I help people and build things that help people.

Tangential:
I‘m running my own IT company since recently and am transitioning to exclusively using FOSS. I still have some things I need to work around like my iOS phone. It already has a linux successor but its not finished yet. Pretty promising though. My plan is to put a fixed percentage of profits to open source projects.
Thats a pretty impressive list
Oh wow! Thats gnarly. On that note, have you looked at rustdesk? Tried it this week and it runs great. Its also open source.
The „maya“ convo strongly reminded me of green hell.
Otherwise it looks cool. The synced wolves need some work I guess. I wishlisted it. Good luck!
Btw. What engine?
The reasons are plenty, they are laid out here:
I‘m not a fan of reinventing the wheel so feel free to ask questions if you like.
The „you have to like people“ part took me nearly 20 years to figure out. I hate people in general with possible remedy for people who are nice. I‘m exceptional at managing people, I just dont vibe with them. This leads to absurd situations where everyone is happy, professionally but folks just hate my guts.
So, I now work alone and am happy with it. :)
It doesnt sound dumb. Maybe its just not for you.
I play minetest online and some folks I chat with, some I dont. Its a private server so peeps dont bother others.
Big chat servers like on discord bore me because its mostly just trashtalk. Either lemmy or matrix, both are fine.
Hit me up if you wanna discuss it. Have a good one.
I really enjoyed reading your comment. You and share a ton of similarities in views and other things. Feel free to hit me up on matrix (link in profile). Have a good one.
quick fyi: rare cars seem like a pretty easy way to dox someone. Be careful of any data you share online.
i believe you. But its not only about installlation.
Although NC is great for the right usecase. If file storage is the usecase, NC is massive overkill.
Awesome Selfhosted has software for every usecase: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
Exactly! It’s like meta is actively trying to show how right us naysayers were.
Fedipact for the win! :)
Obviously not. I said if a feature is so advanced that libreoffice doesnt have it yet, they can either help building it (by code or by reporting the missing feature or helping advance the discussion) or they can use additional software if such exists or they can pay someone to do it.
What most people forget: you can spend small amounts to actually improve foss software if you need it to „just work“. There are hundreds if not thousands of hobby devs that will help you for a tip! :) if he spent thousands of dollars on plugins, I bet he could sponsor a small dev so that he and others can become independent of windows. Which by the way might deprecate his software anyway at some time.
The important part here is that if someone is willing they can add these features to foss software. Either by learning/doing the work or by helping fund someone to do it for them.
Libre office (no idea about open office, sadly) works in the same way excel does. A lot of the „advanced“ features of excel can also be achieved in other ways or by other software. Of course I‘m willing to get schooled by someone who has advanced knowledge of both and says its insanely different. But from my perspective the differences are marginal.
If anything on lemmy has ever been „nottheonion“ material, it is this.
Wonderfully put! Thanks.
I‘d say I‘m honest and loyal, not particularly nice. To me nice means diplomatic, charismatic and with low temper.
In this particular case I meant that linux is the same in all regards: open source. You can look everything up if you have the time. This makes it possible to change everything and anything you need. Even through different DEs you still have the same structure.
Now if you go try that with windows, you‘re properly hosed. Different package manager? No! Different desktop environment? No!
Simple might not have been the best choice of words though. Modularity might be better.
Its a oneplus 6 with postmarketOS.
