I use almost exclusively FOSS and I have monthly/annual contributions set up for various projects.

This takes me back to my childhood… My dad would take me to the fair and get me a deep fried router on a stick and a roll of cat5.

If you say so

Much like Windows.

It’s not though.

This isn’t even hard. KDE without a second thought.

I regularly try other desktops, and I regularly come back to the only desktop with any sort of reasonable thought put into it.

Because distros have a sick sense of humour.

Canonical still licenses most of their stuff under GPL3, including new stuff. The license (other than it being open) was probably not even a consideration in deciding to experiment with uutils.

I’ve got GIMP 3.0 here on my Kubuntu system 🤷‍♂️

What does this do over what the collabora tools in Nextcloud do?

It using glibc still distinguishes it as more of a GNU system than, say, Alpine.

Yeah this particular guy also loves doing insane things to his machine. He’s absolutely mental in a wonderful way.

My personal take on anything Jon does based on my experience with his delightful antics is that the only thing we can say for sure is if it doesn’t work for him it’s just not going to happen. His blog is pretty great to follow.

In the however many years of crash detection with Pixels I’ve had a single false positive, and that was when I was biking over some very rough gravel and suddenly hit brakes. It was also very obvious and was easy to stop before it called the emergency services.

Your OS can load the microcode. Most Linux distros will load the latest microcode during boot. Some will even update the microcode when it gets the new microcode from the distro repositories. This facility exists specifically because motherboard vendors are terrible about providing updates.

Not really the same thing though, since Trump’s thingy wasn’t one of the things that popularised that type of site.

It would be hilarious to see Digg restart as a Lemmy instance.

Not to mention that I can’t find any indication that Mint has a fixed version of ffmpeg at all.

It helps significantly that the EU already has a lot of the necessary expertise at every level.

That’s not quite accurate. The community can still upload fixed packages to universe, just as the community runs universe in the first place.

Does mint ship with a fixed version of ffmpeg?
