@Adidotdev > What actually matters more in a developer? being mature enough to understand and realize that both topics are not mutually exclusive. take only one side and you're still a junior in your soul 🤷

What actually matters more in a developer? • Years of experience • Ability to learn fast You can only choose one. No “it depends.”

@mjmawa @tabatkins like somebody else wrote in there, it's still not clear what's the use case. utf-8 itself, as genius as it is, wouldn't care about strings in a reversed order so while the Segmenter approach works, who would need or benefit from this? 🤔

@WebReflection @tabatkins Should we conclude the fool-proof way is to use the locale-aware Intl.Segmenter object with grapheme granularity? Segment , reverse, and join?

one might think that this is all you need to reverse a string without breaking emoji: function reverse(str) { let c, s = ''; for (c of str) s = c + s; return s; } then you read @tabatkins and 🤯 ... nope, one does simply reverse a unicode string 😱 es.discourse.group/t/string-proto…

@hackerfantastic imagine the world where this happens instead: "a more realistic outcome for non-compliant distros is a disclaimer that the software is not intended for use in California." where is the drama around adding *yet another field* in there that has also officially landed as optional?

Imagine a world where you must prove your age to compile code... It's coming with systemd.

@piyush784066 > what hasn’t he achieved yet? embrace Arch as "the way" (he is still a Fedora user, reason being: he wants a distro where you can compile and use your own kernel, one field where ArchLinux shines, among other fields) 😇

@1kMegatea @thatstraw ArchLinux is like: 5 minutes to install it and *it just works* indeed 🤷 you might thinker a bit around if it's not Omarchy variant or others with most things pre-configured, but if your hardware is a good one, it's hard to find issues these days in Arch youtube.com/watch?v=kwsU8F…

@thatstraw The only time I've ever heard something like "Linux just works" was in reference to a highly curated and stable distro like Linux Mint. Nobody with any knowledge would say that of, for example, Arch. Instead, Linux's claim is being free in both the libertas and the gratis senses.

it's just an optional field placed in there to comply to specific laws in specific places ... what have missed around this drama? 🤔 github.com/systemd/system…

* does NOT

@ThePrimeagen I now wonder if an animated GIF renamed as png will show up animated as thumbnail 😅

google is one of the most advanced and most inept companies at the same > buy the original company and develop webp in 2010 > in 2026 still do not support it in youtube thumbnails > if user literally renames *.webp -> *.png it works > same thing in google docs

@fidexcode tortoisesvn.net

Before github, where do developers store their code?

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia to some extend, if you ever followed the debate, this feels very much like DRM content on Firefox/Linux in general: it's not that different as a topic, we have previous work to show "it could happen". I'd personally focus on that *could* instead of *should* because, sadly, laws.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia speculative: because it's like TPM 2.0 requirements shenanigans for Windows 11: it's either there at the root of the kernel or it's not I don't want a TPM 2.0 like constrain for outdated hardware, so what are the options for Linux? Like you said, early days, but it's inevitable

wow, systemd is adding an age variable for future digital ID laws. Linux users are not going to like this.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia progress has two ways forward, always: * oppose at all costs and likely be ignored in the future * understand what can be done to make it better for everyone involved I'd rather focus on the latter for everyone sake: raise the right concerns 'cause if it's by law, it's law 🤷

@WebReflection @CryptoCyberia I will oppose that crap as much as I can until I am no more. Especially on my personal machines.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia dude, I think you have no idea who you are talking to... I've published tons of OSS things and develop for Web to IoT devices daily, you don't have to convince me, maybe you can read again what I wrote: if it's inevitable, or Linux users will be charged like pushers, get it right

@WebReflection @CryptoCyberia that should be your last concern of what's somebody else is doing. Go contribute to microsoft with such ideas. Computer is just a tool. It's not a nuclear button to protect it with ID verification.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia or to clarify: * on Linux it'd be for legal requirements * on Windows it'd be for that plus a way to uniquely identify your needs as buyer for stuff related to your age and ads that target you by all means * on mac, same as Windows but less pumped as "core feature" 🤷

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia I'm on ArchLinux (btw) ... I was just saying: I agree with you, but even if it happens, it's not that other options won't already have it backed in and as a way to sneak in ads and corporate metrics around, you know what I mean? It has to go out in the best possible way though.

@kaaaash____ Linux

Be honest, which one is best for coding ? MacBook or Windows

@nalinrajput23 P.S. I've said "needle" ... I think they called it "red nipple" instead over time

@nalinrajput23 last, but not least, I'm that old, I've used 'em all 🧓

I’m curious, what is the real purpose of this red button on a keyboard?
