@barrelshifter The platform rewards shit takes and you're excelling at it

@valigo Use package manager for DE, libraries and services. Use flatpak for apps. Simple as.

Truth nuke. I use Linux full time for over a decade, and this is the truest take on package management. Infinite amount of human hours wasted on slightly different ways of copying and removing files in "correct" folders.
This is because in Linux, new thing is never just better than the old thing. It's always better in one way, and worse in other ways, so instead of switching to the new thing you just get more fragmentation.
In Linux, you design an incompetent half-assed new thing by committee. And then it takes 15 years to get to a state where a bit over half users of the old thing can comfortably switch to it, and you stop at that, in hopes that the other half of the users die of old age.

my hottest take is the linux model of package managing is insane in the modern age projects like firefox should not be handled by random package maintainers for every distro, it makes sense to download from the mozilla website imo why linux will never take off on the desktop

@theflow0 One liner patch to support a new platform? That's hilarious

@Numerama Intéressant projet, mais ça me rappelle les idées du livre "L'Effet Adolfo Ramirez". La crainte n’est pas tant que l’IA échappe au contrôle, mais qu’elle soit guidée par des élites à la vision étroite. La technologie devrait servir un vrai projet collectif, non ?

@yyloc_ I consider it to be heavyweight, ugly, and overengineered. To be fair, it has a lot of company. I don't know of a noveaubuild system that escapes these defects.

Found my favorite use for an LLM ever.
I maintain giflib, which is the reference library for GIFs. It is thus everyfuckingwhere, key infrastructure to the max. I mean this code isn't just in your browser and your Android smartphone, it's in the ATM at your bank. And probably in the display subsystem in your car and in the next airplane you fly.
Lots of people, many of them Chinese university students, think it's really cool to run a fuzzer on the CLI tools that travel with giflib (ancient code most of which probably has not seen live production use in this century), find an edge case that makes them crash, and then scream OMG BUG IN GIFLIB OMG!!! and file a CVE.
Thus, the giflib bug tracker is stiff with CVEs and "critical" bug reports that are completely bogus, because they're problems in the command line tools, not the core library.
It was deeply wearying to deal with this shit. I'm now marching through the backlog with fire and sword and robot friend. We will put a stop to this nonsense.
And yes, this code is the reason GIFs were the first major web interface format. Mark Andreeson grabbed a copy and put it in Netscape. The rest, as they say, is history.

As I like GPUs and tinygrad more and more, I wanted to better understand how to properly benchmark kernel runtimes, so I wrote a few notes: github.com/cverrier/tinyg…
Hope it helps!
