"Wenn du nichts bezahlen musst, bist du das Produkt"

Irgendwie mag ich dieses Zitat nicht.
Schaut man sich Windows 10 an, zahlt man dort Unsummen und ist durch die Spyware trotzdem das Produkt.
Schaut man sich Linux an, zahlt man in der Regel nichts und ist auch nicht das Produkt.

Kostenlose Software ist nicht unbedingt Spyware und Spyware ist nicht unbedingt kostenlos!

There's an interesting on-going blog post series about going from C to #Rust : http://cliffle.com/p/dangerust/0/

The author takes a little math-heavy program that uses a few usual C tricks, transliterates it into Rust, and will gradually massage it into a more idiomatic #Rustlang as the series progress. It's promised that the result won't be any slower than the original C version.

Should be a good show-case for people who don't want to read the Rust book just to get a feel of the language.

1x1 of what #webdev's should not do, but even Steam does it: UA sniffing.

They block #Firefox. (actually only allow #Chrome/#Chromium) For no reason.

If you try to reproduce it, it works, because Firefox shipped with a crazy workaround and spoofs the #UA. See https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/34171.

Anyway, that this steps have to be taken tells how bad a #browser #monopoly is. #Steam is only one incident.
Look at about:compat to see more workarounds.

"Digitalpakt Schule: Informatiker kritisieren Einsatz von Microsoft-Produkten"

Gerade an Schulen bzw. allgemein im Bildungsbereich sollten Schüler die Vorzüge von OpenSource-Software kennenlernen. Dieses Anfixen von Microsoft, Google und Co. hat in Schulen nichts verloren.

Malicious Python libraries stealing OpenPGP and SSH keys:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/two-malicious-python-libraries-removed-from-pypi/

– Look for python3-dateutil, and jeIlyfish.
– Both modules try to exfiltrate SSH/OpenPGP keys and send them to an IP address.
– This is the third time the PyPI team intervenes to remove typo-squatted malicious Python libraries from the official repository.

All this hype around #microsoft developing another vendor-locked #programming #language for "secure" coding...

I mean,... yeah... we have #rust ... so what's the actual point besides another vendor lock on their site?

Really annoying.

To all #Rust programmers on #Linux that want to use the kernel's new pidfd feature to asynchronously await on many child processes from the same thread -- reliably -- I've released the [pidfd] crate, which achieves precisely that.

Note, however, that Linux 5.3 is the minimum requirement to use this crate. Linux 5.4 is required to get the exit status from terminated processes (use the `waitid` feature).

Testing would be highly welcome!
