I mean, do we have viable alternative? Like every popular brand is from similar tech megacorps.

someacnt_,

I wasn’t even an expert but I knew they would do that just by distribution of military. Did not expect Civ 5 to be accurate, tho

someacnt_,

Who’s ‘we’ here?

bash coding standards?

i didnt care about how i wrote my bash scripts, coz i know theyd ultimately be used just by myself. but for the past few day, i’ve been working on this project, mk-blog which uses some bash scripts, there are chances that others might look at them. besides in work they’re asking me maintain a server. so why not learn the...

someacnt_,

But it is written in haskell, unpractical language

someacnt_,

Well Why do I love trolling this much…

someacnt_,

At least I heard that world war is unpractical thanks to nato…

someacnt_,

I know this is nitpicking but… I’d say the biggest issue with electric car now is the pricing. What do you think poor people should do?

someacnt_,

Exactly what I thought, we need less cars.

KDE Connect to my iPad just stopped working for me a few months ago. Do you know of any possible reasons?

someacnt_, (edited )

Doesn’t seem to work… Whenever I send a file from my ipad,

  1. KDE Connect simply stops connecting correctly.
  2. GSConnect keeps connection, but the file always fail to send.
someacnt_,

So some people are actually playing starfield?

someacnt_,

I feel like I shall kill myself before world goes a mess with war…

The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)

Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...

someacnt_,

My concern with AI is also with its energy usage. There’s a reason OpenAI has tons of datacenters, yet people think it does not take much because “free”!

someacnt_,

Oh. So modern presentation of the luddite movement is also propaganda?

someacnt_,

I used ubuntu until a few weeks ago, where I switched to Pop OS. In this sense, I might be close to the “normies”. Yet, I am incredibly skeptical of AI.

It’s distinct.

No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections (yle.fi)

Finland’s results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party....

someacnt_,

I don’t think that’s it, many countries with neighboring hostilities still suck.

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

someacnt_,

FIFA and Roblox, those gotta be one of the worst games to run on linux…

someacnt_,

Yeah it’s tough to expect general users to switch. I would just like linux to go over 5% threshold so that companies seriously consider it.

someacnt_,

I feel like I only use ls, cd and apt update & apt upgrade. Other commands are for when e.g. hardware malfunctions.

someacnt_,

It’s so sad how this kind of people succeeded. Or, is the society designed this way? Ugh.

someacnt_,

Yeah, I am more curious about if e.g. being a bigot even helps your chances in success. Bleak…

someacnt_,

Similar for ASUS ROG, only needed the ROG control center app

someacnt_,

Interesting, why does this just work for me? Hardware really is strange.

someacnt_,

How much money does Adobe get from M$? I guess that would be the deciding factor.

someacnt_,

The penguin pic is so cute

someacnt_,

Do you really think Torvalds is the one who would cave in to public opinion only? Really?

Also how much of C programming did you do

someacnt_,

I do wonder why rust is used in high-level time to time, then I realize the most high-level langs are sht.

someacnt_,

Agreed, does it contain some malicious content?

someacnt_,

Huh, I thought it was just a chat room to get to know people.

someacnt_,

Is it wrong to seek for online friends in discord?

someacnt_,

I make lots of use of discord. That does not mean I prefer it to forum style for communication - discord just suits well for one-off joke-y talk

someacnt_,

Yeah, tbh I am only using it because lots of people do not want to get off discord.

someacnt_,

Wait, wtf. People literally post helpful resources and artifacts on discord, and nowhere else? Huh. Just as I thought it is impossible to go lower

someacnt_,

I bet Samsung would not even know if open source is a thing

someacnt_,

Ofc I exaggerated, samsung is not a monolithic entity. I mean most, if not all, on the managerial position would not care at all. Also, does being android-like mean they are receptive to OSS?

someacnt_,

For me, it’s to have one less apps.

someacnt_,

Wellll, so I practically used to write my own WM

someacnt_,

I wonder if app devs would actually prefer snap

The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.

I am from india. These numbers are inflated due to our population and government and health sector office pc using linux (ubuntu). These office pcs just require a chrome browser and all the work is done on the browser Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc. I don’t see anyone here switching to linux on their...

someacnt_,

Oh boy, I have had such a different experience… So many websites used to not working.

someacnt_,

Even more, that India’s govt is supporting means that this is not one-off stroke, there is momentum behind linux.

someacnt_,

Agreed. Also I think web browser is sufficient for most workloads nowadays. Maybe vim or vscode for programming?

Neovim: Install using Distrobox or PPA native?

Found out the version of neovim on PopOS was fairly outdated, and I would like to use more recent versions. So I am confronted with these choices : Do I go for PPAs, or is distrobox fine for this purpose? While distrobox works well, I am worried that mismatches in packages could cause issues....

someacnt_,

I tried that, but

  1. It requires more configuration, the executable was not able to recognize lua-5.1 out-of-the-box.
  2. This approach excludes auto-updates.
someacnt_, (edited )

Yeah, just tried and there were no issues with dependencies. However, it seems like language servers are not working well. Gotta see how much of a hassle it is to go through it. EDIT: It was missing gcc, installed it and it works! It was less hassle than I expected, thank you!!

someacnt_,

Yeah, it is also interesting how people do not see in eyes of developers.

someacnt_,

I believe it’s the packaging process. It favors the standatd procedure of builds, and does not take account of various build systems (Seems C-centered). Seems this is why many apps end up providing AppImages instead.

someacnt_,

Well, are we in a recession? Because it does not seem like it for many people, not just 1%.

someacnt_,

It’s already dominant on the servers.
