in 2026 you really have to ask an employer what they mean by object oriented programming in the interview. do they mean a methodology of organizing pure functional code into actors and message busses? do they mean imperitive code that’s interacted with through generic interfaces as with python? or do they mean javascipt style OOP where you define classes to organize your imperitive code within a functional language without any concern for the generic interfaces this could hypothetically enable?

as in all authoritarian regimes it depends on how you look and where you are. keep your eyes up and your head high

A terror state is a state that controls its citizens through the use of terror. A terrorist state is a state that then inflects that terror out into the rest of the world in an act of expansionist imperialism. So… Yeah. It’s internal. Because I was talking about internal use of terror to control a citzenry

the most active developers in both communities are frequently in both communities, and if they’re not, they have a ton of respect for the developers in the other community. The “Neovim split the community” crowd who villifies the Neovim community seems to be a thread unique to people who first got involved in open source through Hackernews and are supremely confident that they know better about what’s going on than people who are directly involved

Posting to wikipedia because it’s the most expedient even though it lacks a lot of the context of how the Indian government has been cracking down on tribal people in Northern India for the past 10 years

Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I’m glad you always know what’s going on in the metafediverse

the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking

See @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone’s better explanation of the situation here: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/comment/3354654

western libs are smarter than global consensus, bear in mind. really, what it is, is they’ll say anything so long as the money keeps moving.

the reality is of course that terrorism is any act that is intended to modify public behavior through widespread fear. here’s some examples of terror states:

• America
• Russa
• Israel
• India
• Iran

i’m POSITIVE there’s more, and i’d even be willing to hear arguments that every nation today is either a terror state or subservient to a terror state.

my objection to snaps came before i knew they were proprietary. they actually factually run worse

i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says “well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag” and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.

new is a different concept from first api stable release. it’s been in development since 2002. 0.21 was the most recent release, and the software has been pretty much usable since 2010 at least. but this 1.0 release is a big deal because it basically means any features you currently know and like can be expected to be there for forever. it’s more of a promise than a time-based release measure

the google corporate overlords are just straight up evil

it was for a time a distro i was really big on on account of how small it could be on live media. absolutely fantastic for very old pcs and netbooks, too

clown distro makes clown decision

i think some big project, something really important, needs to migrate for the masses of devs to move too

read up to date current docs and know they are for the current working state of the system, potentially when i don’t have a net connection because i’m troubleshooting PID 0/1

that’s a great example of bad docs.

this is everything i see monitoring Linux boxes everyday. we’ve shifted mostly to OpenRC about it. i can’t imagine defending SystemD if you have experienced anything other than it and SysInitV. yeah compared to SysInitV, it’s really nice, but to say it’s good and stable? that’s like praising your landlord for all the work they do and the reason they haven’t fixed your broken dishwasher is because they’re so busy from what a good landlord they are

In fact, the situation has gotten much worse. The coupling of SystemD’s components to each other has gotten tighter. The coupling of things that aren’t SystemD to SystemD has gotten tighter. SystemD itself has gotten less stable. The overall result? Our operating systems require more, not less, troubleshooting, and they’re less, not more, enjoyable to use and develop on
