Such a useful project as this is struggling with fiscal sustainability. Opensource really needs a method of funding. I mean, there are probably thousands of institutions using this for free. If they had commissioned or paid somebody to implement this same functionality, it would’ve take a full team probably a month and they would’ve charged companies out of their ass for it as well as further development. But Xe Laso is doing this shit for free and most institutional users can’t be bothered enough to pay up to even change the damn “inappropriate anime mascot” 🙄
I seriously hope a license like the Post Open License get developed and used. It’s just disgusting to me that such projects have commercial entities demanding features without having to pay. Fuck them. Fuck you too, Duke University.
I wonder how KDE Plasma would’ve been for her. She might even install Asahi Linux on her Mac. Calling it now.
Way to miss the point.
This campaign isn’t for “I know what I’m doing folk”. They are the minority. The majority can’t tell web browser from a file browser nor a mounted web drive from a local disk. They are the target of this campaign.
People are either going to buy a new computer because they can’t upgrade, which is bad for the environment, or keep using their computers and be at risk of becoming infected. Please don’t go around telling these people “just stay on windows 10, you’ll be fine”. Sure they won’t be in danger right away, but the longer they stay on it, the higher the risk of being infected by an unpatched no-click exploit or whatever else is out there.
You know they steal books by the library right?
It really could be more if the linux user community could agree on things and stop gatekeeping - which seems to be the only thing most online active linux users can agree on “ermagerd eternal september” 🙄
This dude could look at TuxedoComputers and Slimbook. They make good laptops.
And Apple. And Amazon. Actually, all the stuff from Magastan.
44·29 days agoThe comparisons you’re making are off base and it feels like you’re mocking something you don’t understand, while doing so with a lot of confidence. I’d suggest you either read an article, watch a video, or read the ActivityPub spec’s intro. It isn’t long and should help you understand the basics. Then you can move on the ForgeFed spec which is the ActivityPub extension for source forges. And you can always ask an LLM to summarise it for you if you really don’t understand.
Git is already inherently distributed and automagically mirroring to other remotes is generally like three lines in any CI syntax (and there is probably a precommit hook for it too).
Git is, but what about everything else? When you clone a project on gitlab or github, does it come with all the issues, discussions, MRs, and so on?
I can see a LOT of security issues with not having a centralized source of truth on what the commit hashes should be and so forth.
That’s what signed commits are for. Also, pull/merge requests and issues are sent to the origin instance, just like in the fediverse. Like now, you made a comment on a post on Fediverse@lemmy.world through your instance lemmy.zip. The same would happen with your comments, pull/merge requests, issue reports, and so on. There’s no need for a “central authority”.
Uh… Responding to the wrong post? Not sure what you’re on about.
Does it include route search using public transport?
Regardless, congrats on the release!
LKML: The end boss of kernel development
Contributing to Linux was my first time interacting with a mailing list, at least for the purpose of sharing and reviewing code. I thoroughly hated the entire process. I tried in vain to write about my experience in a constructive manner, but it always turned into an unhinged rant, so I gave up. In summary, I think that sending and reviewing patches via email is exactly as insane as it sounds.
That’s the worst part but kconfig doesn’t sound much better. Even if I had time, I wouldn’t try contributing to the kernel for those 2 reasons alone.
It is great that he got to the point he is now. Kudos for pervering.
And now we have a new streaming service 🤔 Really nice.
I was thinking that by now, we should have enough bandwidth to stream webcams straight to each other without HLS or WebRTP or whatever. Just make the device available over a port or, as you did, cat it to another PC and voilà. Actually, why don’t we stream raw camera feeds?
all hail lynx
I hope they will do the same for the Fairphone 5. Being able to run Linux on it would be amazing. It would blow the librem5 and pretty much any other Linux phone out of the water.
Nice. Are there any other groups on Signal? Probably joining one allows you to meet people from other groups too.
is this the beginning of an article and a link is missing?
“That’s stupid”. Great argument. “This content doesn’t exist on $platform ergo $platform is stupid”. “Be the change you want to see is stupid because it’s stupid!”.
Can’t wait for the content you’re going to contribute to peertube.
