  • Considering Starting Linux

    Jump

  • Tbh, I don't recommend beginners to try out multiple distros in the beginning. Realistically, if you don't have in depth Linux knowledge already, all you'll be able to differentiate is the look of the DE and the wallpaper.

    I find, too much choice tends to confuse beginners more than it helps them.

    So I'd rather recommend something simple like Ubuntu and let them try out the flavours with the different DEs.

    Choice is better for later when people actually understand what they are looking for.

  • You lost your job? Your wife an away with the post man? You are just grumpy?

    Go splash the Mona Lisa's glass and all your troubles go away!

  • @aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me Soup with Mona Lisa splashed on it. The soup is enjoying the Mona Lisa and the Mona Lisa is very tasty.

  • TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism

    Jump

  • And the FOSS system seems to be collapsing right now for the same reason that anarcho-communism only works short-term until someone sees commercial value in it and abuses the system to the limit.

    • Big corporations initially providing exceptional services based on FOSS and after a while use their market share to excert undue control about the system (see e.g. RedHat, Ubuntu, Chrome, Android, ...)
    • Big corporations taking FLOSS, rebranding it and hiding it below their frontend, so that nobody can interact with or directly use the FLOSS part (e.g. iOS, any car manufacturer, ...)
    • Big and small companies just using GPL (or similar) software and not sharing their modifications when asked (e.g. basically any embedded systems, many Android manufacturers, RedHat, ...)
    • Big corporations using infrastructure FOSS without giving anything back (e.g. OpenSSL, which before Heartbleed was developed and maintained by a single guy with barely enough funding to stay alive, while it was used by millions of projects with a combined user base of billions of users)

    The old embrace-extend-extinguish playbook is everywhere.

    And so it's no surprise that many well-known FOSS developers are advocating for some kind of post-FOSS system that forces commercial users to pay for their usage of the software.

    Considering how borderline impossible it is for some software developer to successfully sue a company to comply with GPL, I can't really see such a post-FOSS system work well.

  • Let's go over it line by line

  • Linus does not fuck around

  • You want some stern words?

    You are a useless peace of dead weight in this community. Your comments suck and you have no idea how people work and how to professionally communicate. I hope you never have a job, let alone one in a management role. You should leave and never come back. Get aborted retroactively! You make the world a worse place by your mere existance!

    How do you feel about that? Are you going to change your behavior because of these "stern words"? Or are you going to think "What an idiot" and ignore everything I said?

    And we both are just anonymous randos on the internet and while this comment is public, not a lot of people are going to read it and it will have zero impact to either of our lives.

    Now imagine I was your boss, both of us are publically known people and I post this on the company social media account together with your full name.

    And people still dig this up 10 years later to laugh at it.

    Please reconsider your interpersonal behaviour.

  • I hope I never meet you. You really don't know how to human.

  • Cli for the win

    Jump

  • Could have just used propper capitalization of the acronym. Would have been equally clear.

  • Cli for the win

    Jump

  • Easy, add a lowercase s after the acronym: GUIs.

    Apostrophes are only used if the acronym ends with s: SAS's or alternatively SAS', both are possible.

  • Cli for the win

    Jump

  • Gui's? What letter does the apostrophe replace? Did you mean to say "gui is"?

    So "gui is are for idiots"?

    Maybe the idiot is the one who doesn't know how apostrophes work?

  • New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks

  • Finally designers are realizing it's not 2013 anymore and nobody liked the Win8 designed-in-powerpoint style.

  • Linux user

  • Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu.

  • Yes, I program in HTML

    Jump

  • I recently had to work with XSLT (may it's inventor burn in hell for their crimes).

    That's pretty much programming in XML. It's probably the worst possible thing.

  • FreeBSD can now boot in 25 milliseconds

    Jump

  • !woosh@feddit.de ;)

    This was a joke about how Apple just takes open source stuff (in this case, they used FreeBSD as a basis for MacOS/iOS/iPadOS/tvOS/watchOS), rebrands it and then claims it was theirs.

  • FreeBSD can now boot in 25 milliseconds

    Jump

  • The advantage is that you can rebrand it, close the source and sell it as your invention.

    Btw, did you know that Apple invented Unix?

    Nah, mine was a joke on how Microsoft published Powershell on Linux and somehow thought that anyone was gonna use it.
