Just my 2¢ but disagree on this one. Where GUIs are usually powerful but inflexible, the CLI is both powerful and flexible. And getting into trouble usually means you have a print on the console that tells you exactly what happened and what concept or command to look up.

Matter of opinion and goals I guess, but if you want to understand git as a tool I recommend learning the CLI.

The other reply you already got pretty much sums up how I feel about Merkel, not a fan exactly. But I'd like to add one specific thing she has my respect for.

During the refugee crisis of 2015 there was a point where her side of the political aisle was approaching hysteria. There were hundreds of thousands of people streaming into the EU from all over the middle east and north Africa, crowds at every major train station and border crossing, normal refugee infrastructure way beyond the point of collapse. So conservatives were starting to seriously argue for the suspension of asylum rights, closing borders, etc. And Merkel was usually one to wait stuff like this out, see what possible consensus forms and then adopt it as if it was her idea all along. But not this time. She saw it starting to gain traction, just came out publicly and said "We will manage this", and that was that for her. Discussion died immediately.

I may not respect much of what she did before or after, but taking that stance at that moment as clearly as she did, that I respect her for.

Read the policies yourself

I suggest reading this diff to the FAQs instead, paints a much clearer picture:

Basically removes all the language about not selling data and some about privacy. Down in the comments someone argues this is due to a narrow legal definition of that language in certain jurisdictions, but that couldn't sound more like an empty excuse if they tried. Actually all the reactions from Mozilla I have seen on this so far sound like pure corpo PR bullshit to me.

Seconded, best history channel on Youtube that I know of. Only downside is that there are months between episodes, which isn't surprising though given the in-depth analysis presented in each.

In these kind of tech forums, I found that a lot of users don’t truly grasp how tech illiterates can be

And of course there is an XKCD about this: Average Familiarity (2501)

Title text:

How could anyone consider themselves a well-rounded adult without a basic understanding of silicate geochemistry? Silicates are everywhere! It's hard to throw a rock without throwing one!

TPM is the Trusted Platform Module, a security chip in computers that can be used to verify the integrity of the boot process. Windows 11 requires a TPM 2.0 chip, which many older computers do not have. Windows 11 non-TPM is a pirated version with this requirement hacked out.

You and i read different things.

Apparently we did.

I hated how he worded them, but his arguments at greppable and understandable are valid arguments that go beyond rust and if he can read it or not or refuses to.

I'm failing to see how Rust code is not greppable unless you don't speak Rust.

Mixing languages in a part of a project brings complexity and is often a huge ass nono because it makes things unreadable and hard to manage on a large scale.

An argument which I would acknowledge, but if the decision to do this has been made by the group it still is weird to see it blocked by an individual.

He also argues that a c interface exists to connect 2 parts of a system. The person that changes the interface should not have to alter the users of that interface, [...] So if he changes the interface, the rust team will need to fix it, specially since they are the minority.

Nobody asked Hellwig to do this, in fact Krummrich said several times they would maintain the interface consuming the C code themselves. They just want one common interface for all Rust drivers, instead of replicating the same code in each driver. Which Hellwig never gives a substantial reply to.

That also doesnt mean he can change it in whatever way without worry, it is an interface change, that needs discussions and approvals ahead of time ofc.

Again not how I'm reading that thread. As Krummrich put it:

Surely you can expect maintainers of the Rust abstraction to help with integrating API changes -- this isn't different compared to driver / component maintainers helping with integrating fundamental API changes for their affected driver / component, like you've mentioned videobuf2-dma stuff.

How do you figure?

The only two "technical" arguments I could see were firstly that code should

[remain] greppable and maintainable

which unless I'm missing something boils down to "I don't speak Rust", and secondly that

The only reason Linux managed to survive so long is by not having internal boundaries, and adding another language complely breaks this

which unless I'm missing something boils down to "I don't speak Rust", because ain't nobody trying to add any other languages to the Linux code base.

Surely this can't be the "decent technical reasoning" you are referring to? I have to admit I don't follow kernel development that closely, but I was under the impression that integrating Rust into the code base was a long discussed initiative having the "official" blessing of the higher ups among the maintainers by now, so it seems odd to see it opposed in such harsh terms by a subsystem maintainer here:

I absolutely support using Rust in new codebase, but I do not at all in Linux.

Are they serious, like showing images of Musk doing this is unlawful?

Potentially, which I guess might have been the entire point. The ZPS is no stranger to provoking law suites, and since Musk did this in the US this might be their attempt at baiting the German jurisdiction to take a stance on it.

That said the article you linked says the police talks about having an "Anfangsverdacht" (initial suspicion), which basically means "we have heard about it and will look into it".

Rate mal. Du hast 3 Versuche. Auflösung aber frühstens morgen, das Bett ruft.

Das war eine rhetorische Frage. Glaub ich dir schon das Leute dem Musk aus politischem Opportunismus beispringen würden.

Bekannter Troll? Das war mir jetzt natürlich auch neu. Gibt es dafür eine Quelle?

Hier, ich bin die Quelle. Aber gut ich beiße mal.

Ob Elon Musk da bewusst gehandelt hat, ist übrigens umstritten.

Von wem, den Blinden?
