Linux hasn't taken over the desktop because the end user experience is miserable and getting support is a nightmare.

I wouldn't mind if it was just it's own thing but Rustoids insist on cramming it into anything and everything even when it breaks stuff or lacks functionality and stability compared to what it is replacing. See also the Ubuntu coreutils. Over decades they had 17 bugs ever and the Rust replacement forcibly stuffed in lacked basic functionality and was riddled with bugs.

The case where some dude was sued over using Monsanto seeds was because the dude hoarded a bunch that blew into his field and then planted an entire ass field of the stuff. It was a basic trademark case and he lost 9-0 in the SC. It wasn't a case of "evil chemical company sues poor farmer for having 3 plants"

And neither should any of you.

He invented an entire language specifically for Indians and other people too stupid to use real ones and is now surprised they used it to jeet up the tech sector? He has no one but himself to blame for this entirely predictable turn of events.

It describes the behavior of Rust zealots pretty well.

And how much range does it have if you tow a boat or a Uhaul trailer?

All the big tech companies hire jeets en masse.

* Panicking whenever something goes wrong is a dumb thing to do outside of userspace * Panicking when you can't allocate memory is definitely a dumb thing to do outside of userspace * There's no Rust standard * There's only one Rust compiler, and the community autistically screeches whenever someone tries to create another * For that matter, the community itself is a trash fire of the worst people in coding * Linux supports more architectures than Rust does * Rust is very much still evolving, with a culture of using compilers only a few days old * Rust is unashamedly political, which pisses off the 90%+ of developers who aren't anarcho-socialists * Rust takes longer to write than C, even with competent developers ("struggling with the borrow checker", etc.) * The npm-ness of Cargo is a left-pad disaster waiting to happen * The inherent nature of kernel code means a lot of it is going to be unsafe, removing a lot of Rust's benefits * It'd take literally man-millennia to rewrite all of Linux in Rust, and nobody wants to pay for that

The CHIPS Act is packed so full of idiotic, expensive DEI requirements that major chip manufacturers decided to just not deal with it beyond finishing the facilities already under construction. They're going to other more accommodating countries instead.

It was a transparently obvious attempt to clamp down on the crypto industry, despite them doing nothing illegal, simply because they are politically unpopular with a certain segment at the moment. If you want to regulate them, go to Congress and pass some laws, stop trying to do all this back door BS.

The Fediverse's largest instances are run by either obsessive people of gender, white nationalists, or people with massive HOA board member energy. I'll pass, thanks.

This is a feature, not an oversight. All the rich pricks who fly around preaching this stuff only need enough people to work the mines, the farms, and the iphone factories while they lord it over us from their neo-feudal citadels.

What they really mean is "phase out fossil fuels for the unwashed masses while we elites get to continue using them". Same climate gaslighting as usual.

I wouldn't ask a teenager their opinion on anything more complicated than a fart.
