Which is better: Linux or GNU/Linux
  • The person I replied to specifically said

    Therefore, in technical discussions, I use the word "Linux" to refer to the OS, as "this software is compatible with Linux". But, when I want to stress out software freedom, given a large influence of the GNU project, I say "GNU/Linux".

    So they use GNU/Linux to refer to any open system

    Which is better: Linux or GNU/Linux
  • So calling those which are just as open but not associated with GNU GNU/Linux is disingenuous, despite the influence of the GNU organization

  • There’s quite a few Linux distributions or whatever you want to call it that aren’t associated with GNU or are not based on GNU software

    Which is better: Linux or GNU/Linux
  • It’s not more accurate with distros like gokrazy, alpine, or chimera which aren’t necessarily based on GNU software (the last of which specifically advertises itself as „non-gnu Linux”)

    my react frontend crashed with Segmentation faults
  • That’s not a segfault, that’s a bus error, which also refers to memory, but it’s a different kind of error, typically occurring when you access a misaligned address or some address which cannot possibly be referenced. Probably a problem with one of the pre-built binaries some npm module ships

    Lemmy core devs have started work on a new front end using leptos
  • The problem is giving their project support also gives them a bigger platform and more influence which could lead to more people being exposed to their beliefs or them having a bigger impact
