I believe that Bluesky will fail. Which is sad because I feel they are trying to make things better.

The people who wanted to leave Twitter have pretty much left. The ones who are left are going to stay. Bluesky have spent too long living in the weeds, with designing and building, and the momentum has been lost.

I hope I’m wrong. And this is only my opinion.

That makes a little more sense. Support would lend itself to chat speeds better I think. If you need help with an issue its usually urgent.

It’s not something I would use but I can see the benefit.

I don’t understand what you’re asking.

You want to setup Lemmy on Telegram? But instead of forum messages that I can read and respond to when I have time, you want it to be instant chat type messages?

I’m confused. If they’re are already channels on Telegram for things that Lemmy covers (you mention FOSS channels), then what are you proposing to cover? Why can’t we just use Telegram for those things we want to chat about? What are you doing differently?

Lemmy / Reddit / forums are a a different experience to instant chat. If I want instant chat I can find it. Again, confused by what you are proposing.

Source?

I had issues with AirPods connecting to Debian 12. It turned out to be codecs (from memory - I just remember some proprietary Apple shit) that were needed. Once they were installed it connected first time.

If yours were working and stopped connecting after an update this is unlikely to be the issue. But I thought I’d point out out just in case.

I have no context on it so maybe my post was unfair.

Putting myself in the position of reaching out, I think I’d just have made the decision that it should need removed, and removed it from the kerne without reaching out. I feel that somebody who killed his wife doesn’t get to be involved in those conversations.

That purely my opinion saved I appreciate it’s likely not popular. Just being honest. I can see the other side. And I do appreciate the part about closure. That makes sense.

He killed his wife? Is this a joke?

I stopped reading there. I’m not interested in his views.

UPDATE: Nope. He did. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser. I’m really unsure why they reached out to him.

I’m not going to say more.

This may be speculation but if you had to make a choice, I think you’d say it’s likely true.

Windows is nothing but a vehicle to Azure for Microsoft. But they’ll keep milking that cow for as long as they can get away with it. Slowly destroying it in the process. Windows 12 will be more ads, more telemetry, more spying and more data hoovering than ever before. We all know this to be true.

I don’t think he has. I disagree. I think he wants Linux to be Windows and that is a huge mistake.

I didn’t move to Linux because the software is so much better than on Windows. I moved to Linux because it gets out of my way, doesn’t spy on me and development is focused on making it better for me as a user and not to suit the next Skynet.

Linux allows me to be more productive and gives me functional software that does what I need it to. Sometimes it’s not pretty but I don’t care. It does the job.

If companies start taking on developing or porting their stuff to Linux, then Linux is going to end up like Windows - a shit show of corporate greed and an OS designed and focused for hoovering up users private information.

I don’t want that.

It doesn’t have to be like that. Much like the turtle and the scorpion story, companies do what is in their nature: they must keep making more and more and more to satisfy the shareholders greed and that does not align with me getting a better experience. It’s just how things are.

I personally couldn’t care less about Adobe’s software. Kdenlive is not Premiere Pro, but it does what I need it for. GIMP isn’t Photoshop, but does what I need it to. Krita or Inkscape isn’t Illustrator but I don’t use them. What astounds me is each of these are free and are incredible pieces of software.

As somebody else pointed out. If you want to use Adobe products, either use Windows as your primary OS or dual boot. It’s not hard. At all. Same for AutoCAD. Just because Windows is an either / or, for me, doesn’t mean it has to be for you. Use both.

Please just fuck off.

you can make your data available to the general public and help other open source apps to build their services on this data.

I like this idea.

I know I’m being lazy, but is the data sold? Are we just giving away our data for somebody else to monetize?

The self entitlement in open-source these days never fails to astound me.

Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

I see this a lot and nobody really ever explains, properly, why.

I have used Linux off and on for many years (mainly server OS such as RHEL and CentOS). I have now migrated from Windows desktop to Manjaro KDE. Using it for a year. Had one issue (wouldn’t boot after a kernel update), which I sorted quickly. Other than that it’s been rock solid.

But this isn’t a ‘I have a great experience so you’re all just haters’ post.

I know the stuff about it being a week or behind Arch. I remember something about the maintainers (can’t remember specifics) but they seem to be minor niggles that don’t affect most people.

Genuine question.

Why do you dislike Manjaro? I also know it’s a common theme to dislike it, so any other insight there?

This has already been posted https://kbin.social/m/linux@lemmy.ml/t/692947

Ok.

Is this not what the goal of OpenID was? They have a section on their website for providers https://openid.net/developers/certified-openid-connect-implementations/

But I’m sure you would have come across this so I may be missing something.

Ungoogled Chromium, Iridium, Vivaldi.

Note I don’t use any of them (I use Firefox) but I know they exist.

Phew. You’ve. Made. My. Day. /s 🥹

I’m now getting FOMO knowing that I won’t see this on Debian stable until the next 13 release 🥹

I love the stability. But damn the stability.
