That might be true, but claiming that people only moved because they were propagandized into doing so by a for-profit company is absurd.

This is incredibly reductive and at best looking at mumble through Rose tinted glasses.

Mumble has had a rocky past as a useful piece of software and it’s absolutely not been a discord competitor any more than TeamSpeak is a discord competitor.

Maybe it’s changed recently, but mumble has not had the feature set that made discord useful in the first place.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag for me to be honest. I understand the desire to accurately package dependencies and maintain control over the dependencies without relying on a third party host, but I feel like everyone (whether that’s rust, node, python, ruby, etc) should just maintain a separate registry. As in not package it in the “Debian repos” but a debian mirror of crates.io that the debian maintainers maintain. To whit I can just download the Debian rust toolchain and have it be pointing at the Debian rust package mirror.

I’m sure there’s a lot of extra infra required for something like that, but I genuinely believe it’s more sane to try and get these languages to adopt that, rather than what we have now.

I could be easily swayed another way, but that’s how I feel currently.

I don’t know that the OP or anyone else necessarily disagrees with you here. It’s one of the reasons that I believe we’re fucked when the bubble pops. Every other sector is shrinking otherwise, which is only making the mania more extreme.

Trump has fucked the economy, but I don’t expect the next administration to be able to pull off a miracle and fix the mess we’ve created within the next 10 years. Foreign relations and our status as the reserve currency are shot to hell. The US is going to have to answer for our behavior.

Phoronix comment sections never fail to be cesspools

I think you’re fundamentally misunderstanding what this project is working to achieve. Why wouldn’t a web server be a basic requirement for an identity provider?

Isolation has the connotation of a single thing or individual being… Isolated from the group. Atomization is meant to evoke a sense of the more widespread impact on society. After all, if something only impacts a small subset it’s considered… “Isolated”

That being said, atomization is definitely not a new term to describe this…

History and good explanations of what was changed and why is incredibly useful for being able to determine if something is a bug, a feature, and why something was written a particular way.

I’m not super stringent on commit style, but it absolutely helps to structure commit messages, especially in larger projects where they’re being worked on piecemeal.

The latter seems next to useless. What computer would you choose to power with a monitor with these specs?

2fa isn’t a panacea and won’t solve every problem. It does help though. Why do you think supply chain integrity isn’t something they care about?

Phoronix comments are always such a mixed bag. I get that something still running after 20 years is cool and all, but it’s not necessarily a good thing.

Personally, I usually take issue with the missing institutional knowledge on such projects. It doesn’t matter if it runs, it matters that we’re running something we can fix if it explodes.

I recently built some stuff with the latest gcc compiler that was written in c89, but still compiled. That’s pretty sweet and very convenient for us, but the flags and the commands aren’t documented at all. So we have to spelunk through ancient scripts to find the right incantations or worse, read the code. Because who needs docs for an internal tool ammirite?
