johnny22··on Patrick Stewart taught us what good men do with power
reagan?
johnny22··on How close can pure functional programming get to C?
saying it "beats a crate that has been downloaded X times" is not saying anything other than that is popular. It'd be nice to see slightly more detail there.
johnny22··on Jailbreaking the Switch 2
> but I think it demonstrates how widespread Switch piracy was.

You only demonstrated how easy it was to acquire and use. You did not demonstrate how widespread it was.

johnny22··on Chrome and Edge are removing XSLT: what breaks and what does not
i think xhtml happened before the wider world of web devs were ready for it. Component based architectures took longer to be adopted than I certainly expected.

It might actually work if reintroduced these days as long as we can consider many components to be valid documents.

johnny22··on Xwayland 26.1.0 rc1
they wrote a whole DE from scratch. It's gonna take awhile for it be up to snuff for everything.
johnny22··on libexpat now funded by the City of Munich for up to 6 months
they are gonna pay for software either way.
johnny22··on Codeberg Divides
his personal stance did not lead to anybody being excluded though.
johnny22··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
i assume it's because of all the built in tooling that node doesn't ship with.
johnny22··on How GitHub gave every repository a durable owner
that's exactly the kind of thing that would cause another xz-like attack or all the recent credential stealing malware .. except you can skip the malware part a lot of the time.
johnny22··on OpenMandriva: Statement regarding attempted distribution sabotage
expected? how often? We've had 30ish years of history on it it, and such things have been really rare.
johnny22··on Vite+ Beta
you missed the monetization phase. It was already attempted before they were acquired by cloudflare.

The goal was to sell a tool that integrated all parts of vite and oxc ecosystem (oxlint, oxfmt, vite, vitest, etc) in one place.

That stopped right before official cloudflare acquisition announcement.

johnny22··on Supreme Court upholds broad conception of birthright citizenship
Their populations will follow the same pattern with increased education.
johnny22··on Age verification is just a precursor to automated attribution of speech
I don't get why you would start there. Their parents probably didn't have youtube or ipads and they and/or their parents are the ones pushing it.
johnny22··on Nvidia is proposing a beast of a CPU system for Windows PCs
Reserved sounds like it would have been a better term now that I'm reading this many years later.
johnny22··on Texas woman arrested for Facebook post about town water quality
it's that texas has it's own power grid. Other states tend to share grids.
johnny22··on Copy Fail, Dirty Frag, and Fragnesia kernel vulnerabilities
and how would it get that module without network access. I'd say for network drivers specifically, this is tough one.

It would work for various other drivers though.

johnny22··on Mozilla to UK regulators: VPNs are essential privacy and security tools
I want an honest assessment on public criticism of the government in china.

Can i have a comedy tv show where i satirize government actions I don't like?

Can you point me to one?

johnny22··on As researchers age, they produce less disruptive work
It is not that simple. People spend days, months, and years going down the wrong path. They aren't so willing to give that up when something that can replace it will throw all that work down the drain.
johnny22··on As researchers age, they produce less disruptive work
nowadays? It's never been popular.
johnny22··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
for the same reason most ruby and javascript/typescript stuff is. Heck, even most python.

Most of them never got into the GPL in the first place.

johnny22··on Period tracking app, Flo, found to be selling user data to Meta
privacy legislation would just solve the problem by itself though.
johnny22··on Show HN: Holos – QEMU/KVM with a compose-style YAML, GPUs and health checks
sure has been awhile since i thought about vagrant
johnny22··on Dependency cooldowns turn you into a free-rider
glad pnpm disables those by default!
johnny22··on Age verification on Systemd and Flatpak
no it is not.. not yet anyways
johnny22··on No AI in Node.js Core
Bun has claude code generated commits as we speak (as robobun).
johnny22··on Bcachefs creator insists his custom LLM is female and 'fully conscious'
no, because a broken printer is just a broken a printer. a broken fs is somebody else's important data potentially lost forever.
johnny22··on Disappointing Phones
wifi would probably be faster than the cable.
johnny22··on The JavaScript Oxidation Compiler
a more related tool would be prettier, which also has a --write option
johnny22··on Rust in the NetBSD Kernel, and other odd decisions
the proof is right there in all the discussion about rust in the linux kernel too.
johnny22··on Oregon gave homeless youth $1k/month with no strings
The the whole thing can be summed up as "Paying taxes sucks, but if paying the taxes saves more money down then line, then we should do it"
