I’d really just like some glasses that simulate multiple monitors without needing special software. That’s all I want

There’s no conspiracy, just people learning their lessons from years of abuse at the hands of corporations.

No custom roms

I like to have control over my computing platforms? And I don’t like to have my shit break when they completely abandon the platform a couple months down the road? That’s why I want FOSS solutions.

Can we just get a thin tablet like e reader with small bevels that can run any normal OS? Android or Linux? Ik they are some but they are mostly Chinese with proprietary hardware and software…

The license matters. MIT allows for the embrace extend extinguish approach, or for companies to completely ignore contributions back to the main src.

Whatever he says he is doing doesn’t matter. In the long run a MIT license won’t be good. There’s a reason why the gnu core utils get so much work done on them. Because it’s required if you wish to use the code in your commercial applications

_Everything _ for some reason I am super sensitive to drugs of nearly any kind

Y not gnome web

There is a big difference between what someone says they are doing vs why they are actually doing it

Patents kill innovation. No one should be granted rights to a concept purely because they got to it first. It’s still really.

I didn’t even say anything about copyright or patent?

Competitive improvements the company makes make be kept secret, re packaged, and sold without making contributions to the src code.

Basically embrace, extend, extinguish

The code can be taken and used in close source projects

If you need theming stick with KDE and Qt apps. Gnome considers large amounts of theme to be a hack. Remember in windows there is no themeing so by switching that’s an extra feature you get. Even if half baked

In reality a lot of these desktop standards are competing. Some are working together but some clash. It’s part of the open source model

A general rule of thumb I follow is that if I’m getting a lot of resistance trying to do something, it probably wasn’t designed to do that.

Fractional scaling works better on KDE from what I hear to but I have no idea.

Personal something that has really helped me was switching to Nixos and configuring everything in a nix file. I don’t even complicate it with home manager just plane nix

Nix also makes installing developer binaries a breeze. Number one nix packages as the largest number of packages over any other repo. Two, it provides a very organized method for installing packages

I’m not sure I’ve ever actually killed a system, I’ve booted from UEFI shell manually just to recover systems. Back when I was using arch id just chroot into the system from a flash drive and fix whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blew my mind too, sad really

NIXOS, set and forget. It will not change unless you ask it to. Occasionally things might get renamed, but they set up warnings and don’t deprecate old naming for a long time

Reddit was already mostly American politics, most of the people who came kept the same ratios. Personally I see more non American posts then ever on lemmy, it needs to grow. Post and spread it around

Hard drives have longer shelf life than unpowered SSD. HDD are a good middle ground between SSD speeds, tape drive stability, and price they won’t go anywhere. The data world exists in tiers

Why not make them executable and stick them in bin
