I opened the topic while knowing there will be a ton of super enthusiastic and well-constructed answers. I’m not disappointed 🍿

I don’t think France tried to break E2E yet? Some political groups repeatedly submit law projects through the democratic process, but as long as it doesn’t pass I think the best we can say is that France is against.

C’mon, it’s 2025!

So often 😭

I think I was thinking about desktop apps when I answered, but I feel out of context now 😬

Isn’t it about a web engine being roughly 60MB? 😕

Sadly I kept it private because it exposes a bit of my company’s network structure (with encrypted secrets, but still…) :/

It’s not the best experience though : the pencil doesn’t work as well as in Fedora (GNOME doesn’t detect tablet mode, which only seems to affect buttons behavior) and it recompiles the kernel everytime it needs to be updated (very often, so I pinned a version).

I’d say arch is a great distro if you love to tinker a lot and/or want to learn a lot about the Linux ecosystem. If you don’t recognize yourself in previous sentence I’d probably stick with fedora 🤷

I briefly used Fedora (Gnome) on my SP7 which worked super well. Then I moved to NixOS because I’m a nerd 🤓

I recall that the Rust book is awesome, it should cover everything essential! I don’t know the other two, but rustlings probably follows the same path and might be a good sidecar for exercising :)

Good luck in your journey!

Hell? I don’t see what you mean, that’s a fairly simple concept!

https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/subtyping.html#variance 🫣🔥🔥🔥 (the table in this section sometimes haunts me in my dreams)

It also has the best learning resources I’ve ever found for a programing language, which are free BTW.

I’ve tried to found a Python course for a friend (paid or not), and I couldn’t find anything that looked close to the quality of the Rust book. Some paid online courses have to be awesome but they are all paywalled before the first relevant chapter 🤷

I moved to NixOS this year and it really felt like something new. You need to learn a little functional language for configuration (nix) and can manage your whole computer on a descriptive and reproducible way.

There is also an awesome side effect : packages (and OS configurations) are built the same way as you build your configuration. For me, it meant that it was the first time it was obvious how my distribution works and how I could contribute. It took me about one hour to submit my first ever PR to update a package : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/290710

Also note that you can experience nix (the package manager) on any distro, if you want a safe try you could for example have fun with home-manager to handle your dotfiles.

According to Wikipedia pages 14, 18, 1488, 8814 are also common Nazi’s symbols. I personally feel the birthday explanation more likely as I see a lot of people doing that (without the nerdy base 2).

But yeah, I’m not sure of anything now, if you told me a few years ago that dozens of billionaires would go full on highlander on 2025 I wouldn’t have believed you…

I have a channel on my team’s Slack were I just vent off on these kind of situations 😬

#windows-is-the-best, inspired from #gitlab-is-the-best, the chan were everyone vents off when the CI refuses to pick up workers 😅

Yeah I think the “you” in “help you navigate […]” is the key but it is way too broad. I had a quick look to the privacy notice and it seems quite reasonable. For each feature they either :

• process data locally (eg. for translations)
• anonymise it before sending it to partners (eg. affiliated searches 💩)
• store a minimal amount of information (eg. for FF account)

There is a paragraph about partners being legally binded to comply to their privacy policy, I guess this is about cloud providers? 🤷

So I hope they’ll take the time to clarify that…

I’m not that surprised, a lot of people around me dot have a clear picture of what is the relationship between MacOS, Linux and Unix is. So I suppose some of them would guess that Linux is a modern fork of Unix and MacOS based on Unix.

In France our main concern is about “Bolorisation”, which is about two billionaires owning most of the mainstream medias (including Vincent Bolloré, hence the name). We still have major independant papers but they hardly choose what’s on the public debate.

Yeah that’s what I meant by my initial message, there people still have access to somewhat reliable source of information, mostly thanks to publicly owned TV and radio, but it’s very very very fragile right now. Education to media and information would be critical to navigate this mess, but we suck at this.

That’s fair. In France law requires transparency on how you fund your campaign and sets a limit. We often have candidates who bend the rules but justice at least make it harder.

Ofc it’s hard to compare our two countries, the US is a fking continent.
