Doing something distro-specific in an install script for a single binary seems a bit overcomplicated to me, and definitely not something I want to blindly pipe into my shell.

The bun install script in this post determines what platform you're on, defines a bunch of logging convenience functions, downloads the latest bun release zip file from GitHub, extracts and manually places the binary in the right spot, then determines what shell you're using and installs autocompletion scripts.

Like, c'mon. That's a shitload of unnecessary stuff to ask the user to blindly pipe into their shell, all of which could be avoided by putting a couple sentences into a readme. Bare minimum, that script should just be checked into their git repo and documented in their Readme/user docs, but they shouldn't encourage anyone to pipe it into their shell.

You've either fallen for the propaganda, or you're purposely being dismissive of the efforts currently taking place. Either way, your participation in this discussion is not helpful.

I see this sentiment a lot. "Why aren't Americans doing anything? Why aren't leftist militias rising up to take back the capital? Etc. Etc. Etc."

First of all, asking "why aren't Americans doing anything" is a highly unaware question. We are doing things, but they aren't going to give any airtime to the protests, marches, boycotts, and legal efforts taking place, because the media is now firmly on the side of those with power, not the common people.

Second of all, it's pretty heartless of you to just casually ask us to "exercise the second amendment", because when you ask that, you're asking for at least some of us to die. Put yourselves in our shoes, and be honest - if you were in our position, would it be so easy and casual to just pick up a gun and join a violent revolution? Would you be willing to risk death in that situation? Personally, I'm not a soldier, I've never had an interest in guns, I'd be less than useless in that capacity. So I'm looking at other things we can do before escalating to that.

I get that everyone's scared because the nation with the most powerful military on earth is falling into fascism. That's terrifying to most Americans as well, and I think a lot of us are still frozen with that fear. I understand and agree that this problem is on Americans to fix. But I hope the rest of the world will be willing to help when we call on them, instead of just sitting idly by wondering when that magical second amendment is gonna kick in.

Or some kinky cubist's wet dream

You absolutely sit in an ivory tower when you make comments like that though. You get to absolve yourself of the responsibility you're trying to lay at the feet of Americans who are also suffering (and who, I might remind you, the majority of which did not want Trump in office) merely because you have the privilege of living somewhere else.

I can't control that I was born here, I can't control that I can't leave here, and I can't control that the system is so fucked that I'm basically powerless to change it. Don't act like you're better than me because you were lucky enough to be born into (or privileged enough to move into) a better country with a better system. If you do, I have every right to say you sit in an ivory tower.

The main point though is that this stupid blame game helps no one and just further divides the people getting fucked. Climb on down from your ivory tower and try a word of encouragement instead, or if that's too much for you, just don't say anything. Whatever you do though, please stop driving the wedge further between the people getting fucked, because that's exactly what the assholes in power want.

Oh yeah that'll surely fix everything, for all the people that didn't want Trump in office to take responsibility for Trump getting into office.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe instead of berating us from your ivory tower (which I'm inferring from your comment is an ocean away), that maybe extending a helping hand would be more productive?

I don't know a single lick of French but somehow my brain knew this is the intro to Foux Da Fafa, a song I haven't listened to in over a decade

Great explanation, but I have a tiny, tiny, minor nit-pick

Basically what he said is incoherent to anybody who has worked with larger data.

I'm being pedantic, but I disagree with your wording. As a backend dev, I work with relational databases a ton, and what Musk said wasn't incomprehensible to me, it just sounded like something a first year engineer fresh out of college would say.

Again, the rest of your explanation is spot on, absolutely no notes, but I do think the distinction between "adult making up incomprehensible bullshit" and "adult cosplaying as a baby engineer who thinks he's hot shit but doesn't know anything beyond surface level stuff" is important.

I promise you you'll have a much better time here when you realize that we're not all out to get you, and are all actually on the same side. Treat people like that, and most will return the favor.

No, come on now, don't do that. Don't sit here and claim you were just "asking for clarification". We can all see the thread, we can all see how much snark you injected into that comment and the follow up replies. You weren't just asking for clarification, you were belittling someone you thought did something "wrong".

Please let me give you a bit of advice, if I may. Try and remember that pretty much everyone is suffering right now, and that a kind word goes a long way. Lead by example where possible, rather than trying to force people down a certain path. And try not to get too riled up if people don't follow your lead, because not everyone will.

I downvoted because you didn't add anything to the conversation. Do you know what Dellinger can do now that he's been reinstated? If so, tell us. If not, find out and tell us. If you don't want to find out, that's ok too, but in that case you don't have to say anything. The route you chose did nothing to further the conversation, it just ended in you browbeating a fellow citizen for making a desparate plea in a desperate time.

The one I've always liked is "the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is... about a billion dollars"

So, I happen to have friends that live in Lakewood, and from the sound of it, you just might live in a different Lakewood than them. Lakewood is economically similar to the majority of other suburbs of the major Ohio cities, and seeing as I also live in one of those suburbs, I can assure you that you're lucky to be paying what you're paying in rent, even for a studio apartment.

You pay $500 less than the average American for rent. I think you may be lacking the perspective necessary to engage productively with this topic.

And cut into their Lemmy time? Inconceivable!

Maybe frozen broccoli

If the government cant handle "online stuff" they can pitch privatization.

It kind of already is privatized. Most of the government's cyber security efforts are handled by defense contractors.

To make settings inaccessible on purpose or even alienate people deemed "too stupid" for them is called Tech Paternalism, and it fucking sucks.

You're referring to Windows Registry right?

C'mon man, this is just a textbook fallacious slippery slope argument. Rust isn't some brand new language whose stable release was less than a year ago, it's over a decade old now. Scheme and Lisp are interpreted languages for God's sake, it's borderline* impossible to use them for kernel programming.

Also I'm pretty sure the whole point of the Rust project that all this drama is centered around is to keep Rust code separate from the kernel. From what I understand the whole point is to maintain Rust bindings to the kernel API as a separate project, so that if developers want to write a driver in Rust, they can without having to rewrite those bindings themselves. But the kernel code itself will still be all C code. Now I'm not a kernel developer, and the last time I wrote a driver was for my operating systems class in university over a decade ago, so take that with a grain of salt.

I say borderline because anything is possible with code if you're creative enough, but anyone trying to submit Scheme or Lisp code to the Linux kernel is gonna get laughed off the Internet
