All things are possible through Christ!
So in other words, I’m thinking of Linux
As opposed to news from the united states, which is certified good and true and democratic
On bad operating systems like Linux, yes. ;)
The Wendy’s 4-Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
Completing the ethnic cleansing of the region is a long-standing goal and it isn’t yet complete.
Anyone else get free Ubuntu CDs shipped to their house? I think I had 7.10 (Gusty Gibbon) shipped to my house back in 2007.
Otherwise, Mandrake Linux was my first “good” distro. I first tried one called Lycoris which claimed to be an beginner’s distro with it’s own DE, and it was impressive how well it handled setting up a dual boot installation and at the time it was a revelation that I could use a computer without Windows. I didn’t begin preferring linux until I tried Mandrake with KDE 3, though.
It’s not as if they are holding themselves up as supporting Free Software philosophies (as opposed to Open Source), so where’s the pretense?
If somehow it ever makes strategic sense for them to stop making use of the open source model, yeah, they’ll stop. That doesn’t mean they were pretending.
I don’t think they’re pretending. Open source software is a valuable resource for basically all major tech companies, and a lot of it is driven by major tech companies. Some kind of combination of open source and proprietary software will always be a thing for them. This isn’t some major contradiction, they use either model based on the specific needs of the project.
This is why some think “Open Source” is too permissive since they see it as free/cheap labor to be exploited by huge corporations.
I’m not sure that I see it that way, but I can see their point.
Almost 30 years and still basically useless.
The last time I tried that getting google play services working was a long, annoying process and did not work. I don’t expect google to make any of that easy for us.

Framework laptops are undeniably expensive. I say that as a happy owner of both the 13 and the 16. The value is not the appeal. To be honest, I don’t even expect it to “pay for itself due to upgradability and repairability” like many people say.
More availability of refurbished mainboards should help over time, I guess.
I just say “salud.” I’m far from a fluent Spanish speaker, but I like it better. It’s the same as “gesundheit” but easier to say.
I have never contributed to an open source project before, so if we exclude the third part this is the reverse of my habits. The stuff I do for work is bare minimum garbage, I freely admit. I really do not like my employer.
I’m a good enough software engineer that this isn’t true. I bet I get paid a lot more than you. 😎
(The above statement is not a truthful statement.)
I try to do an “end-run” around federation drama by using my own instance, especially since I prefer to be as openly federated as possible. This is not without drawbacks, but it’s really not bad.
My fear is that one day the biggest instances will switch from using block lists to instead only federate with an allow-list. That would basically make this use non-viable.
It’s not quite as good as reddit was for me when reddit was good.
My hope/expectation is that for lemmy (and the wider “threadiverse,” e.g. kbin) the best days are still to come.
Isn’t following the local law the end user’s responsibility? Like how in the US it’s not lawful for me to install and use certain patented codecs without buying a license. (We all do, anyway.) Would it be “illegal software” or would it just make it easier for the end user to violate the law?
I still believe in Santa Claus
You’ve lost me on this one. No idea what you mean. But either way, I think you should take my comment just a bit less seriously.
