You will have to get it in a digest and ration it throughout the day

You know we can roll back the internet a bit… Let’s keep the speed and the unlimited traffic but drop the “always on” and give people “mobile internet hours” for their phone? :P

https://goreleaser.com/ does Rust now… But it’s binary focused but probably what the guy is doing…

For go Debian has: https://go-team.pages.debian.net/ I would imagine there is something similar for rust?

Being open source helps a lot, however he should probably source help for each distro. He is right that it’s a pain but I’m not sure his reasons are.

Pushing as much of the costs of generated AI onto the contributor is 100% the right way to do this. There has been a substantial shift towards generated code. Which might be temporary depending on your belief system but we are in the world we are in right now.

Contributors using LLMs should have a burden of proof higher than that of traditional contributors. This includes tests, recordings, proofs, discussion, etc.

The way I use a computer changes frequently, having an overly opinionated desktop environment makes it feel like it’s not my computer. I like my computer to work for me at my current time and I don’t mind the inconvenience of modifying settings to get there. I would rather defaults just work but I’m not asking my computer to read my mind. I’ve settled with KDE but I often use other window managers and desktop environments. Last week I used twm for the whole week. Other than scaling issues it was fine.

tl;dr china is throwing a tantrum around usa stating that it might investigate sanction evasion. There are no good guys here.

IIRC this is very much created by the way copyright law works. So this is the company acting on incentives. It needs regulatory adjustment. If you stop them from THIS method they might find an even more destructive path. Make it so their actions create positive 2nd order effects.
