  • If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time?

    Jump

  • I would spend more time doing charity work and contributing to open source.

    I already volunteer for a reproductive justice charity, and I would LOVE to devote more time to making the Linux desktop more accessible for visually impaired folks like me.

  • do you use 4chan?

    Jump

  • I won't moralize because that never stopped anyone from doing anything, ever :)

    What I will say is, with the vastness of the internet available to me, I would not personally choose to sift through the reams of malice and hate to find the useful grains that no doubt exist, buried.

    Plenty of other permissive fora where even somewhat radical ideas can be expressed but without the embrace of genocide, Neo-Nazism and rape.

  • What's Your Favorite IRC Client, and Why?

    Jump

  • Convos - self hosted web based client written in Perl of all things, because it's small, simple, does exactly what I want and no more, and avoids my having to faff with client + bouncer which was getting old 10 years ago and feels positively withering now.

  • Yes TheLounge is fantastic but I switched to Convos these days because it's lighter weight and I somehow manage to overrun my disk much less often :)

  • What is YOUR top 10 list of all time best video games?

  • Good choices!

    The original Thief is such an incredibly atmospheric experience. Nothing quite like slinking around in the shadows watching that visibility meter...

  • Hat tip to you for including some classic games. Most of the respondants are making me feel positively antediluvian :)

  • I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH UBUNTU 24.04 😡

    Jump

  • Nice to see that KDE is so well supported! I'd been running Manjaro KDE the last time I had Linux installed on my desktop but I may give Debian a try this time around.

  • I'm not gonna speak for Canonical but snaps enable commercial vendors to more readily ship their apps on the Ubuntu platform.

  • Humans are inherently evil. There is but a thin veneer we call "civilization" that stops of from beating each other to death with whatever object can be brought to hand.

    And what does any of this have to do with the price of tea in China? :)

  • It's movie night. You don't know who's coming but you have to pick a movie everyone vibes with. What do you choose?

    Jump

  • I get it.

    I don't love Snaps either.

    However, a thing I try to remember and wish others would as well is simply this: Canonical is a company. Their goal is to make money. They are not out to create the ultimate free as in freedom Linux distribution.

    This does (to my mind) not make them evil, and ESPECIALLY doesn't make the folks who work there evil. It makes them participants in the great horrible game that is Capitalism, and expecting anything else from them is going to lead to heartache, as you've seen.

    If you want a Linux distro that shares your preferences and won't try to jam snaps down your throat, you might consider giving Debian a whirl as many others have.

    Continuing to ride the Ubuntu train and raging against the dying of the light when it continues chugging in the direction it's been headed for YEARS seems ... futile :)

  • I'm giving up — on open source - Blog

  • Is that contract copyrighted?

  • I'm giving up — on open source - Blog

    Jump

  • I think by far the biggest problem with open source is that the user community fundamentally mis-understands the nature of the transaction involving them and the developer(s) of the software they're using.

    I think if we could make everyone sit down, take 10 minutes and just read The Social Contract Of Open Source a lot of people would keep developing OSS software.

    Brass tacks: You are being given a gift. The person who gave you that gift owes you NOTHING because.. They gave you a gift and by using their software you chose to accept it.

    I see it all the time in the open source project I co-maintain, and I have it SUPER easy beacause ours is really just a bundle of configuration files for Neovim.

  • You play your game bro, you play your meta ass cheap way!

  • Gamer culture in one :)

  • Audiophiles of Fedi, how do you like to listen to your music?

    Jump

  • Mostly? I have uncompressed FLAC encoded music on my Plex server, and I listen to that streaming through over ear (Bose NC-700) headphones on a computer, or on our home theater system (Monitor UK, 2 stand speakers, 2 rear wall speakers, 1 subwoofer) with an Onkyo receiver.

    I also listen to Tidal hifi a bunch and electronica on youtube because some of the Boiler Room and other club mixes are pretty dope :)

  • Something tells me this might not be a good year for games...

    Jump

  • Fun meme, but honestly I think the only folks it's gonna be a bad year for are AAA game devs, who I already sympathize with.

    I think indies are gonna keep rocking some outstanding content. Content made with and for love will always beat content made for money IMO :)

  • Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are “as painful as possible” for Firefox

    Jump

  • Apple does not care and will never care about open source other than the bits it has to care about because they're a part of Darwin, their core.

    They're a company offering a particular "experience" and open source products do not fit into that model well at all. I use apple phones because I'm partially blind and for a very long time the accessibility story on Android was a screaming nightmare (I'm told it's got better) but I have no illusions that they're anything other than a profit seeking MegaCorp with all that implies.
