Your ability to ride the fence is admirable OP, don’t let anyone take it from you 🙏

postmarketOS, native, on pinephone. There’s a few mobile devices these days that can run mobile Linux.

Nah I ain’t about that rust life

cgi on the other hand… 😍😍😍

It’s as easy as following any set of instructions. Whether or not you actually understand what the instructions are doing is an entirely different story. If you actually want to learn how to operate a posix system, doing a bunch of command line installs of Linux isn’t going to help you with that. What will help is living in something with excellent documentation like OpenBSD, with minimal reliance on external tooling. Once you have the skills, they’ll transfer anywhere.

I run a real linux on my phone, so I can use it for anything I can use my laptop/desktop/unix for. I think what people forget is that phones are ultimately just computers with a WWAN radio, and the restrictive nature of Android and especially iOS obfuscate that.

And “illegal” means “business expense” at this stage of dystopia

If you’re going to give GNOME shit, at least let it before how much they destroy portability of GTK, enabling cancer like Client Side Decorations, and ignoring their community when it comes to things like desktop icons.

Russian/Chinese software contains spyware: 😡😡👿👿💢💢

Baldur’s Gate 3. Currently 20% off on steam, but I want to wait for at least 50% or something, especially for a $60 game.

Distrotube, Luke Smith, and Mental Outlaw all give me bad vibes. Shame they’re (minus distrotube) at the forefront of OpenBSD youtube content.

I’ll never forget him for introducing me to dungeons of dredmor, the game is the bad roguelike, but I don’t know if I ever would have gotten into roguelikes without it

I fucking hate this dystopian hellscape of misery and torment and I hope it gets glassed. Land of the fee, home of the slave. If I get drafted in WW3 I’m a turncoat as soon as they hand me a gun.

At least we made UNIX. UNIX is cool.

We already have that

Linus Torvalds or Theo de Raadt

pledge() and unveil() were already compiled into the chat client

very cool and based; I take it you’re a chroot fan?

For destructive commands I much prefer find / -type f -exec mv {} /blackhole \;

Every piece of hardware I’ve used past 2010 or so seems to have just gotten worse and worse, I honestly think I’m cursed.

2013 (? can’t quite remember), Sager gaming laptop with sli gpu config, gpus drew too much power for the battery (I believe), leading to black screen and reboot. Company feigned ignorance, ran unrelated tests on RMA, Socially awkward at the time and was scared to ask for a refund. Convinced to this day it was a scam.

2015, desktop computer I built randomly powers off during usage, no errors, not the power supply, unsolved to this day.

2020-2022 5 cheap ebay thinkpads, all with one hardware problem or another. My beloved T60p was the last to go.

2022-present Framework laptop, ports suffer intermitent failure, webcam microphone stopped working. Replaced webcam/microphone, works for a day, breaks again. Unsolved.

2022-preset Steam deck, had to RMA 3 times for various hardware issues, works now, but the right trigger still rubs against something but I can live with it. Spilled coffee on the left trackpad so it’s sticky; that’s my fault though so I can’t blame it on the curse.

They said the worst thing that could happen, not the best.

OP of the reddit post is doing a pretty good job pointing out themselves why Mozilla is hated. They pretend to be pro-privacy and defend the internet from Google, while making mad cash from none other than google, introducing garbage like DoH to cloudflare, pocket, cliqz in Germany, and cucking to drm standards. Anonym is just the latest trash on heap that is Mozilla’s track record.

There are alternative browsers (webengine (stripped down blink), webkit, Ladybird, Netsurf, text only (in order of supported features)). Do they support every web standard perfectly? Do they have the same level of extension support? Maybe not, but they’re good enough for most usecases. Stop pretending Mozilla and Google are the only options.
