I was referring to that app when mentioning the poor engineering choices that were made. My thinking is more along the lines of your co-commenter, sex offender++, or smth

I don’t know how available this is in every country but something like an enhanced version of that

Why not sell it as a big laser quest game? #YesAllMen /jk

Women are slightly more than half the population (51%?) and experience the most harrassment. I think something needs to be done but maybe not a dystopian measure. How about a shared register of dangerous men made by competent devs (not outsourced) that don’t leave the s3 bucket open to the intetnet unencrypted? Or - given that the police are useless - make the process of getting a restraining order more straight forward, require less evidence.

I use gentoo on my main PC and debian on an old Thinkpad.

Debian is solid as a rock provided you don’t edit the sources to make it a “FrankenDebian” where it is pulling in more recent packages like Ubuntu.

Aside from bug/issue spam where maintainers are stuck dealing with bogus problems raised by LLMs and posted by lazy humans, I don’t think there ought to be an issue. Maintainer burnout is no joke though; a bad day topped off with a bogus bug report might be the straw breaking a camel’s back.

The other issue is licensed code with stricter copy left protections can be stolen for training data and unwittingly regurgitated into a code base elsewhere. Unfortunately this would require lawyers to actually bring these cases to court, which is not happening at the moment. Seems more manageable as an issue though since there is a path to resolving it. I think I need to make an EFF donation to help with that process.

I used Krita for the first time the other day and it was a lot more slick than Gimp. Not a professional though, just got a hobbyist interest in graphic design.

It uses the gentoo package manager as part of it’s bootstrapping process when new versions of it are being built but the final product doesn’t have any gentoo functionality

Provided I can still use about:config to clear out all the Mozilla crap then I’m happy with Firefox. The only add-on I use is ublock-origin on my phone and also NoScript on desktop.

IRC with tor or i2p should fit the bill. On mobile you can use orbot to have the tor service running in the background and then configure your IRC client to use the correct port (5050? Can’t quite remember).

Not sure why people are downvoting you. It’s a simple enough task that the risk of LLM hallucination is very low.

Suspect it is just from people who dislike AI but in my experience using it as a replacement search engine for some stackoverflow type questions is about the only useful thing I’ve gotten it to do.

I’d recommend getting to grips with the fundamentals of python or JavaScript first before jumping in but Godot is a great open source tool for picking up some gamedev after you are used to the basics.

To flex on strangers online and post to unixporn fora

Shh we’re trying to circlejerk here! Keep your voice of reason down and grab some lotion

I tend to put work dir under documents but yeah would be the same having a dev or local dir for code.

Does seem like being funny helps with running for president these days

I need a GitHub style host for my git projects. They are all toys and I don’t write anything worth collaborating with me on! Anyway my current CV has my GH profile linked to it so that people can see at a glance that I have personal projects/toys and know a range of languages.

One thing I’m going to miss about leaving GH is that I’ve got a few commits in FOSS projects on there like the Gentoo Package Manager, although maybe I can follow them if they move.

Alpine package manager and use of MUSL over glibc are pretty similar to a BSD. Like others have pointed out there are limits to how closely a Linux distro can match the deliberate structure of those distros given the different design philosophy

OpenRC works just fine for me

Dinosaurs would be fun, and would accurately portray canonical

There are a few projects like lima and crossroads (not sure about name, might be crossover) by canonical which create a new user in /home and runs ubuntu “natively” on M series chips.
