It adds an optional birthdate field to userdb. The desktop does not have to populate it. I’m honestly surprised this wasn’t already a field in UserDB

By using this software, you affirm that you are stateless and live on a boat in international waters.

linux is a kernel

I started using Helix a few weeks ago and I’m in love. I don’t want to spend multiple weekends figuring out the ideal plugin configuration of neovim. Helix seems to do everything I want it to do and nothing I don’t, right out of the box.

Not an embedded dev. What’s the Rust situation in the embedded world? Is it ever used?

The slices aren’t in any reasonable order. This even led to this mistake in the article:

C was in use for 76% of the codebase followed by Rust at 10.3% and Vala at 3.77%.

(Python was between Rust and Vala at 4.76% for the library languages)

Those pie charts are bad

Well it kind of stands for nothing, because at the center of this onion is GNU, which is recursive. It stands for “GNU’s Not UNIX”, so the G in GNU stands for GNU.

I have a pretty beefy gaming PC and a separate middling mini-PC for my linux workstation. I enjoy the separation of concerns and distractions and would love to install a gaming-focused OS on my gaming PC.

Just me, the docs, and stack overflow, just like old days.

While I am doing this old-fashioned coding,

I think I’ll go become a goat-herder

That’s honestly fine in your application code, but very frustrating to see in library code on crates.io. Nobody wants library code to panic over some nonessential functionality that the calling code could’ve recovered from.

Rust programmers writing library code

is it not an acronym or something?

Fedora Silverblue (GNOME) or Kinoite (KDE) are great for a “hands-off” OS. They are atomic so very hard to accidentally fuck up the system. Apps are installed easily via the GUI software center. I tried both when I switched to Linux and found I loved the simple but powerful and delightful-to-use experience of the GNOME desktop.

It’s slowly marching along with the reimplementation of its reference decoder in rust. That should hopefully satisfy google and mozilla’s demands and get them to adopt it in their browsers.
