Well, I can only speak for myself: EVs cost 5-10k more and I can’t charge it in one minute like a regular car.

That’s an improvement. But risk = impact * probability. Realistically, the probability of installing such an app from repos is virtually non-existent. My point is that Wayland comes with some improvements, but I’ve been seeing comments like the one I replied to for almost 15 years, as if Wayland will revolutionize Linux desktop. It won’t. Probably most users won’t see any difference, except for bugs caused by the migration.

If that was true, we would be on Wayland for years. But in reality, it proves minor improvements versus heavy investments to migrate from X. And that’s why it’s still a fetish and not a standard.

I don’t understand this fetish. Every day I read about problems people have with Wayland, while I’ve been using X for the past 15 years without any issues.

I love FOSS.

The first step in dealing with addiction is understanding it and identifying it. The problem is that parents often don’t speak to their children about the dangers, and what it could mean, with concrete examples.

The issue of addiction to technology is deeply rooted in the way our brains are structured. This is particularly concerning for children and teenagers, as their brains are not fully developed until around the age of 21. Simply having conversations about the dangers of addiction is not a sufficient solution, especially considering that many adults are also addicted to technology. After all, here we are, possibly spending time online arguing with strangers instead of engaging in more productive activities.

To address this issue, it’s crucial to move away from a black-and-white mindset. Extremes are rarely beneficial. It may be necessary for children to have smartphones for safety and communication purposes, but these devices should come with certain restrictions. For instance, limiting the ability of children to install any app they want or restricting excessive screen time could be effective measures. By implementing these controlled measures, we can provide the necessary safety net while also safeguarding the mental and emotional well-being of younger users.

However, real-world actions should be informed by scientific evidence. Any approach we adopt needs to be backed by data (and not opinions) proving its effectiveness in achieving the desired outcomes.

This post highlights some issues with the commercial software that are obvious to anyone who is working in the industry, but completely ignores issues of the open source software. Both good and bad software is being developed using each model. It’s pointless to compare them this way. Linus in his book provided more substantial arguments in favor of open source.

But why? Isn’t building from sources the whole point of Gentoo?

Merry Christmas!

Wow, it’s even easier to find on the screen. Thanks!

Use whatever you want, why do you care about what feelings other people have towards Ubuntu?

Post body can be used for that. It’s just some posters don’t bother.

I wasn’t begging for a clickbait though!

Personally, I think all the anti-Threads stuff is paranoid rhetoric

From Wikipedia:

Paranoia is an instinct or thought process that is believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety, suspicion, or fear.

You might be correct. People don’t trust in Meta and have concerns about potential consequences. According to this definition, paranoia isn’t necessarily negative. Meta has made several questionable decisions in the past, such as its involvement in the genocide in Myanmar.

I see you point, thanks. Yeah, it’s good that we have different options for different people.

We don’t want you on Mastodon. I don’t mean to offend you, but Mastodon is the way it is. The lack of “smart” feed is a feature. It might be not for you.

Brb, got to buy an iPhone.

If it was just for game OSTs and other less common music. Over time I noticed that my playlists on streaming services start losing songs, mainstream music. Sometimes this is because an artist leaves one label for another, but sometimes I have no explanation. And I don’t even notice that until “hey, I haven’t heard that song in years… wait, where is it? where are these albums??” It’s frustrating. This pushed me to pirate music again.

I’ve been using Nvidia and Linux for 13 years. I’ll repeat:

I literally cannot remember the last time I had a driver issue with Linux but go off

I’m In the need of an offline calendar and gallery now that simplemobiletools got sold off

This doesn’t sound reasonable. Why can’t you keep using existing apps? Are they underdeveloped and you’re waiting for some features? If so, it’d be helpful to see what these features are in order to suggest a suitable replacement.
