Linus Torvalds Begins Expressing Regrets Merging Bcachefs
  • The article is not about which filesystem to use or not, but about the size and contents of the patches submitted in relation to bcachefs. It seems that the submitted changes which should have been just fixes also contain new functionality. Though it is very nice to see how active and enthusiastic the development of bcachefs is, mixing fixes with new functionality is hard to review and dangerous as it can introduce additional issues. Again, while I appreciate Kents work, I understand Linus' concerns.

  • Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?
  • The sentiment is similar to climate change deniers.

    I don't think that the survival of humankind potentially depends on the adoption speed of Wayland. If anything ever breaks, it will affect only a few individuals which can then still change course.

    There are a lot of people using hardware from the last decade. I would even dare to assume that most Linux desktop users do, because that's how you still can get the most out of old hardware.

    I have an old tower which I sometimes use for light gaming. It runs X11 because Wayland had some issues on this specific machine. I don't remember which and don't really care to investigate unless it becomes necessary. Until then I'm just happy when I have a little time to use it. And that works perfectly for my needs. For now

  • Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?
  • I don't think it's a revolt. Why would they put effort into changing something which works for them with the risk of breaking things? They also wrote "knowingly" which probably means that they won't have an issue with a switch if their distro manages to make a seamless transition.

    Some people just want to get their stuff done, without diving into technical details. And as long as that works for them, they won't actively change anything.

  • 2 Billion Downloads & Other Milestones from 2024 So Far
  • Thank you for acknowledging the positive development. It's so nice to see some appreciation for the effort put into solving our issues. I'm so tired of all the complaints and outrage about this or that solution, be it flatpak, appimage, snap or whatever.

  • Mali cuts diplomatic relations with Ukraine after terrorist attack
  • Those are mercenaries, not volunteers. Mercenaries will fight for money and for who pays most. They won't be generally motivated by high ideals. That type of person, no matter which nationality, won't fight for their country because it doesn't pay. Within this context, your original comment is highly misleading IMO.

  • Helicon on Bandcamp

    I just received this message from a band I like, on Bandcamp. I hope that posting it here doesn't violate any rule. It's also an interesting insight on what kind of influence corporations like Meta have on small bands.
