Hashing the files and reproducibility are two different things and are intended to achieve different things.

What is the key difference here?

With archilinux packages you cannot prove that what is in the "code" is what is used to build the package you get delivered. What does that mean? Well, I get the package and I can check that it has not been modified. It's very nice but it doesn't help me protect from a compromised build system. With "hermetic" builds (fancy word for reproduceable builds), I get the archlinux package and I can build the package myself from the "code" and verify they are the same.

Why do you feel the need of denigrating anybody here? Both are amazing distributions and have pretty good engineers working on the project.

He is not being asked to do anything.

Some developer is intending to add a .rs file with some bindings and to officially maintain it.

Hellwig doesn't want any .rs file in the kernel/dma. And, honestly, his only "technical" argument has been: "...so that it reminds greppable and maintainable"

I won't pretend to know if rust should be in the kernel code or not but I am fairly certain that arguments against rust code cannot be "to keep the code greppable".

There is obviously tension on the topic.

You mean the same way the left leaning people change the subject when you would like to discuss things like:
- Men having 0 decision power on abortion? If women can abort their child, why can men not "reject" their paternal responsibilities? They are essentially told: "suck it up, if you didn't want kids you should not have had sexual relations".
- Men having significantly heavier penalties for the same crimes
- Men un-aliving themselves way more than women
- Women not being subject to military draft (in the USA)
And the list can go on and on and on...
I am neither democrat nor republican but I see the same "sin" being committed by both sides:
You are all trying to cancel each other the moment that you disagree on anything. It's so ridiculous that I see people just "shutting off" to anything one might say if they hear they support the other side.

It's hard to have a peaceful society when we consider all other possible views "the enemy"

Has anybody noticed how the use of Artificial Intelligence seems to be *forbidden*?

It's Apple Intelligence and Personal Intelligence all over the place.

Seriously Apple? The effort is even comical

Note: I am European.

Trump is not generally my cup of tea but if you are going to criticize him perhaps you should not use the inflation thing.

Many other countries experienced ramping inflation and did not give a tax break of 10.5 trillion to the rich (wherever that number comes from because from memory it was more like 4 trillion...)

You know, other things happened like... mmm dunno.... biggest pandemic since 1919 which was battled with printing money? or perhaps a war that lead to blocking the biggest energy supplier in the world and (might be wrong here) also prevent one of the biggest suppliers of grain from both producing and exporting?

I am sure you can pick *many* good arguments against Trump. I just think the inflation is definitely one of the worst you can chose ;-)

Windows and screens. The whole shebang

1 - Screen recording works perfectly
2 - I couldn't say about your personal experience but here my three monitors with three different resolutions and refresh rates work perfectly fine (are you using Gnome by any chance?)
3 - That is just not true. Period. ( Point to numbers to back your claim )
4 - waypipe
5 - Even if half of what you said was true, just because of the security it brings is totally worth using Wayland (because, you know, that is a _personal_ opinion

Give KDE Plasma (with Kwin) a try and then get back to me :-)

Actual security (on X11 *any* app can watch *all* your keystrokes!)
Different refresh rates on multi monitor setups
HDR
VRR
Perfect frames
and that is just from the top of my head...

Please, do yourself (and everybody) a favor and stop spreading information which is incorrect/innacurate:

I've been screensharing in Firefox and Wayland for years.

And just yesterday I was recording a screen session with OBS and shared a miniturorial recorded via Spectacle (KDE app)

What are you talking about? have you tried cec?

Of course not, you have to use an alternative for wayland like kscreen-doctor (KDE app)

What on earth are you smoking? That has been possible for a while. And with different refresh rates and VRR and HDR! (KDE)

You can adjust the latency if that is a problem for you ( in KDE of course, perhaps you were suffering from a known issue in Gnome)

I do not know about that one but I am gonna go on a whimp and assume you are wrong here as in the previous 6 points...

So we go with personal experiences now? Because for me the experience is precisely the opposite

Have been screen sharing with Zoom and MS Teams for at least two years...

What are you talking about? I've been doing screenshots via Spectacle for years.

I do not understand this one. Care to elaborate?

Gnome has good support for this and KDE is catching up very quickly and likely this next month Plasma 6.1 (and krdc/krdp) will fix this. You can also use waypipe depending exactly on what you need.

KDE surpassed Gnome in that aspect quite some time ago...

Interesting to see how I am writing this message with a Civ VI game running on a window on a different monitor with 4k resolution and this one with 1440p

I really wonder in which year you are living

So you are basing your conclusions of how women reported they feel?

My feeling is that women have been told so many times that they are oppressed that they see oppression everywhere

That doesn't mean it is there

I am sorry but what should be in the law is that it should be absolutely illegal to subscribe any client to any newsletter. Simple

It would also be nice to have significant fines for companies which subscribe anybody automatically.

I am sick and tired of receiving emails for stuff like: "last change to take advantage of our discount!"

The European GDPR already forbids these things but without significant fines... companies do not care. Period

Title 1, Article 18, Section 3:

"Se garantiza el secreto de las comunicaciones y, en especial, de las postales, telegrÃficas y telefÃnicas, salvo resoluciÃn judicial."

Roughly translated to:

"the communication secrecy must be guaranteed, specially on letters, telegrams and phone calls unless there is judical resolution"

Regardless, Spain is not the only country considering measures like that. Just read the linked document: https://www.senado.es/web/cono...

There's 20 countries there!!!

Actual ownership is the same.

Not true.

See here: https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=22845748&cid=63451370

There is no difference in ownership of games on Steam and GoG

Stop spreading miss information.

You **DO NOT** own anything you "buy" through steam.

Steam is a STREAMING platform legally speaking.

If you don't believe me, just pay attention to their usage of words: you don't buy anymore but rather purchase.

Furthermore, go ahead and read the fineprint whenever you "buy" a game.

I will quote it for you:

The Content and Services are licensed, not sold

In Spain 10 years ago I was doing my tax declaration as follows:

- go to a website
- download a "draft" tax declaration
- looks ok: Submit

And that is like that for the immense majority of people.

Of course, whenever you had multiple sources of income, properties, stocks... things become more complex as you [likely] had to modify the draft they sent you.

Still, absolutely everything is for free.

Naturally, you can also pay somebody else to do all this for you :-)
