I don't know why this reads so skeptical:

"The team has been setting the groundwork for new components/drivers to be written in Rust but as these are developed, we're running into some roadblocks," he told us. "[Linux creator Linus] Torvalds doesn't seem to care, or perhaps believes they are appropriate. Time will tell."

Some days ago what I read was this:

Switching to a more modern topic, the introduction of the Rust language into Linux, Torvalds is disappointed that its adoption isn't going faster. "I was expecting updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust. They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust."

I take it as people just joking. Personally I'm in doubt if the tweet is serious and the new book is true, or is it just a joke about refactoring/re-writing code.

After all, that's why git is there, to help me remember the shit I put all over the place. (Ok, it might have some other uses.)

The other day I was having a bad day and had a call from an unknown number, so I decided to pick up but let them talk first. They just hang up and have not called again.

I don't think it was a good idea to pick up in the first place, but it was curious in the end.

But you'll at least let us take a smaller or bigger peek right? Don't worry we have a screen recorder ready, you don't have to do anything.

I still have a computer with windows but it feels so fake. Like I'm pretending to run windows but all the time I'm using tweaks and tricks to get away from windows.

Hey, shitposts are like manure that helps other posts grow.

If you have to cast your joke it isn't funny?

cat

Ahhhhh, fuck. I'm quite noob with linux. I got into some rabbit hole trying to read the docs. I found 2 man pages, one is cat(1) and the other cat(1p). Apparently the 1p is for POSIX.

If someone could help me understand... As far as I could understand I would normally be concerned with (1), but what would I need to be doing to be affected by (1p)?
