Sure, there's definitely a chance that some people reacted to the pendulum swing to the left; highlighted by (among many things?) Obama's election and marriage equality being passed.

But I think that more people were affected by these things:

The continued lack of funds allocated to education resulting in a terrible lack of critical thinking

The constant bombardment of social media

The influence of russia et al on social media

The gaming of recommendation algorithms by the far-right resulting in the pipeline to hatred

The crisis of masculinity where today's men don't feel they fill the same roles as their grandfathers, leading some to fall down the pipeline to hate

The gerrymandering of districts

Election rolls/registers being purged of historically left leaning people

USA supreme court rulings like Citizens United

Congress being so utterly out of touch with average Americans

And congress' age issue

Of course, there's many more points that people could argue about all day, and I don't think we're going to find out any real reasons here on HN. Maybe in 100 years time, if there's anyone left, the historians will be able to find the root issues.

This sort of mindset is devoid of morals and honor. Don’t fall into the this mindset trap.

Like when Trump said he is “smart” for evading taxes during the presidential debates (IIRC the first ones, not recent ones).

Oh plenty of ways probably. I expect there are perspectives out there which would have a look at our biggest questions and find them to be mundane with obvious answers but which would themselves boggle at concepts that we consider elementary.

I think economic incentives are going to get in the way of that, as is tradition. Amazon’s dev teams in charge of the retail web interface might want to make it easier to sell you more products regardless of interface but there’s always a competing VP with more influence that wants to juice their KPIs by stuffing more advertising down the user’s throat, so they drive top down decisions that impede agents.

It’s almost inevitable since everyone wants more growth and advertising is almost always seen as free money left on the table by decision makers.
I honestly don't understand what the difference is between "brigading" and "complaining about a thing on mastodon". It's not uncommon to express frustration about something/someone associated with the kernel development process, what makes this particular instance "brigading"?
Yours is a tremendously illiberal stance.

First off, he didn't "attack" anyone. The phrase "illiberal attacks" is vague. It's unclear what constitutes such an attack. This ambiguity could lead to the punishment of individuals for expressing unpopular or controversial opinions, even if those opinions don't incite violence or directly harm others.

A core tenet of liberalism is the protection of free speech, even for ideas some might find offensive. Your lack of clarity here threatens that principle.

Secondly, your emphasis is on punishment over rehabilitation. No path to reconciliation or understanding. No consideration for potential for growth or change. You seem bent on creating a system where past transgressions, however minor, can permanently impact someone's life.

You came across as the least liberal person I can think of. Hopefully I will never have to work or deal with someone with your mindset.

That's not loudly voicing an opinion. Nobody said you should "operate under the assumption". If you have a criticism to make, make it.

And we have many recent and historical examples of Germany taking human rights more seriously after WW2 than people who haven't had their whole continent ravaged by war in living memory can even fathom. That you talk of "overlords with rubber stamps" to project the ambition for private corporations to have ZERO accountability just shows me that that you live on a wholly other planet than Germans do, and that you're playing to an American audience. These laws aren't there to please non-German companies, they are here to protect Germans.

That's not my experience. Try arguing in favor of European hate speech laws, healthcare, consumer protection regulations, rent control, social democracy or anything else at odds with libertarianism and you'll get heavily downvoted both here and on US-centric subreddits.

Just last week I had to deal with the fact that my house has the wrong address in multiple databases because things changed when an interstate went in 40-something years ago. It's not a big change--main st. vs N main st. but it was enough to mess up various things. Not as much as when I moved in 30 years ago but still enough to be wrong in old town and telco records. Took me a couple of days to get a permit issued to get electrical hooked back up after a fire as a result because apparently some town clerk insisted the address wasn't valid.
Signal based libraries already don't need VDOM. It's possible that it'll allow faster reordering of elements that are already connected, but the added checks needed to see if an element is connected (need to use insertBefore if not connected) might also cause overall perf regression. The main thing is that it allows elements to be moved without triggering disconnect/connect.

> Why would anyone living in a democracy be against this?

Because the language I'm reading here doesn't mean anything.

"Researcher" can mean anything. In the US we see DOGE people rifling through government finance records, pipelining the data to the executive, for targeting of specific political interests. "Research" means whatever the present democratically elected regime wants it to mean.

"Systemic risk" can mean anything. Last month in the US, millions of "undocumented" people were walking around relatively unconcerned. This month they're all a "systemic risk" and being actively hunted down for deportation or worse.

Maybe tomorrow you become a "systemic risk," and whomever is in elected office at that time designates and funds some academics to "research" all your X/Facebook/Mastodon/whatever activity. There is a non-zero possibility in Germany that AfD will one day get to designate what "research" means and what the "systemic risks" are. How does that sound?

So it's not the least bit difficult to understand why members of a supposed democracy might think this isn't a power "researchers" should have. It's only a problem for the naïve, who suppose the future is governed by only the right people.

That doesn't really have anything to do with Rust; but with Hector's behaviour. Threatening a social media campaign to out people is completely toxic behaviour. This is a long-term contributor who is perhaps a bit abrasive, not Jimmy fucking Saville.

Other than that, it's not a binary yes/no question; no one is really against some Rust in some parts of the kernel, but which parts? How? Where? That's the big disagreement. Linus has always been fairly hands-off on these types of disagreements.

I left AWS Professional Services in 2023. Being in ProServe, I interacted with a lot of different service teams (teams that work on various AWS services) and I got a first hand view of their messaging and strategy.

Internally, Amazon/AWS has always been a shitty company for employees. But they always were somewhat innovative and long term focused. I saw things going down hill by the end of 2022. They are definitely a “Day 2” company now and not out in front of trends

As if the original RTO policies weren’t bad enough for instance, now they are forcing their “field by design” workers to be in the office 5 days a week when they aren’t at a customers site. These are the consultants (full time employees), sales, SAs etc who spend most of their time interacting with the customer and where you rarely have your internal teammates in your same office.

Before anyone asked why I worked there if I knew it was shitty. I worked remotely the entire time, it looked great on my resume and I like money. It definitely opened some doors

That's precisely what I meant with "in some cases the regulations themselves were crap". But that doesn't imply the idea of regulation is bad - it is saying that maybe voters should make their voice clear to lawmakers and parties to get stuff changed. Regulation can only be as good or bad as the voters allow it to be.

I don't keep a public blog anymore because of AI scrapers, but when I did, I did it because I enjoy writing essays and sharing knowledge, and I enjoy even more when people read and find them and find them valuable. The same is true for a lot of the software and other projects I do.

It's like any other hobby. You do it because you get value out of doing it. Making money is irrelevant. Actually, I take that back... making money would reduce the value of doing it because as soon as your goal is to make money, you're immediately constrained in terms of what you can do and how you can do it.

Arguably, I've used it only once to contribute a kernel bugfix, and I was lucky enough that my patch got accepted as is. So I found the process pretty straightforward.

Supreme Court appointments have been political for decades in the US. Sad? Yes. New? No.

Not a surprising ruling at all, and not a political one. Not a "disgusting" precedent. It is a very narrow ruling and is consistent with how these things have worked for decades. There is an impeachment process, you know that right?

> an uncommon failure of leadership for Torvalds

Exactly the point. IMHO the one and only thing that made Linux successful as a project is Linus' strong leadership - which has been criticized ad-nauseam over the years; yet it's the only thing that yields results.

So in the specific instances (like this one) where he's not decisively, unequivocally, and even harshly saying "yes" or "no" to something, the community shows a very clear incapability of reaching a decision.

Reminds me of a similar scenario that happened years ago with GVR stepping down as BDFL for Python - just after a tiresome and wasteful fight with the community's opinions.

"Community" is just a very naive ideal for me. There's a finite number of people that can do the job, and even a more finite number of people that can make a decision and stand by it.

It's a super common behavior on social media. Worrying about what the stupid people might think if they see something. It's always some hypothetical group of lower-thinking people that they worry about, even when there's no sign of them existing. I'd say it's sometimes just pretending to be concerned about harm to others to make their position seem more important and right, and sometimes a fear that other people might believe different (thus obviously wrong and even immoral) things to themselves.

The executive exists to enforce the law the legislature writes primarily to make sure the legislature isn't in charge of enforcing the laws. It's a check on the power of the legislature.

You could still have discretion with the legislature in charge of executing on their own laws. I think countries exist like that, but I don't know enough to say which.

A separate executive is not necessary to have discretion or pardons or flexibility in law. A separate executive is necessary if you want physically different human beings controlling the organizations who enforce the law (DOJ, FBI, etc)

Consider that Judges and the judicial branch of the government ALSO gets to use subjectivity and their own opinion in adjudicating cases. Another check.

The entire point of the Constitution was to put the power of a King in a bunch of different hands, and then tie some of those hands with specific constraints, and then give a couple different options on how to change those constraints over time. Leeway and discretion goes both ways, so Congress does have the ability to further constrain such discretion. A previous president tried to argue he could choose to not spend money congress told him to spend, so they wrote up a bill saying very clearly, Uh, no, if we say spend, you spend. They have that power as a check on the power of the executive. All three branches are ostensibly MEANT to be vying for power. It's an antagonistic system, like the court system. The founders loved that shit. In reality, it probably is a dysfunctional system that modern systems engineers would not like, and other countries get that "system fights and moderates itself" effect by encouraging coalitions between parties in a strong parliament. IMO those have demonstrated better stability. I'm not convinced the US would have survived getting it's whole shit blown up like the UK did.

I concur. Personally, I'd love to see all the Linux Rust effort being redirected at Redox OS.

If the Asahi team focused their efforts on Redox, with all the genius talent they they have, we could see an actually practical, usable implementation of Redox on real hardware; a potential daily-driver which would catapult the development of whole ecosystem - and that can only be a good thing.
