The great replacement conspiracy is that demographic change is a deliberate plan by "elites". That's clearly absurd. It's happening despite their best efforts to stop it.

And when I say "it's happening", I mean in London, which is clearly an outlier.

you believe in the great replacement

I don't believe there is a conspiracy to replace native Londoners. You're putting words in my mouth. I do believe that it is happening because census data shows that it is! Do you not?

I should probably stop replying because you're just making up things that I have supposedly said (seems to be a theme here!)

You're so convinced that everyone who disagrees with you is some far right racist.

I don't even agree with DHH! But he clearly doesn't have view that are so out there that he needs to be cancelled. If anything the people screeching to ostracize him are more extreme.

The is exactly like the trans people vs JKR debating. The answer is in the middle, and JKR is definitely too strident in her views but also she isn't literally Hitler. You don't need to boycott board game companies because they happen to publish a Harry Potter game. Ffs.

If you're asking if I know how to read a chart on Wikipedia, the answer is yes.

Isn't "great replacement" a conspiracy that this is a deliberately plan by ethnic minorities? I don't see him claiming that anywhere.

His numbers are suss but the demographic change in London is dramatic (not as much as he claimed but still). Hopefully Wikipedia is an acceptable source.

No I don't think it's racist to want to live in a city that is predominantly occupied by similar people to you. I think his stats are wrong - London is still mostly British people (at least it was when I last went). But imagine if it was like 95% Indian people. That would a huge change and a big cultural shift and yes I think it's ok to object to that with instantly becoming racist.

Yeah that would be reasonable if he actually did want to hang black people from trees.

you’ve been fairly obvious in your cryptofascism

Wow first time I've been accused of fascism! Quite riduclous.

Good policy, but where did he ever say that?

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev -1 points 1 month ago (23 children)

Yeah good luck with that. The righteous left doesn't want empathetic coexistence with alternative views any more than the immoral right does.

DHH has fairly normal right wing views. Nobody has been able to point me to anything so objectionable that should mean he is excluded from the community. The worst I could find is that he thinks it would be better if London was predominantly native British, which I don't think is an out-there idea.

These inclusive communities have to learn to be more actually inclusive. It's ok to ban him if he's harassing people due to their political views in the Ruby community, but it looks like all he did was post some moderately right-wing views on his blog.

Not going to hold my breath though.

I don't know anything about the Hyprland guy but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a similar story.

Yeah he's dead wrong here. Even clang-format - easily the worst autoformatter I've used - is an order of magnitude more tolerable than no auto-formatting.

Sure it might not always be as good as what a perfectionist human would produce, but it's sure as hell better than what the average human produces, and it means you don't have to waste time ranting like this.

Not on RISC-V. The registers don't really have an endianness. They're just bit vectors - you can't address within them.

When you access memory the current endianness setting determines the mapping between the register value and the bytes in memory. It's the access that has endianness; not the register.

Edit: rootless in this context means the remote windows appear like local windows; not in a big "desktop" window. It's nothing to do with the root account. Sorry, I didn't come up with that confusing term. If anyone can think of a better term let's use that!

This should be a simple task. I ssh to a remote server. I run a GUI command. It appears on my screen (and isn't laggy as hell).

Yet I've never found a solution that really works well in Linux. Here are some that I've tried over the years:

  • Remote X: this is just unusably slow, except maybe over a local network.
  • VNC: almost as slow as remote X and not rootless.
  • NX: IIRC this did perform well but I remember it being a pain to set up and it's proprietary.
  • Waypipe: I haven't actually tried this but based on the description it has the right UX. Unfortunately it only works with Wayland native apps and I'm not sure about the performance. Since it's just forwarding Wayland messages, similar to X forwarding, and not e.g. using a video codec I assume it will have similar performance issues (though maybe not as bad?).

I recently discovered wprs which sounds interesting but I haven't tried it.

Does anyone know if there is a good solution to this decades-old apparently unsolved problem?

I literally just want to ssh <server> xeyes and have xeyes (or whatever) appear on my screen, rootless, without lag, without complicated setup. Is that too much to ask?
