You can write GPL rust code, you can also write non-gpl rust code. Gnu coreutils are gpl, if I choose to write functionality compatible with coreutils from scratch in rust I can relicense that as I please (ie not GPL) OP is postulating the driver behind rust rewrites is not for the language features but to allow coreutils functionality to be relicensed as closed source software.

This is already my life.

Inconsistency kills me. I’ve a colleague at work who insists on putting every doc through an llm to make it look nice then dumps it on the wiki. Now the wiki is a clusterfuck of assumptions and inconsistent styling.

Our documentation on some tedious process does not need to look like a magazine article nor does it help me find the salient code snippets that will help me understand why this awkward bit of code is the way it is.

Meanwhile he thinks he’s achieved something.

Are you against paying people for their work?

Guess I’m going to have to upgrade, anyone know if I’m better off with a P5 Pentium or a Cyrex 6x86?

None of which makes the distro shite. The things I remember them getting shit for are:

Unity/mir

Upstart

Snaps

Amazon ads

Advertising their premium version.

Of all of those the Amazon thing is the only one I have a strong objection to. The rest I can’t say I’ve even particularly noticed the changes if I’m honest and most other Ubuntu users probably haven’t either. They seem to get a lot of crap for “doing their own thing all the time” which seems odd coming from the Linux community.

I came to Ubuntu initially because it was the new hotness, I’ve never really had an issue with it functionally in 12 years or so, so no real need to change.

Why not deb? Why not any number of other distros? I do run deb on my NAS as it goes and I’m not trying to stan for Ubuntu (honestly) but it gets a lot of undeserved hate. It’s not a super exciting distro or anything but it tends to work fine for me.

Really? They did a ton of work to make Linux accessible to the masses, have an active and helpful community to help out if you get stuck, works really well out of the box on most hardware and you’re pretty much guaranteed there’s going to be a compatible deb available for it if you’re looking for software outside normal repos. Seems like a no brainer tbh.

You’re surprised the most popular desktop distro is still around?

Any colour I should be using?

You think? We’ve built an irreplaceable library of video knowledge, if it goes down how am I going find out the correct way to disassemble my 10 year old washing machine to replace a door gasket? Or find the correct way to remove the light cluster on my random ass car?

Exactement!

It’s simpler than that, if you’re working on the data layer anything you don’t want to touch is business logic.

If you’re working on business logic the bad stuff is data layer.

Presentation layer just isn’t my problem.

It’s clearly code!

Honestly images were a step too far. And bring back the blink tag.

Is flutter still a thing?

Yeah but you can hack some shit together in jQuery real easy like

Like Flash?

OMFG do not bring 3D fps websites upon us
