There's a significant difference of degree between "we do not immediately update" and "we use Windows 7 in 2026".
I was referring to "why don't they just automatically update all dependencies".

As for why sticking with win7, probably because it was a build machine and less overhead is much more important than security updates for such a machine?
 
Ebussy is such a clown. I remember when he said this:

and then some time later there was a gtk blog post about how they improved gtk4 font rendering by making it sharper, in the exact way that people commented about in the thread with examples comparing it to gtk 3.
 
On this episode of open source derangement, "I make github commits occasionally, give me money!"
This creature seems to have a tendency towards manic episodes.

This nigga looks like he should be playing the double bass in a smoke-filled blues bar in New York on a sleepy Friday night or something not posing with programmer troons. How the mighty America has fallen

It also somehow manages to be hated by everyone. The "right-wing" part of FOSS for being an attention whoring tranny, and the "left-wing" part of FOSS for being a former neo-reactionary from the Yarvin circle. For what it's worth, I'm not actually sure if he is, but that's the common accusation.

what the fuck kind of 16 and political ass life did xe live to start from the techie primordial chud soup and to end up a valid tgirl on xitter.com? Autism spectrum disorder cannot be that powerful
 
I am not sure if this was discussed but has but putting aside the whole cult and memory safety stuff, does anyone feel like rust is the new way for people who want to bypass or change licenses?
I noticed this when looking into that whole coreutils rewrite it uses MIT while the original coreutils uses GNU.

I agree with what you're saying but this notion has been floating around for months if not more, pretty sure it was in this very thread also. Even Lunduke was talking about how the whole rust thing seems to be about replacing GNU code with MIT code months ago in multiple videos.
 
@Null since xenforo is back in the news and I forgot to mention this when it was relevant, can't you just tell claude to rewrite xenforo in rust and relicense it however you want? just remember to prompt it to use some cleanroom method (doesn't matter if it follows it) and make no mistakes: https://developers.slashdot.org/sto...replaced-with-llm-generated-clone-re-licensed
yes, but I need a full design spec and the time to go through and test and restest and refactor every single part of the system and that still takes weeks.

Technically XenForo is "source available" and not Free Software so its subdued, but the idea of RIIR with AI seems extremely toroony. Not sure if based or niggerlicious.
