Incredible picture to use for a new job announcement

Same in Summit. I guess there needs to be a standard that everyone follows, because currently I have a client which automatically handles normal other-instance links, and these link helpers actively break it!

Doesn’t Windows leave program files and data all over the place too?

[email protected] and [email protected] aren’t the busiest communities but there do seem to be a few people giving it a proper go

Maybe get the cheapest micro sd card or usb drive you can find and install it on there? You could probably double your storage size for a couple of euros!

Well professional developers are often employed by companies that want make use of open source code to sell their proprietary code. It seems more likely to me that those companies will instruct their developers not to work on any GPL code rather than some big ideological shift in the individual developers.

Also I wonder how it handles reposts, i.e. the same link multiple times in one community

Looked it up and apparently that quote was from 2001, and it was specifically about GPL code infecting their precious intellectual properly. Does sound like classic Ballmer though!

Which billion dollar companies hate Linux? The likes of Microsoft and Google actively contribute to it and make money from it!

There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities a while back talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you’re holding out until it’s perfect then you’ll be waiting forever!

I think Summit can do it too

I doubt most Android TV boxes are open enough for you to replace the OS, I know my Android TV with Google TV with Chromecast HD 4K Streamer Box Stick™ (or whatever it’s called) isn’t.

Lemmy can be as simple if not simpler than that:

1. “Hey, Lemmy is a bit like Reddit, have a look at <link to your instance>”
   • they can have a browse, no download required
2. If they want to join, enter email, username, and password
3. Verification email

Na don’t worry, I raised an issue and the developer confirmed it was a bug, so you did everything right, no need to post the link twice!

I guess it’s still true if you want to get that perfect Arch install, but I’d imagine most people still saying that now had a bad experience many years ago and are unaware of how simple and smooth it can be nowadays.

I was about to say “what article?” because this is just an image post, but then I opened this in the web ui and apparently there’s a linked post that my client isn’t showing!

Defed Investigator seems pretty useful

Exactly, this feels like one of those things you see in politics where someone claims that because one group is slightly bad then they’re just as bad as the incredibly bad obviously evil alternative. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, and don’t get the doomers drag you down to their level!

CEO being an idiot but not the end of the world that everyone seems to think

I use whatever the machine gives me when I type vi, I assume it’s usually vim
