We need to get Foss nerds in gov to put public funding towards the kinds of projects. Donations and corporate charity aren’t enough

Never used it but I bet 50% of the messages are “test”

Moonrise kingdom but it’s hard to pick one.

Yeah i think all the people criticizing him for picking pop are actually braindead. That criticism should only go towards pop for shipping their cooked new de way to early with no warning label and the linux community for recommending it.

I dont think the lan party thing holds anymore weight. Its fine to install linux at a lan and he would have had just as bad of an experience at home since the issue was with cosmic and left4dead and was not caused by him.

I dont think he switched his devices that was just his reasoning while chosing. He ended up picking bazzite and kubuntu.

Its pretty well received. I think only the fringe parts of the linux community who love linux but dont understand it are getting upset.

Why would we want a “heres how to switch to linux right” from ltt? Even the big linux youtubers get roasted for making those videos incorrectly.

It is if you have a groovy linux admin wizard guiding you

I got a decent laptop for work. But its fans are always cranked trying to run the full spyware stack of W11+copilot+365copilot, Crowdstrike, lansweeper, screenconnect, fortigate.

it takes less than 5seconds to “reinstall” them. I swear distros cant win with whatever software they include/dont.

I think you dont. You just run it

Ai is becoming a very good tool in the.software industry. I think people are going to have to really consider their AI stance and really hone in on what they actually find to be the unethical parts because it will be so widespread and you need to fight against its parts instead of it as a whole.

For me the copyright asymmetry and hostile integration with existing life. I dont want to live in a world where openAI can train a model off all works but i can’t do the same. I dont want openAI to scrape every website relentlessly while I get blocked from scraping any large website.

For power usage I dont care. Thats a local government issue. They choose to let an ai data center drive up costs and water usage then they suck and I’ll hate them for approving that. Theres plenty of places to put a data center where power isnt an issue.

For art Its awful because its trained unconsensually off artists works and two because it has no intention behind its creation. Ive come to believe that the reason we appreciate art is because of the human intention that goes into its creation. Thats why there is objectively bad art that we resonante with more than a perfect still life because the artist has a story alongside the piece and gives it unique value that ai could never truely replicate.

This is why I can accept AI usage in software development and still hate AI. If its built off an open source model its fine but i dont want to support development using these closed source models and end up in a world where american megacorps control the tools to create software.

Project managers. Not racist I just dont like them. Never met one that wasnt a useless overpaid Muppet.

Yes we must think of the children of course.

Money isnt the bad thing. Money isnt why companies like Microsoft and google are bad. Its control. In linux everyone has their hand in the pie such that no one can control it. The person at the helm linus torvalds has proven to be a good leader and not bias towards any corporation in particular.

Its only age verification if you set it up.

Yes, it saves others from wasting their time. I really disagree with the people that think its fine to sit through 2 or 3 bad seasons because the show gets good later. Either I can skip to later or dont watch.

Happens on fedora as well

It spends money on advertising so people are convinced its good at something

Windows has a thing similar to cups to detect and use these.

Hardware support is either non existent>generic driver>manufacturer driver that never gets updates

This sucks because on windows you’d be getting manufacturer driver support with updates and software tool support for additional configuration.

All the other “problems” are double edged because yes they are a problem for some but for others its a huge positive. For instance having all the files like .bashrc .compose .desktop as a way of configuring things is cool when you know an arcane when you dont. It should be in the settings gui.
