Psst…You want to know about the NASA website that spells out your name in Landsat imagery.

https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/apps/YourNameInLandsat-main/index.html

A series of five satellite images showcasing diverse landscapes: an island with turquoise waters, a snowy terrain, mountainous regions with winding roads, colorful lakes, and a dry, arid area with circular features. More importantly, they spell out DAVID with their landscape images.

Re the ongoing Rust/C schism:

- I see many people who know C, know Rust, and prefer Rust.

- I see a handful of people who know C, don't know Rust, and hate Rust.
- I see almost nobody who knows C, knows Rust, and prefers C.

There's an article I like that predates this flame war. It's by someone in the third camp: https://www.sqlite.org/whyc.html . What you will notice: Hipp understands what Rust programmers are claiming. He responds to them with correct information.

The criticism I'm seeing right now does not meet that bar. I'm seeing C programmers saying Rust programmers are bad and annoying people. Some are using catchphrases from the culture war. (Did you know that Rust is a religion now?)

I know these people on my timeline are smart. But this is how stupid people think. It has no place in a technical conversation. Address the damn technology or get off the stage.

To the extent that they do engage with the technology, they are usually wrong. They're criticizing std:: for exposing kernel-incompatible APIs -- but no one is trying to put std:: in the kernel!

C is, at worst, the 2nd best choice for this project. C fans could defend their position better, and I'm sure some will.

But not the guys who are posting now. Every bad post makes them less credible, and the only posts that they make are bad.

Use of singular "they" in English predates the US's existence by at least 400 years.

I think if people can learn new non-gendered terms like "libtard", or "snowflake", then they should be able to pick up this shiny new usage of "they" (and it only has half the syllables of the other two I mentioned).

Someone should probably tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative we worked out a long time ago to breaking down the factory owner's front door and beating him to death in front of his family? I feel like they forgot.

A good way to educate non-technical people on just how bad mandated government back doors are to encrypted services is this analogy:

"Imagine the government mandated that everyone keep a spare key for their front door in a specific location, but don't worry, they'll make it illegal for anyone but law enforcement to use it so it's OK."

Kyreeth 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

@kyhwana Haha, how outlandish, no one would mandate a key be kept in a knox box near the front door

@kyhwana Srsly tho, I think acceptance would be a lot different if the mandated location were centralized, rather than being co-located with the building.

@foone The strategic need to get money outside of Google and nostalgia for the Netscape Navigator days seem to drive everything.

(TBF having a source of funding beyond Google’s desire to have nominal competitor for antitrust proceedings, is very important, and extremely difficult given how vocal a minority of users and employees are.)

Friendly reminder that if you download software updates for Fedora or AlmaLinux from London, there's good odds that your software updates are coming from an HP thin client sitting in a road box in Surrey.

This is perfectly fine, and how free software / the Internet actually works.

Context: @warthog9 and I run a managed appliance service called MicroMirror, where we take cash donations (https://en.liberapay.com/phirephly/) and use them to deploy free software download mirrors based on the cheapest hardware possible.

https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2023/05/building-micro-mirror-free-software-cdn.html

The B4SH ISP in Surrey volunteered to host one of our appliances in their network, so they donate space, power, and transit capacity for the server we ship them to just plug in. For some reason, this was the best spot for them to plug this server is. 🤷

We are up to 35 of these Micro sized download mirrors worldwide. Because these sorts of things just tend to get out of hand for me.
