How do you verify that nobody is holding the original developer at gunpoint making them sign their compromised software with their real key?

The point I'm trying to make: At some point, you have to trust something which you can not feasibly verify.

For most cases the github repo and an occasional look on a relevant newsfeed is good enough. If it's not good enough for yours, the first question still stands.

Not as mature as ipv4 apperantly.

ipv6 works fine on my intranet.

If big company A or B can't get their shit together don't blame the victim. But if you don't believe me, I invite you to a debugging session. Honestly I'd be happy to be proven wrong if it works in the end.

Every time I try to use Ipv6, I run into dozens of weird issues and bugs and my selfhosted stuff becomes unusable/unreliable.

I don't know where the issue exactly lies in the chain of networking, but it sure is annoying as a motherfucker to debug. As far as I can tell none of my stuff is the problem and the issue lies either with my ISP or VPS provider.

For now, I removed the AAAA entries and suddenly everything works without any hiccups. Wake me up when those issues are solved... maybe in 10 or 20 years...

a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed

Switch to self-hosting headscale when they enshittify in an attempt to become profitable, duh

Godot [...] is open-source. By proxy, Slay the Spire 2 is also open-source.

Written by somebody who naively thinks open-source means: the source code can be viewed.

Typical game journalism incompetence.

Unintuitive.

I heard of photoshop when I was 13 and I installed a pirated version, just started clicking around and I always found what I wanted in a minute.

10 Years later, I switch 100% to Linux, I have to do some light design work, I open gimp - I CLICK AROUND FOR HALF AN HOUR FOR SOMETHING SIMPLE - can't find it to save my life. Give up and google it, it gives me a reply like yours "just go to a completely unrelated menu to conjure a hack out of your ass that barely resembles what you originally intended to do".

Fuck that UX man. I am so glad pirated photoshop works well in wine nowadays and I have a VM with a legit Adobe suite if I ever need to actually whip up my license for some reason (fuck adobe as well btw.)

I pray that one day there is a real competitor that works natively on Linux. I pay, take my hard earned money every month, whatever it takes, just make it intuitive and reach near feature parity with PS.

If anybody is still reading, sorry for venting, the GIMPs always trigger me, have a nice day.

but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

Licensing money.

tldr:

• life, work, family reasons for one of the guys. Nothing negative, he just has no time for the podcast anymore but will show up in their linux podcast from time to time in the future.

The one I installed, obviously.

Aaah finally, malware for Linux, truly the year of the Linux Desktop!

mainstream

is the keyword here. Mainstream is really big.

They come for the lions share first. You do nothing because you think you're unaffected. Then later they will come for you. And nobody will do anything for you either.

Of course, professional criminals like yourself (sarcasm) will find a way to escape the law. But I doubt it's nice to live on the edge of society like that anyway, being unable to interact with most services.

skill issue

The original ‘28 Days Later’ is less widely available due to licensing issues, so many have turned to pirate sites instead.

Piracy is a service issue.

I have a funny storry:

there is a book I really wanted to read. It is an old af psychology science book. There is no pirated version of it anywhere.

I found one copy of it on the used market and bought it because the price was ok.

At home, I open it up and see that THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER WAS CUT OUT!!! Literally there were the ends of the pages still bound with strings and you can see a wavy scalpel cut where the rest of the page would be.

Thats the physical equivalent of an incomplete torrent. Felt so bad.

Try the Freetube or Grayjay client, they work for me with VPN.

Any linux distro is significantly more lightweight than windows. But I'd say that there is not much difference between arch and for example the most bloated distro: ubuntu.

If you are a coder, the CLI will be easy. Most of the time the use of CLI is comparable to a single line in your code where you call a function with some parameters.

But arch is difficult for a beginner. (I wrote some more about my experience with it here: https://lemy.lol/post/61578059/24360161 )

If you have time, interest and discipline to read the documentation and learn a lot, then arch is great.

If you just want to use a Linux OS, install Mint and just use it. It's no big deal, just a normal OS. It's very intuitive, low friction and no microslop bloat.

Ambulances in germany have a camera recording everything that is happening inside.

It protects the patients if the first responders fuck up or are psychos. And it protects the workers from false claim court cases.

Whats bad about that?

Hmm thinking about it, I guess in germany the ambulance is not run by companies.

For those that don't know what any of that means (like me 5 minutes ago):

Arbitration is an alternative to going to court. Instead of suing each other in front of a judge, both parties agree to have a neutral third party (an arbitrator) settle disputes privately. It's usually faster and cheaper than traditional litigation.

The class action waiver means you give up the right to join with other users in a class action lawsuit against Zed. So if many users had the same grievance, they couldn't band together, each person would have to resolve their dispute individually.

Why tf are they afraid of being sued or class actioned against?

I haven't really used zed much and I'll delete my account and uninstall, just to show them that this sucks.

What's always missing is nomacs - the best image viewing and light editing toolkit app on linux.

Nobody ever mentions it. Why is that? Why? It supports all the formats. It has the best slideshow options. The UI is as minimal or as informative as you set it to be. WHYYYYYY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT IT??? Who paid you to be silenced?

(and yes, it can convert the formats)
