  • I’m pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

    So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

    Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

    May as well just install Ubuntu then.

    For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

    Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

    Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don’t have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.



  • if you encounter problems just search online or ask AI, it’s fairly simple

    Good luck with that. All the answers are going to assume WSL is using Ubuntu.

    Why do Linux advocates try so desperately to overcomplicate things?

    Can’t you you just be satisfied a Windows using is experimenting with Linux. Why does it have to be your ideological strain of Linux they use.







  • This has been one of my biggest frustrations while learning Rust. I’m coming from .NET which has an incredible wealth of official System and Microsoft libraries all of which are robust and well documented.

    Rust on the other hand has the bare minimum std library, with everything else implemented by the community. There isn’t even a std async library. It’s insane.

    Even the popular community libraries are severely lacking in documentation or inexplicably unmaintained.

    Rust has a ton of potential but it desperately needs some broad funding to align the fundamentals to a decent standard.




  • Yep. The governments typically select who administers the tld and then get a lump sum or portion of the revenues.

    For .ai it was 10% of their GDP in 2023 which is insane…

    The registration fees earned from the .ai domains go to the treasury of Government of Anguilla. As per a New York Times report, in 2018, the total revenue generated out of selling .ai domains was $2.9 million.[13][14]

    In 2023, Anguilla’s government made about US$32 million from fees collected for registering .ai domains. That amounted to more than 10% of gross domestic product for the territory.[

  • The open alternatives don’t have particularly good UIs which was a massive perk of GitKraken.

    These days I rely heavily on the Git UI within jetbrains various IDEs. If you’re working on open source projects then you can get a free license. Or they do educational discounts. If you’re using it commercially then it’s going to be roughly the same price as for Kraken but you get a best in class IDE included…
