The goal is to create a more secure version of the program. Since (safe) rust eliminates entire classes of security relevant bugs, a rust version has the potential to be much more secure that the C version. And since rust can eliminate entire classes of bugs, we can put more energy into finding bugs like the ones presented in the article.
The weaker license is unfortunate, though.
The question is really: what is your goal? You say Open Source software development - which software are you talking about? Are there certain projects you’re looking at? Are you looking at starting your own project? Are you trying to move the open source ecosystem forward generally? (Also, what is your current skillset? Are you just getting into development or are you fairly experienced already in other platforms?)
If it’s the first, follow the project and see what they’re doing. If it’s the second: look at the requirements. Most likely though, you will be stuck with Android, because the iPhone is even worse, and Linux on phones is far from being daily driver worthy for the vast majority of people. Alternatively, as people mentioned, you could try a Cross-Platform framework, but do be aware that these have downsides, as well. If it’s the third: why not try to see what you can do to improve the situation of Linux on phones? Depending on what you’re already capable of, you may already have the prerequisites to move that area forward, something badly needed IMO.
Oh, so now you’re eating Jolly ranchers out of the carpet?
And with that memory freshly back in your mind, I’m out.
Honestly, I want to like Kodi, but even this first screenshot looks much better than anything I’ve been able to muster together in Kodi.
I mean, to be fair, at least they give you a warning. And honestly, I think it’s pretty fair to not allow things that wear down the scooter quickly.
Honestly, did you even read what I wrote? Yes, these topics need to be talked about much more. But in a way that actually addresses the core of the problem, which this oversimplified message simply does not.
Discourse implies actually listening, or in this case reading, as well.
It’s a shitposting comm, but you asked a serious question which deserves an answer.
Trigger warning: it’s about rape, and I mention some pretty specific examples coming from reality. Honestly, I hope this doesn’t keep me up tonight.
To start, I think it’s important to look at how and why rape happens. In most cases, rape is a matter of the perpetrator asserting dominance over the victim. There are many non-sexual as well as sexual ways of doing that. Rape is one of, if not the most intimate way. It’s the reason why there are cases where heterosexual men rape other men, for instance. It’s not about attraction. It’s about asserting dominance, in one of the most disgusting ways imaginable.
Rape is rarely the “someone jumped out of the bush and raped me” story. In the vast majority of cases, it’s someone they know. A friend. A significant other. A family member. And it’s not necessarily the “I was forced into the bed” story, either. It’s often a direct pressuring of the victim into doing something they really don’t. “Why not, do you think I’m ugly?” “It’s been so long, how are you so insensitive?” “You never want to! How is our relationship supposed to survive?” (By the way, these examples come from reality - not word by word, but the statements as wholes.) It’s often part of a larger pattern of abuse - and I mean think about it, if you’re doing something that heinous, it’s probably not the only morally reprehensible thing you’re doing.
So honestly, I’m going to go with a pretty clear “no”. I mean, do we have signs telling people not to steal? Do we have signs to tell people not to kill? No. The closest thing we have to that is signs at stores that essentially say “you can’t steal here without getting caught”. It’s never about “watch out, you might accidentally steal something, here’s how not to do it”. And think about it this way: these “don’t rape” campaigns have been around for a while now. I have yet to see any evidence that they actually do any good.
In fact, I worry that they actually may do more harm than good. And I’m not even talking about people who would never rape someone who are even more scared to approach and make legitimate advances on people due to things like this. It’s oversimplifying the complex patterns present in abuse down to something that can be itself abused. Think about the statements I mentioned above and the fries poster. The last four points listed can be easily achieved by modifying those manipulative phrases. “You always make me feel like I’m forcing you, you know I always stop if you want me to” (for us looking in from the outside, that second statement is obviously a lie). Add a little Gaslighting and the victim will believe they’re freely consenting. So now the victim sees this poster, and goes, “well, I guess it was consensual?” The fuck it was not. And that’s often one of the main difficulties with recovering from rape in the first place: coming to terms with it. Rape is by nature incredibly traumatic, and in traumatic situations (especially ones like that) people often reason that the traumatic situation never happened, because dealing with it is too taxing. Meanwhile the person is developing psychological symptoms left, right and center, which the victim will often, then, in turn, also try to cover up.
So, what should we do to combat rape? Well, we have to take a more holistic approach. Consent is very important in sex, but it doesn’t only apply to sex. We need to teach people how to recognize abusive behavior - and teach kids in school (obviously, at an age appropriate level) about abusive patterns. How to recognize it happening to them, and how to recognize it happening to others. We need to teach people how to deal with abusive situations. We need to reach people how to help others in abusive situations. At the moment, this is knowledge that mostly only specialists in that topic and people who are or were personally affected and did a lot of reading know. When these things become common knowledge, then we have a chance at turning the tide. We also need to vastly improve the way we deal with mental health. Essentially, we need much more readily and easily accessible psychological care. Treating trauma is one of the best ways to avoid victims becoming revictimized, since predators tend to feed on those who are already down, and can also avoid extreme cases where victims become perpetrators. Now, you may be thinking, “isn’t that victim blaming?” We’re not blaming the victim. The victim is not at fault for being a victim. The fault lies clearly at the perpetrator’s feet for being such an abhorrent piece of shit. And while realizing that as a victim is incredibly important on the road to recovery, it doesn’t change anything about what will help. Unfortunately, a perpetrator who keeps getting away with what they’re doing will very, very rarely (really) change what they’re doing. So, we can only try to help victims and avoid creating further victims.
Don’t put your dick in that.
For one, the Maga movement isn’t about women being subservient to men. There are some fairly large parts of it that are about that, but it’s definitely not the whole movement.
Let’s start with the women that are part of the movement, but not part of the “subservient to men” part. They are generally women with conservative views, often the “you should have to work for it” crowd. They have often worked hard themselves to achieve what they’ve achieved (especially in the lower classes), and there’s a sense of “why should I have to work hard but others can leech off of me”. Then there’s the abortion issue. They see it as protecting unborn children. Yes, I know what anti-abortion laws have done - but they often don’t. The way things are portrayed in conservative circles is often that abortion is being used as a form of birth control - and if that’s the way you’re looking at things, well, abortion can quickly sound like something spiraling out of control. The cases of medical necessity where a lack of an abortion can mean the prospective mother dies is not really on their radar. Add on top the “tough on crime” narrative, which can feel quite reassuring, especially when right wing outlets have overblown certain dangers.
Then there are the women who are part of the more misogynistic part of the movement. I mean, for one, a number of things they don’t directly view as misogynistic. They don’t necessarily see housework as something “lower” - in fact, they see quite a bit of value in it. And especially if they view it that way, they don’t quite see why other women wouldn’t want to work that way. Then, there is a certain toxicity in the Maga movement in general - and trust me when I say: toxicity can very quickly keep you in situations you don’t want to be in. It often creates kind of a mental trap that prevents you from escaping, without going into too much detail. What you can see in individual abusive relationships, you can see large scale in movements like these (and that’s not limited to women, either - men are affected by this as well, the Maga movement doesn’t do them much good, either). Which often adds the next layer of complexity: that situation can often make people on the outside look down on them - an they notice it. And especially in situations like those, when people feel like they’re being looked down on, they will often double down on their opinions, making things even more difficult.
Which phone do you have that doesn’t do this? (Unless you have a Linux phone, but then you’ll be unaffected by this whole change anyway)
I highly doubt 2026 will be the year of the Linux handheld. But if Linux on the desktop continues growing the way it currently is, it could lay the groundwork for Linux on handhelds.
Hate to break it to you, but this is just the next assfucking in a long line of assfuckings. Your phone already won’t let you:
I mean, maybe, hopefully, this will finally be the assfucking that wakes us the fuck up.
I can only assume you’re trolling, I never DM’d you.
Uh, where? I actually looked through a week of his post history and couldn’t find anything.
Being livid is one thing, stabbing someone is an entirely different story… Let’s just hope it’s actually hyperbole.
I think if a face stabbing is the result of doing something like that you have more serious problems…
Because of this incident, the Dutch authorities now ban electronic greeting cards, which, unlike packages, weren’t x-rayed before being brought on the ship.
Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to allow unchecked electronics into a sensitive area like a navy ship?
yt-dlp already supports downloading playlists. If it doesn’t work for a specific site, you might as well write it in python and contribute it to yt-dlp directly, that way everyone else can benefit as well.
Mind you, yt-dlp has a strict policy against cracking DRM, so I have my doubts as to if it will work with Tidal in the first place.
That’s vastly underestimating the hardware on other devices as well as overestimating the danger. There are plenty of software optimizations that can be done to enhance security that work even if the hardware isn’t ideal. Simply ignoring those devices is letting perfect be the enemy of better. Not everyone wants or even can buy a pixel, and that just excludes all of those users (and also sends even more money Google’s way, which I would honestly like to avoid).
Narwhal song when?
