Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.
Now it’s a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.
It was nice for a while… We need a new place :-)

LOL phrased oddly? English is not my first language.
I thought it was common knowledge that paying for something (console) and owning it was not the same these days, so I just want to know what I am buying…
What is it?
I have no clue what partysite is.
If the containers are related you could use docker-compose, which has commands to stop / restart/ remove all containers at once.
I have never owned a console, but have been playing games since I was 4 (that would be 1981). Also I can’t remember paying for anything in those days :-) Everything came on cassettes and floppies.
I made some very basic text based games back then. Nothing that anyone else would ever play :-)
(Also I am a developer, but not in the FOSS sphere)
Everyone is making jokes but the thought has occurred to me: Yes, we have an organisation in place that is ready to replace him. But, from what I understand, he IS the benevolent dictator, and he has used his power a few times to stop some changes that otherwise would be in the kernel right now. And I think that’s a good thing.
Debian actually does security updates on those old packages.
Debian is more a “stable and boring” kind of thing :-)
Moccamaster is the best coffee
So… tl;dw?
This is just lazy, copy pasting a link to YouTube without context? Please tell me why you shared it, what was interesting about it?
Not sure exactly how many blobs I need to install Linux on my pc. I know there’s proprietary stuff for my Nvidia card (optional) and possibly NIC, but most hardware is supported by the kernel these days?
Also, the play store. That’s my biggest issue with Android. Everything depends on the store.
I was afraid someone was going to point out that AOSP exists, but it’s not very useful.
The Android that everyone uses and talks about is very closed, because everything depends on the playstore.
I don’t have the answer to the best form of government, but communism doesn’t work. That has already been proven?
And capitalism is actually pretty good, until it turns everything into ads and destroys the planet :-/ I wish there was something better.
So why do so many people seem to think Linux needs to become bigger on Desktop?
Personally I am not looking forward to the consequences: capitalism will make sure there will be something on Linux to make money off. They will try to conquer it, introduce walled gardens, stores you will have to pay for, by watching ads.
Android was Open Source once until Google decided to mainstream it.
Thank you!
I still hate the trend of creating video’s of something that can be summarised in 2-3 lines of text. So I can ask, right?
And yes I am also a lazy mongrel. I think. What’s a mongrel? I am lazy.
Tl;dw?
I could not turn off mouse acceleration, which was a deal-breaker for me.
Actually not Wayland’s fault if I remember correctly, something about libinput changing it’s format, and my window manager wasn’t compatible with it yet. After trying for several hours I found a bug report (can’t find it right now). The Devs thought it was a minor issue, but for me it was huge so I decided I’ll wait another year.
I must say, Wayland was smoooooth, didn’t even experience X as slow until I tried Wayland.
Ah but then you are talking about servers? That would be a different story! The machine that I use for development (laptop) should always work (I would trust nixos with this) and if I want to spin up a container (docker run) or install an application (apt install)or change my vpn client configuration it is currently effortless and I’m not sure nixos can do that.
Actually using nixos for some of my private servers would be a nice use case…
I’m very critical of all the immutable distrubtions - as an old timer in tech I’ve seen so many things come and go. I’m also curious, ofcourse, and already tried out a VM with NixOS and everything seemed fine. But I’m going to wait it out before something like that becomes my main driver, I have a job to do (development, systems, stuff) and I cannot afford to say “sorry little to no progress today, my OS needs tinkering”.
(Feel free to tell me I’m wrong :-) I love to tinker with new stuff).
You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.
