions in the online assessment got me so annoyed I was just cursing by the time it was over. Companies with this kind of selection process do not deserve the talent they get.
Shuttleworth’s involvement in the recruitment process explains why Ubuntu is such an annoying operating system to deal with. He probably gets involved in wrong places all the time. There likely is some kind of vision, but the dude won’t listen to critique, and surrounds himself with yes-men.
Redhat was… not as bad, but there’s something equally annoying about yet another opensource company deciding to copy silicon valley recruitment processes, instead of thinking for themselves and trying to be innovative in that regard too.
I really think if flatpaks were built upon nix, it would resolve these problems. It would however bring a new problem: people would have to learn forsaken nix 💀
11·1 month agoThe weights for the neural network or the embeddings?
364·1 month agoIn a decade, most games will be cross platform but compiled for
windowsproton and people will have forgotten why. Then somebody or some group will come up with “cross platform compilation” and the circle will start a new only to return to proton or some form of it.
I clearly don’t understand the fusion process. Deuterium is used to fuse and create tritium?
What’s this “electron screened environment” they are talking about? They can’t purge all electrons from molecules when they enter can they? That would make the molecule instable. But it sounds like they are doing something similar in order to reduce the temperature required for fusion.
