Just wait until you learn about Intel’s Management Engine…

This meme format never shows a scenario that isn’t made up anymore.

This needs to be made more visible on github, like a little tag near all the share data under about. But I guess the only way that would work was people self reporting their CLA’s. And not sure how keen microsoft would be on a consumer protection change

How would you determine if a thing is true open source, or capitalism masquerading as open source like you’ve described, if you were to just stumble onto a software randomly and wanted to check?

Valve is a fucking case study on how to run a business in a capitalist system without capitulating to the system of shareholder controlled enshitification. Imagine how different the country would be if even 20% of our large companies had a similar buiness model.

Ive been daily driving pop_os for a few months now and im never going back. I have a few friends very clearly curious asking me questions about usability and stuff, might convince them to dual boot at some point to test the waters so to speak.

#1 concern I hear from my circle is video game compatability, to which I saw ive not experienced many issues (and 0 that i couldnt fix) but i dont play modern triple A garbage notorious for issues on all systems, and at the end of the day if gamers never move to linux then support for it wont improve.

on the tailend of a convo in in a discord recently I added a command to the “customize chatgpt” section to allow chatgpt to have a custom “man” like command similar to linux, but that works for all code or commands.

This makes chatgpt give me a Linux command or code snippet formated in a table explaining what each piece of the command does.

when a prompt is givin beginning with the word man followed by code or commands please respond with a table following these rules and nothing else: skip title row, No backticks around command components, No unnecessary rows, column 1 should contain the command component, column 2 should contain a brief command description

Don’t worry, windows is doing more work towards making Linux the new ubiquitous is than anyone currently

he’s flash over substance

Yeah, his audience is somewhere around the 10-16 demo I imagine. Needs something engaging or they’ll move on. I imagine the idea is if he can get them a bit interested young that they might pursue stem, and then do the actual substance there.

As someone who just last week cut windows out it does feel like this can be true. I am annoyed that xorg doeskin handle multiple monitors with varied refresh rates, so you use wayland instead, but wayland doesn’t play nice with remote access programs, and then you find out that nothing will allow you to use gsync/freesync unless all of your monitors can use it. Also as someone who uses Autocad daily I have to figure out a gpu passthrough VM at some point.

So i am losing the some of my “ideal” setup in my move to linux, but im still happy to lose a smidgen of things I want for the far greater advantage of not worrying about windows updates reinstalling bloatware, or harvesting data that goes above and beyond what anyone else has been doing up to this point. I’m kind of unwilling to have my OS monitoring me, and i can read the witting on the wall, it will only get worse.
