The average user isn’t going to replace the firmware in a wireless router, so if it sucks out of the box, it’s just going to suck and they’ll never think to make it not so.

The first word in getting into FOSS or open anything should be compatibility before you even get to the store.

If not, then… well, I hope you keep the receipt.

…which is why you check if it’s listed before you buy it.

I pirate everything, own everything and I’m happy as fuck. I even share my Jellyfin server with 20 other people so they can share in my joy.

If your phone is fully supported and not on the fringe of whatever project your interested in is, you’re not in much trouble most of the time.

Not really, considering indie gaming is now its own landscape and has basically nothing to do with AAA which is slowly dying in its own piss.

Everyone will go “gaming is dead” for the next few years while indie game slammer after slammer hits the market.

I’m not really that sort of user, so I have no idea. I use arch and XFCE but have toyed with Budgie and Cinnamon in the past as potential replacements for xfce, and while I liked them, they didn’t… feel right.

Solus was the originator of Budgie, Manjaro used to have a community spin. I’m not sure who’s responsible or pushing it these days, but it is similar in that it’s a gnome3 based, traditional desktop with hardly any outside dependencies outside of itself.

Try Budgie

Xfce4.

It’s inexpensive on resources while leaving me nothing to really… need extra, I suppose. It’s old so there’s thousands of themes and ways to set it up, and it just feels like home. The speed of the animations and defaults to everything has a very stock Windows XP feel to the desktop despite it looking like nearly anything. The system doesn’t get in the way of programs from other desktops or setups in mind and always steps aside.

…you sob, I’m in.

“that’s insane!”

gets wallet out

“I can’t believe this!”

gets out card

“unbelievable!”

That’s my usual feeling with Linus takes.

Well, I agree, but he could be nicer about it.

My headcanon past 2050 is basically nuclear wasteland. I try and stay optimistic in the moment, but the old faith in humanity gas-tank is running a little empty these days.

but sir, that ad content has been trained on your every waking question, query and keystroke, it knows you and may hold usefu-

Not now, Jarvis.

We have a brisket to cook.

It is quite a beefy and roided dispute, imo.

My issue with the dispute is that it has jack shit to do with Linux, Foss or the open source community and the consequences felt aren’t against the people persecuting.

It’s a missed shot. The Russian fuckarchy doesn’t care if they get to contribute to Linux, or if they ever get to again, if they even know or care to notice in the first place.

The entire Linux community in Russia gets to suffer so a disapproving man in the Netherlands can wave his finger disapprovingly.

Is it worth it? Worth what? No one gets anything.

You don’t need sanctions. I’ve seen you petty fucks fork projects over a font.

Nvidia is a western lie, comrade. You don’t need it.

(and most don’t have desktops or laptops to start with)

It’s such a non-problem to my family members that if I even suggest it is a problem, I get ignored.

No one cares. It’s either nothing anyone values or they figured they never had any privacy to begin with.

Good thing I’m wearing clothes.
