China is doubling down on Linux as trust for Microsoft erodes. in c/technology@lemmy.ml

Huawei is not the only one. Almost all software companies have some KPI that employees are farming. (speaking from experience here)

It's probably because those with decision making authority have no idea what open source is and how it works.

That being said, China is a huge contributor to open source. For example Huawei and Alibaba are among top kernel contributors.

Turkey has a pretty ambitious plan for Linuxification. Same with the Münich city government in Germany.

Zuckerberg's statement to employees looks like the beginning of mass layoffs at Facebook. (www.zerohedge.com)
 

Excerpt below:

"Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn't be here. Part of my hope by raising expectations and having more aggressive goals, and just kind of turning up the heat a little bit, is that I think some of you might decide that this place isn't for you, and that self-selection is OK with me."

Specs look good. I wonder which distros will support RISC-V now?

Having an open ISA like RISC-V increases competition in the market. Better for us consumers.

Which Matrix clients are you using and why? (lemmy.ml)
 

I managed to convince my friends to give Matrix a try. Among us we span almost all platforms. Any ideas on what clients to use would be much appreciated.

I agree that it's not completely open, but having an open ISA is alteady a huge step forward.

Rust equivalent for Python's shelve? in c/rust@lemmy.ml

Exactly this, thank you!

Rust equivalent for Python's shelve? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello all, I'm learning Rust after years of programming mainly in C/C++.

Python has a very neat shelve library: https://docs.python.org/3/library/shelve.html It's basically a dict (hash table), but is located on disk instead of memory. It's great for easy persistence and also for working with massive objects that won't fit into memory.

Is there anything similar for Rust? I could not find any, but I'm still learning Rust and could have missed it.

ARM is owned by a company. RISC-V instruction set is open.

This is great for moving RISC-V to mainstream. Pine64 makes great hardware.

Facebook collaborates with US intelligence services. That's good enough reason for me.
