Yeah right. Depending on their spouse is not ok but depending on whims of a soulless corporation is ok. Do you hear yourself?

Wars are part of nature. It is inevitable. So your proposition is based on wrong assumptions.

Birth rates among liberal women in almost all developed societies suggest otherwise. Women are doing double duty and doing both badly. Women are relatively and absolutely less happier than they were 50 years ago. So I'm having hard time believing that this new norm is a win for anyone.

Islamic societies could be the only ones that will be left standing after all these nonsense we see in the west.

This issue looks partisan from the outset, but both sides push the same thing. They just use partisan justifications.

It really shows how far the HN crowd is from reality.

Not with this compatibility mess. I would trust ARM for a server/pc system, the day I can boot standard Debian Aarch64 image on them. Until then x86 it is.

I'm building Dropnote, a small tool for physical businesses.

Someone who is physically at a place can scan a QR code and leave a short message in their browser. No app, no account. Messages are asynchronous; staff reply when available. This is not live chat. It's meant for in-the-moment feedback or questions that don't justify interrupting staff or becoming public reviews.

Constraints: async only, anonymous by default, no customer tracking, messages tied to specific physical spots

Free early access until Sept 30, 2026 (+ one extra free month). No credit cards (no payments yet). I'd love to hear your Feedback. Thank you.

Django is boring in a best possible way. Rather than spending six months setting up a bunch of microservices, you spend couple weeks on Django and ship a working product. Built in admin dashboard for example is a godsend at small scale.

They only care about Java -> Kotlin integration. Not the other way around. It has been like this for a long time. Looks like an extractive relationship to me to be frank.

Europe is stuck with American tech with no real alternatives in the horizon. Europe doing an independent stack is just wishful thinking.

Genuine question to US folks: Why do you guys seem to be hell bent on keeping and welcoming large number of illegal immigrants in your country? Almost no other country does that except western ones. From an outsider’s viewpoint, current approach of letting almost anyone in does not seem to work that well.

Vanilla Gnome user here. Gnome may look like it was designed for tablets but it has a keyboard shortcut for basically anything. So you don't do much of point and clicks if you know Gnome. You can but you don't have to. It just gets out of your way as they say.

Isn't strlcpy the safer solution these days?

New comment by dingi in "Stepping down as Mockito maintainer after ten years"

dingi — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 04:07:26 +0000

A lot of OSS burnout comes from a broken assumption: that publishing code creates an obligation.

Historically, open source meant "here's code, use it if it helps, fix it if it breaks." No support contracts, no timelines, no moral duty. GitHub-era norms quietly inverted that into unpaid service work, with entitlement enforced socially ("be nice", "maintainers owe users").

Intrinsic motivation is the only sustainable fuel here. Once you start optimizing for users, stars, adoption, or goodwill, pressure accumulates and burnout is inevitable. When you build purely because the work itself is satisfying, stopping is always allowed, and that's what keeps projects healthy.

Hard boundaries aren't hostility; they're corrective. Fewer projects would exist if more maintainers adopted them, but the ones that remain would be stronger, and companies would be forced to fund or own their forks honestly.

Open source doesn't need more friendliness. It needs less obligation

New comment by dingi in "Ubuntu 26.04 LTS – The Roadmap"

dingi — Sun, 28 Dec 2025 17:53:27 +0000

I have a lot of nostalgia for Canonical. I still remember the excitement of receiving those free "ShipIt" CDs in the mail; Ubuntu 8.04 was my gateway drug into the Linux ecosystem, and I'll always be thankful to them for making Linux feel accessible back then.

That said, I find myself increasingly at odds with the direction they're taking. The whole Snap vs. Flatpak debacle is exhausting, and personally, I'm not a fan of either. I'd take a standard apt repo over containerized desktop apps any day. Seeing core applications migrate to Snaps and the recent decision to move coreutils to alternate implementations feels like a bridge too far for my taste.

There's also the creeping Proprietary integrations to consider. To be honest, this is more of a philosophical stance than a practical one. Ubuntu is still a fantastic "get work done" distro, and I still use it on my office laptop because it just works and it's the only destro that got my employer's stamp of approval.

But for my personal setup? I've moved on. It's Arch for the desktop and Debian for servers. Nothing else really hits that sweet spot of control and simplicity for me anymore.

Why bother with these obscure boards with spotty software support when you can get a better deal all around with an x86 mini PC with a N150 CPU?

Precisely. The 'hustle' culture and the fetishization of hyper-efficiency act as a catalyst for a wide range of systemic societal problems. I'm glad that I'm not part of that sphere.
