Hold up. Is this the Electron that is effectively just google chrome running web apps ? I thought this was undesirable, it being bloated and slow? I’ve noticed a few server apps starting to use Electron, which seems like a bad idea. What have I missed, and why is it so important?

Dota and LoL. I shamelessly judge anyone who regularly plays either of those games by choice. Way too many people seem to like them.

So they added a date of birth field. Not technically doing anything wrong but a concerning direction morally. If it wasn’t for the fash / authoritarian bullshit in the world that field wouldn’t be a problem.

However, the question is how should the Linux community respond. Rather than grabbing pitch forks we should do what the Linux community does best. Support the alternatives, be it a fork or a replacement stack.

I’m watching for what lands and becomes popular. It seems inevitable that Devs in countries that aren’t forcing ID checks will build what we need. I hope to see either a fork of systemd free from redhat influence (always suspicious of large corps), or a true set of alternatives that can realistically replace the systemd stack.

The community will drive the change. Put down your pitch forks, pick up your keyboard yourself, or just support the good Devs instead.

I expect someone will just make a systemd patcher package that removes the field and provides clean error handling for anything that tries to use it.

I doubt it will over take Microslop offerings anytime soon, but I also think the rise of the Linux desktop has only just started. I think it will come from non-US countries where government departments make the switch. People start getting comfortable using it at work, which helps build confidence in the alternatives to Microslop shit. Also Valve still pushing hard in the gaming space. I think 10% to 15% market share in 5 years is possible. I doubt it’ll go beyond 20% without some fundamental changes, like laws forcing hardware OEMs to support Linux equally as windows and Mac, and better DRM support.

“That is a good idea, we should do that”. Rather than being ignored, it all go to shit, and then be told my idea was probably the right one when there is no longer a way to do what I suggested in the first place.

This happens WAY too often. I spend a lot of time ready for smug mode. This is at my job (guess what field) and at home.

This is the only correct answer.

They certainly could. Authenticity and originality become what is valued. Everything being public means you will know who is the original.

That is redundant. Everything would be public.

ALL information, except what you can hold in your brain, should be 100% public, with no limits on use.

An unimaginable concept right now, but I think it is essential if we hope to ever trust each other and achieve global peace.

I doubt it will ever feel a consequence in the form of a punishment from another country. But I hope its inevitable collapse might be seen as a consequence.

Full Software support and functionality from device vendors.

So, to deploy a new server they’ll want the tech to do a face ID check first? Maybe it needs the CEO’s face as they are technically the owner.

Bingo! Arch with an easy installation and core tweaks almost any user needs. Then you install just the apps you want.

That said I believe CachyOS has some out of box apps that make sense for the gaming oriented user base it is usually aimed at. Not sure the performance difference is worth the hassle beyond some very specific use cases.

I can’t access it. I tried to register but I never received the confirmation email. Tried a few times. I have my own domain name, but some social sites only permit the likes of Gmail, yahoo, and outlook, etc so maybe that’s the issue.

I have a utils die full of portable apps. They are just things I use occasionally that I don’t want to actually install, like a cd writer, sysinternals, benchmarking apps, mkv tools, and more.

On my topping e2x2 pipewire treats my 2 mono inputs as a single stereo input. Left is input 1, right is input 2. Tad irritating. Any chance this update will help?

AI is now hooking into military funding. It is a weapon in itself, and it supports modern traditional weapons. The AI bubble is literally ironclad and safe from popping for alone time to come. (Purely my suspicion, and not based on much evidence, but I wouldn’t bet against it)

Not enough comments in thread. New account. Weird facts, some of which is contextually pseudo tech.

So yeah, A lot more evidence needed. Pcap dump? With your skills I’m sure you can redact anything self identifying.

Edit: forgot the weirdest part. 127TB for data? Example: At full 1GB/s that’s 12+ days flooding that link. To sneak that much data out would take weeks.

Also I don’t buy someone with serious data doesn’t have some physical backups.

The choice for me was something that did well in gaming. Features like good VRR support made the voice of KDE plasma the only option. I’m not bothered about the KDE UI. It is nice, and similar to windows, so ready enough to get along with.

I am monitoring Cosmic. Once it has HDR and solid VRR, etc I may try it out.
