Your move, Rust. I’d love to see it happen.

Good. LLMs are a fucking blight on the world and every company that pushes that dogshit deserves to implode.

If you’re expecting stability for any Ubuntu release, that went out the window when Canonical started forcing Snaps.

But non-LTS Ubuntu releases have always been a testing ground for less-than-stable changes. uutils is just one of them, and the only way to make them stable is to see how they’re being used in the wild.

I prefer this as well, but just adding that Fish also supports $() for those that don’t know.

I keep hearing people that haven’t used modern versions of Fish say that it’s somewhat different from Bash and strays from POSIX compatibility quite a bit. While the latter is true, Fish has added many bash-isms over the years, so most scripting idioms you’re familiar with will work there too.

I’m replying to you from Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon Macbook. The drivers are definitely there!

FEX emulation of x86 on ARM CPUs has made many x86 games playable on my Macbook.

Wrong. Have to start adoption somewhere, and doing it in a non-LTS release is a great move.

Same.

The detractors of this project portray it like it’s a far-off pipe dream to be a drop-in replacement for GNUtils. Meanwhile, it’s still a relatively young project that already has 85% compatibility. I think we can do it. Lol.

He’s a self-described democratic socialist, which is different from a social democrat, as you labeled him. Yes, many of his proposed policies are steps toward social democracy, rather than actual socialism, but I can’t expect one mayor, even in one of the largest cities, to somehow enact real socialism.

That distinction aside: all we can do is apply pressure and hope that Mamdani doesn’t meaningfully sell-out the working class in NYC.

You’re a different kind of VM enjoyer than me, and that’s okay 😎 I’m glad GNOME Boxes and virt-manager are getting the job done for you. I’m okay with the latter, but I think it needs some love, which is why I’m eager to see alternative frontend options.

Docker works. Podman requires a ton of workarounds and wastes my time. I hope it gets good one day, but I’m not reverting to using systemd to manage containers.

This isn’t just VirtualBox. It’s VirtualBox with a KVM back end. So you get the performance of KVM, but with a much better GUI than virt-manager.

Well, MIT projects can be forked into a new GPLv3 project, right? If Canonical cared, they could have done that to assuage this concern.

I think it’s a valid concern. Pushover licenses are bad. But even if a GPL Rust coreutils project exists (I actually have one, but I don’t have the same goals), it seems unlikely that Canonical would be bothered to pivot to it.

Ah, to live in a world without JavaScript and weird, Nazi crypto dipshits 🥰

Canonical does a lot of bad shit, but switching to uutils is not one of them. The “challenges” are expected because it’s going in a non-LTS release, which is basically meant to be a beta of the next LTS. And those challenges are being quickly addressed as they’re being surfaced. This is exactly the right way to introduce something new, IMO.

I don’t like the uutils pushover license license though :/

Because their sandboxing format subtly breaks so many applications (more than flatpak) and Canonical very nefariously co-opts your apt install <package> with a deb package that’s actually a stub to install the Snap version, so when your shit breaks, you can waste hours before you realize that they fucked your installation.

Beyond that, Snap cold start times (installations or updates) are slow as shit (yes, even with LZO compression), and since each snap application can update on its own, you’ll also encounter random times when your shit appears to “freeze” but what’s actually happening is Canonical is busy polluting your loopback devices to decompress their shittified version of your app.

Canonical, being demons, have Snapified things like GNOME, so even your desktop environment will be encumbered by that dogshit packaging format.

Do not use Ubuntu if you value your time and well-being.
