  • What is your favourite selfhosted wiki software and why?

    Jump

  • I'm administering a wiki.js instance. Despite it being written in node, it's a pretty nice wiki with a lot of modern features builtin. The only other wiki I've ever setup and used was mediawiki, which is obviously a complete legacy php clusterfuck where you need add-ons (which are terrible to install and configure) for everything.

  • I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

    Jump

  • All bluetooth headphones should work.

  • PHP is dead?

    Jump

  • PHP is a shit language, but far from dead. There are too many legacy killer apps that are used A LOT and won't be rewritten in a different language anytime soon. E.g. Wordpress, Mediawiki (The engine behind wikipedia and other wikis), Nextcloud, Typo3, ...

  • Any good non-flat Gtk themes?

    Jump

  • I can't help you but I just came here to say that I also very much dislike the trend that everything has to look flat. Imho visual, simulated depth (through shadows, gradients, etc.) can make UIs look actually much cleaner, because hierarchy, grouping of elements and differentiation between buttons/text inputs and non-interactive elements is often much more obvious on first sight.

  • Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode

    Jump

  • If jetbrains is that much better really depends on the language. Also, jetbrains shit is damn expensive, so not a fair comparison.

  • Microsoft Edge could use a win

    Jump

  • Edge is pretty good...

    ...for downloading Firefox.

    I wouldn't even use a proprietary browser if they'd pay me for it. Let alone a chromium based one.

  • D or d come on

    Jump

  • This is the way!

  • Was Unity lying yesterday or are they lying today?

    Jump

  • Wow, a proprietary quasi monopoly changes their business model into something extremely exploitative and hostile. I am totally surprised! Shocked even! Blimey!

    Seriously, why spend years of your life learning to work with some technology that can at anytime be made instantly obsolete or impractical to use when some random asshole you don't know decides something dumb. If there's a FOSS alternative, always prefer that.

  • System76 values and ethics (Opinion)

    Jump

  • I don't understand what's not realistic about expecting from a company that markets itself as privacy focused to not add surveillance fascist services to their website. It's not like they demand system76 to implement something crazy difficult. Quite the opposite, they just want them to not do something. That shit doesn't add itself to a website. So just don't fucking do it and you're good. What's unrealistic about that?

  • libmem_cpy-strnrrn-std-clib_Cmvaeffc_ld-TWA_nif.aarch64(32bit)2-0.13.2-23.2.so.7(3).1.1.gz.conf

    Jump

  • Seriously though, why? Is there historic reasons for that? Did they have to pay extra for more letters back in the day?

  • Firefox is the only way.

    Jump

  • Um actually... Opera and Edge weren't always based on chromium!

  • I really wonder how americans were able to fuck this one up. There are three ways to arrange these and two of them are acceptable!

    Edit: Yes, I meant common ways, not combinatorically possible ways.

  • No comment

    Jump

  • Haha wow this is the worst, dumbest statement I've heard in quite a while. Amazing!

  • Cats are cool but what about doggos

    Jump

  • Of course I like doggos <3

    Fun fact (made up based on personal experience): Most cat persons also like dogs but most dog persons don't like cats. So cat people are generally more reasonable human beings.

  • rust in the linux kernel

    Jump

  • Yes, but he's doing it because he values the technological advantages of rust as a systems programming language, not because he likes to punish coders. In fact, rust has been the most loved programming languge for 7 or 8 years in a row now according to the big stack overflow survey, so it doesn't make much sense for the purpuse of punishment.

    This satiric picture resonates with a certain community of conservative and overconfident C-programmers. It has been created by bryan lunduke, who is a reactionary dumb fuck.

  • Incel vs Excel

    Jump

  • I didn't even know the origin of that term. That's kinda sad, thanks for the info!

  • The update manager in Linux Mint updated libllvm15 and now Brave is completely unusable for me. Is it possible to fix this without using a system backup?

    Jump

  • Simple fix: Install firefox and never use a chromium based browser again. :-P
