SDesk OS, and frowned on open sourced? (sh.itjust.works)

I recently spent some time browsing my favorite website, Distrowatch.com, where they provide weekly news updates on the latest developments in the world of Linux distributions. This week, I noticed that a new distro had been added to their list: SDesk. Given its intriguing name, I decided to take a closer look and discovered...

Aside from the fact it’s paid product, it seems to me they’re trying so hard to reinvent the wheel.

Debian used to be so good. What happened!? (lemmy.world)

Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do...

pastermil ,

Tried the Tumbleweed. It’s anything but stable.

pastermil ,

Never had issues due to ‘outdated’ packages myself, but then again, I wasn’t into the latest & greatest.

I mean, you’re always free to choose something else instead of bitching.

Goddamn millenials!

Pizza chefs of Lemmy, is a job as a pizza chef a physically demanding job?

I’m asking because, i’m thinking about doing a little part time job as a pizza maker on one day of the week because 1. i FRICKIN LOVE PIZZA and 2. i need to do something physically demanding as an contra to my office job which is only mentally exhausting. Just doin workouts at the gym would be an option yes, but getting the...

pastermil ,

You’d have to! Can’t make good pizza without love!

pastermil ,

Go to cafes and watch people.

With swapable RAM modules next, I hope

The less money on them, the better!

The main character is pale in comparison to Ezio, but I don’t see how he suck.

What mundane things of our era could be seen as beautiful or admirable in the future?

For example, buildings and houses more than a hundred years old keep getting more and more rare, and often have an aesthetic that stands out, more ornate or with a particular style that most people can’t afford today or that is not financially convenient etc. But back in the day, that’s how things were built and most people...

We’re already seeing this one now: physical media

Whatever you’re smoking, I want it!

I happen to have a Fairphone 4. It’s listed as supported, but not with all its features.

Anyone here tried PostmarketOS on Fairphone 4?

pastermil ,

From what I read on the wiki, they’re mostly testing the mainline kernel. I wonder how the device support would be with vendor downstream kernel.

I guess if AI can destroy humanity, then humanity should never have existed in the first place.

Just like the Old Testament!

I banned my daughter from using the iPhone she bought. It made her a better person | Em Rio (www.theguardian.com)

I think its not just kids anymore, it’s adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from “social” media and don’t have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

pastermil ,

a better person

More like a better liar.

pastermil ,

somebody’s entirely missing the point…

pastermil ,

The OEMs do…

pastermil ,

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing, but most people would be stuck with whatever got force-fed to them because they don’t know any better.

pastermil ,

You’re running Plan9 on real hardware???

How’s it faring?

pastermil ,

Nice! I think I’m gonna follow that footstep.

pastermil ,

Got all the device driver support?

pastermil ,

Nice

pastermil ,

Makes me wonder if a 3rd party server for this is ever a thing.

pastermil ,

Weak.

pastermil ,

yeah, say that to south east asians. i bet you’d get laughed at.

RiP

Gotta ban it before anybody even think of it.

Honestly, dude. I would watch out for anyone who call themselves “nice”.

Some company heads hoped return-to-office mandates would make people quit, survey says (arstechnica.com)

Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they...

That’s because the top ones have better options out there while the ones below, who are worse performing in the first place, often have no option but to stay, ignoring their fear and discomfort.

Wow, I didn’t know Canonical apologist is a thing.

I used to love down pillows until I learned it’s the reason why my allergy got so bad.

Not Debian-based, but Debian. With KDE.

pastermil ,

Been using KDE since Debian 9. I’d say it’s stable enough.

pastermil OP ,

A little unpolished even now? I had the same impression but that was a few years ago.

When did you know a career was either the perfect or the worst match for your personality?

I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like “do you prefer to work sitting or moving around,” “do you want to not work...

pastermil ,

Sounds fun! Count me in!

pastermil ,

You can’t just post a screenshot with no explainations man! At least tell us your configuration!

pastermil ,

All good

pastermil ,

some kind of expectation of relevant experience

heh

“.eml is a format for e-machine learning”

pastermil ,

Never obsolete!

pastermil ,

OP said it’s been running fine until recently, so I doubt it’s the kernel.

pastermil ,

It would also be beneficial to the copyright enforcement, as they could just take it all down in one move.

pastermil ,

AFAIK, the Linux codebase is actually open source in its entirety. However it has parts that are capable of loading non-free stuff like firmware. The linux-libre project makes sure those parts are disabled.

Personally, I think it’s a fool’s errand as it would render most modern systems unusable (in the reasonable sense).

They also don’t apply such harsh judgement to firmware that resides in ROM, and only to firmware updates. In most of these cases you’d have systems with outdated firmwares with neither QoL nor security updates.

pastermil ,

Here’s something to get you started.

Don’t take my word for it, tho. Do your own research as well!

pastermil ,

I dont think that app interfaces should break between releases?

If they have good reason, they totally should! In fact this is pretty common.

One prominent example would be how runtime files for PostgreSQL & MySQL are incompatible between major version. E.g. if you’re to upgrade from postgres 11 to 12, you’ll need to do migration.

A lot of command line programs change their default behaviors, deprecate options, etc. This may not be so for coreutils (cp, mv, ls, ln, et al.), but for the more actively developed programs.

In the end, it might not be complete bad to have rolling release on servers, but in most case, it’s not worth the headache.
