Yeah it’s such a mess. Last I tried I had to set my variable in like 3 different places and it still didn’t apply everywhere I expected it to.
If we magically got rid of IPv4, I do wonder if the world would decay to a state of utter chaos like the tabloids were touting for Y2K
As I said, I didn’t find an alternative, ended up just going back to regular Microsoft VSCode, I’ll poke around VSCodium again and see if I can get Python to work as I’m expecting it to.
I suppose there is PyCharm Community Edition but I haven’t really used it enough to recommend. It also feels like Jetbrains IDEs end up being heavier than Electron, somehow. Depending on your use it might be overkill.
I also know there’s that super hyped Rust based one called Zed that’s supposed to be really lightweight and fast, but who knows if they’re even focusing on that anymore given their whole homepage is now AI AI AI…
Reading the post, the issue is more on Snap’s side and the way Ubuntu configures it than on Systemd.
Ubuntu automatically deletes old files from the /tmp directory after a certain number of days. During this cleanup, an important directory used by snap-confine may get removed. This creates an opportunity for the attacker to act. Once the directory is deleted, the attacker quickly recreates it with malicious content.
In this scenario, a cron job could trigger it too.
You know, It’s time I play with VSCodium again.
I used it for a long time but ended up having issues with the SSH plugin and the Python support that forced me to go back to regular VSCode. But that was so long ago they surely fixed it by now…
Racism. In the Computer Monitor discussion group. Why are people the way they are? 😐
Damn, I had no clue about this single-pass look ahead, all this time I’ve been doing two-pass for nothing 😵💫
Thanks!
As an inspiration for this, look into Two-Pass encoding
One issue, if you want to call it that, is that our approach was deterministic. Enter the same movies, get the same results. I don’t think an LLM is as predictable for that
Maybe lowering the temperature will help with this?
Besides, a tinge of randomness could even be considered a fun feature.

Important disclaimer at the end that I felt was worth repeating
I looked up the .ai TLD on Wikipedia and
.ai is the Internet country code top-level domain for Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean.
Things will get interesting if the folks over there decide it’s time to make extra money
Just make sure there’s no wacky rules to follow on .uk Last I bought a domain, .us was the cheapest, but it had no WHOIS privacy and you were required to prove you were a US Citizen or company to buy it??? I noped right out
Insane behaviour. Much as I hate Windows, for a “generous offer” I’d make it work.
For those who don’t know, she created Anubis, but she was already writing cool articles before that, definitely recommend add her to your RSS Reader!
The best I’ve seen was yesterday where a website had the log-in button greyed out after the password manager filled my creds in.
So I had to manually click both the email and password field. Just click them. Then it enabled the log-in button.
So someone took their time to write a piece of JS that said “If the user hasn’t focused both fields at least once, no login”. Literally why? Extra code that does nothing useful.
I was hoping passkeys would be the solution to this madness, but it seems to me the entire spec gives too much power to the OS Makers and too little to the users because “mUh AtTtEsTatIoN” so now I don’t know anymore

Never hear back
…success???
Look, if he wanted to introduce AI code, whatever, but doing it all at once in a 14k line change is crazy.
Surely it would be better to introduce AI by letting it handle misc changes here and there instead of starting with the “biggest release ever done” (his words), no?
New FOSS attack strategy in which we dismantle projects by making the maintainers die from cringe
Did they start vibing as well?
No their website was already this bad on mobile before vibing was a thing lol
TL;DR: Tribalism bad. I’m sure you’ve heard it before but it really needs repeating.
It’s pretty hard to disagree with this guy after seeing the massive shitstorm over Age verification and Systemd’s purported “”“willingness to participate”“” these past few days.
I feel like we are days always from someone asking what distro to get and some huge comment section fight breaking out over OpenRC and Antix versus Systemd and Cachy or something along these lines.
Now imagine you as a newcomer with no Linux knowledge being on the receiving end of this mess. Yeah I get the point he’s making.
And then you flip this to the “experts” view and:
Like holy shit. Why the hell are people out there yelling at software maintainers about packaging decisions???
And I’ve seen people do this for Flatpak too.
“Why is this only available via Flatpak weh weh Red Hat is the devil!”
I understand not wanting to “cater to the normies”. I understand wanting to have your own corner where you do things your way and don’t give a shit about the needs of the regular Joe. I totally get it.
But people at large really need to stop yelling at other people not catering to them.
Want software packaged in X way? Do it yourself!
Lately DankPods (Aussie YouTuber) has been taking about his escape to Linux.
He talks about how he moved most of his needs (bar video editing and other minutiae) to Linux as it’s the only platform he feels he “owns” / sees a future in.
Yet even him, said he’d almost rather not talk about it publicly because of the mountains of people in his comments yelling at him for choosing Bazzite over something else. Or accusing him of making Linux “Look bad” because of Nvidia issues despite him using the right Bazzite Edition for Nvidia. Or the people yelling “Why you still edit on Mac? Just Davinci on Linux bro” despite there being a billion quirks to it.
How on Earth has the community at large not moved on from Distro wars? Holy shit.
This is basically what the blog author is grasping at here. How many people have been driven away from Linux because of all this infighting? How many more will be?
