That sounds like a very smart move at the time where Europe realize the US isn't such a gray partner and it's trying to reduce it's critical dependencies on foreign nations tech and infra. Good job. I'm actually very surprised to see this from the germans who have this reputation of great engineering culture

I don't think it is. There are many many cases where you do want to own them. The people you rent yours from are making a shit load of money so it doesn't sound that bad of an idea

Why does every tool on the face of earth try to add AI features ? Good tools are simple and orthogonal. If you want AI, there's already plenty of other tools doing it probably better.

I'm overall fairly disappointed by this announcement. This IMHO doesn't bode well

If you had to commit to Windows quality you'd have done so a few decades ago.

Also, Linux (via Android, micro computers everywhere and the vast internet) touches way more lives then Microsoft.

At this point in the article I realized I didn't care one bit and stopped reading

Yeah that's still very far away from FAANG repos

It checks out if you take into account most developers are actually rather mediocre outside of places where they spend an insane amount of time and money to get good devs (including but not limited to FANG)

I repeatedly tried to use LLMs for code but god they suck. I've tried most tools and models and for me it's still way faster to write things by hand.

I'm a magical tool, it's almost like if I knew what I wanted to do ! Don't have to spend time explaining and correcting.

Also, a good part of the value of me writing code is that I know the code well and can fix things quickly. In addition, I've come to realize that while I'm coding, I'm mostly thinking about the project's code architecture and technical future. It's not something I'll ever want to delegate I think.

I'm one of those person who were extremely pissed. I've stuck with older phones for a long time to avoid the thing.

The USB to Jack things are brittle and low quality. That's yet another stuff to not lose and carry around.

Jacks just work. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

It's also buying WaPo and altering their editorial make up

I live and work from a van part of the year and am perfectly fine with a 4g router almost anywhere save some mountain climbing spot, so there's really no need for me. I pay about 30€ and get about 250GB when in France and 30GB whenever I enter a new country so I'm not lacking considering my usage, but thank you

I have no opinion whatsoever yet on SolidQueue, but I'm having a blast with good job. Stuff works pretty well.

Regardless of the price and the data, I'd never subscribe to this service due to the owner. I'm looking forward for alternatives from a more neutral vendor

Welcome friends ! It's been a pleasure visiting you as (distant) neighbors and it's even better to have you as partners. That's one great piece of news to start the year on a good note !

git can be seen as porcelain on top of patch quilting so it's not as much done âge as one might think

New comment by lta in "Debian's Git Transition"

lta — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 20:13:44 +0000

It's worth mentioning the quilting approach likely predates the advent of git by at least a decade.. I think compatibility with git has been available for a while now and I assume there was always something more pressing than migrating the base stack to git

Yup. Took wayyy longer than I actually expected as well. But the change of top management and closer integration with the whole MS behemoth is likely to make those kind of things accelerate now
