But I couldn’t install a specific Python version? System python is 3.13 but I needed 3.10.

The others have covered virtual environments, which is what you need if you really want a 3.10 interpreter.

But… the thing I’m here to tell you is:

they recommend virtual box to not mess with your default installation of the program and the databases it uses.

for many projects this doesn’t actually matter. You can just ignore the warnings, use the most recent version and install whatever you need.

You’re already sandboxing this stuff in a virtual box, which you should be able to reset or bootstrap again when you need to. You’re not interfering with your actual systems’ python, you’re messing with your virtual box’s system python.

I find the whole venv stuff to be very annoying, I never need it, because I use libraries that don’t interfere with system operations and I don’t downgrade to interact with projects. And even if you’re not installing “correct” versions, most of the time newer versions fix bugs and expand functionality. It is extremely rare that functions get removed and it will actually break by you not using their exact version. Or like, version conflicts.

And besides, they would need some kind of CI / testing that would check for compatibility anyway.

tldr: ignore venvs, try it bare metal, see if something breaks. If not, there you go, if yes, you can still invest the time and effort of learning venvs.

What should we do?

There is no “we” and you can start a fork/rewrite if you want to, good luck!

The report also notes that journalists “carrying confidential information” or material “personally embarrassing to the Prime Minister on the eve of important treaty negotiations” could face similar scrutiny.

Weird way to admit that every single politician who could possibly become prime minister has secrets that are so utterly heinous and disgusting, that their revelation would sink important treaty negotiations.

Just UK things I suppose.

Sounds good, good luck to the dev!

I mean, you have to modify it of course. You can’t literally blame cloudflare.

But you can modify everything so that it’s a funny joke that still looks like the cloudflare error that people know.

I’m pretty sure that meets the legal definition of cookie, but that’s not even my point. I’m not opposed to it either, clearly it’s required for the site to work. And local storage is way better than online, so thanks for finding and using that solution.

But even if you’re not sending it to a server, you are collecting that data and that’s not mentioned. I would like it if you put a line somewhere “we’re keeping track of your progress and performance and blah blah etc etc, you can back it up or delete it here”.

And this whole thing might sound like more critique than praise, that’s unfair, I’m 98% very happy with the project, it’s a great idea and fantastic implementation!

Seems cool, but you’re missing some info in your privacy and terms, don’t you?

How do you save the progress data if you don’t collect it in e.g. a cookie?

You know [Burger chain]? Self hosting is making your own burger. Kinda similar ingredients, kinda looking product overall, it’s still a burger.

But you’re in control.

I’m more on mastodon and their filter system is so nice

I made a filter for “idiot did a thing” and every time the news has another article about how some idiot whose name is on my list did something again, as they do, because that’s all they’ve been doing for 20 years, I no longer have to read it.

But I still get the little “something was blocked, click here to read it” thing, so it’s very satisfying.

I don’t block often, but I would expect it’s a similar upgrade.

Very good, we need more non github hosting sites.

Sorry for the rant, but why can’t we as a community be more active in supporting [blank]

I don’t care about your fantasy of utopia, I need a working thing.

That doesn’t mean I’m hating on anything. Specifically the pine phone’s mistake was that they branded as “early adopter” thing too hard. If it says “extensive linux experience required”, that’s not me and I’m not going to sink 200-400$ into a thing that “likely” won’t work, because I don’t have the prerequisite experience.

It’s not my idea to make “open source business” work, the people who are offering that sort of stuff believe in it, and they have to make it work.

Me not believing in that fantasy and calling a “not fit for purpose thing” not fit for purpose, doesn’t make me a dirty traitor ‘to the community’.

Same for “struggling artists” btw. I see the same pattern in that space. If art doesn’t work for you, do something else.

Yes, but I complained on a very important project once…

We could have a neat little internet comment war about personal opinions on Qt…

But it’s the weekend and I’d rather not.

especially the lies!

So then, i will have to build my own PeerTube+Lemmy+Misskey instance… wish me luck

I do! Building things rocks!

so i have to do it the hard way and mention @fediverse@lemmy.world so that I can post here. It’s a good workaround, considering it doesn’t have built-in support for communities.

That IS the built in support.

If I am wrong, then is there any way in which we can solve this issue?

Yes you are wrong, just keep doing it the way you just successfully did in this. That’s the solution.

Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn’t have these restrictions.

It says

On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31.

How did this confusion happen?

I think saying it’s a [code hosting platform] instance is selling it a bit short.

They’re a registered club with official recognized “public benefit” status. They were specifically created to have a non commercial and community / society based choice for code hosting.

I don’t understand why the R4L are even trying to get it into THE kernel at this point. Especially after the open hostility, but also after basically offering to be “downstream” of whatever C people do.

The difference to forking and gradually transitioning things to Rust seem technically minimally negative and socially enormously positive to me.

And when and if people want to use the linux kernel with Rust, made by the R4L people, they would then be able to do that? Idk.

I have no stakes in either side, so I don’t really care.
