Critics say it would deepen divides between urbanites and commuters

Yes it will, which is why Paris needs political unification. These policies only apply to the commune of Paris, while the rest (which is the majority of urban population) still suffers bad urbanism. The divide is exploited to drive a wedge and get anti-urbanist politicians elected in the rest of Ile de France.

Edit: for a clarification this is how the urban population of Greater Paris is divided

Thank you for creating this community. I’ve long thought that the patriarchy and gendered norms harm everyone.
And that the hostile approach of some “feminist” and “men’s rights” movements are only adding fuel to the fire.

Welcome!

For a while now Linux has been better at most personal computing things except gaming. And for server uses an even longer time.

There are some specific hardware/software situations where you’ll need Windows but it’s unlikely to happen at home. Unless you have very peculiar hobbies.

So what you’re saying is that Virginia could have public transport on the level of Switzerland. I imagine it would even be cheaper since Virginia is much less mountainous.

I’m using their optimized x64v4 repos on an otherwise plain Arch. No idea about any performance difference, I just want to make sure all the CPU progress in recent years doesn’t go to waste.

Wow, good writing. A bit over the top though, a real racist idiot wouldn’t be so extremely offensively stupid.

Weakness, definitely. The range of “permitted” ideas is way too narrow.
I tend to agree with most common political stances on Lemmy, but still I feel I’m self-censoring occasionally.

Many instances intentionally want an echo chamber. Posts and comments are often deleted even if they’re not abusive, if they are ideologically opposed.

Basically none. Both are mainstream instances, not practicing any extreme moderation policy.

You might have confused lemmy.world with lemmy.ml which does have some communities with bad reputation.

There’s a huge difference between a tankie and a socialist:

• Socialist supports economic policy aimed at just distribution of resources
• Tankie supports fascist-like authoritarianism under a mask of socialism

👏

Cursor is not really anything that I feel a need to customize. It’s a pointer that changes shape according to context, and the default implementations usually do it at least decently.

TIL Winamp was still active as a project

Alpine for example uses musl, and Gentoo offers it as an option.
I don’t completely understand the benefits, my own programming experience is several layers away from inner workings of an OS, but at least some distros claim there is space for improvement.

The role of a distribution is to curate packages - select the right combination of versions and verify if it works together. Providing package repositories is also a big one, imagine if you had to compile everything on your machine yourself on every update (khm gentoo khm).

Other than that there isn’t really a lot of space for innovation. After you have a kernel, some base packages, package manager, and maybe a DE, you can install everything else yourself.
The main point of differentiation these days in on the package management side - do you want a rolling release, or a more conservative approach.

There is one point of innovation left, but it highly technical and somewhat risky for everyday users - libc alternatives. The C standard library is one of the few core packages in a distro that can’t really be replaced by the user.

And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn’t actually address the problem

Specifically for a job of Linix sysadmin, probably yes. If you can afford it do a certification, it will help you stand among other candidates with no work experience.

For other IT jobs it’s not so relevant. Linux is technically on the servers but the infrastructure is hidden from you by multiple levels of abstraction.

yes

There’s a good argument for more modular kernels (microkernels and such). That way the driver could be kept going for decades, only updating the IPC protocol as the microkernel changes through time

It’s not something that you can really experience directly as the end user. It’s a base on which other features can be built. Most obvious would be fractional scaling.
