google released a quantization algorithm for kv cache and since nobody fucking understands what it does, RAM prices went down, even though demand literally didn't change at all, which at least proves that the RAM crisis has sharpened due to scalpers and price gougers. another thing scalpers don't understand: the strait of hormuz. Maybe some of you might want to take your chance here before these retarded pigs figure out how the supply chain works.

Actually he's a conservative ultralib, as you should remember from the vaxry incident.
>vim
Literal midwit trap of an editor. Instead of thinking about your editing workflow and integrating commands, to automate the most repetitive actions, it tries to solve everything with modes and command chaining.

Why would anyone in 1987+49 want a '.' command, when keyboard macros exist? And yes i know vim has keyboard macros now, but why try to make incremental improvementss to a 50 year old command set? Editing in vi is the computer equivalent of replacing your steering wheel with an arcade stick: It takes up far too much mental space, makes for very a twitchy editing session, and is frankly unnecessary.

>>33070
What is your go-to editor? What workflow do you use/would recommend?

>>33071
Emacs all the way! >>29896
Most iterations are fully programmable and the mnemonic command set still holds up. Many programming tools also have their own elpa packages, which will let you recompile your entire project in three keystrokes max.

The people complaining about key chords are missing the point, because emacs commands are designed to reduce the conceptual load of editing, not only by being modeless. Compare 'dd dd' in vi with 'C-Space, C-n, C-n, C-w': The latter sets the mark, moves, then cuts; the former cuts the entire current line each and it's one of the simpler vi commands.

Vi's chaining operators incentivize a kind of editing golf, that make you visually hunt for characters you can delete (or change!). Emacs has a few well-thought out word-oriented, line-oriented and page-oriented commands, that will become intimately familiar during use. Everything else is done by combining these distinct commands (not separate action and movement "operators").

This is what i like about emacs: Easy actions are convenient, everything else you can write a macro, a command or a mode for and there is no command/insert dichotomy to trip over (even experienced vi users are known to!).

>France has incorporated Linux desktops into its national digital-sovereignty strategy. DINUM, France’s Interministerial Digital Directorate, announced a transition from Windows to Linux workstations.

>According to an official government press release, this change is part of a broader initiative to reduce reliance on non-European digital technologies (source, in French).


>The government’s statement is notably direct. The section on workstation evolution confirms that DINUM will replace Windows with Linux systems. The press release also requires each ministry, including public operators, to develop a plan by autumn 2026 addressing desktop systems, collaboration tools, antivirus software, AI, databases, virtualization, and network equipment.


>This initiative extends beyond a standard desktop migration. France positions Linux adoption as part of a broader policy focused on sovereignty, interoperability, and reducing dependence on foreign vendors. As the announcement comes directly from DINUM, which oversees digital strategy across ministries, it holds greater significance than a local pilot or isolated administrative project.


>And as you can see, this is a big deal. It is not a leak, rumor, or unofficial plan. It is a formal declaration from one of Europe’s largest governments, explicitly designating Linux as the replacement for Windows workstations as part of a broader interministerial strategy.


>The extent of the transition will depend on ministry-level plans due later this year, but France has clearly made Linux desktops a key component of its national digital-sovereignty agenda. For now, there are no specific details about which distributions will be used, as that decision will apparently come a bit later.


So ultra rare France W?
I wish China does the same, shame how many Asians are ultra cucks to Microsoft besides North Korea obviously since they use Red Star OS.

They have been using glowbuntu for a while btw

It's surprising that more bourgeois governments aren't adopting their own national OS distros and internets. It's multipolarity time guys, everyone using Windows is so 2010s.

Amerikkka is already 10 steps ahead because the CIA put backdoors in all Linux distros decades ago.
>I wish China does the same
China banned foreign government hardware and software years ago but I suspect that HarmonyOS has NSA backdoors in it as well. All computer software is built on American hardware and American standards. If it's not bugs planted directly on the hardware then it's software backdoors all the way down because they have broken every means of encryption since the 90s. For example elliptic curve cryptography was sabotaged for decades but people only found out in 2013 because of Snowden.

>>33075
Western glowies are not that omnipotent and competent, and China has its own linux backdoors people were recently seething about though. But in the end if you are a half competent government agency you can mitigate most of the risks, the threat is more for institutions which don't spend much resources on cybersecurity

It's a good think but knowing how europe works this shit is gonna take 25 years

Wrong. Qubes OS on any compatible laptop. Install Coreboot if you're extra paranoid (unless you're afraid of actively being targeted by the Mossad, it's not worth it in 99% of cases). Use Whonix DVMs for daily browsing.
Everything you've listed probably contains some very cool security and privacy technologies, but stacking them together randomly will just make you easily identifiable on the internet, make you glow harder than an average CIA agent.
A rule of thumb for privacy/security: if your stack involves a shitton of random minor projects and custom solutions, you're probably doing something very wrong.

IDS/IPS, Honeypots, DLP, and data threat sharing mean hacktivisim is not viable.

Running frontier AI in bulk demands giant chips that create a paper trail.

Except maybe for hardware stuff.

It is the most shit work I had, it's depressing, boring and soulcrushing.

Even when you think "neat, this cool shit isn't even being used for military shit", you will be wrong and sooner or later the company will be complicit in the murdering of poor people and in the continuation of the surveillance state.

Right now I'm just a grunt in the machine and all I can think about is that I have to get out. The pay is decent so I'll just crush my soul on a daily basis so I can get out of this place, it is the first time in my life I've been able to put some money on the side so I can't get myself to quit just yet, I also need a plan.


Tech won't save us, industrial society is doomed to fail and we will have to create a communist scavenger society from the debris.

yeah i doubt we will ever colonize the moon, we might build a research outpost there but it will be like the international space station or the various antarctic research stations where people work there on contract for a few months and then return to earth because living in such an environment long-term is physically and psychologically untenable

FYI there's a constant NASA stream of the Artemis II mission

The libre software community is under full attack.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media_age_verification_laws_in_the_United_States

Pretty soon, only Android, iOS/mac OS, and Microslop will be legal. See map. Those are the states that passed laws or are proposing them to require age verification at the OS level. FreeBSD, Gentoo and Linux From Scratch will be illegal soon.

>>33053
From the map and Wiki article, Michigan and Wisconsin are considering banning VPNs (use custom proxies in Python for full-tunnel control and X25519, Poly1305, ChaCha20 and Kyber for cryptographic post-quantum protection, which is high maintenance but only do this if you absolutely know what you're doing because you can easily fuck something up). Only Mississippi and Florida struck these biometric OS age verification laws down.

My time has come, to smuggle usb thumb drives loaded with Arch across the country.

>>33054
Why did Florida turnt it down? Weren't the Christians the ones actually pushing for this?

systemd implemented age verification guess that about wraps it up for linux being the free and open operating system LOL

to all systemd apologists: we told you so

>Never going to happen to Linux. There will be forks

if it happens at the kernel level then someone will have to fork the linux kernel and whatever they call that will no longer be linux

personally i kind of hope that will happen, i hate how linux-centric the FOSS world has become and how the word linux has become sort of synonymous with free software when it's really just one project among many others. decades of obnoxious linux evangelism have gotten us to this point and i think it would be pretty hilarious and great if linus torvalds destroys the reputation of his own project by implementing kernel level age verification or merging ai-generated code into the upstream kernel and i feel like it's only a matter of time before either of those things happen and linux finally gets taken down a peg or two and stops being the flagship FOSS operating system that it never should have been.


Groundbreaking OSINT investigation shows how three decisions by individuals with undisclosed financial interests permanently altered the identity infrastructure of every major GNU/Linux distribution running systemd
https://isoc-sig.freifunk.net/systemd/systemd%20birthDate%20Merge_%20Corporate%20Filings%20&%20Governance%20Failure%20-%20TBOTE%20Project.html
>On March 18, 2026, a first-time contributor submitted a pull request adding a birthDate field to systemd's user record schema. A Microsoft employee merged it against 37 thumbs-down and 1 thumbs-up. The community submitted a revert. Lennart Poettering - who had incorporated a commercial Linux startup called Amutable seven months earlier - closed the revert without merging and locked the discussion. The entire sequence took 48 hours.
>This investigation pulled Amutable's founding documents from the German Handelsregister. The corporate filings show three equal shareholders, no outside investors, and self-dealing exemptions that let any founder sign contracts between the company and their own personal entities. All three founders were employed at Microsoft when they signed the founding deed. A hidden shareholders' agreement - referenced three times in the Articles of Association but never filed publicly - governs economic rights, IP assignment, and vesting terms the public cannot see.
>Three decisions put the birthDate field into systemd. Each was made by someone with a direct financial interest in the outcome. No one disclosed those interests. systemd has no conflict-of-interest policy, no steering committee, no community veto, and no disclosure requirements. The project that boots every major Linux distribution has less formal governance than a typical mid-size open source project.
