Open Source Software Community - it's about ethics in Code of Conducts

It's locked behind some CORS bullshit in the browser, you can thank Meltdown/Spectre for that.

To bypass that bullshit in local testing contexts, you will need to generate a certificate and private key and run all connections via SSL, or I guess abuse cloudflare.

The fact that it loads all that from a newly made browser is kind of impeccable. It just seems like a CSS compilation error from what I can see. I truly am

Tried it out, ungodly slow, yeah. But everything did indeed load, there were some font issues on my end but no ungodly errors, it even blocked ad scripts from Google in the background (not intentionally but it did do it).

Digdeeper is a retarded schizo whose opinions should be almost entirely taken with a grain of salt, he's also a pole. I don't need to deal with two retarded poles in this thread honestly

Pale Moon is an independent browser, unlike Gecko or Chromium, meaning all the flaws and spyware that are stuffed in that cannot be removed are not there

Goanna is a fork of Gecko. It's about a decade diverged, but it's still fundamentally Gecko underneath, with many of the problems inherent to that legacy.

Vaxry (aka That Hyprland Fascist, aka Literally Worse than Hitler Except for Lunduke) has made the front page with his post that "D-Bus is a disgrace to the Linux desktop":

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46278857

I foresee 99% attacking the messenger.

Crossposting this from the Hacker News thread. Crater IQ hackernews poster whinging about muh unsave language notwithstanding, Vaxry has positioned himself in a very respectable light recently. There's hardly anything more based than deciding something's shit and making your own version. Lots of turbo based software was spawned from the need to fill a personal niche, and Vaxry's hypr* suite is definitely one such project. Holding my breath for hyprsystemnotd in a few years. Big ups, liquid Vaxman.

 

[Hakase Shinonome]

Vaxry actually does shit and is funny, as opposed to the trannyfags ruining everything. Hyprland was my first Arch DE and will remain my Arch DE. I basically use the Hyprland discord for all things FOSS, really, since it’d be the only place to discuss anything I’d want to without getting bombarded by faggots.

Of course, of course, Shepherd supremacy goes without saying. I merely meant that it would be really, really funny to watch the systemd "just works" niggers get felted yet again.

Tales from the Fediverse and the greater open source community #1:


If you do not know what the general fediverse is I encourage you to check out this here. Its mainly a Alt-Left pro antifa circlejerk where anyone can make a server and communicate with other servers. Typically the most insufferable people are found here. This is a new series I am doing on here that may or may not continue

. The fediverse is a mostly leftist platform like twitter but anyone can run it. So imagine if you could run twitter on your own server and then communicate with other people running there version of twitter on there server, allowing for collaboration and communication between different "twitters" all with different rules mindsets and people. A fediblock is when you post telling others who run a server to block someone else who is running a server to say something mean or to all go to block a single person on a server like a cancelling

Or read this https://kiwifarms.st/threads/the-fediverse.118647/

Anyways because ANYONE who can self host can make a fediverse instance and then communicate with big name servers that means that well you can say anything so long as that instance does not block your request. This is what the #Fediblock hashtag is for. Targeting "Naughty" instances and users of a instance in order to let mods of all instances know and block that instance/user.


Our star tonight is a guy named Dav1d, a troll who is so good that he has entire ARTICLES about him and is considered the boogeymen of the fediverse. Quote from a blog.

A man who has a entire group of people stalking him trying to find his new accounts that he trolls on

A man whose so feared that he does not even have to be named

If you browse #fediblock you will see this man everywhere. They know his name like Hitler or Trump.


This goes on for almost a YEAR his onslaught. Destruction death and misery is all he brings

So who is this Dav1d? Well my child sit down for this.

Dav1d is a user who seemingly makes a account. Says "racial slurs", gets banned and then simply joins another fediverse instance and repeats saying it to the same person.
Except its more complicated than that. Dav1d's post appear to be mostly just satirical stuff 2016 reddit humor stuff. Never has he ever dropped a N bomb or real slur at anyone?



Is this really all it takes to be considered the literal devil and "boogeymen" of the fediverse. just some simply ban evasion and "edgy" humor?? Really?

yes.... it really is. Like its so easy to troll and farm reactions that its kind of insane that these people even exist. Dav1d is not the problem to be honest its these peoples EXTREMELY sensitive skin that allow him to farm reactions.

We have to understand just HOW bad the fediverse is. Most users that come here get banned for being "intolerant" people join thinking its a free and open source twitter but the free part could not be further from the truth.

For example mastodon.social is considered blocked on most instances for being to extreme. Why is it a extremist instance? Lets check the rules to see what horrible hate speech is allowed on mastodon.social is

nigga...
Another Instance that is blocked on alot of servers is techhub.social. Lets see what violent biogtry is on there rules page

...
So you can see how when someone that comes in like dav1d its considered the same as a holocaust. Because these people are so fucking dense that this is the worst thing to have ever been said to them.


dav1d goes to extreme lengths to ban evade that I think deserve to also be briefly mentioned. He uses vpns, dns, custom instances and everything just to troll these people. Its kind of absurd in a autistic way. Although its crazy that THIS is considered the "One who shall not be named" ahh guy. No N bombs, no slurs, literally just the most bland "edgy" humor is considered a threat to there entire way of life. Dav1d is a prime example of how easy it is to troll on the fediverse

I like Vaxry's digs at the Rust crowd.



Yeah, not a fan of TWMs (skill issue) or Hyprland's focus on looks, but I can't help but admire the fact that a single dude can say "fuck you all, you suck" and make something that's apparently not only good enough to attract significant interest and adoption, but almost become a standard of its own.

To be honest. The fact that hyprland is my wayland compositor of choice is probably why I think wayland is fine. I use hyprland, and it works for me just as well as the xorg window managers I use.

Also I disable xwayland any time I use wayland. So if I am running wayland I only use things that fully support it. I did it originally because I don't like the idea of running a separate xorg session while I'm already running a graphical session. But I wonder if that is also why I have skipped a lot of issues. It doesn't let programs that have the choice choose their xorg version inside the wayland session. And ones that don't support wayland just don't work, so I pick something that supports it natively to use in its place.

Now if I was a foot fag, or a kde user, I don't know if I would feel the same way about it. But fortunately I'm not.

TL;DR hyprland works well. But most people trying wayland are doing so with a desktop like kde or gnome. And both of those suck even on xorg.

Some rather key context, that you don't see issues because you have tailored your entire system to a configurations that explicitly avoids everything wayland can't do well. Literally anyone who tried to use wayland in a full desktop environment will have issues.

 

[prollyanotherlurker]

Some rather key context, that you don't see issues because you have tailored your entire system to a configurations that explicitly avoids everything wayland can't do well. Literally anyone who tried to use wayland in a full desktop environment will have issues.

It wasn't explicitly tailored to avoid things wayland can't do well. It was tailored to do the things I do with my computer. It's not like I completely change what I'm doing when I open a wayland session instead of an xorg session. I just use wayland versions of programs like dmenu, and I do the exact same stuff I did before.

Besides that. It's not just "tried wayland" it's not like xorg, where xorg is just xorg, and you put some desktop on top of it. So it's completely dependent on how well that desktop or wayland compositor has done. They will almost all do the same things, and implement the same protocols, but they are not the same thing. It's a fundamental difference between what wayland is, and xorg. If a desktop is complete shit on xorg, and others are fine (most of them are still shit, there are only a few I think are actually solid), it's a problem with just the desktop. But if you use wayland with gnome, or kde, the wayland session is a part of gnome or kde. So speaking in broad strokes about it doesn't really work. Because the wayland someone tries, using a gnome wayland session is literally a different "wayland".

Like gnome's is probably the worse way to use wayland that I know of. KDE has always been a buggy piece of shit since the beginning of time, so I wouldn't want to use it even if they did a better job than gnome, which maybe they have pulled off. But the more reliable desktops are pretty far behind those two. Particularly xfce, and cinammon. Which are the only two I think are worth a shit. Both of them still need a good bit of work before I see either switching to wayland by default. I imagine it will be a few years at least. Also cosmic, the last time I tried it was still in alpha. Although I've heard it's gotten better since I used it last. I would still say even if it's in beta at this point it's probably better to use a normal xorg session on xfce or cinammon if someone wants a full DE until either of them are ready to make the move over. Also I've heard some people like lxde, and lxqt. I've tried them. I wasn't impressed when I tried them in the past.

It’s gotten to be Gnome but not total dogshit. Installing Gnome apps even allows for your Cosmic theme to be integrated into it. I’m actually quite interested in trying it out.

The troon behind the Rust 'bincode' crate rewrote the git history only to change his name. When Reddit found out, he got 'doxxed'.

Yesterday he made a Reddit post announcing 'Bincode development has ceased permanently':

Due to the doxxing and harassment incident yesterday, the bincode team has taken the decision to cease development permanently. 1.3.3 is considered a complete piece of software. For years there have been no real bugs, just user error and feature requests that don't match the purpose of the library.

This means that there will be no updates to either major version. No responses to emails, no activity on sourcehut. There will be no hand off to another development team. The project is over and done.

Please next time consider the consequences of your actions and that they affect real people.

Summary by Reddit mod:

Let's stop the drama right here, right now.

Timeline of previous events:

• 4 months ago: bincode was migrated from GitHub to SourceHut, and OP chose this migration to also switch their names in the git history.
• Days ago: the strange switch was discovered, contact attempts were made, but existing had been closed.
• Yesterday: a post calling out the situation appeared on r/rust, folks started investigating whether a hostile take-over was happening, and some users went too far, disclosing real identifies & addresses1 .
• Yesterday (a few hours later): a moderator locked the post, and wiped out the doxxing comments1 .

1 I unfortunately only logged in after the battle myself, so never saw the comments the myself; I'll take my co-moderators word on this.

The removed 'doxxing' post: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1pmw2c0/removed_by_moderator/
Here is an archive:


This is the first thing the bincode developer said:

The fact it took y'all this long to notice is a real indictment of the Rust communities diligence when it comes to dependencies. Jesus Christ.

TRVKE
Proof it's easy to get malicious code in important Rust crates without anyone noticing for months. 'Safe' language right?

This just in: Rust troonies can't help but ACK themselves and their projects at random. In other news, water is wet.

Tranny rage-quits and abandons his project and everyone that depends on it.

Example 19235542345 of : never depend on troon-ware. Any support/bugfixes/new features suddenly ceasing is always just a random rage-quit away.
And since troons never get along with other people, there will never be anyone to take over when the troon rage-quits.
