It won’t be adopted by everyone like SMS anyway

I really like the idea of Nix, but having to have GitHub account to publish a package is a big no for me, even if I have one.

I wonder how flying on Elytra would be like with the upside-down world 😇.

I put white noice on my headphones. It is so annoying I want to get thing done as quickly as possible just to turn back to normal music.

Hard to choose one, but Metallica - Fade to Black.

And the reason they are there is… because they can contact you there and feel no need to change. If more of their relatives weren’t there…

But there so many other and much better options than Messenger for text chat, so I still do not understand the need.

Honestly, personally I do not mind ads. But the amount of garbage that is loaded in the browser on popular sites make uBlock necessary for me.

Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

I’m looking for something to replace cloud storage for myself and family. I’ve tried to use/like NextCloud but honestly I despise it. The UI/UX really bothers me, and administering it is a pain. It also just does way more that I want or need....

At this point why not just run… no software? A plain Linux VPS server. And plain files.

You can do two-way sync with Syncthing or Unison. One way sync with rsync. Can mount external or network drives for almost unlimited storage expansions. Easy access from mobile devices via SFTP. Everything with single (passwordless) login for every member. And above all run any arbitrary command.

It’s just Windows holding back the industry again. X86 could be long gone if MacOS and Linux would be most popular.

CD is still the only way to buy a digital popular music in most countries.

For anyone interested, those are stickers from there: www.stickermule.com/unixstickers and they cost 1$ with free shipping.
Great to show Linux swag.

Most problems of the current Fediverse is because of how the Internet was build.

Current Internet has no social identity format, no open micropayment standard, no encryption by default so apps must reinvent their own, metadata leakages, namespaces like IP addresses and domains having centralized control, firewalls, NATs and other roadblocks disallowing most devices to host stuff…

Half of the Fediverse is hosted on Hetzner and the second half mostly on other big providers. User IDs are controlled by server admins. Even Nostr is just a band aid with it’s relays doing something Internet should be able to do - send data from device to device.

smileyhead , (edited )

True. So much Fediverse on them is a problem, but there is a reason why this is.

Really cheap, easy to scale, fast UI, no trackers, perfect IPv6 support, great CLI. And they are not a big tech, just a big hosting provider, nothing that could be against user freedom.

smileyhead ,

100% someday they will use the approved CPU list to have only those with secure boot/locked bootloader enforcing only their approved operating systems too.

smileyhead ,

How many years of software updates? 😆

EU: You must have a consent if you want to process personal data.

Tech companies: Okey, so we are going to collect even more and annoy the user with consent popup every single time.

EU: You must not be the single provider of services for the hardware you sell, hardware and things it is connecti g to should be independent markets.

Tech companies: Remove any option to install an app or add-on, understood.

smileyhead ,

Single reason why this is suspicious from the start:

Advertised not to check yourself, but your one-night partner. If it was advertised for self-check it would be bombed with lawsuit for fake medical advices.

smileyhead ,

Because you cannot make NFT of AI generated picture?

I can Imagine such regimes novadays to develop some sort of cryptographic photo attestation, so any photo not signed by them is going to be shown as untrusted, regardless if it’s fake or not. And all the code from processor to camera app would need to be approved by their servers in order to get a sign.

Oh wait! Our great friends at Adobe, Intel, Google and Microsoft are already working on just that: c2pa.org

smileyhead ,

And who is going to be this trusted source? 🤷
Blockchain is basically a one-way database, someone still needs to put data in it.

It would not help with anything.

Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

smileyhead ,

Sorry, haven’t read the whole post.

smileyhead ,

Yes, but KDE store does not suggest checking them at all. Unless you are curious you won’t know that themes can run scripts.

smileyhead ,

If phone has supported USB networking and close to mainline kernel in PostmarketOS, you can try that.

I bought InfinityBook Pro 14.
This is perfect laptop for me, besides one thing that my unit has something bad with touchpad, randomly dropping percision which is super annoying as it mess with my muscle memory a couple of times a day.

I have send it to Tuxedo for touchpad replacement, then motherboard replacement… still the same issue, no idea what is happening. Maybe something with connectors, maybe they haven’t actually replaced anything.
Other than the touchpad on my unit, it would be perfect in terms of practical aspects.

smileyhead ,

I just add dill and Vegeta to everything.

smileyhead ,

Okey, almost everything.

When bigger tech companies were cool.

Main problem with ActivityPub, in my opinion, is being build on the Internet, which is already broken.

I do not blame creators, this is how it is right now. But I believe the end goal of decentralization is to have any device able to listen to connections and just forward posts from device to device.

Wonderful world of proprietary software is always leading innovation and adaptation or new technologies.

smileyhead ,

I choose this manufacturer because it promises 5 years of software updates, much longer than others, and I like it’s operating system features more.

Coming coon to PCs near you.

smileyhead ,

rewrite it from scratch

For most programs all is needed is just a recompilation.

And with FOSS there is also no need to ask the developer. Debian Linux already has more RISC-V software than Windows has ARM.

smileyhead ,

Then why do they tell everyone about it?

Seems like a way to pump the price up just by press and not actually wanting to anything.

smileyhead ,

Non-copyleft licence for an OS… 🤢

smileyhead ,

I think the best bet to target if we want 100% blob-free and freedom computer would be open architecture SBCs. They only need to compute and all I/O could be basic devices with no firmware upgrades.

For typical PC and laptop, my opinion is that if you get an AMD system for example, it is enough. I mean, there are still drawbacks most in term of firmware but if there isn’t some revolution coming that could lock Linux’es down, there are betters things to focus on.

And that thing are portables and embedded. Smartphones, ARM netbooks… Because we have no fully working OS for them. PostmartketOS is doing great job, but no reasonable phone with full hardware support. And most people are going to have these and have to suffer from Google/Apple placing whatever those two companies want on them.

smileyhead ,

By free I think he ment freedom, not free price.

smileyhead ,

I don’t think the post was about giving anything for free.

smileyhead ,

PinePhone is bad at organising, they got many developers turned around from them. While Fairphone do not develop Linux for their phones, they just don’t disturb.

smileyhead ,

To have at least 100% software would be great.
Hardware internal design you won’t be able change by yourself anyway.

smileyhead ,

There is also sslip.io which works for all addresses.

smileyhead ,

There is no success to have here. You get rid of 5 big tech things, but left 2, that won’t mean you failed :P.
It’s not something to be avoided at all costs, just something unhealthy to freedom of one and society.
