That’s very nice ^^

Some of them will be able to understand in the future what he did and how he did it. It will take them years

Apparently some things never change. Anti-bullying policies or not

Please, put in a little bit more than 512MB, ok? ;D

The only internet we could get was from landline telephone operator. Maybe there already was coaxial from cable TV, but cable TV was very expensive in itself. And we weren’t rich

So that external usb modem was actually the hardware our ISP gave us, and it was fed with telephone plug, not RJ45

But it might be also true that in those times having a network card on MB was not a standard

I switched in 2003 or 2005. I don’t remember now

In those times, in order to connect to the internet, in our country one had to compile kernel modules for the usb modem. I copied (from a CD maybe?) some files my parent brought from work, copied the commands make config, make something, make magic,please work, reboot… And a piece of plastic that does nothing after connecting to the usb, started blinking happily with sweet packets of the link to the whole world. I was hooked

I dunno when Linux started becoming this good

IMO, sometime around 15 years ago. But it also gets tastier with eating ;)

Winamp

Try Strawberry. Although something more prepared for touch input might be a better idea

🤷 I guess that link aggregating platform might be more about “come to me with a link or thought to discuss” than “tell me something about yourself”
But that’s just me saying how I “feel the room”, not that it should be that way

Well, there is !newcomers@piefed.zip

Hello! :) 👋

you’re being downvoted because in Threadiverse it’s not customary to have introductory first post

On the software side, the Redditor explains: “I’m running a full XFCE Linux desktop through Termux, with GPU acceleration, plus Windows apps/games. The goal is basically to use the phone as the whole PC.”

Quite a few Redditors are asking how this system runs PC games, and the answer is via Wine and Box64, or in some cases, using GameNative, an Android emulator.

So, hold on. There is Android, running Termux, that runs graphical stack, that runs WINE. To me it feels like there is so much translation going on in here, just because of binary blobs

Have you heard about funkwhale?

It’s clear that it’s a bot. My question is: why it has upvotes?

Damn. That’s impressive

I totally understand but unfortunately sometimes “it is, what it is”

Don’t do this. Don’t publish documents online where everyone can get to it. Best, don’t put documents on the internet at all, even behind a password

This comm has in the rules “community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub”. So posts like this are going to be received poorly here

If you are for real, I think, in presents for parents it’s not about what exactly you buy. It’s about the caring thought. Maybe the guitar would have made her happy and you had a plan to get it. But the plan fell short. It happens. Instead of getting tunnel-visioned on the plan I propose you to think what else could you get her that would make her happy with the funds you have. And next year, start saving another month earlier. Maybe that plan will pan out

Wild idea: how about using a small usb C keyboard (or maybe BT one?) and your phone?
(on f-droid): ConnectBot, termux, Logseq, Editor/Emacs should be able to cover your needs for ssh and writing notes

Ah, but you see “asshole with a lifetime of poor emotional self regulation” is not “scheming fascist with an agenda”. That’s what I’m arguing with in your take

And in the scope of the question, which used plural “devs losing their minds”, I think that it would be a vilification to effectively say “they snap because they are fascists”

There are and will be non-fascist (and IMO also non-asshole) devs who snap. And I think some times it will be because of the feeling of responsibility for something, “either I fix it or it won’t get fixed” situation, lack of social/team/peer safety net, … (in my first comment I tried to rather portray the situation than name all those things because I just can’t name all of them)

The question I responded to was rather a general one. And I think that seeing all dev-related dramas as “that guy was just fascist all along” is similar to saying “all X are thieves” - a simplification that is easy to choose because it addresses our emotions regarding what has happened but not necessarily always the best explanation

That is when they have a meltdown and quit the project because demand for bug fixes or new features it too much pressure.

That requires self-awareness to ask oneself “maybe I need a break?” and I think such decision can be hard to make due to sunken cost fallacy. I think that with the pressure of the pings about bugs and requests etc, it’s easy to get into mindset of “it’s either on or off” with nothing in between. Because 5 bugs solved means only 3 other to go.
And the second option is to dig in harder and in this case “curate the feed. All of it. Whatever that means”

I’m not saying that that person did not act out of an agenda. But I can imagine a set of choices that lead to a catastrophic breaking point
