  • A lot of people interested in tech end up watching at least one of his channels

    I don’t watch YouTube at all outside of a couple of 70+ years old personalities who do some weekly commentary (not in English or tech related).

    Zero search/feed/side-bar “consooming”.

    Slop-sumption is not unavoidable. You just need to learn how to value your time, and develop a simple objectivity/knowledgeability filter.



  • Zig is too irrelevant, both technically and adoption wise, for anyone actually relevant to be fighting over it. The number of notable Zig projects went from 3.5 to 2.5 recently 😉. Hell, Zig probably has more adoption as a build tool, than as an actual implementation language (I would take it over CMake any day of the month tbf).

    Hell, WIP languages experimenting with effect systems and/or similar next-gen concepts will probably hit v1.0 before Andrew thinks Zig is ready for a v1.0, which is in his forte, but no one should be holding their breath if they are not aware of some history and personality details. Since Andrew tagged Zig v0.1, the Rust project designed the edition mechanism, introduced three inter-compatible editions (four if you include 2015), and managed on-schedule ~66 1.n minor releases, and in the process grew into a semi-popular language impacting almost every corner of the industry.



  • You are in a thread where a user is having a problem because of the push for flatpaks, and because of some distros like Fedora crippling their packages and providing objectively worse alternatives on purpose (because they don’t want to risk RH IBM getting sued). If the user was using some sane community distro like Arch, the user would have never come to realize that such unnecessary issues even exist.

    As for flatpak hate specifically, see my ramblings here.
