  • Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?

  • Just this one. The philosophy is still there, Linus and TLF have abandoned it with great hubris. I am very disappointed in them.

  • If tomorrow you had 24 fully uninterrupted free hours to do with as you please, how would you spend your time?

  • I had this problem back in the great recession and joined habitat for humanity. Met some weirdos, was pretty good.

  • Do some work, go to the gym, cook dinner, plan a fun weekend event, go to bed early. I fear I am fully institutionalized at this point.

  • People of Lemmy, what games have you been playing lately?

  • Just finished Pikmin 4. I found it disappointing. I miss 1 and 2 which I see as complementary masterpieces.

  • Jill Stein hurts Donald Trump more than Kamala Harris, poll suggests

  • Alright I'll bite. I don't understand this. The word liberal has two meanings: the classical and the colloquial. The latter is indistinguishable from leftist, so I assume you are using the classical form.

    Classical liberals will still blame leftists, like ... blue maga wants them to? Who exactly is blue maga? Jill Stein supporters?

    Classical liberals also span the left-right spectrum right now, with many identifying as libertarian. I struggle to see what you are getting at regardless of who blue maga represents, but maybe there is a good point here.

  • should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support/am ready or dualboot ltsc and linux

  • It's a Canon. If I just sit down for a bit with it I'm sure I can get it working, but sometimes you just want it to work right now.

  • Throwing out another idea: I upgraded an aging laptop and put mint on it and it's my main right now, but I can get on the newer windows computer if I need to. I rarely need to now, though things will come up and its nice to have an out. Recently it was getting my printer working which I so rarely use. Didn't have the patience, just needed the doc printed, flipped to windows.

    It's a little sad to me. I watched windows rise to its peak with windows 2000 and slowly fall. Been using it since 3.1, and had dos-only for a little while before that. It's time to say goodbye. Been on and off with Linux since the early 2000s but this is my first real big push to use it outside of work or projects. Linux has come a long way from those days.

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.

  • My dad used to watch TV and I always wondered why given how shit it was, nothing but ads. He told me about how great it used to be when he was a kid. I can't help think the same thing is happening now with the internet. It's dying. It's already shit compared to 10 years ago and I only see it getting worse. Our generations will cling to it remembering what it used to be though, just like he did.

  • The importance of paying for Free Software

    Jump

  • Paying for software or software support is a genuine hurdle:

    1. Ads
    2. Sell user data
    3. Subscription fee
    4. Donations

    Article ultimately focuses on 4 wanting to make it a social norm. I think this is wishful thinking. Businesses need hard legal or financial incentives to do anything. Adding a (stronger) tax break could work, but now you've added complexity to the tax code which means more loopholes. Suddenly paying for android is "teeeechnically" open source and you get abuse.

    Seems like this is a solvable problem though.

  • Who owns your shiny new Pixel 9 phone? You can’t say no to Google’s surveillance

  • So what phones do you all have?
