This response is entirely unhelpful. Yes. Fuck nazis. I get it. This adds nothing. Nazis are bad, but we must coexist with them, lest we round them all up and get rid of them, which isn’t gonna happen. If it were that easy, we’d have done it already!

I agree in principle, but you’re not going to win any battles with that mindset. They’ll just respond with “so much for the tolerant left”. Victimization is a beloved pastime for them.

Sure, up to the point where they harass someone or attack them, or have a history of doing so. A belief of “I think some people do not deserve to exist” is different from a belief of “People should be allowed to X” or “People who Y should not be harassed”. A nazi sympathizer who thinks nazis shouldn’t be attacked is fine, a nazi who attacks others is not.

I’ve been using Ubuntu for years and I like KDE, so I’m using Neon. Ubuntu is familiar, easy to fix, easy to find out how to fix, and neon doesn’t come with snaps.

Waypipe?

Yes, except online exams. The online spyware they make you install for those is designed not to work on a VM or anything like that. I had to keep a barebones windows partition around just for that.

You’re welcome! I’ve had to do that exact process more than once, so I had a sneaking suspicion you weren’t quite up shit’s creek yet.

Live boot Linux, install testdisk in there, and try to see if it can find it. It’s probably still there.

Either windows’ or windows’s is correct, actually. The reason is because of exactly words like “Windows”, if you use the former, it sounds like it’s a possessive of more than one window, but it’s a possessive of a proper noun, Windows. The latter is more correct in this case because of that. (it’s also pronounced that way!)

Yup. All of that is true. It also protects you from yourself by preventing you from making changes outside of the home directory so you can’t hose your system accidentally. It’s intentional.

I didn’t attribute it to malice, I said that the OP’s post is correct that Christoph’s stance is hardline and a complete showstopper for the R4L project. His reasoning is likely one of pragmatism, by the sounds of it, and it’s reasonable, but I simply don’t agree given Rust’s history as a language used in a codebase historically using another language (Firefox). The success stories there are already written, the language has developed with that in mind already. He’s not being ridiculous or malicious, he’s just being conservative and playing it safe, but that still gets in the way.

Yeah…until Christoph replied and confirmed what Hector was saying was true and not FUD. He didn’t mince words, he said he did not want Rust in Linux whatsoever, only for new codebases, not existing ones like Linux.
