Ubuntu to replace classic coreutils and more with new Rust-based alternatives

After so much terrible tech politics news, let's focus on some nice, easy-going Linux news that's not going to be controversial at all: Ubuntu intends to replace numerous core Linux utilities with newer Rust replacements, starting with the ubiquitous GNU Coreutils.

@TSchulte LOL Yep, that's why I left half of that in my sister's room, so she'll have a nice surprise when she gets home in a bit.

I found this site that lets you draw icebergs and see how they would float (joshdata.me/iceberger.html?fbc…) - I was looking for visualizations of the iceberg metaphor for behavior, how we only see 10% of what someone is really going through. It’s a great resource for that and also now I’m distracted seeing how an iceberg shaped like a cat would float.


While I feel more natural typing over handwriting, I must admit moving my journaling to handwriting has been a positive.

Less stream of consciousness writing, requiring more deliberate and slow thinking.

Walz: #Trump doesn't know how anything works. Trump is this caricature that had a reality TV show that pretended like he knew how to run biz’s. The reality is, he doesn't..

& then he tells his supporters that only he can fix it. He's the guy who goes & starts the fire & then stands there & gives directions & acts like he knows how to put the fire out

3/ Walz: Just like Elon Musk talks about entitlement programs. Those aren't entitlement programs. Those are the things keeping my mom alive. She paid into social security for 80 years. She should get that money back. And that's not what they believe

4/ Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

but what if we want to criticize Go for its philosophical shortcomings?
in reply to Irenes (many)

the company has openly stated that that's the goal, it's just they've said it in language that business majors understand and most programmers do not

we need to fucking learn. before it's too late.

(that was also the pitch behind Java, that's why all the business types got so excited about it, but Java didn't really fulfill that promise in the way Go does)



This week, the Trump administration cancelled all grant programs under the Violence Against Women Act. These grants fund most court protective order programs.

At the same time, Trump declares you are a domestic terrorist if you deface a Tesla.

Literally, a swasticar has more legal protection than a woman now.

What's with mastodon search? For example, I can't search for hashtags to find people with similar interests. Frustrating

@FediTips do you have a thought on this? Anyone else know if I'm missing something?

in reply to ts 🚉

Finding people works a bit differently on here as there deliberately isn't a central search engine (because someone nasty might take it over).

I've tried to do a guide for all the methods for discovering people to follow on here:

fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accoun…

If your server's search isn't giving you interesting results, you might want to try methods such as Fediverse directories or Fediverse groups as these methods are both server-neutral.

in reply to Fedi.Tips

thanks, but I'm still confused. One thing this page says is, "You can find a lot of interesting accounts nowadays just by typing keywords into the search box on Mastodon." But search does NOT (in my experience) search the text of a profile. Said text must be in the handle or display name - super limited.
in reply to ts 🚉

I had a look at your server's website, and it seems they don't have advanced search features installed. The advanced search requires the admin to install an add-on (called "elasticsearch"), but this costs extra so some admins don't install it.

You might want to ask your admin about this to make sure?

Because this place doesn't spy on users or run adverts, every server admin has to cover their server's costs and usually relies on donations from users to keep going.

in reply to ts 🚉

not trying to complain - I might just be too old or not tech-y enough for the Fediverse. Appreciate your help
in reply to ts 🚉

I don't think you have to be any particular age or skill level to use this place.

It can take a bit of time to get used to though as it is such a different structure. I hope I can help as the aim of my account is specifically to assist non-technical people 🙂

What's your go-to link for a NON TECHNICAL overview of the fediverse and why is it a good thing?

Maybe something like this, maintained by @FediTips?

@mastodonmigration might also have suggestions for the sort of fediverse elevator pitch you're looking for.

Next #BikeNite is this Friday at 4pm Pacific _daylight_ time (UTC-7)!

This is our weekly call for questions. Reply with any you'd like me to add to the discussion on Friday. Please add the BikeNitePQ hashtag so it's easier to find a Proposed Question. There is room for more. I know there are some questions that have already been submitted since last week, and I will be adding them before Friday's BikeNite.

(BikeNite is a Q&A type discussion on the Fediverse.)

the answer to that question is A LOT. On Epsteins plane there were plenty. On the island there were plenty. And he surrounds himself with them.

And he absolutely LOVES Andrew Tate.

@deepmud I just read that the White House has ordered the FBI to halt all background checks of aides and WH personnel, so we can assume there are pedophiles, predators, and probably spies too, inside the White House. 😱




It is a REALLY good idea to write an introductory post about yourself and pin it to your profile. Pinned posts appear at the top of your profile page, and they also have a special ability to federate much more widely than ordinary posts.

It's very quick and easy to do:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-pin-my-post…

Here's why it matters: there's a quirk on Mastodon where some profiles may appear blank to people on some servers, but profiles with pinned posts never look blank to anyone!

I wonder if instead of trying to fetch all posts and storing them on the local database, there could just be a more robust solution to interacting with posts on other instances and then when you click on a profile, it can just go to their instance or it embeds the post view from their instances like news articles embed social media posts.

Similarly when you click on a post it just embeds what the replies in the author's instance look like. Though at least the not seeing all replies issue is getting fixed by other means
