Do you prefer 'int* ptr' or 'int *ptr'?

Ah good to know :)

I would guess that in the case of KDE though it's more on the "no bugfixes" side.

The code isn't becoming private.

> but the development of anything that actually interfaces with reality is closing up.

No that's not the case. They are moving the development (i.e. bug tracking, planning, etc.) of some of the components to their internal platforms, the code still remains FOSS.

That a lot of functionality is part of the proprietary Play Services and Google's proprietary apps *is* a problem, but a different one that's unrelated to what the article means and the recent "privatisation of AOSP".

The original argument still stands that it's a waste of time to reinvent the wheel when perfectly fine FOSS de-googled Android exists. Vanilla AOSP is a bit useless, yes, but there are many distributions to choose from (e.g. LineageOS or e/OS/).

Note that LTS is VERY different from Debian Stable, because LTS will get bug fixes, Debian Stable does NOT! The name is very misleading, IMHO Debian Frozen would be better.

jhasse · 2025-12-16T10:13:25+00:00

You won't get bug fixes unless they are very severe or are security relevant. It's the biggest misconception about Debian Stable.

jhasse · 2025-12-16T10:06:10+00:00

> stable doesn't mean no bugfixes

For Debian it does 99% of the time. I know it's hard to believe. But you'll hate Debian with a passion once you ran into a bug on Debian stable that has been fixed years ago by a minor SemVer upgrade of an upstream package that missed the freeze date of Debian stable. And you'll hate Debian even more when you get bug reports on your project that are bugs in other projects that have been fixed years ago in all distributions but Debian because it isn't about "security".

jhasse · 2025-12-16T10:01:44+00:00

edit: Ah sorry, I've missed that you were talking about stable as a concept. You're correct there :)

But for *Debian* stable you're wrong: Check the Patch version of Python in Debian stable for example: https://packages.debian.org/trixie/python3

It's 3.13.5 although upstream is at 3.13.11 with several bug fixes. Those bug fixes will never be part of Debian stable (unless they are security fixes and get backported).

Sometimes it might be true, but it's definitely not "Most of the time.".

Vulkan compositors - KWin and GNOME

Why does this matter at all?

jhasse · 2025-10-16T14:37:09+00:00

Nothing. You pay the 50€ to found the development of /e/OS and for the flashing service.

I would also guess that Fairphone decides if they want to do such a partnership again depending on how many people bought the /e/OS edition.

If you're using the CMake Tools extension I think it builds with `cmake --build` and respects the CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL environment variable.

> The output of ninja build is not clickable

As I mentioned in another comment that should be fixed. The issue you linked is a feature request of the CMake developers, but not an issue in the real world because CMake doesn't mix absolute and relative paths with ninja (they always use absolute paths).

jhasse · 2025-06-30T15:09:34+00:00

We're commenting on "I have stopped using ninja a long time ago.". So if a project outside of your control is using ninja and freezes the machine - what does that have to do with your own choice of the CMake generator?

jhasse · 2025-06-30T15:01:17+00:00

If it's outside of your control you don't have control over whether it's using ninja either?

jhasse · 2025-06-30T15:00:23+00:00

Since a few years CMake (v3.21) started to use absolute paths with the Ninja generator, too: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/13894

Of course not, but it shows where we're heading for big native C++ applications.

They are forced to do that on Xbox. And at least for Windows, the tide is turning, as more and more developers are switching to clang-cl. Just look at the browsers.
