A million times this. But now the backend is done, hopefully mobile isn’t that far off.
I remember that I switched to this from Trillian back in the day.
18·1 year agoVery respectable setup. Nice work. I’m glad you found something that feels like home for you.
Can we get a screenshot of your setup please?
Better for Linux? I’m not sure I would say it is. Better for the world in general? When you compare things like power consumption, you can definitely see that in some use cases (the average user), ARM is superior. But for Linux? Maybe by default owing to the fact that it’s more modern. As for RISC-V, the core is open source and “all” the extensions are proprietary, so it’s not as open source as it pretends to be. But it’s definitely better than what we’re currently accustomed to as mainstream.
Is there a chance that this makes organisations move to Linux?
I don’t think so
You’re not wrong. But remember that with the new law, third party apps can send and receive WhatsApp messages now.
Sometimes ideas are ahead of their time.
Summary
According to the video, open source software is not necessarily as important for servers and IT in the modern world as it was in the past. This is because software updates are now delivered electronically over the internet, making it less important to have access to the source code. Additionally, companies typically pay for service agreements with software vendors, which means that the vendor will fix bugs and update the software for them. Even if a company has access to the source code, they may not have the expertise to fix the software themselves.
I believe this is a perfect example of what I believe is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. In the same way that I’m glad amateurs are given a platform, I rue the fact that amateurs are given a platform as a little bit of research would’ve prevented them making themselves look so stupid. “Servers don’t need open source” with 97% of the top 100 servers running Linux looks like an odd position to take. Maybe they’re trolling.
Aha. I see so many Docker projects with examples of how to build for ARM, I just assumed it was always that easy.
Couldn’t we do that with x86?
That’s really fair criticism. More YouTubers should take such an approach. Surely it’s nicer to see people supporting you rather than trying to stoke up fake outrage.
I was curious because I saw this on my timeline and before I could even click the video to read the text on the video, it has downvotes and that turned me off, so I thought I’d find out why. Everyone was kind enough to explain, so I’m grateful.
Summaries are definitely something that clients should be able to automate. It seems to be expected now.
While I disagree with your reasoning, I appreciate the explanation
ARM life!
