The prevalence of FOSS software is amazing.
Linux distros, BSDs, GCC, LLVM, GNU tools… The equivalent stack in the 90s was expensive, proprietary, and rare. I was getting software from magazine CDs, and none of the expensive tool chains were showing up on them.
Free DVCS in Git is also great. No manual versioning schemes anymore. git init for a new repo. There was SVN, but it required a server.
I’m trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a few personal servers as I wait for Slowroll, I want to get back to trying to get Gentoo running, and I should check out Guix as a server in a VM.
Gentoo having a binary option should help since I seem to mess up the kernel part of the installation.
Yay! No Nvidia this time.
It’s so sad he doesn’t get into arts school. 🙁
Supposedly on the disks. The files were saved, but did the FAT table eat itself was the question. 😂
StarLabs StarLite is the closest device I’ve seen to those requirements. It’s a 12” x86 tablet without a cell modem or water resistance.
A mobile home. Don’t worry you’ll be able to rent one from Uber for the night soon enough.
That’s a good question, and who is the mysterious 3rd party SUSE is going to be merged with?
Debian is looking better and better everyday.
The socks he’s talking about are expensive too. Like $20 a pair.
I’m buying 6 pairs for, maybe, $20, so yeah, wool socks are a luxury item.
They’re spot on. I had this thought last week while trying to find an ISO. It’s like it’s a state secret or something. 😆
Fedora, OpenSuse, Arch, Gentoo, Kali, and Armbian all make it easy to find an ISO or image to get started. The free RHEL downloads are the only thing more hidden then Debian downloads.
This is really cool. I install extensions to remove the Activities button and display a workspace indicator.
A lot of Workspaces might present a problem though. Currently, the Workspace indicator extension with collapse into a number after 8, or so, and I’m not sure how that scenario would work with the proposal.
Aral is promoting the Fediverse.
He’s also saying neoliberals/centrists are largely performative, and they are fine with fascism. It’s a variation of the Nazi bar story.
There were always problems with Twitter’s moderation as it was lighter on the right than the left. The famous comment about not banning Republicans congresspeople comes to mind. It was never as right leaning as Facebook though.
