Not same results as DeepL but… You can use any popular online LLM for excellent translation. There are also “small” language models that you can run on your phone (if you havet a reasonable modern/powerful phone that is): https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm
It’s the language of GNU. And a scheme. That’s also why you would choose Haunt. It’s probably not for you.
If you’re into GNU/Guile Scheme, there is also Haunt: https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html
Actually, what we probably want is something like openSUSE MicroOS with containers based on Nix or Guix.
Best would be if openSUSE simply adopted Nix/Guix for container configuration.
I think it makes great sense to use Nix (or better Guix). The users are not expected to do any configurations. They basically need a browser and maybe a text editor if it’s the public sector.
Also, you can run Nix or Guix on basically any other dist. Which is very helpful for reproducible deployments.
Ubuntu doesn’t make any sense. Better use Debian in that case. We don’t need to give yet another eccentric South African billionaire more power.
SUSE is owned by the Swedish venture capital firm EQT. For better or worse. All software has “ties” to the US. Remember there are lots of good people in the US as well. Everything isn’t MAGA or tech feudalism.
I agree. Most Linux distributions have their base within the EU. Just dumb to bring a new Fedora based dist to the table. Debian is also very connected to the EU and France, even though the SPI is registered within the US.
One could push for The Linux Foundation to to move their HQ to the EU. If that changes anything. I guess it depends on if Linus resigns or wants to move back to Finland.
What languages and patterns will be considered woke?
For sure memory safety and dependent types. C++ will probably be shoved down our throats.
If you don’t use pass, you should probably hate yourself.
Don’t know about the EU, but this is the only one you’ll ever need.
Totally agree. The majority of Americans are great people. Not everyone is MAGA. We need to support the good ones. Sanctions and boycotts tend to unite.
One exception would be if the project imposse a security risk because key people and servers, within the US, may be blackmailed or pushed by the new administration. We’re not there yet though. And I hope these projects and people migrate if this becomes the case.
Also, FOSS projects run by big tech are probably also wise to avoid for strategic reasons.
I stopped using Nextcloud a couple of years ago after it corrupted my encrypted storage. I’m giving it a try again because of political emergency. But we sure need a long term replacement. Written in Rust or some other sane language.
Agree! Tumbleweed is by far the best stable rolling release distribution as of February 2025.
Nix and Guix are the only alternatives IMO. Given that you’re into modern hipster distributions and want to feel special.
Arch doesn’t add any value and is pretty much last season.
openSUSE Tumbleweed is the distribution for you.
There is no reason to use Arch at all ever. It has a good wiki and thats pretty much it. If you want an advanced modern distribution you should go with Nix or Guix. Arch is very much last season and doesn’t add any value over “normal” distributions.
EDIT: after doing some reading on Cachy, I change my mind. It seems like a good choice because of the kernel optimizations and the rollback support. I would still prefer Tumbleweed, but mostly because I nurture an irriational dislike for anything Arch.
Unless you’ve solved the issue by know, I would recommend to install openSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s an “beginner friendly” “stable” rolling release distribution with rollback support. After the first update, everything should just work.
My point is simply that it’s probably not worth it to add another language. Doesn’t have anything to do with Rust really.
Though I do think that the language is a bit over hyped. It’s obvious companies and projects used to say they’re using Rust, not just because they want to attract young developers or like the language, but because it’s a way to get VC. Like AI and blockchain.
I do like Rust. But mostly because it encourages functional style programming. And the tooling is of course awesome. Especially compared to C and C++. However, I do believe that static pure functional languages are superior to Rust.
Try ripgrep instead of grep. Unless you go for index etc.
