Ok good luck with your state-sponsored reeducation programs in your Nazi-adjacent Western democracies where the left holds no political power 👍.
For everyone else who has a fucking clue: when your government has a gestapo police state that rounds up and deports the people the state has deemed undesirable, guess what? The Nazis are already in control.
This is one of the most libbed up things I’ve ever seen a lemmygrad user post… Are you just a wrecker account?
Interesting. May need to check it out, but I pmuch only use Gnome or KDE. I hate having to configure the extra parts in a WM (widgets for bluetooth, wifi, etc…).
What makes hyprland so good? It just seems like another WM to me, but maybe I don’t get the interesting parts of it.
The thing you should be aware of is that Tor is designed to make you look uniform to every other Tor browser. It’s set such that you should not really stand out from other Tor users by browser fingerprinting techniques.
Without showing us what the differing warnings are, it’s hard to even assess what this information means.
the number of times i’ve seen a scratched lib turn fash surprised me… at first.
If Trump is walking the “way way worse” path on Palestine it’s only because Biden laid the path down for him in the first place.
hey man remember when the democrats were in the house and senate and obama was president and they dismantled ACORN? haha damn that’s wild, bro.
I use Bazzite on my Steam Deck because I wanted to get LUKS encryption for the hard drive (and otherwise do not wish to manually maintain the computer). I cannot take what is effectively a general purpose PC out and about without encryption. Especially not with the current political climate in my country (USA).
From dealing with SteamOS, I am already familiar enough with how to set up a full dev environment on the immutable distros. So while that is not a challenge for me, it is still a hassle to deal with. I’d rather just directly install my libraries and binaries rather than do workarounds in containers (and then remember the containers).
I think we’ll truly be in the immutable desktop distro future when I can do something like install the base distro image AND simply dnf install something (e.g. nvidia-vaapi-driver or gcc) on top without having to layer it with rpm-ostree. That is, my dnf installs should transparently live on top of the base distro, and that way my base system will never break even if something on top of it does. The problem with layering with rpm-ostree is you are running the risk of a future failed upgrade. It would be like if your MacBook said “sorry, you installed a weird XCode library and therefore we cannot upgrade the OS” – and that should obviously never happen. Restoring my computer to a base state could be as simple as dnf remove * or a GUI option to “Revert to base + keep user files” and that should leave me with a functioning basic system.
Anyway, even though I only use an immutable distro on one device I do see it as the future of Linux desktop computing. I am not up-to-date with the development efforts, but I think we’ll eventually reach a day when using and configuring it, even for advanced users, will be no more difficult than traditional distros. Maybe by 2030 that will be the case.
I made my remarks w.r.t. rpm-ostree and the Fedora family of distros because that’s what I use. Obviously the other immutable distros have their own versions of these tools and their own versions of solving the problems related to them.
Between Steam promoting Linux and GOG promoting DRM-free software, I will never purchase from another storefront that doesn’t even pretend to do something good for the broader community (Origin, Uplay, Microsoft Battle.Net, iOS App Store, etc).
There is another issue on their tracker that was opened many years ago about relicensing to GPL, but it kind of became one of those things where a bunch of people came in and discussed it back and forth to death with no resolution.
I remember the lead developer of the Rust version of Coreutils gave a talk about the project once and he addressed the licensing question by essentially saying (paraphrasing), “I don’t care about this. So I just picked one.” You’d think someone so involved with open source as that guy (seriously, he has a hugely impressive pedigree) would care, or would at least give a justification.
The rust coreutils project choosing the MIT license is just another gambit to allow something like android or chromeos happen to gnu+linux, where all of the userland gets replaced by proprietary junk.
And yet that’s a popularly welcomed approach, for some reason. Just look at the number of thumbs down this has. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/1781
For small programs the FSF/GNU even suggests considering not using the GPL https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html
the order is actually Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
Cyan is Lina’s partner. Cyan is the vtuber name but apparently they met IRL about a year ago.
Hell yeah. My favorite shell for almost 5 years, now. It was definitely an adjustment trying to get away from Bash-isms, and everything shell-related online essentially expects Bash. But it’s just like their tagline says, it’s a shell for the 90s. It’s great.
I’ve been using them for a few weeks now. Lifesaver as I try to organize stupid bullshit that life forces on me.
