I tell children to learn an artisanal trade they can do with their hands and an artistic skill.


Also blockchain is append only. So no deletions.


Some of us a powered by medical grade stimulants.


I’m still mad at Apple for making Swift instead of Objective-C 3.0. It was such a powerful and small language.
C++ has a billion features and Swift is getting more every year.
Objective-C was fast to compile, great in a debugger, and allowed lots of creativity and patching broken system components.
Lots of great software was written with it. CocoaBindings are magical.


There’s a lot of legacy stuff around. I saw some CORBA in the wild recently.


I agree that CLI and keyboard driven systems are powerful and should be further developed. New terminal emulators like Kitty, Nerd fonts, and Lazyvim show what’s possible.


Back to sourceforge it is then.


That was always allowed.


1% of people are ambidextrous maybe?


Which terminal emulator copies with ctrl+c?
You might have to compile your own kernel to get this to work.
It’s always that one firmware you need. Pure libre is only worth it for the ideologically pure, or if you just need a TTY.


Niri/Noctalia is a great choice either way. I love using it. Having this as the default would be a reason for me to install KaOS.


BTFS snapshots are such a huge improvement and a live saver if you like to tinker on your system. Also great for backups, which you should make. Use snapper and similar tools.
I’d only recommend ext* for spinning hard drives. For ancient slow machines, go with XFS or ReiserFS (if any distro still supports that even).


Systemd ist great and people who hate it, are also likely the same ones running openbox or a similar ancient window manager.
KDE should do what enables best user experience, not bend over for radicals stuck in the past.
I think KDE should force systemd.


Is this a take from the 1980s?
Of course cli and TUIs are great. However they aren’t as discoverable and harder to learn than a nice GUI.
Is vim or eMacs great? Sure, but so is Visual Code for other reasons.
cli and TUI suck at drag and drop and copy and paste between applications.


Omarchy because it installed in under ten minutes. Also it has a well riced Hyprland setup from the start. A complete install of LazyVim, OBS, and KDEnlive. I was able to start doing real work in the time it takes on other distros to read the installation instructions, let alone add nonfree packages or install lazyvim. It’s the most fun and productive Linux installation I’ve experienced since Ubuntu sent out CDs for free.
DHH is a bit of a douche. However the number of unsavory character and unpleasant people in the Linux community has always been non negligible. Starting with Stallman’s pedo chatter to Greg Kroah-Hartman banning Russians.
Yes, that’s always a possibility. It happened on Gaza pretty regularly. Missiles launched by Palestinians have a failure rate of 20% that fall inside the Gaza Strip.
The actual chaos of war is rarely perceived. Any event is plaid up in the media war.
