As code static analysis becomes more capable, it detects unreachable code in internal APIs. Example (simplified):
"No need to check for NULL paramter because function is never called with a NULL here."
This is counter productive. It assumes that calling code will never change. But we all knnow it always will.
Demoscene became cultural heritage in Sweden.
Another step closer to make it worldwide.

Considering we are now in a trade war with the deranged lunatic fascist regime in the US, we in Europe need a real alternative to the American corporations Visa Inc. and Mastercard.
This needs to be ordered by the Commission or the Parliament to the ECB asap.
Also, a system this central & vital to the economy working ought to be arms-length owned and run by the ECB.
@GyrosGeier sounds like a reason to make another attempt. Atleast can't end up much worse?! ;-)
I don't intent to promote violence, but thoughts going through my head today:
* Did the majority of Americans really vote for this? (If so, then you truly are our enemy.)
* Isn't the current state of their goverment why Americans are allowed to own guns?
* Where are all the people who say they would go back and kill Hitler if they had a time machine today? No time machine needed.

@mks_h <--- @GTK probably has better things to do than https://xkcd.com/386/ ... It gets tiresome after so many years.
Just received a "login from new location" warning mail stating the ip as my ipv6 address. Even though I got native #ipv6 setup for my home network last year, this still makes me feel like 2025 is finally the year for ipv6 taking off (from my personal perspective). Only took 20 more years than I expected.
Maybe I'm late, but I just noticed my ISP #bredband2 now offers me native #ipv6 via dhcpv6, including prefix delegation. Now have ipv6 enabled my local network. Can't find any info online about this change which has been requested for many years already. Why not announcement one might wonder.
@hrw can we while at it also stop talking about gdisk now that (c)fdisk has GPT support (since many years)?
@dusnm @ariadne @BrodieOnLinux I think company backing of Linux is great, but lets remember the companies are backing Linux because they have to and because it makes them money very much despite GPLv2. If a viable MIT licensed alternative shows up to be used in place of Linux, companies will dump Linux in a heartbeat (which I find very unfortunate, copyleft ftw).
@b0rk_reruns there's no need for 644, just use chmod u=rw,go=r foobar.txt ... You can even do relative changes like chmod u+r foobar.txt ... No need to mess your brain up with manually thinking of bits.
I'm old enough to have lived through the struggles of everything being proprietary and free software fighting its way up which made me an avis supporter, but in my experience younger people came in to the game when Open Source was already well established and thus take its existance for granted without ever thinking much about it. Companies also encouraging the workflow of building on top of and never contributing made this natural for them... Atleast thats how I see it.
@juliank "The implication graph building allows us to implement an apt why command, [...]" 🎉👏🥳
@mjg59 @neverpanic @TonyYarusso isn't that just one of the fundamental flaws of apparmour though? IIRC paths instead of inodes being the main reason apparmour was rejected from mainline for multiple years.
Given recent online discussions I feel the need to share: My opinion on Code of Conducts is that they should not be needed, but if you are anti-CoC then you are the problem and the reason they exist.
@agrantler @bagder from my debian involvement I can attest to that users do expect people to have time machines!
Been offline and according to my ISP bredband2.com there was an "upgrade" of the Metropolitan area network (MAN). This caused BB2 to again put me behind #CGNAT (always these unannounced things happening when I'm away from home). As a nice surprise when this was addressed I noticed they started giving out native #IPv6 (finally!) via #DHCPv6, except their router is silently dropping all traffic that needs forwarding (so actually worse than nothing).... Why are all ISPs so incompetent?
