Say hello to The Lunduke Computer Operating System. - No Age or ID Verification. - No AI. - No Online Accounts. - No Weird Politics. - No Systemd. - No Forced Rust Clones. Ships with XLibre & Brave Origin out of the box, built on top of the excellent Devuan Linux. This is a very early release (0.1) for those looking to kick the tires and see where it's going. But, even though it's a 0.1 testing release, it's usable thanks to the excellent Devuan base. Been running this on my main laptop for a while now. github.com/BryanLunduke/L…

@SatoruSato92 @LundukeJournal If you write code in C++ and lint it with ASan and Valgrind, you have all the benefits of Rust and none of the downsides.

The Lunduke Journal@LundukeJournal·
One of the key goals of “Lunduke Computer Operating System” (LCOS) is to avoid the onslaught of needless, forced Rust clones. The approach I’m taking, to accomplish that, is as simple as humanly possible: If any core components decide to force Rust adoption (Git, apt, clones of Coreutils, etc.), we have a separate package repository where we can provide Non-Rusted(tm) versions or originals. Then we make those packages the default. Nice and simple.
Fim@spacecube

@LundukeJournal How will you deal with apt? Isn't that being replaced with a rust version even in Devuan?

@LundukeJournal Also maybe it should actually be a specification like Unix. The Lunix specification. Any distro that meets those points is a Lunix compliant OS!

@LundukeJournal One of the reasons Mac is better than Windows, 50% less syllables. Maybe you should go for Lun, aka LunOS.

@dev_maims Neither. Team them together to pair program and they'll learn from each other. Any companies that are firing their software engineers are making a huge mistake. AI is making engineers more productive, valuable and essential. It's a lot cheaper to upskill than acquire new talent.

@LundukeJournal Please everyone blame the government alone, no British citizen ever voted for this, it was in no manifesto, no UK tech company asked for this. What you call the deep state, we call the blob, it comes up with this nonsense and NPC brain-dead politicians pass it into law.

So… the UK government has “initiated work” to invade the USA, and steal money from US citizens, because the UK is mad that Americans didn’t follow irrelevant UK laws in America.
Preston Byrne@prestonjbyrne

Ofcom has told the Independent newspaper that they intend to work with American police and the courts to recover fines from 4chan. This is legally illiterate. If they really want to sue us in the United States to recover a foreign censorship penalty, we welcome the fight.

The $2.5 billion Microsoft spent on Minecraft turned out to be a steal. The entire Xbox division rested on those cuboid foundations. It was the bedrock of the business, mining cash for years. gameobserver.com/minecraft-repo…

@WulfenCG @DaveBeatsGames The whole idea of legacy TV where you are forced to watch whatever lowest common dominated slop they schedule is totally outdated. We are willing to trade production quality to watch topics we are actually interested in. This genie is not going back in the bottle.

@DaveBeatsGames Or we could just accept that TV as we know it is on the decline. I don’t watch TV because I don’t have any interest in anything that’s on TV, but equally I am happy to watch things on YouTube or some streaming service because there are things on them that I want to watch.

For those who haven't seen it, the UK goverment are looking to "make it easy to discover content from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Paramount-owned 5". Essentially, this would mean that impression slots on suggested and home feeds on YT that could have organically been taken up by.... I don't know..... GOOD CONTENT, will now be more likely filled with official clips from UK TV shows. This is monumentally crap. How about these hotshot TV producers just make TV that people want to watch in the first place.

YouTube is urging creators to respond to proposed UK rules that it says could force the platform to prioritize some channels over others The company warns the changes could limit channel growth and reduce how often creator content is recommended

This is exactly why I stopped doing YouTube - biggest load of shite being a UK creator when this can change overnight and all your hard work is gone in one click of a button.

🚨BREAKING: UK GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUTUBE ALGORITHM This is pure authoritarianism Keir Starmer's/Andy Burnham's Government is set to control the YouTube algorithm by LAW stipulating that they must push "APPROVED CONTENT" to UK Citizens And independent voices who criticise the government will be pushed to the back of the queue making it harder for people to find YouTube has acknowledged this is happening This must be stopped

@moving_charlie People stopped watching TV and started watching YouTube because amateur content about things you're interested in beats polished content about things you're not. Technology disrupts. Not even His Majesty's Government can put the genie back in the bottle.

Moving Home with Charlie@moving_charlie·
UK gov to make YouTube prioritise approved government broadcast content. (George Orwell just turned in his grave, again. Last time it was when the BBC put his statue outside Broadcasting House). Hmm, I wonder if I'll make the "approved content" list under new government content authority rules? Here's the guy behind the new law. We will think what we're told to think and like it.

so the government is planning MANDATORY CHANGES to how content is discovered on YouTube in the UK. - they want YouTube to prioritise mainstream broadcasters like BBC, ITV and Channel 4 over user created content with a 'prominence regime' this is absolutely insane and is going to severely affect everyone british youtuber should this go through. YouTube have started a campaign to fight this, but we need your help to ensure this doesn't go through like this, since this could RUIN the site

They are downgrading HS2 from 360 km/h to 320 km/h in a futile effort to reclaim sunk costs, while China is upgrading their railway to 400 km/h.

@Thafnine Indeed. A government can require YouTube to suppress or promote categories of content, but it can't legislate popularity into existence. If those interventions make recommendations less relevant, users are more likely to spend less time on the platform and move elsewhere.

Indeed. The core problem with the YouTube algorithm is the lack of transparency. Giving governments secret levers behind the scenes won't fix that; it'll make it worse. The real challenge is building a peer-based system for judging content that can't be easily gamed.

Helicopter flying above our area of Birmingham for the last hour, low enough that it sets off the motion detectors in the neighbours' garden lights. Must be a serious police incident.
