Copyleft licenses are not “restrictive”
One may observe an axis, or a “spectrum”, along which free and open source software licenses can be organized, where one end is “permissive” and the other end is “copyleft”. It is important to acknowledge, however, that though copyleft can be found at the opposite end of an axis with respect to permissive, it is not synonymous with the linguistic antonym of permissive – that is, copyleft licenses are not “restrictive” by comparison with permissive licenses.
Aside: Free software is not synonymous with copyleft and open source is not synonymous with permissive, though this is a common misconception. Permissive licenses are generally free software and copyleft licenses are...
Filesystem choice
I've been thinking about moving to Artix Linux because I kinda dislike systemd. So I've been thinking about a lot of choices that have to be made while installing and the one I can't answer for myself is the filesystem I should choose. I am currently choosing between ext4, btrfs, zfs, xfs, reiser(fs/4), heard it's a killer filesystem ;). I've also learnt about bcachefs, which seems kind of interesting. I'm not interested in using RAID, LVM and encryption. I want to have a simple setup with one /boot partition and one / partition.
So I'd like to hear from you
FDO's conduct enforcement actions regarding Vaxry
freedesktop(.org), aka FDO, recently banned Hyprland maintainer Vaxry from the FDO community, and in response Vaxry has taken his case to the court of public opinion, publishing their email exchanges and writing about it on his blog.
It saddens me to bear witness to these events today. I wrote in September of last year about problems with toxicity in the Hyprland community. I initially reached out to Vaxry to discuss these problems in private in February of last year. I failed to get through to him, leading to that blog post in September. I spent some time in the following weeks talking with Vaxry on his behavior and...

This reverts a commit and a regression with cursor move with wide glyphs, for example with GNU readline.
LLaMA Now Goes Faster on CPUs
I just wrote 84 new matrix multiplication kernels for llamafile which enable it to read prompts / images faster. Compared to llama.cpp, prompt eval time with llamafile should go anywhere between 30% and 500% faster when using F16 and Q8_0 weights on CPU. The improvements are most dramatic for ARMv8.2+ (e.g. RPI 5), Intel (e.g. Alderlake), and AVX512 (e.g. Zen 4) computers. ...

Below are some highlights of the changes for the recent releases of dmenu, dwm, st and tabbed, see the git logs for all details:
General small Makefile improvements, rationale being: just be verbose and show what is done: do not abstract/hide details from the user/developer. Respect (more) the package manager and build system flags (CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc).
dwm:
Improvements to signal handling. Fix: Avoid missing events when a keysym maps to multiple keycodes.dmenu:
Reduce memory usage for reading the lines. Fix: X11 BadMatch error when embedding on some windows.st:
Fix: bounds checks of dc.col. Fix: buffer overflow when handling long composed input. Ignore C1 control characters in UTF-8 mode. Improvements to cell handling...2024-03-19
