It’s unfortunate they don’t know what /s means

“We need more people to use linux, look at what MS is doing to people.”

People who have never used linux trying to use and learn linux by using an installer built by awesome members of the Arch team.

“C’mon do you even linux?”

It’s basically an ad to tell people their phone isn’t private and they should buy a Purism phone

Yes, your user agent detector is certainly working

What in the UX war crime is this for me to read an article. It’s like the polar opposite of for-profit media trying so hard that it’s just looped around on itself

WebKit is its own rendering engine that is open source

but thats just the rendering engine. How https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview integrates WebKit is closed source

All good, I was using gitea until I recently found out about forgejo. Plus they have a good migration guide if you’d like to switch 🙂

Nah, use Forgejo,

Forked from Gitea when they went full for-profit

Edit: Forgot to mention, Codeberg is a non-profit hosted instance of Forgejo, so you might already be using it

Which one was that?

Which carrier?

The freedom of Android means that there are tens of thousands of variations of devices / os versions / carriers all with different states of being close or far to vanilla and being more or less locked down. There’s a reason Graphene only officially supports Pixels.

Tribalism exists in every circle, perhaps moreso in tech circles. Ironically anyone who hates on a distro could just switch, or build their own distro if they were so inclined, but it’s often the hating that people participate more in than using their system. Use what works for you, and if it no longer works for you use something else.

It’s not a story the Vibe Coders would tell you

Great read, thanks for sharing. The specific permalink for those confused arriving at a page of links:

Ah yes the old “Join our Discord” rather than having anything beneficial being indexed

I would argue it’s the opposite of being good with beginners. Having used many distros for years, with most of my time spent in Arch and NixOS, nix basically follows zero Linux conventions and requires you to learn a new language, learn the conventions of the nix community and ecosystem (channels vs flakes, home manager, etc)

I primarily use nix but it’s specifically because I can write nix files and use them anywhere, so I’m a hobbyist, not a beginner

Mint is good for total beginners. Arch is good for those that really want to learn how Linux works. Nix is for those that want a reproducible system, not beginners

Ovaries are just inside balls. Women can have huge balls too

Even worse when the first link to talk about what you’re looking at is just a discord link

My absolute favorite pizza is: white pizza (no red sauce), mozz of course, shrimp, bacon, spinach, and some fresh garlic, preferably sliced and roasted. All on a thin New Haven style crust. If you’re ever in New Haven and go to BAR, it will be an incredible pizza.

In my experience the majority of tech workers don’t give a fuck about the moral implications of their work. They often justify it with “if I don’t do it someone else will.”

To an extent probably. But I use https://mullvad.net/ as my vpn, and they seem pretty great.

Yeah also facebook started as an evolution of men rating women on his campus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Facebook#Facemash It should be no surprise that zuck has recently started proclaiming that he wants a more masculine corporate identity, it’s been that way from the beginning

“The Kirkland Facebook (referring to the Kirkland House intranet) is open on my computer desktop, and some of these people have pretty horrendous Facebook pictures. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive.” - Zuck, 2003
