  1. Richard is not just a maintainer of openSUSE Aeon. He was chairman of openSUSE in SUSE. For me, the whole situation is more related to not liking a certain person when your opinion is 'dangerously' close to this person opinion. That's it. Linux Foundation won't change it's ways, knee-jerk response to specific views about LF from various people also won't change.

  2.  @Triro  He loves to cash on quick 'wins' in his book, We need more people like Brodie here, not like him.

  3.  @nephatrine  In life of software development, updating your deps is not always the best decision. Sometimes, newer versions doesn't have things you relied on, for various reasons, and you're left with void.

  4.  @ruanpingshan  That's MS issue, which have 2 .docx standards - one, closed, which they use, and one, 'open', for everybody else.

  5.  @fhunter1test  Automation is developed, and compositors can use libraries, like wlroots, you know?

  6. They won't work together, they're just too busy figthing between themselves, promoting anarcho-communism (lemmy creator), force blocking logging on mastodon-based services like Gab on mobile apps because somebody doesn't like someone's other opinion and more. Great ideas beneath all of that, but poor execution, as usual.

  7. 1. They create dev loops, because that's how they're working. Just like mounting .img or .iso :) 2. Proprietary server is kept proprietary because they've learned the lesson after launchpad, when they open sourced it and nobody gives a damn coin :)

  8. Sudo currently is a go-to in corporate environments, where root privileges are controlled by LDAP/AD. Unless they have a way to implement is, corporations that they really like won't adopt it, nuh-uh.

  9. It's dead.

  10. Then it's best to work on Xwayland, to make it work as trimmed down Xorg.

  11. For me it's simple - malicious attempt. We should really tackle hard anything XZ-alike. Being paranoid in this case will only help us...
    3
  12. Vague security arguments, paranoid-level approach are a big pain point of Wayland, combined with glacier pace of implementing protocols. That's main reason why Wayland is not taking linux by storm now.

  13.  @aquilafasciata5781  Keywords alone mean nothing. It's the intricacies of the language.

  14. I think you should check Theo take on that about Nuzu. PC focus dragged poor kid into it. Plus, Ryujinx and Yuzu had bad blood between them...

  15. Sounds like PS/2 keyboard magic

  16. That's higher level of respect, or roast by saying that Slackware have no users. I don't know the intent of commission of GOAT distro :P

  17. QML is yavascript based, what do you expect? Performance?

  18.  @flintfrommother3gaming  before maxwell

  19. People do opt-out, because of data skewing this person metioned :P For models, vendors etc, it's because vendors and specific models are really bad sometimes.

  20. Ubuntu Pro is free for 5 machines on your account ;)

  21. @ yes, but in terms of linux kernel, Zig brings basically nothing to the table, compared to rust or nim

  22. For snap store - you can make your own, docs are there, but gl & hf getting everything to work :D

  23. Happy Navi14 noises

  24. Ubuntu Pro is free up to 5 machines on your personal device, so... :D

  25.  @EduardoMedinaEdlinks  Snap and Flatpak as working together tandiem - why not? :)

  26. Linux Mint doing Linux Mint stuff. They have good intentions, but those are the pavement of the road in hell.

  27. As Pole, I'm feeling great, that they banned 'us'. F them. BTW, thanks malibal for showing me next great Polish company, succeeding in global scene!

  28. Well, Canonical fixed that issue :)

  29.  @IIGrayfoxII  They fixed it on systemic side ;)

  30. Even Ubuntu with Amazon did better job than Windows nowadays. Data collection is also transparent as heck. M$, learn from Ubuntu.

  31.  @TUXmint  Maliciously comply with EU regulations*

  32.  @nephatrine  If people knew that, xscreensaver maintainer wouldn't have issues.

  33. In AI space, especially from FOSS side, Vulkan Compute is gaining traction, so in the future there might not be a need here for sticking with nVidia... ;)

  34.  @michaelutech4786  Give us the examples of such cryptic things in rust for you. We will figure it out :)

  35. Then you should root for Arcan ;)

  36.  @softwarelivre2389  It don't need to have that bug to be slow as heck. JS is the problem besides that. 8-)

  37. Krita is rather alternative for drawing related tasks. GIMP otherwise is great alternative to Photoshop.

  38. I'm all here for making software which does not link into specific solution, like GNOME requiring systemd. It mostly bites you in the back when doing more embedded-related work, where your needed library have dependency on systemd project in some shape or form.
    1
  39. To reverse this issue - allowing bundled dependencies would need finding a way on distros side to not kill dependency cycle graphs between applications. Additionally - eli-schwartz mentioned COPR and PPA, not official packages.

  40. You know, they are, right? Snapd and snap format is FOSS. They just don't bother with opening store, which you don't even need to distribute snaps...

  41. Wayland is not the only game in town. Arcan got money ;). What keeps me on X? XSHM capturing is much better than pipewire still, especially when capturing games like OpenGothic (Gothic engine reimplementation). On pipewire you get black screen after few seconds, on XSHM it works fine :)

  42. Well, have you heard about Christoph Hellwig stepping down as DMA maintainer? :D

  43.  @BrodieRobertson  Sorry! Have a great day :)

  44. 1. Linux is not Unix. 2. Biggest unix is macOS 3. Rest of it is ~true what you said :)

  45. 3 notes: 1. Terminal web browser might be useful on... servers ;) 2. Gnumeric - it's great outside of just size limit. There's paper(!) which shows that gnumeric is most 'precise' out of most available spreadsheet apps, and helped me a lot on university, when dealing with FFT - easier to do than Excel. Plus, still in develop, alongside gnucash, for home/business finance :) 3. Most of those apps (outside WMs I think only) are alive and kicking in their source code repos ;)

  46. 1. This 'reversed N with squggles' is a capital 'i' in Russian language 2. Translation of word "Błąd" is 'Error 3. Using wayland without such protocols already in place on mobile space = somebody rushed it too much ;)

  47.  @Jeremy-W0JRL  Such behavior cater more to enterprise-y users what Snap does.

  48. yeet that pseudo FS out, Linus, PLEASE

  49. 'No trademark violation' guideline won't work as 3rd party person would want to package binary-only proprietary software for flathub :/

  50. Not only legacy hardware - also to have hard real-time available in seemingly familiar setting for people to use in small PCs ;)

  51. BTW, some starting youtuber called ProtonPenguin starts off with trying to 'debunk' this video ;)

  52.  @paulstubbs7678  Remote workers issue can be fixed by company-assured device with GPO applied to them.

  53. tell that to linus first.

  54.  @BrodieRobertson  Nowadays, Unix is macOS, since it's the only certified holder of that title currently in use ;)

  55. Wayland with BDFL - you mean Arcan? ;)
    1
  56. They fixed that wallet issue and put extra precautions about snap publications :)

  57.  @keit99  None of them are. Maaaaybe snaps.

  58.  @FUTOTECH  Then it would be awesome to label projects you make with such license as 'Fair Source'/'Fair Code', not Open Source. It would clear out some smoke around :)

  59. Why using ls as root? Only in one case - when file have no read permission for 'others' ;)

  60. I hope that Kubuntu will have a way to run plasma 6, as PPA or something.

  61. Zig needs much more time to cook to be usable. Too unstable language for anything.
    1
  62. For 'serious' licenses, I'd push more towards GPLv3/AGPLv3 to temper, at least a little, few stealers in corporate world. If not, using joke-type of license, like beer-ware, is totally fine IMHO. Shows that people are not always with big sticks in their backs when doing what they like to do ;)

  63. Snaps have few advantages compared to flatpak and appimages in general. Plus, they work to make snaps behave nicer outside ubuntu landscape. Just use what works and help others achieve same goal :) Additionally - fixing snap confinement would help with that.

  64. As a modern Slackware user, I'm glad to hear more Slackware coverage. Even if it might eat your hard drive, still I come back to it from distros like popOS, ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE and the like. PS. openSUSe and Slackware have some common history :)
