Only partially. Apparently Direct2D (which to be clear is different from Direct3D) is very weird and progress is slow.

slopifying his codebase.

He didn’t. That’s the point. The slop code is a self contained dependency only used for the Linux build and not part of the actual paint.net codebase. His core user group (on Windows) will never get in touch with it.

I think everybody, including him, would prefer if there was a working implementation of Direct2D for Wine.

I think the point is that the developers doesn’t want to actually review the code which they can do with a self contained dependency which they then ship on a “take it or leave it” basis.

I kind of get it and I think it’s a more responsible approach than to vibe code the core engine of their application.

That hardware requirement is something they could work on for upcoming phones.

Isn’t that France’s own fault?

Yes. So? Greenland and Iceland shouldn’t get any. Everything offered should go to Ukraine who actually want to become EU member.

That’s gonna require a substantial amount more proof than a philosophical position taken by Linus Torvalds

“Linus Torvalds used AI to fix a Linux bug” <-- literally spelled out in the headline.

1600 commits contain the word “claude” alone: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Atorvalds%2Flinux+claude&type=commits

It’s so easy to find out, yet you insist that you are right. Hilarious.

How do you figure that?

It’s literally spelled out in the submitted article as well as https://www.xda-developers.com/linus-torvalds-will-loudly-ignore-anyone-criticising-ai-code-in-linux-fork-it-or-just-walk-away/ which is prominently linked from that article. Read first, comment later, don’t downvote others just because you are wrong.

Maybe get an M2-series Mac and go all-in on Asahi Linux?

That’s still Linux with Torvalds-approved LLM generated code. If you care about avoiding LLM code, all Linux is now poisoned.

Patches welcome

the BSD’s are still a few years behind

As long as many BSD developers (especial at FreeBSD, I think it’s a lesser degree with Net and Open) are Mac users who actively reject using any FOSS BSD on desktops/notebooks and only care about contributing regarding server stuff, this won’t change.

I oppose “freely sent help” to a country/territory that opposes us in the EU. They left the EC in 1983. That’s a fact.

The Brave company is a far right hate group and Brave users are supporters of far right hate.

Fuck Brendan Eich and his henchman and all they stand for.

I think one way is to make people realize that there is a concept in copyright called Threshold of Originality, meaning that because machine generated output in itself is not creative work, it’s not copyrightable. You can do literally anything with it, the licenses attached don’t matter. The GPL is not enforceable and no proprietary EULA is enforceable.

If you really think that FreeBSD whose developers often use Macs on desktop is any different, think again. Maybe OpenBSD but certainly not FreeBSD.

Not if Denmark demands help from other EU nations to defend their non-EU territory that made the conscious decision to leave us.

And our tax money shouldn’t go to Greenland’s defense. Become member and contribute.

Greenland’s defense is managed by Denmark

Go ask Denmark then, not other EU countries when Trump comes for you, Greenland.

Still left the European Community in 1983. No amount of downvoting changes this fact.

Can you suggest an alternative?

Use Firefox, install uBlock Origin and enable all filter lists as well as https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter and install Cookie AutoDelete extension to clear number of visits to a website (for “you already read 3 free articles, subscribe now” things).

Doesn’t work everywhere but does work for The Verge and Telegraph.

When I packaged software, I did RPM for Fedora and openSUSE (because that’s what I used at that time) but out of curiosity I looked at .deb as well and boy are there weird things there.

There are many similarities between RPM and pkgbuild for Arch, so I could easily copy almost entire pkgbuilds from AUR and merely adapt a few variables but whatever the inventors of .deb concocted is crazy. Archives within archives and other stuff I actively repressed memories of.
