politics @lemmy.world•Graham Platner Could Be the Bellwether of a New US Populism
71·13 days agoThese days I have to assume these posts are by feds or Russian plants. He was a Marine, if you’ve never spent time around them let me tell you, they promote a culture of killers and respect effective killers. SS imagery was as common as “Back to Back World War Champs” imagery.
The left needs killers.

Guix and GuixSD@infosec.pub•Framework Laptop CompatibilityEnglish
1·21 days agoI’ve run Guix on my main desktop witch is an Intel i9 and an ARC B570 and I’m trapped in a frame buffer without nonguix. Part of me was hoping that with a non-duscrete GPU I could get away with it.
As for the hidpi that’s the first I’ve heard of it actually. My desktop’s monitor is a 5120x1440

Linux@lemmy.world•How Linux developers defeated the new OS age-verification lawsEnglish
181·28 days agoOh come on we know how this works. Age verification is a prelude to digital ID and that “totally optional user field” is a prelude to something not optional. The current incarnation of that PR is optional and user controlled but it leaves us open to more and more.
Never give them an inch

Technology@lemmy.world•Bugs Rust Won't Catch | corrode Rust ConsultingEnglish
61·28 days agoI’m not a rust programmer, can anyone with experience in systems programming explain a legitimate use case for the uutils other than weakening the GPL? The auther even admits that several coreutils are still GNU in 26.04 which begs one to ask “why the rewrite?”

Technology@lemmy.world•Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educatorsEnglish
2·2 months agoSo I actually got my BS CompSci from WGU so I probably fall in this category. Did 2.5 years at community college for a math associates, ran out of money and joined the military, then finished the degree online in my last year in. I suppose all together it came out to about 4 years and it’s accredited so {shrug}
I have mixed feelings about the degree, it got me the job I have now working as a Linux Sysadmin for a robotics company and working towards a role with the robotics Dev team but the education was thin.
Strictly speaking, if you did all the supplemental material you were given the classes were actually dense as hell but the problem was it was way easier to cram for each test.
That being said, I know a lot of CS grads that don’t know what an array is so honestly I think I’m on the side of “maybe cramming all your education into 4 years is worse than just slowly picking at it over a lifetime”.
I think I’d like to see a system like that. Like IT certs but not complete shit.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Systemd preparing to comply with age verification laws
21·3 months agoOkay but not really? Systemd does not really provide that much usability that any other init system + elogind doesn’t. The benefit to the FOSS environment is that we, as users and developers, can starve out bad actors.
Want Nix but don’t like systemd? Guix. Want Arch but don’t like systemd? Void. You know what “compile” means and don’t want systemd? Gentoo.
Yep. And that makes him popular with macho white guys. I love villains, I especially love villains who are on my side.
