I also have heard that, and I want to believe it.

This article just shows how uncertain European countries feel about how to handle the current situation. They can’t even make firm policy, let alone clear process. Putin runs circles around them, only needing banter and jokes.

If you are going to decide to be strong and firm, you need to define your box, includ9ng the corners - and then stick to it. If you are wrong, your are wrong, but at least you were firm.

I guess it’s just a anti-European kind of strategy, so they are so poor at using it. Don’t fight where you are weak - how old is that concept?

Not an expert though, but have been watching bcachefs for … what feels like a decade.

It’s marked as experimental, hence the “experimental”

To be more clear, before he got his code mainlined, you needed to run h8s full fork of the kernel, with changes made not just to the cache code itself, but also to other parts.

Not all of his changes went in though; but the differences got sorted out enough that the vast majority of his newer changes were driver only.

That said, he was still ruffling feathers about wanting some fast moving kernel changes.

Definitely not going anywhere near the comments section on that phoronix article. It’s guaranteed to be pure poison.

I agree, on both statements.

It is easily stable enough for experimental use.

Additionally, Kent got most of his kernel changes needed for bcachefs merged already, so a dkms should be easier to manage now.

Your analysis isn’t great.

Intertwined economies made sense for many reasons, when we all thought that we could work together. Now the world has changed, and many nations want to work against each other.

Europe’s good actors are likely trying decide how long they need to build relations that are not so sensitive to these kinds of disruptions, and trying to decide how much they need to put up with until then. Europe’s bad actors are trying to figure out how to leverage tensions for more domestic power.

The Canadians feel the same way

And the next time?

Have you never had to deal with a bully before?

The Unix philosophy is many parts combined, instead of one mega-part. The Linux kernel is an exception, but the concept allows Linux to evolve over time, and to be flexible. I don’t know what AHK does (consider describing behaviour in these kinds of posts), but concepts like uber-key mapping can’t exist the way they did in Windows.

It seems to me that you have two options:

1. Move to a launcher style approach: find a utility that let’s you trigger a menu that offers the things that your are trying to do (dmenu, fuzzel have lots of extensions for behaviours), similar to the OSX launchpad or the windows start menu w/typing, but you can create your own options and script them
2. Look at the key mapping for your DE (kde, gnome, sway, xfce, niri) and see what is there. KDE has excessive key mapping, and the small tiling managers have many launching and scripting options.

Listen, moving from windows to Linux is not like moving to an apartment across the hall, it is more like moving to an apartment across the border - they have worked out some things differently, and sometimes better. Half of the goal of moving away from windows is moving away from windowisms. Explore and what else is there.

People ask me why I use emacs (they don’t actually, but they could) and I answer by telling them that there are some very new progressive workflows that are significantly better that most IDEs - look at consult/vertico/marginalia/orderless/corfu , and forget evil/vi, look at meow. File browsing using a tree navigator is a last ditch thing. Watch prot on YouTube to learn build a stone cabin, understand philosophy, and learn how to use emacs; move forward and progress.

Darnit, I’m rambling again.
