Is Bluesky (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon?
  • As far as I know, no one has demonstrated that they can successfully run their own instance and have it integrated with the main Bluesky infrastructure as easily as the spec authors have claimed.

    Until that happens, all the talk about federation and open standards is just that - talk.

    Linux rule
  • A lot of complaints I've seen is that it's bloated - it's not only a system manager but also has a DNS relay, network manager, container manager, and so on.

    That said, codifying service startup and managing them with cgroups is IMO MUCH better than init scripts that think running killall apache is a good way to stop a service.

    C rule
  • It's mostly because C is notorious for not holding your hand and not telling you when you mess up. Write one past the array's length? Might do nothing, might crash, might mess up some other data, might crash later in somewhere completely different.

    What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently?
  • And how is calling conservatives "weird" how you describe?

    Compared to conservatives calling anything left of them "communist", calling a party backing a felon president and a vice president that can't even make small talk at a doughnut store "weird" is very fitting.

    You should make a new programming language
  • I know I'm sidetracking the point but I despise projects - particularly game engines - that make up their own language and force you to use it.

    Making a language is a good exercise and learning experience, but making a good language is hard.

    Amerirule exceptionalism
  • I thought it was: 1. The devil defeats Johnny, 2. Johnny defeats the devil but disappears after, and 3. Johnny defeats the devil and returns as a child to warn the Pope.

    Crowdstrike
  • Anything with enough access to block malicious programs has enough access to block any other program by mistake.

    Security modules like this usually get very invasive with the OS, to be able to monitor everything and so that malicious programs don't have the ability to shut it off.
