What I find more disrespectful is people that join the greater community, but who have no appreciation for the giant amount of philosophical and political (on-top of the technical) work that was done to enable the relatively free/libre and open environment we have with Linux-based operating systems today. I find it so sad that GNU haters have successfully established divisive memes such as the Stallman GNU/Linux copypasta. We owe so much to the GNU project and GPL license, and I think we would be in a much worse place today if Linux had not been licensed under the GPL. I am fundamentally opposed to people who try to move the distributions into a less free direction. Some may see this as elitism, but this opposition is not born out of a desire to dominate or humiliate anyone, but rather to protect the many great achievements of the FLOSS movement.

How did you get the idea that only 1 million people know of Firefox? I’d say the true figure is at least two, perhaps even three orders of magnitude greater than that. Browser user statistics don’t really say much about that.

Nonsensical argument. Just because a piece of software is FLOSS and non-Google, it is not automatically a “weekend side quest”. Big Tech is very happy that these false equivalencies have spread as well as they did, but they don’t hold a kernel of truth, at least not anymore.

Also doesn’t really happen to LCDs. It depends on the liquid crystal alignment technology to a degree and the backlight, but realistically, an LCD will not fail without operator error.

More like LFS

There is also OpenHAB, but I think Home Assistant is the more mature one of the two.

By that reasoning, everything on the Internet is unsolicited. You complain and someone provides a solution. You should thank them for that!

With that attitude, nothing is free. And the “free” in free and open-source means free as in free speech, not as in free beer. Your comment is also generally disrespectful to the people who invest actual time into creating the software that you rely on everyday and take for granted. FOSS software is deployed all over the world and there is no software environment that does not make use of it in some form, not even MS Windows. So you think the time of the people who put their skills to use for the betterment of computing overall is worthless? You guys do not even begin to understand how many resources and how much thought is expended by strangers for your comfort.

You’re too delulu to realise that you and your stupid-ass comment are the problem. What does this even have to do with OP?

How is EndeavourOS true neutral? It is arch-based and has a “pacman-based rolling release model”.

There’s nothing wrong with writing code in a text editor. Plain vim is the best imo

You have to enable DRM in Firefox, then it will work. But Disney only allows low resolution streams over browsers.

Had to experience that first hand. I tried to get my best friends to register on my Matrix server last September and join a room for our group, and they did, but I rarely see any of them online and I only get responses days later, if at all. One even stopped using it entirely, lol. Ah well, but at least I got a Matrix server out of that that I can use to federate with other like-minded people.

I can guarantee you that no app on or for your phone can do a fraction of what GIMP is capable of.

Are you certain that Element does not run in the background? It always does for me, both on my Samsung with OneUI and on another Samsung with LineageOS. Perhaps not really helpful, but my observation is that Element’s background “listening for notifications” is quite reliable. Might this be due to some settings in your OS?

Wrong. You just need to know what you’re doing and must not be impatient. Just spend 5 damn minutes reading before you do the thing. We don’t always need unnecessary abstractions upon abstractions upon abstractions.

Funny way to misspell vim

One of 8.22% 🥰

Whoa the disrespect. The way she threw away C++ haha

Also, the whole thing was next-level cringe

GPL enforcement has, in fact, been very successful so far. I recommend this Wikipedia entry.

And then there is the very successful lawsuit from the Software Freedom Conservancy against Vizio.
