  • I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝

  • I’m genuinely curious what you consider to be the “Arch experience”, other than pacman.

  • Source available means you get the code, and that’s pretty much it. Open source/free/libre is this, but you also get permission to modify and redistribute. “True” open source licenses also have provisions regarding having to distribute modifications.

  • Most the people getting the term “open source” wrong tend to use it to refer to so-called “source available” software - damn to I hate that name. IMHO, “open” being overloaded to mean both libre/free and open to read is where most of the confusion stems from. I like the FOSS/FLOSS acronyms for this reason.

  • Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers?

    Jump

  • Eh, they just don’t pre-build and publish the image themselves. Why assume malice? 🤷‍♂️

    Btw, Fossil isn’t really a wiki software but a full on source control system a la git, with its own front end, that includes a wiki. It’s developed and used by the SQLite developers. It’s a single executable, so it’s pretty easy to run anywhere already, I assume they may just provide the Dockerfile for convenience…

  • The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.

  • Ok, I laughed

  • The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.

  • You completely missed the point.

    You’re using a statistic that literally tracks web views to justify your view that Linux users that just use it for work by browsing the web don’t really count. You say this despite them having counted as Windows users on their work machines, using the same metric, since forever before they had to use Linux.

  • This. OP seems to discredit those numbers based on two arguments.

    1. They’re not personal computers but work PCs
    2. Those computers are mostly using a web browser and that’s it - no “paradigm change”

    However, this is ignoring that

    1. those computers counted when they were on Windows too
    2. those genuinely working from a browser could probably have done so on Windows as well, no “paradigm change” either going on here
    3. the usage stats are counted from web hits anyway

    Considering this, I’m not entirely sure why the numbers wouldn’t be any more or less significant than before.

  • Just like they previously counted for Windows before switching. I don’t understand why you arbitrarily decide that commercial/enterprise use is not a valid piece of market share that’s been part (if not the largest piece of) the counter since forever. Hell, the market share counter literally counts web browser hits lol

  • What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence?

    Jump

  • Oh, man. I’m in my 30s, and now that my son is 6.5yo and has found his passion for chocolate milk, I rediscovered mine. We purposefully limit how much we buy every time we do the groceries, or we’d both be drinking the thing day and night. I’m slightly lactose intolerant, on top of it…

  • Lemmy Active Users looking good

  • I shortly used lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works before settling on lemmy.ca as well

  • Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

    Jump

  • Exactly this. There are some things I usually ask about every interview that kind of shows my hand about what I’m looking for, but also forces them to either answer me, or eliminate themselves as candidates in my mind.

    However it’s important to note that this only holds true when you’re an in demand sector, where you aren’t an easily replaceable token. Otherwise they can just skip over you as too much potential trouble lol

  • I'm Switching To KDE Plasma 6 But ...

  • Interesting! As an ESL speaker, I actually didn’t notice his accent at all. I always assumed he was an American lol

  • KDE neon 6 Distro Now Available with the KDE Plasma 6 Desktop Environment - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • I just answered your question. If one wants latest up to date, LTS release-based distros are just not an option. You do you lol.

    FWIW, I only reach out for Flatpak if I can’t find something natively. Unless you just use your DE as is without changing the look of things, making your apps look consistent is made pretty complicated by the requirement for your theme to be repackaged and distributed on flatpak. The sandboxed nature also can get annoying for certain types of apps (e.g. IDEs which tend to reach out for external tooling pretty often, etc). I also tend to trust my distro’s packagers a bit more than randos on flathub, but maybe that’s just me.
