Just checking out this Lemmy thing. Also, on Mastodon.
Right? It isn’t a great revelation that they are in contact over these things. They are clearly working together.
That’s not to say that old Netty isn’t pulling the strings, just that this does not really say anything we didn’t already know.
So he wants to end the blockade by blockading the blockade?
Personally, I use pacman when possible and flatpak when it’s not. I try to avoid the aur as I have had too many problems with missing dependencies or version conflicts. Plus, I don’t generally need things that are not in the repositories so it rarely comes up.
“But flatpaks are not lean!” While this is true, I find flatpaks don’t break my system. Flatpaks do use more resources, from storage to RAM, but I have plenty of both so it’s not really a concern.
I ran Artix for a few days but ran into audio server issues. The issue was that there wasn’t an audio server installed so I had not sounds at all. I managed to get everything working after some trial and error. As expected, most of the online help is written with systemd in mind. A little while later I installed another application which installed alsa as a dependency which broke my audio again. I went back to EndeavourOS after that.
Absolutely. I have no love for Red Hat as a company. My first Linux distro was Red Hat 6. I want to love Fedora for purely nostalgic reasons.
Systemd adding the birthdate field to the user info is definitely troubling. It shows which way the wind is blowing for sure. I should have stated that I am MORE concerned about the AI takeover in the immediate. I am by no means dismissing the systemd concerns.
I’m tempering the systemd thing as I do feel it is somewhat getting blown out of proportion. Though I did try some non systemd distros in a VM over the last week.
A bigger issue for me is this push to embrace AI. It seems all the American tech companies are jumping on board and Red Hat is no exception.
I want to love Fedora but this is the last straw for me.

Essentially any distro with funding primarily from US tech companies is going to go to shit. It’s only a matter of time.
I do run EndeavourOS on my main PC and it’s pretty great. I have not seen any statement regarding their position on the age attestation crap. I’ll jump ship if they come out in favour of it. I just hope they do not.
I have an old netbook that ran win10 poorly. I have since put Debian on it and it’s been great.
I am using Fedora Server edition on my home server and EndeavourOS on my main. I see no reason to change that.
If I had to choose only one I would go with stable first.
That is my solution as well for now. I bet TVs will start to come with cellular chips soon though.
Does anyone make a living room sized Faraday cage?
I got a little suspicious when they stopped using “Don’t be evil”.
No, the treasury fingered China. I knew a girl named China once and that tracks. Still not sure how mum was involved though.
Same energy.
Anyone who can’t make money with a casino is completely inept.
I am waiting for them to report that he got 18 hole-in-ones.
I mainly game on Xbox but run Linux exclusively on my PC. I am considering cancelling my Xbox Gamepass Ultimate sub but my kids also use it. That’s a tough one.
This vision of the AI making everything easier always leaves out the part where nobody has a job as a result.
Sure you can relax on a beach, you have all the time in the world now that you are unemployed. The disconnect is mind boggling.
You can start with Tkinter since it’s a standard python library. Here’s a tutorial to get you started.
Work is something I do, not who I am.
Americans have been indoctrinated to feel their work is their worth.
Socialism isn’t a dirty word anymore. I would gladly take socialism over the late stage capitalism that allows surveillance pricing to exist.
