all programming sucks, you just sometimes get to choose in which ways you want it to suck by picking a language or architecture to work in

I did a static analysis on the DeepSeek Android app

tl;dr it does aggressive device fingerprinting, root detection, has anti-tampering mechanisms, bundles native code and has dynamic code loading and execution facilities

none of which should be necessary for an app like this

(pls boost this is a genuine question look it even has hashtags )

It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

Russia May Have Launched A Second #Oreshnik Ballistic Missile At Ukraine—But This One Reportedly Exploded On Russian Soil.

It seems that a few people are being misinformed about the deprecation of the X11 backend, usually because they read screeds from well-known bad faith actors.

The X11 backend being deprecated mainly means that we're not going to spend time implementing new features, like dmabuf, graphics offloading, or Vulkan support. X11 support will still exist until GTK4 is EOL, which will happen once GTK *6* is released. We're talking about a 20 years horizon, at this point…

Happy to announce that Void now officially supports a number of aarch64 UEFI devices, including:

- Apple Silicon macs (using components from @AsahiLinux)
- Thinkpad X13s (Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3-based laptop)
- Pinebook Pro by @PINE64 (Rockchip RK3399-based laptop)

New installation images are available for all supported platforms (x86_64, i686, aarch64, armv7l, and armv6l): https://voidlinux.org/news/2025/02/new-images.html
