  • What's one of your favorite genres of music and what's your favorite thing about it?

    Jump

  • Ok I was curious. I'm not a metal fan in the slightest but I gave Archspire a listen. That was really cool! Felt like an evolution of Polyipha. I probably won't listen to them again but I really enjoyed hearing it for the first time - excellent recommendation!

  • Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears

    Jump

  • If it is not open source, and you are not paying, someone else is and you are the product.

  • When we finally get to a 4 day work week, will you be happy to see Friday go, or Monday?

    Jump

  • Uh huh...

  • "When"? Lol.

    I appreciate your optimisim but at least in the USA, this is never happening.

  • OpenAI is now valued at $157 billion

  • Unless there is a drastic breakthrough in computing from a hardware company in or energy sources from likely a nuclear company, this is not possible.

  • People with framework laptops on linux (nixos?) what is your experience with them?

    Jump

  • I've had a 13in for like 2 years now? Running Fedora KDE.

    Software-wise, it is nearly flawless. Linux always has some gimmicks but the Framework experience has been on par with a Dell XPS 13 that I have also run Fedora on in the past.

    Hardware-wise, also been pretty nice. Battery life is ok, not amazing. I broke the screen on a trip one time - I bought a replacement from the website and did the maintenance myself to put the new one in. Not going to lie, that felt pretty awesome (and I've built many high complexity desktops in the past). Fixing your own laptop isn't something you can usually do.

    The touch pad is currently haven't some issues, so I'll replace that too eventually.

    Quirks: Touch pad responsiveness was never excellent but certainly serviceable. The 4:3 screen ratio is odd to some people, though I personally really enjoy it.

    At this point I can't picture myself going back to laptops I can't repair myself. It has been a breath of fresh air. If you care less about that and want just the best Linux experience on a high end machine, Dell XPS might still be the one, but Framework comes very close in my opinion.

  • I live in a constant state of fear and misery

    Jump

  • Ah but I love in the US, so I'll just continue in constant fear. On the bright side, those marginal raises go towards the hilariously high cost of therapy.

    What are some terrible places to do road trips to?

    Jump

  • Precisely. I used to drive through there on my way to/from college. It sucks there.

  • What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?

    Jump

  • I have Jellyfin running in a container on my little home server. I've never tried it on a RaspPi so I can't really speak to its performance there.

    Jump

  • YouTube, mostly. Twitch.

  • Jellyfin. Use it daily. Dropping more and more atreamjnf services, it's been awesome.

    Honorable mentioned to Revanced.

  • Athol. It's in Mathachuthetts.

    Jokes aside the town does suck.

  • [UPDATE] What are questions that will make it sound like I can afford a million euro house?

    Jump

  • Yeah dude. I'm in Boston. It isn't San Fran levels yet but if you want a lot (with a rotting house on it) that will be a nice $2mil and then you can enjoy removing the rotted house.

  • I've just been introduced to Taco Bell. What should I be trying?

    Jump

  • Better food.

  • Goldilocks distro?

    Jump

  • Fedora. Silverblue if you want even more stability.

  • What affect has capitalism had on your mental health?

    Jump

  • I'm going to hazard a guess that if you live in a country where medical debt does not exist, you have socialized healthcare.

  • [Unpopular opinion] Linux is not a good choice for regular users

    Jump

  • You were fucking with your GPU drivers, lost access to your GPU, and you have concluded from that that "regular users" (who don't know what a driver is or does) should not use Linux?

    EDIT: Stick a "normal" user on a stable distro with a clean UI like Mint or Fedora, keep in mind they probably don't know what a terminal is and will probably never use it, and they will be fine for almost all cases.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI.

    Jump

  • I think you're missing that the AI said "The XTX is great, the XT is not worth it: choose the XT".

  • Whats your go-to naming convention?

    Jump

  • SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE just has the best name
