I don’t use Fedora I use Arch btw, but in all seriousness please don’t.
You’ll become the laughingstock of the century.
Just curious but has anyone tried Bcachefs?
I haven’t due to a number of concerns:
- no time unfortunately, got other higher priority tasks.
- heard of corruption issues.
- been hearing and seeing more news of EXT4 and BTRFS improvements.
- Kent’s previous behaviors have kinda dampened/soured Bcachefs’s hype for me :/
If I recall correctly KDE’s Kate has folding and isn’t Electron-based (Qt-based?)
If I recall correctly I think he uses Fedora on a Macbook Pro.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
The current supply chain ecosystem (including Trump’s tariffs) that’s probably driving up the cost makes me sad as I really want to see more Linux phone choices like this come to market as it drives the prices of other similar devices down. :(
I really want to buy a Linux native phone that’s comparable or at least close to Samsung’s S8 or Google’s Pixel 3.
In maybe 2 years if there’s still nothing decent available I’m probably gonna buy a used phone on Ebay or wherever and just flash pmOS or GrapheneOS. I’d rather spend my time than money at this point.
This being $2039 CAD I can’t find any way to justify the price. Even as the Linux enthusiast in my circles this is too much.
For 2k I’d honestly rather buy a Framework 16.
Either way best of luck to the campaign👍
OH SHIT!
Most exciting from this is that the Mesa Vulkan driver RADV will be officially supported.
YOOOOOOOOOO
This is a huge win for the open source community!!🥳🎊🎊🎊
Relevant and recent MESA drivers news:
Windows Recall is one of their AI solutions they’re pushing onto people which would screenshot everything on your system in order to assist users in searching through previous desktop interactions and whatnot.
Security researchers are highly against the rollout of this ‘feature’ as it uses AI and the previous betas have shown that Microsoft is incapable of ensuring the prevention of abuse from malicious users.
Ex: a user entering in their credit card information for an online transaction would have that information stored as an indexable/searchable piece of information by a malicious outsider.
Microsoft has yet to show competance in their abilities to prevent the creation of such a wide attack surface.
I don’t use Redis or any alternative to be honest.
If I were pressed to choose; I’d honestly consider choosing Redis as the new AGPL-3.0 license is actually impossible to revert if development continues.
As someone that’s a major fan of the AGPL-3.0 license, even I have a hard time believing that this would bring people back to Redis.
It’s an upward battle from here on because they were the ones who chose to demolish their customer’s trust.
Previous discussion threads about EU OS:
Relying on Redhat’s Fedora is quite a blunder if they go forward with that choice.
Redhat’s already shown us plenty why we shouldn’t trust them especially while they’re currently still owned and controlled by IBM.
Holding the use of a less restrictive license against the project because some unrelated party could come along and fork it without contributing back seems like a strange position to me.
While I’m not sure how to interpret this, I can answer the second which might help answer your first statement.
I’m also not really sure what that criticism of MIT is trying to say. Third party contributors don’t get paid for their work? GPL projects also don’t have to pay people submitting changes.
It’s not about payment but primarily about reciprocation:
[Case 1] I have a project licensed under MIT
P1: “Hey thanks for the contributions I’ll add your name to the MIT license.”
P2: “Dope, btw I see your company uses it for xyz can I see what the new project looks like?”
P1: “Fuck no”
P2: “You’re joking right”
P1: “MIT license, read it and weap”
End scene.
[Case 2] I have a project licensed under GPL-v(2,3 or AGPL-3.0)
P1: “Hey thanks for the contributions! Here’s the new changes.”
P2: “No worries and thanks! I hope the project improves even more.🫡”
End scene.
yeahh I’ll stick with Krita as it’s licensed under GPLv3
The MIT license helps capitalist overlords and leaves developers and users with nothing as the only thing that the MIT license requires is for the user/dev to essentially pay with exposure by sharing the MIT license that contains a list of contributors :/
The GPL license provides systemic trust as it requires users/devs to contribute any improvements to the project back to the developers under the same license hence ensuring the cycle of trust and furthering progress

Thank fuck
I’ve been hoping that this would be added/fixed ever since I abandonded Windows several years ago
53·5 months agoI’m half meming with the title but at the same time Meta publicly claiming that pirating books isn’t illegal if there’s no proof of seeding seems real ridiculous
Zuck continues to display true idiocy at work:

When I got frustrated with Windows around 2019 and I had spare time I decided that enough is enough and spent a couple of days to take the time to learn Arch Linux and all of its quirks.
Around 2020 I started tinkering with NixOS as well which culminated as my NixOS configuration.
Although at this point I’m going back to Arch Linux as I actually know how to fix and make modifications faster and better than I could on NixOS.
