Somewhere, somebody's having a meltdown because Rust is spreading more and more in the kernel.

Good to see that NVIDIA is writing opensource drivers (or starting to). I guess it's too much to ask to support old graphics cards, with NVIDIA mostly caring about money and a linux driver being an incentive to choose NVIDIA over AMD for some.

• express the project in your language in max 5 words
• merge them e.g big long table index --> blotin, blotidex, bilotadex, big ol tadex
• search for "word for $expression" and peruse the results
• translate the expression into other languages then do the same as above
• find synonyms for the words in your expression
• build an expression that is the opposite of your project and just prefix it with a negative then repeat above
• find a pun from your expression
• pick your favorite animal (or pick random one) tack it onto the expression and repeat above
• take your own name and use initials then spell out the initial e.g John Wallace -> J.W -> Jay Dub
  • tack that onto the expression (or the expression it fits best) e.g Jay Dub Index, Jaydudex, Judex, Dubidex, Jadubin

Or if you want to be completely unoriginal like, take a wordlist, pick a random word from it --> tada! You have a name. (what follows ia rant). The list can be an entire dictionary, anime names, movie names, name of mythical gods from wherever in the world, etc.
Then come up with some bullshit explanation that sounds sophisticated for example you randomly picked.

For example, I went to https://randomword.com/ and got "xylary": "of, like or pertaining to xylem." No bloody idea why "xylem" is? Yeah, me neither.

noun Botany.

a compound tissue in vascular plants that helps provide support and that conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots, consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma cells, and woody fibers.

Oho, great! It has nothing to do with a big long table index, but let's make it so! "Xylary is a performant database index. Just like xylem are paramount to performance of plants, xylary is paramount to the performance of queries to your database." Voilà. The meaning of xylary is botched, but who gives a fuck, it sounds COOL, starts with X, and probably unknown to the majority of the world. So now you can piss off people in the field by polluting searches with your project.

But at least you have a project name bro 😎

sudo-flix, piracy app hosted on github. Probably will be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn't surprise me if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something...

That dude who predicted Windows 12 being a cloud OS was probably dead on the money.

Still, google shouldn't be blocking a messaging functionality just because something is rooted. That's fucked.

If you depend on the good will of a company to exist, you better have a backup plan. In the pyramid of control, they are are the bottom and will be squished as soon as you become an inconvenience aka hurt the bottom line.

Data hoarders will love it if it's cheaper than current storage methods. How much would you need to pay for 10PB right now?

It's a little puzzling to me that Linux isn't popular in low-income countries. Why wouldn't it be the OS of choice there? Do we need to become linux missionaries? I imagine it would be easier to convince people who can't buy an iPhone to use FLOSS than those who can drive to an Apple Store and waddle over to get yet another one.
