[23:07] DaemonFC A 9-0 decision upholding Freedom of Speech. [23:07] DaemonFC mjg59_ must be a sad panda. [23:08] DaemonFC It stands to reason that if Mr. GULAG wanted the cops to be able to arrest someone for saying trannies are weird, he would love the court to tear apart Section 230. [23:10] DaemonFC Section 230 being reversed would open up a Pandora's Box. The lawsuit against Twitter is just an unusual case because of course who doesn't feel sympathy for the victims of ISIS terrorists? But if you get rid of Section 230 completely, it becomes so dangerous to run an Internet/Web company or service in the United States that an entire industry dies. [23:11] DaemonFC Not just industry, but it becomes dangerous to even self-host something, including an IRC server or a Mastodon instance. [23:11] DaemonFC Section 230 pretty much gives you immunity from the actions of your users as long as you are taking reasonable steps to try to get rid of unlawful conduct.

[23:12] DaemonFC The only "advantage" Clang has is that it doesn't compel anyone using it to keep it as Free Software. So that's an advantage for abusive entities. [23:13] psydruid I find Clang easier to hack on, but it has ridiculous memory requirements [23:13] DaemonFC The actual binaries it creates are just fucking weird sometimes. [23:13] DaemonFC To get something truly fucking weird out of GCC, you usually have to use it with some rather draconian binary hardening or higher optimization levels, or both. [23:14] psydruid And GCC seems to be tested better across architectures [23:14] psydruid with Clang I always had to apply patches to get it to build on non-x86 architectures [23:14] psydruid that's "modern software development" [23:14] psydruid Rust-style [23:15] DaemonFC GCC doesn't always handle PowerPC well, but that's often the fault of the maintainers of the program. [23:15] DaemonFC Mozilla could care less if Firefox builds right on x86. So you can imagine what the PowerPC support is like. [23:16] psydruid The last time I tried to build Firefox the experience was so horrible that I haven't tried since [23:16] psydruid with multiple versions of automake and autoconf needed for various parts of the build [23:17] psydruid I don't know what kind of software engineering that is, but I don't think that's an acceptable way to do things [23:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[23:24] DaemonFC autoconf is bad when you're only dealing with a single version of it. [23:24] DaemonFC IIRC, it tests for operating systems that don't even exist. [23:30] DaemonFC https://lwn.net/Articles/834682/ [23:30] TR Bot Autoconf [LWN.net] [23:30] DaemonFC It's fixed in a git tree even though there's been no release in 10 years. -GNU [23:31] DaemonFC I think one reason that there's so much distrust of GNU is that they're not good about pushing out released versions sometimes and telling people to use that. [23:31] DaemonFC And if they do, they're really bad about breaking something important and not caring that they did. [23:32] DaemonFC Linux has some problems, but at least they push out versions and it's not exactly some "Oh, go patch the shit out of this if you want it to work." and everyone does their own thing, because it doesn't tend to decay into that. [23:32] DaemonFC "Legacy GRUB" is a perfect example of GNU. [23:33] DaemonFC Every distribution had their own patches. They published the patches, but GNU said oh we're finished with that and we don't accept patches, but GRUB2 isn't ready yet. So what do you do? You end up maintaining it yourself. [23:33] DaemonFC You think you'll apply all these patches that either you wrote or you saw someone else use. [23:33] DaemonFC And now it's corrupting file systems. [23:33] DaemonFC But the patches applied! [23:33] DaemonFC Which combination of patches led to corrupt file systems? Depends on the distribution. [23:34] DaemonFC So for the longest time we were in this situation where "We're kind of sure that ext 2 and 3 are probably safe-ish." [23:34] DaemonFC "Anything else, you're on your own. Even if there appears to be code there to handle that." [23:35] MinceR 22 002435 < DaemonFC> IIRC, it tests for operating systems that don't even exist. [23:35] MinceR not as bad as cmake [23:35] DaemonFC It's why Fedora has traditionally been so particular that /boot goes on an ext file system. [23:35] DaemonFC Because it's the only thing you might be able to say confidently that GRUB won't corrupt. [23:35] MinceR which can't even find a library if its hand isn't held by a file preinstalled for it alongside the library [23:36] DaemonFC I think a lot of stuff is moving over to meson now.
