>canonical rewriting core utils in rust probably just to change the license to mit or bsdgnu/bros are we losing?
GNU coreutils are themselves GPL rewrites of BSD coreutils
>>106743452>computer was invented almost a century ago>some cranky old text only interface is still big newsI hate this timeline
>>106743452There is nothing wrong with that, but Canonical can bait and switch anytime. Do you trust that their coreutils will be free software forever?
>>106743452canonical didn't rewrite anything themselves, and the license change doesn't make a difference to them.maybe pick a "sport" you understand!
And let's not forget that Canonical has never been about your freedom, but instead pragmatism and the sake of convenience
>>106743513Anything worthwhile is text only. There's a reason our best attempt at human-like AI is a language model. There's a reason all programming is text-based.

>>106743452Canonical putting amazon spyware + ads in the OS already disqualified them. Snap with a proprietary back end sealed the deal. Avoid this anti user company.
>>106743534This is the critical point.>canonical changes tools and they generate dependency of it.>time passes>people forget >suddenly, a license change imposes those tools as closed source and proprietary (spyware, bloatware).I see a future where Canonical does the same thing Google did with Android: they start a “good faith” initiative to “embrace open source”, they generate user dependency, and now with that power, they want to get rid of the feature to install apps independently. IBM did the same shit with Red Hat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUXYbt1eLTAto trust these companies is to give them our individual autonomy.
>>106743766nta, yes we should promote the use of AGPL v3+NIGGER+KEK(KILL EVERY KIKE) license.
>>106743775Muslims, Chinese and Indians will find your terms acceptable.
>>106743674>>106743679They should have picked the only language aiming to be around for 100 more years...HARE
cuck license
>>106743490so why is nobody using BSD coreutils
>>106743551>There's a reason our best attempt at human-like AI is a language model.and the interface to it is no different from a terminalfucking hell
>zoomers are afraid of textlmao
>>106743513If computers were still text only the world would be a much better place.
>>106743538canonical is amazon's puppet and they are working in the best interest of amazon. but it benefits them because amazon supports them financially
>>106745165amazon didn't rewrite anything themselves.maybe cosplay for an "anime" you understand!
>>106745197what are you talking about brainrotted zoomer, which part you don't understand? so fucking cringe trying to be ironic every post
>>106743766Her weird cynicism reminds me of eli the computer guy.
>>106744184not enough vulnerabilities.

>>106745240probably 4chink chatbot issue.
>>106745203uutils is neither a canonical project, nor an amazon project.maybe try your hallucinations on some kindergartners and see if that works!
>>106745446who's behind it?
>>106743452Linux has to mature away and split away from gnu and fsf.
GNU 4 ever
>>106746009it's a typical open-source project a then random mozilla employee started in his spare time many years ago.who's "behind it" is the community of its contributors. i myself have a couple of commits there, and no one is "behind me". it was just fun making some use-case run faster. i would however happily take money from whoever is offering, but i'm aint losing sleep waiting for them offers ;)
>>106743452>to change the license to mit or bsdThis is what makes muh Rust rewrites extremely based. This is the only reason why I support the initiatives. Other than that, the obsession with rewriting in Rust is a fucking meme.
>>106746026This. The FSF mental illnessess have done enough damage for Linux.
>>106746026>to matureThat's one way to describe getting on your knees for your masters
>>106746537>random mozilla employee started in his spare timethat's rust, not uutils

>>106743513>computers were solved with C, Xorg, etc>cranky little zoomers want to participate now we have garbage such as wayland, systemd and rusti hate this timeline far more than you.
>>106747155i was talking about uutils. different situation. different era (years after rust v1.0). different employee. and uutils was never funded in any way (no reason for it to be). the rust influence within mozilla was of course a factor, as the employee was surrounded by rust developers. he is also a long time Debian developer, since before rust even existed, so that kind of (non-employment) "connection", if you may, was always there.
>>106747250what's wrong with wayland?
>>106746537kekuseful idiot doesen't even realise he was an useful idiotcongratsand yes there was something bigger bedhind it, you are just a dumb fuck who didn't realise it
