> Once you understand how to write a program get someone else to write it.

Pretty relevant with LLMs and coding agents.

> A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.

Great definition actually

My framework 16 has a QMK firmware and can be remapped with complex setups.

But I didn't find any cool use case for it, what do you use it for ?

Like a sibling comment said, at least you can be sure that updates you will download are provided by the same entity, since the repositories are signed.

Yes, it is worse because using your package manager trusts your distribution (and the packages packager), doing curl bash trusts a random website.

While in this case docker is not a random website, it's best to use the package manager when available

It's the publisher that enabled Turnstile.

I'd say it's usually on the packager (or caller) because specying privileges depends on the platform you run on, which is better known by the packager or caler

New comment by LelouBil in "It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12"

LelouBil — Fri, 29 May 2026 21:30:49 +0000

You know they have a framework 16" ? And the keyboard of the 16 is running customizable firmware so you can have your layout switch key and whatever else you want ? It has 6 usb-c ports, that are the other end of the extension modules

I bought it two years ago, I like it, but I still think it's too expensive for the actual hardware, but I liked funding the mission as well as receiving a product that I liked.

Very important info: https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/05/28/microsoft-0-...

In the linked Microsoft blog post, they say :

> The details of these vulnerabilities were not shared with Microsoft prior to release, and the disclosures put our customers at unnecessary risk.

So are they lying ? Why would Nightmare-Eclipse not report them if they are not ?

It's a very weird situation

The words "Statically Typed" and "Haskell" made me click on something lisp related for once.

I just started trying Meshtastic last month, there's nobody doing it in my city so it's just me giving esp32s to friends to try to make a mesh, but I'm getting into range limitations because I don't know enough people to bridge some gaps !

I even tried changing the radio preset to Very slow Long for example, but I didn't really get better range, I don't know why.

New comment by LelouBil in "Flatpak Next: Dropping Systemd and X11? [video]"

LelouBil — Wed, 27 May 2026 18:09:45 +0000

For people who don't want to watch:

This is basically about one developer that is unrelated to Flatpak, having received tons of questions about Flatpak Next because people mistook him, and he decided to troll those people by saying Systemd would be mandatory and X11 would be dropped, while never saying he was NOT a Flatpak developer.

Actual Flatpak Next talk is here: https://www.youtube.com/live/1AXBfsiaQNk?t=16218
