I'll give your comments a full read later and we can continue the discussion on IRC.

Though I'm not a huge fan of the orange site, so perhaps it's good it got flagged.

Hello all. Previously Drew wrote about DuckDuckGo here: https://drewdevault.com/2020/11/17/Better-than-DuckDuckGo.html I recently took a look at DuckDuckGo's privacy policies and did a write up. You can either visit it via gemini or HTTPS via a proxy. gemini://remyabel.srht.site/posts/2022-08-11.gmi https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/remyabel.srht.site/posts/2022-08-11.gmi As my article is rather critical, I'm interested in comments regarding whether my treatment of DDG was fair, especially on the privacy front. Of course corrections/addendums are also welcome. Thanks!

I recently logged into my account and saw that it was created 3 years ago. Sourcehut has evolved a lot since then and the ecosystem has flourished. I was in a different place mentally then than now and feel like I've learned a lot about technology. I enjoy the direction that the community is taking things in and find it quite exciting. I'm hoping to contribute more as thanks.

There are other reasons not to recommend Linux Mint. - https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994 (website hacked) - https://www.theregister.com/2021/02/23/linux_mint_team_berates_users/ (slow on security updates) This alone should scare anyone from using it (for the same reason why one would not use a Firefox fork). Just use Ubuntu. If there are legitimately any improvements Linux Mint makes, they should be upstreamed.

I was surprised to see my thoughts echoed exactly. I've been complaining about Python and npm for a while now but there doesn't really seem to be a whole lot of coverage on it (aside from npm maybe everytime there's a fuckup, but not much on the Python end). I've seen people defend pip by calling it "simple and easy to use" but ignore the fact that it breaks in any remotely complex use case. Or that your packages are orphaned the minute your system upgrades to a new interpreter. Also that pip is designed more for libraries and not binaries, even though every developer out there tells you to use "pip install" (really it should be pipx) to install their binary. Poetry also is not a solution, maybe for developers, not for end users. And it took pip 7-8 years total to finally add a dependency resolver. Bonus points: pip search is currently broken because it's been

Agreed, people use the GitHub stale bot for the wrong reasons. There seems to be a trend by developers for inactive issues to be closed either because "lack of inactivity" means the issue is not worth investigating or to chase bug metrics. It's even worse when the bug is locked which means that users have to create a new issue. There are plenty of bugs that aren't updated or solved until years later. I think this is a classic example of developers solving a problem that doesn't exist or responding to perverse incentives for metrics.

Don't even need to wait a week. I've already thought doing this after reading the danluu article. One of the more perplexing bugs (feature?) I've already written about is how XFCE hardcodes the inactivity value for suspend to 14. So when setting it from the command line, setting it to off you need to use 14, not 0... For websites, especially JavaScript based ones, too many to list. Most notably are ones that require JavaScript just to render text. Because you can't make a website without the latest React/Webpack/insert hot- tech framework here. For games, also too many to list. Memory leaks, slow loading, crashing, performance issues.
