None, because I get almost all my apps from F-Droid and the repository maintainers themselves will quit making updated versions available if the app enshittifies.

Also, I cannot imagine accepting that shit from Samsung or Xiaomi in the first place. Believe it or not, instant boycott.

A program isn’t just a program: in order to work properly, the context in which it runs — system libraries, configuration files, other programs it might need to help it such as databases or web servers, etc. — needs to be correct. Getting that stuff figured out well enough that end users can easily get it working on random different Linux distributions with arbitrary other software installed is hard, so developers eventually resorted to getting it working on their one (virtual) machine and then just (virtually) shipping that whole machine.

2017 for me!

(I had been using Linux on some systems since 2002 and first tried it in the late '90s, but 2017 was the year in which I ditched Windows even on my gaming machine, permanently.)

I assume the time zone is right, but I’m not sure the userbase is there the way it is for the German-speakers. If there are actually a lot of Indians on Lemmy, I feel like most of them must be writing in English instead of Hindi or their other various native languages.

You forgot to “beep boop.” Please report for debugging.

Because the articles are written by capitalists for capitalists to manufacture consent for capitalism. Of fucking course they’re going to downplay or ignore the Free Software/non-profit aspect of it!

That’s how you get monetized spying enshittified email. Do you want monetized spying enshittified email?

Fun fact: it turns out that all those LEDs rely (in Windows at least) on a super-insecure driver written by a hobbyist who last updated it in the mid-2000s and has since disavowed it.

the song “It’s raining men”.

What? You thought it was a gay positive song released in an era where that lifestyle was condesended upon for it’s negitive stigma in society?

How is “It’s Raining Men” “gay positive?” I mean, I get that it isn’t anti-gay or anything, and I get that gay guys might like it, but it’s sung by women and seems very hetero to me.

I feel like the $190 they want for the Pi 4/microSD version would’ve been a reasonable price for the Pi 5/NVME version.

These are people who absolutely lay down to go to sleep at night and fantasize about getting to bug out.

In other words, they correctly realize that society as it exists sucks, but are too deep into right-wing propaganda to consider that less drastic measures than a collapse (such as voting for socialist policies) could fix it.

I just upgraded my seven-year-old Ryzen 1700x/Vega 56 system to Ryzen 5700x3D/RX 9070 XT. It wasn’t because my old system was actually inadequate already, though. It was mainly because I have no idea how long the market is going to be fucked up from the tariffs and wanted to get the upgrade done before the shit hit the fan, just in case.

To add to this: If both men and women are allowed to have multiple spouses (which is the only fair way to do it), how do you deal with situations where a husband has multiple wives who has multiple husbands who also have multiple spouses? This sounds like a nightmare

That sounds Denobulan, LOL.

I’m still only a little over halfway through the documentary, but here are the main new things I’ve learned so far:

1. Even if all the uncertainty and instability stops right now (which it won’t, short of Trump being removed from office entirely), we are going to be absolutely fucked in 3-6 months not only with higher prices, but probably also outright shortages just because every business will have a big gap in their procurement pipeline due to the couple of weeks of uncertainty that already happened. And it’s not just going to be computer components; it’s going to be consumer goods of every kind.

2. Everything about this seems almost designed to murder small businesses.

Watch the Louis Rossman segment of the video, where he actually makes a pretty good point about why the price doesn’t go back down: https://youtu.be/1W_mSOS1Qts?t=5774

It’s just a figure of speech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Considered_harmful

Alpine and its components are fully open source, you can make whatever changes you want to them.

Who is “you?” That’s the important question.

There’s always this big debate about whether GPL or BSD licensing provides “more freedom,” but that’s the wrong way to look at it. The correct way to look at it is that copyleft licenses provide freedom for end users by prohibiting developers from obstructing their freedom, while permissive licenses provide freedom for developers by permitting them to restrict access to the code for downstream users.

Using permissive licenses in Alpine doesn’t make Alpine itself not “fully open source,” but it does mean that Alpine helps facilitate non-Free downstream uses. In other words, somebody could take Alpine, customize it for a device, and then sell that device to the public without making any code available except for a kernel that they wouldn’t even be able to use on said device because of DRM. I’m not okay with that.
