Buying operating systems is not worth it. Just use Linux.

talk of political organization outside of violent revolution is frowned on

Then why do so many people talk about how they are voting for PSL? Admittedly that's mostly on Hexbear, but if anything I think we have too much electoralism and too many LIB s.

Isn't a low minimum API level a good thing? Doesn't that mean more people can use the app?

Only took them 6 years of malware

I mostly just pretend that thing's can get better, if I just communism hard enough. Also sex and drugs.

Working there is apparently pretty nice. Microsoft on the inside is not Microsoft on the outside.

But regardless, terrible company with terrible products. Even if they didn't do anything shady, they still aren't great.

mobile first stuff on desktop

Seems like hexbear.net is blocked as well

There are a number of companies that would be affected by the license change, and they are the largest driving force behind the fork. Hashicorp's managed option just really sucks. There might be fragmentation, but I expect most people to switch to the project with more engineers, Linux foundation backing, and an actually open source license.

cri At least the prognosis is good.

i2p. It's sorta like Tor, but the way that every user is a node provides some advantages over Tor.

Good thing I've been using LibRedirect with Invidious and Piped for a while now. YouTube really has been going downhill.

i've been saying this for years, ubuntu = bad. Use literally anything else (except Windows lol), no other major distro comes with Snap pre-installed.

I think VRChat is a pretty good counterargument to "nobody wants to watch movies in VR". I myself don't use VR or VRChat, but according to friends that do worlds with films are extremely popular. Maybe you think that's a niche situation, but nobody I've known that's tried it (more than a few people) has disliked it and all of them could just as easily watched it on a monitor. There are already thousands of people who sleep in VRChat, talk in VRChat, and play in VRChat. I actually know a really surprising amount of people that will sleep in virtual spaces, whether that be VRChat or just being in a Discord call.

Is there someplace we can contact to change this?

damn, that sucks. I've installed Linux on 10 personal computers so far, from phones to servers, and I actually haven't had too many issues. Then again, I've never needed RDP and the only computers with NVIDIA graphics are the servers, which are headless.

Hannah Montana Linux is probably the most popular Linux distro.

In all seriousness, popularity isn't necessarily the best metric for what you should run on your computer. Ubuntu might be fairly popular, but it also isn't particularly good.

I've never had any issues with tabs not restoring (I have 6729 tabs currently open, on the newest FF release, updated many times). What do you mean by "never completely capable of restoring my tabs"?

Guix

I've never had any issues with Ryzen, but I never had first gen. If you don't want Ryzen, and Intel is unethical, maybe you could try a Epyc /s?

Buying used Intel stuff might also be an option. No more money would go to Intel, and using used stuff is good on the e-waste front.

Manjaro? nah, don't

Nebula, the overlay network thing. It connects all of my servers together, and me to my servers.

The NSA said this? Looks like it's just going to be assembly for me from here on out. /s, ofc

You could use a static site generator (like Hugo or Zola), then you could stick the site wherever you want, from GitHub pages to local website hosters. Another interesting option would be putting it on Tor or i2p. You can setup those programs to host your website on your computer easily.

DT coping and malding. (DistroTube made a video about how systrays are useless)

vim and neovim actually hold a pretty significant marketshare on Linux. a lot of developers use MacOS or Windows, so what does it matter if one more small thing is proprietary? It obviously does matter, but people don't think of it that way.

Join some kind of org that's in a niche you enjoy. Enjoy planes? Join AOPA. Engineer planes? Join AIAA. Like programming? There tend to be a bunch of local meetups. Into left wing politics? You could join the DSA or the IWW or the PSL, etc.

Honestly though I've found the best way to make new friends is to meet them through your current friends.

I PXE boot my desktop.

Two $20 bills. In all seriousness, there are a lot of board or card games that go for less than $50 dollars.

You'll sometimes see aviation terms for the little fighters that launch from the larger ships, like in macross. I think it's a matter of scale, really. An airplane will usually have single digit crew, maybe double digit. A warship will have hundreds, and the bigger the ship the more the crew.

Maybe on a messaging platform with IRL people, but never on somewhere like Lemmy. If anything, I really enjoy seeing that number go up! 59 unreads right now (I never check the box, the only way they go is replies).

alacritty

A "best dad" mug, but you cross out the "best"

Is that true though? I used to be a major lurker, but now I post relatively often. I think having other people post about stuff you care about, rather than just screenshots of other websites, can be a big factor.

Iosevka, 100%. I've tried out a few others, but I keep returning.

bottom users rise up. RIIR!

Two 8s? Extremely sus
