What, you don’t have a personal archive of your youtube favorites?

Better start the backup now?

Since we’re all here, any chance we can make a small push in the direction of having a standardized “style”/“theme” file that we can plug into the different systems?

@BaardFigur My dude, I understand and celebrate the memes, but please understand that linux first time using is a sensitve period in people’s lives and the reach of modern social media means there is some x% of users who will have a bad time, because they saw that meme and took it seriously.

It’s a statistical guarantee.

@wgs I really hope you’re trolling. Don’t do that.

Yes, this is expected and means the regular safeties are working. Don’t turn those off please.

@wgs

Generally, don’t just copy paste things you find online.

Something else to be aware of and stay away from is “rm -rf /” which will delete everything on your computer, including your operating system. Naturally this will crash the computer and you will not be able to start it again.

(You should be able to boot from a usb stick though.)

@HKayn This may sound cold hearted and I swear I’m not:

There is no obligation for the world in general to pay someone for open source software. (right now)

Everyone should think long hard about writing software and donating time and effort because of this.

I don’t like this state of things, I would prefer some kind of “general usefulness” tax financed grant thing.

Moves like this are a bit… strange? It was on github. There are 1.8k forks, with intact LGPL. What is happening here? Is their dev work worth 99$/year ? Not saying people don’t deserve to get paid for their work. I’m just not seeing the business case for this.

@TeaHands
static content is free on github pages and very convenient to edit and update.

@RandoCalrandian @vitonsky

Languages are just tools, so let’s take the shortcut to the xkcd about editors 😁

@oshitwaddup @yogthos can’t find the source anymore but I saw a video that basically said “the closing of twitter was so chaotic you can claim whatever you want, they can’t check whether you are lying”

So if you are already on board with lying your resume… That? Former “senior backend engineer 5years”?

Obviously don’t put stuff they can just check, like claiming skills they can just test you for.

Also maybe not lead positions those people might be too famous.

@agelord

As in, where things are, why they are there and how it works as a holistic thing, isn’t being talked about.

Redesigns are graphic or graphic subsystems.

But nobody touches aspects of which settings make sense to put where, taking the education level of the user into account.

And there is no at least semi centralized group that organize that some setups actually work and are well explained. E.g. Sound, If you run into an issue there, good luck finding a support contact or manual.

@agelord

My main problem is that I have “legacy” games that don’t work on Linux as well as Linux ports and native Linux builds being worse than their Linux counterpart.

#limuxgaming has come a long way and I’m curious and excited to see where it goes, but ease of use simply doesn’t have parity. I want one click installs with identical performance.

The bigger issue with the #linuxdesktop in general is that no distro actually thinks about it as a product. 1/2

@peter @argentcorvid algorithms aren’t evil, the important part was always control over how it works.

The fediverse is in an excellent position to first recreate the problem of having too much and then someone will take one for the team and develop some easy to configure filter that weights things properly.

Give it 6 months…
