I joined a month ago, and I like Lemmy much much more than Reddit. The federation makes it visible that you're part of a large community, there's no advertising, and I find the discussion to be of a generally higher quality. I also like that one can see upvotes and downvotes. Not sure whether it needs to be fuzzified or embargoed to fight abuse in future, but either way, it's nice.

I'm absolutely sold on Lemmy vs Reddit. I dumped Twitter when Musk took over, and by then I was already on Mastodon, but I don't actually use it much. Didn't use Twitter much either. Any comments on Mastodon vs Bluesky?

"How do we know it wan't criminal" isn't how presumption of innocence works.

Following publication, Miller has been in touch to tell us that he has no plans to abandon sudo, or even hand it off, but he suspects change is still on the horizon for the essential tool.

"While I don't expect to maintain sudo for an additional 30 years, I also don't currently have someone to pass the torch to," Miller told us. He noted that the xz utils backdoor has made him hesitant to hand it off to someone he doesn't know, and that he "feels responsible for sudo" after having spent so long as its lead dev and maintainer.

Unfortunately, a lack of financial backing means sudo work has ground to a glacial pace.

"Since I have limited time I've mostly been focused on fixing bugs and cleaning up the code base rather than adding new features," Miller said. "As a result the amount of time I spend is heavily influenced by the bug reports I receive."

Funding or not, Miller expects sudo-rs to become the next generation of the tool in coming years.

"Ubuntu is already shipping sudo-rs as the default sudo command in their latest versions," Miller told us. "I've been in contact with the people working on sudo-rs since the project started and I trust them to do right by the sudo user base."

Regardless of what happens, Miller agrees the sudo situation he's in is yet another example of how open-source maintainers is putting the entire computing community in a bind.

"Without some form of assistance it is untenable," Miller said. "Maintainer burn-out is real."

I just wish I could have AfterStep's mini desktop pager in a modern window manager. It was so cool seeing an overview of my virtual desktops next to each other and being able to drag windows from one to the other without switching desktops.

Username is relevant?

Holy clickbait title, Batman!

pip is the most unreliable package manager I’ve seen,

But have you tried conda? (It's so much worse)

Only one of {gay; straight; trans; cop} is a choice.

There's no such thing as a "defensive shot" at a moving vehicle. Your bullet isn't going to stop a car. All it does is to change a guided vehicle into an unguided vehicle.

That's why US law enforcement agencies have policies that one should only shoot at someone in a moving vehicle if they would be an imminent danger to others if allowed to flee.

Billionaires spending craptons of money convincing poor people that even poorer people are their enemy is never good for the world.
