31·13 days agoAnd now we have a new streaming service 🤔 Really nice.
I was thinking that by now, we should have enough bandwidth to stream webcams straight to each other without HLS or WebRTP or whatever. Just make the device available over a port or, as you did, cat it to another PC and voilà. Actually, why don’t we stream raw camera feeds?
I hope they will do the same for the Fairphone 5. Being able to run Linux on it would be amazing. It would blow the librem5 and pretty much any other Linux phone out of the water.
11·18 days agoRayon and dashmap were new to me. I have to look at CoW pointers. Not entirely sure I’ll need CoW pointers but first I have to understand them.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice. Are there any other groups on Signal? Probably joining one allows you to meet people from other groups too.
is this the beginning of an article and a link is missing?
I really think if flatpaks were built upon nix, it would resolve these problems. It would however bring a new problem: people would have to learn forsaken nix 💀
Are you doing his in any official capacity? Who are you? And who is “us”?
uBlock detected facebook.com on the page. Wth?
43·2 months agoSure, the anticapitalists won’t be anticapitalistic. That’s just an excuse not to vote “they’re both the same”, then wonder why right wingers keep driving countries closer to the cliff edge.

Of course I don’t. Maybe I should’ve said “never met anybody obviously like this”. Nobody knows about my political leanings or sexual preferences at work either.
Don’t want this to happen? Vote for a left wing party in your area or nationally. Change won’t be immediate, but every vote counts. The right wingers are friends of business and unfettered capitalism. They will let this happen time and time again.
🤣 it hath bean beeholden !
I have yet to meet a furry or trans IT person IRL. Is there just a higher concentration of them across the pond? Or is bullying a bigger issue there maybe?
I don’t think suckless is full of silicon tower elitists glorifying a dead programming language, the joke wasn’t for you.
Or nix. I don’t know what’s worse.
About time. Savannah and the email contribution process are heavily outdated. Nice to see more projects realise that. Good on them for not moving to github, like Mozilla did with Firefox.
That’s a well-meaning assumption, but no. My personal experiences asking for help from the linux community are very spaced out, and I understood long ago that asking for a GUI for something in linux is akin to requesting the murder of Torvalds.
For sure there are lots of people who start using linux and demand it works for their very specific usecase, verbally assault project maintainers, expect they be treated like paying customers despite getting something for free, and just do not understand that many opensource projects are passion projects with no commercial goals. I won’t even get into the FLOSS purists who lose their minds when somebody does want to make money with opensource and dares use a different license.
But what I see more often is somebody asking for instructions to do something and being told to RTFM, “just do X”, or copy-paste some commands into their terminal. And when the person asks for something without terminal commands, the responses are less than friendly. What worse is when developers suggest building a GUI (or even presenting a GUI) to make things easier for newcomers and advanced users going “but there’s a CLI for that” or “please don’t” or some other response like that.
And of course this isn’t limited to the OS. As a developer, the “just use vim/emacs” crowd are equally as annoying. Trying to get neovim configured was such a terrible experience I just dropped it. Not only because of neovim itself, but because of the community too. “just learn LUA”, “just copy this into your config, it’s not that hard”, *copy-paste some link to a stack-overflow question that has nothing to do with the question I asked*, etc. . It’s quite similar with the Rust community that would love to lynch anybody using
unsafein their code.It’s that unhelpful and dogmatic attitude that I find is pervasive in tech communities. KDE developers and Gnome developers get along well, KDE and Gnome users could wage wars over which DE is the best. Zeus help you if you’re a beginner and get in between.
That’s the worst part but kconfig doesn’t sound much better. Even if I had time, I wouldn’t try contributing to the kernel for those 2 reasons alone.
It is great that he got to the point he is now. Kudos for pervering.
