Our views can be compatible. Endless os is quite limited right now, but if flathub would have xampp, for example, that would be easily the simplest way to run a webserver. However, every techy person prefers docker, me too. It's just not something that my mother can deal with. In general, linux is lacking these mother compatible apps where we have more advanced solution. Of course, I wouldn't recommend endless and others in the category if the goal is to run a webserver.

Afaik, most phones are backdoored that can be abused using tools like "pegasus" which led to a huge indignation in Hungary. I don't belive PCs are exceptions. Intel ME is a proprietary software inside the CPU, often considered as a backdoor in Intel. AMD isn't an exception. It's even weirder that Intel produces chips with ME disabled for governments only.

Try donating projects you would like to use. If your adobe subscription amount is going to gimp and inkscape, you are buying yourself into the future of freedom. If you buy adobe, you will limit yourself more and more.

My brother had that OS. It worked fine until it got a bug that the computer froze when he enabled the wifi, and the only way to stop it was pressing the power button. I couldn't figure out the cause, and there was many unnecessary things coming with the OS, so I helped him to install Arch instead. Now, it works well and feels clean.

EDIT: based on the comments, the issue happened with arch too.

That's my problem with this. It tries to be a desktop display server protocol without unifying all desktop requirements. Sure, X11 is old and have unnecessary things that aren't relevant anymore, however, as someone who builds their own DE, (e.g.: tiling window managers) I see it as the end of this masterrace. Unless everybody moves to wlroots. Flameshot, for example, is already dealing with this, having at least 5 implementations only for linux, and only wlroots and x11 are standards.

Also, imo, having windows in windows is useful when you want to use your favourite terminal in your favourite IDE. But as you said DEs can implement it simply. Let's say wlroots will implement this but others can decide otherwise. And for those the app won't run.

Another example, that affects my app personally, is the ability to query which monitor is the pointer at. Wayland doesn't care having these so I doesn't care supporting wayland. And I"m being sad about this because X is slowly fading away so new apps will not run on my desktop.

Moreover with X11 I could write my own hotkey daemon in my lanuage of choice, now I would have to fork the compositor.

Do I see it wrong?

I made a home inventory management software, because I don't have much space in my flat, so I track every single piece of the compressed pile of boxes; with qr codes on them.

It's a very simple app but you should have a printer to print qr codes for the boxes.

The documentation lacks some detail, so ask anything about it, if you want to try it.

EDIT: yeah I didn't update the readme. The installation may not work. So tell me if you want to give it shot.

It looks like this in action btw:

I would prefer paying for it with my taxes. Not for facebook though.

When I was child I thought they are the same places, even though Austria is our neighbour country. 😄

Some distros do not include all supported device firmware in the base system. You have to determine your wifi adapeter and install the firmware for it. You may want to use usb tethering from your phone for that.

You still had deep sleep until now? Lucky you. To me Dell forbided S3 way earlier.

Thanks for the question. GraphQL works with multiple languages, Cuple works only with Typescript. Despite this drawback this also gives you some advantages:

  • The Request and Response types are auto-inferred from the endpoint you write
  • Because the types are in Typescript you don't need to generate a client, you just simply use it with @cuple/client and get instant feedback.
  • You don't have to learn another language. It's just typescript.

Practically it means less boilerplate and it let's you focus on the feature you write. Cuple is also not a query language, you get what the server sends you, it's more likely a type-safe FFI binding. With Cuple you can build a REST API, or anything similar to that with HTTP method, header, path, query, body, and you can use it type-safely.

Sorry to hear that. I wanted try a system76 laptop, but this is wicked.

Practical difference: Both dnf and apt are slow as hell. Pacman is flying compared to them.

I deleted /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.

I did it because valgrind had a problem with it. I thought I can fix it with reinstalling the package. I tried to lookup which package is it from, but the command I used was wrong and I didn't get any result. So I thought, what if I created it, maybe I just forgot it.

the moment I deleted it everything stopped working. It was fixable only from a pendrive.

Ofc, Arch users should learn how to resolve a package conflict, or how to downgrade packages, or generally how to debug the system. Sometimes you also have to migrate config files.

On the other hand, as an arch user, I can tell that it mostly just works. If you customize heavily an ubuntu, it will break more likely. And while you can fix an arch, you probably have to reinstall an ubuntu.

Moreover, Arch has a testing repository which is not the default.

I wish it would be possible now but it probably won't happen until windows and mac will have similar features. The problem is that processes cannot just read a file, because in the container it doesn't exist. It's maybe due to permission. Maybe not. You cannot tell. Android apps are written in a way that they request access, while pc apps are just reading the files directly without requesting permission.

So the app has to be written for flatpak. However, afaik, this is the maintainers goal too. Btw, the file open dialog is a currently working example of the dynamic permission handling. It's just that the app should use these features which is not guaranteed.

I bought pads as well but the original ones didn't break. I wanted to replace them with my new one, however i found the new one is more stiff while the original is soft that components can sink into it. I didn't know that it's a thing. So i kept the original. (If anybody is interested there were 0.5mm and 1mm pads on the cooler.)

I would imagine it as lemmy. It would be a free, ethical software which is indirectly funded by the government. Everybody uses facebook so that's a good reason to turn it into a public property. We could make it without anti-features. Made for people, not for profit.

there won't be two pointers, but multiple devices are supported

Also Modo

"I use bluefin btw" It doesn't feel nice.

What do you suggest?

We can name the chemical to make sure we don't think about smoking it. For example, I wouldn't say this for THC. But weed is usually smoked.

Have you tried it?

Afaik, Fedora is a free software. I don't deny that, and I'm a free software fan. I don't have any problems with fedora besides that it is too heavy for me.

It looks you also care about your freedom because you use gnu/linux and lemmy. However, it seems you have a different meaning of malware.

Softwere is a recipe. Any unwanted step is malicious. You can only determine a step as unwanted by seeing its source code.

Besides this, a softwere can have other functions that are not coming from the code but the license. Similarly they can be malfunctions. For example preventing you from modification.

So yes, propriatory software is malware. I use some malwares also, because they have no alternatives yet. But let me call them malwares.

Copyright is the example of capitalism polluting water to be able to sell clean water to people.

yep, there are a lot better racist jokes. this was tasteless soft shit.

How is it possible that you have beard without men genitals?

None of them good for non techy people. I wouldn't recommend mint. Gnome is the most friendly DE with pleasing defaults. There are many immutable flatpak distros coming with gnome. e.g.: Endless os which is pre installed on some asus laptops instead of Ubuntu for reason.

Using your own device is good and comfortable. I always hated companies that wants to force windows laptop or macbook on me. I suggest compell them for their tech choice or consider leaving that company and searching for a better one that supports libre software. I know it's hard but there are some areas like web development, which usually lets you use linux.

It's like killing yourself because in physics they teach v=s/t instead of v=ds/dt. Cruelty. Clearly, v=s/t doesn't work.

I really don't get it. If you have a penis you would like to use a urinal. If you don't you wouldn't.

Weed can also cause cancer. In fact, it's worse in terms of that.
