I still see master branches everywhere, even my new personal repos. This git renaming story is one of the most stupid OSS pushes I remember. That and Gimp fork, that then died out I think.

30×50=1500, 50 tests per day is a lot. That is a lot to read and understand all the edge cases, let alone writing them.

Agree with this explanation. Also in a monorepo it’s much easier to reference code between modules and I think this leads to too much coupled code. It takes more discipline to limit the scope of modules.

labwc has it :) I use it with XFCE, integration is pretty rough but will hopefully get there over time. No crashes so far!

If I have to cross reference info from two windows I like to have one floating and always on top. In that case its nice being able to roll-up the window to see whats behind it. Minimizing would be similar but it feels more permanent than rolling up.

So there is no shading on KDE Wayland? This feature works in Labwc. Death by thousand papercuts…

No, there is no modern smartphone like that, yet AFAIK.

I understand security implications but I’ll be getting Fairphone 6 with /e/OS over Pixel with GrapheneOS. For me FOSS ranks higher than HW security features, and buying Google device goes against FOSS principles.

Its nutjobs like them that are pushing progress further. State security apparatus doesn’t want to work by law. That can be observed worldwide.

French went after Telegram even though it doesn’t market itself primarily for security. It was just that some public channels went against their strategic objectives and they felt the need to bruteforce their way.

So GrapheneOS is very right to be nervous and pack their bags before they come knocking at the door.

Being old company from Germany, EU shouldn’t put you at ease.

GPLv2 vs GPLv3 matters. At least to corpos. You can’t just brush this away when they have a clear position on this.

Compare Ubuntu and MacOS. MacOS ships ancient version of Bash because its GPL2 which allows for coexistence with proprietary software on sold machines.

So if Ubuntu gets rid of GNU coreutils and sudo what else stays GPL3 on a barebones system? You can swap Bash with Zsh like Apple did. And just like that you got yourself a corpo friendly distro to ship proprietary software. Just like Android, and look where that got us.

Good points!

I think its rather expectation management. At some point you are going to see a wall of errors in command line. Even local hosting without exposing to internet will for typical user mean configuring routers because each wifi router creates NAT-ed subnet by default. Installation might be trivial but accessing your basement server from living room might not be.

one liners can get pretty verbose, but it scripts nicely

Good paper! It confirms my bias therefore it is great :)

I’m using runbox with custom domain. No issues.

I think this intiative is spot on. I would describe current approach of 2 major OS vendors, Google and Microsoft as such:

Microsoft demands standardization at firmware level via UEFI, ACPI etc. because they bring OS kernel and userspace.

Google demands Linux API version and brings just userspace.

In theory Google approach better facilitates open ecosystem but each OEM treats Linux kernel as just a firmware blob so the end situation is actually worse.

On the PC we have standardized firmware while Android chases Linux API levels each release and thus undermines the whole ecosystem.

A new online crusade. Once again heavy accusations with very weak supportive evidence. It became a pattern already.

In digital age it should be understood as a personal liberty to not be compelled by state to use nonfree software in any shape or form. Just like court rulings must be public and legislation too (sadly this doesn’t apply in EU).
