The dedication of this man is irreplaceable! Color me impressed 🫨

Do Lemmy and PieFed support transferring subscriptions?

He hates Rust too? What doesn’t he hate now?

What do you mean by better?

Phoronix commentors will be furious.

Why has Lemmy had such problems with this and piefed, the new kid on the block, just makes it work? I’ve been subscribed to the linux experiment since I joined and it simply doesn’t work. The last video I see here is from 2 years ago.

Why do you think it’s AI?

Tainted and unsigned module it says. Have you tried undoing some of your modifications? They might be the root of your problem.

Are they sitting on Trump’s flaccid dick and hoping it gets hard with this agreement? What the fuck is wrong with them? Some countries can even coordinate their own states to provide access to each other, but they are happy with an entire surveillance state accessing that data? Where is the national pride? Where is the sovereignty?

If China asked for this level of access, the EU would tell them to suck it, export limits be damned! But the land of the fat and unjust asks and their only comment is “that’s too fast”? The EU and its citizens are such pushovers. Incredible.

Snaps and DEs are what drove me from Ubuntu. Gnome2 was actually nice to use and unity was too Mac for me. Then came snaps and things kept breaking. The breaking point for me was going “sudo apt chromium” and it installing snap, then chromium through snap.

Oh, and I have never had a stable update experience. Every single update lead to me being dropped into a shell or TTY session without a functioning display manager. I tweak my system in many ways to develop software (many PPAs) and updates always meant going on the hunt for new ones to be able to develop again.

Now I’m at NixOS and although the community forums are a constant slugfest with nonstop drama (so I dont visit them anymore), the system has actually been stable for my entire usage period. A friend audibly gasped when I switched channels and updated. They too had never seen a smoother update experience between multiple different major versions (20.05 - > 24.05).

If all you do is develop in devcontainers, have no PPAs, dont modify your system in major ways and just are stock, yeah, pretty much any distro can be pleasant.

I’ve met Arch users who will confidently tell me untruths about Linux in general and have no idea how to even approach solving problems beyond copypasting instructions from the Arch wiki or forums.

“What happened?” I dunno

“What did you do?” I just ran “echo…” (Or some other meaningless command)

“Do you have logs?” No, what are those?

“Please at least tell me the versions of the things you are running” How do I get that information?

I guess it speaks to the stability of Arch that it can attract users who have no idea what they are doing and still work. But it does also speak volumes about the image it has as an elite distro that makes you look like a Linux expert without actually being one.

@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world, @JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world is right. You stumbled onto an extremely hot topic on the fediverse. Blahaj is extremely sensitive to it, that’s just how the community is.

If they dont want your identity (the current account you are using), just create a new one and use that one to learn their ways and become a good member of their community.

However, and I’m saying this out of completeness not because I actually believe this is what you want, if you just want to debate their points and break their rules knowingly, please don’t. Just accept that they have different preferences than you do. Life is too short to willingly spend time where you aren’t wanted.

If only nixos could be made minimal. The smallest install is hundreds of MB large. How small can gentoo get?

Kinda funny they dont use their own steam chat.

The Twits got their way and now mastodon will be a bonfire.

App allows showing all those reactions?

Can’t say I had the same experience, but staying on an outdated version is going to make you run into problems as the one you just experienced.

21.3? Why not upgrade to the latest?

Drama?

Enough outrage to remember for the next election? Probably not. Enough outrage to spam ministers and cabinet members with emails? Probably not.
