The US has a couple of laws and executive orders that is supposed have government stuff (development and purchases) default to opensource but overal enforcement sucks on it and there it little carrot or stick
As they should /s
Honestly its neat but I don't see why I would want it over flatpak ever
No the most common way is for devs to package their own software as a flatpak since you can typically choose your preferred packaging tool to use inside of the flatpak.
Traditional package management typically is done by the distro maintainers.
Too early, but honestly their story was beat for beat my DefCon exp too lol
Super excited for it this year!
UX is pretty painful. I'm never sure if its bugging or if I'm doing it wrong or working and now needs me to do some other step.
I've modded to hell and back with Minecraft, Skyrim, and every Paradox game. So it was kind of shocking just how hard modding in Linux was with Vortex.
I went from being "to forward thinking" in my last job, to catching up with what cutting edge IT setups can be even some state of the art stuff too.
I take heart knowing that despite the pace of innovation the reality is it takes a lot of time and effort for things to really go into practice.
K8s for example is just now getting "boring" for the early adopters IMHO. Its crazy how long its been going and how many systems are built on it, but there are plenty of diverse opinions on implementions still.
Yeah the trend for byod seems inevitable path for client side IMHO. Barring some zeitgeist change
I was asked how to support a large suit of client apps once and honestly to me it was use web apps, and VDI the rest. Strip the clients of as much configs as possible just advanced monitors and run everything in linux containers in k8s.
Let's user drown in whatever OS they want to and keep our jobs sane and separate.
At least for enterprise and honestly at home do the same thing, but fully byod except those that need a managed desktop (then also Linux it).
You would need some real insurance that others were commuted to vote 3rd party no matter what. Otherwise the real benifit is just getting to that 5% mark where third parties get some bennies like federal funding and automatic ballot access in some places. Which is minor vs say stopping a campaign of vengeance from a candidate who has acted feloniously already and has abused his position to black bag political opponents before.
If copyright is sacrosanct then the creation of data by me is my own personal property and without a contract anyone holding my data is in violation.
Blessed are those that plant trees for the shade they will never see.
This mentality is why we are in the position we are today. If we all fail to try to build a better future today the next generation will suffer more than us and it will be our fault then.
Honestly. I wish we had more leftest prepped stuff. The darknet hacker scene (privacy is a mixed bag) is decent IMHO, but as soon as you want to prepare for disasters (canning, homesteading, HAM radio, reloading, guns, etc) ALOT of the content and social media is a mix of ethno or Christian nationalism bunk.
We, the left, really should be interested in this stuff. This is how you provide mutual aid in disasters. How you help the marginalized avoid oppression and how you raise the cost of faciest take over.
