I believe it was this one link
There is a bigger one, with more networking terms, but I can’t find it right now :|
I have no idea what kind of software this even is, so possibly could be better to use Facebook for all I care.
You can build community everywhere, and I have no idea why are people acting like Discord is the best place for it.
What? What specifically are you responding to?
None of this made any sense in this context. Are you replying to the correct post?
First of all, public forums are a thing, they work flawlessly and provide information to people without needing to sign in, which is my top issue with Discord. And why I actually want FOSS.
Among other things, some I already mentioned, Discord isn’t even all that big, you can say Facebook has 3 bil users, let’s all go there.
But the meme is about people who can’t escape, avoiding Discord is not only possible, but specifically for support advisable, and I would argue that it’s not even that hard.
I personally have used Discord about three times before I just selfhosted Jitsi. Never understood why people want to use it so much. For chat I use Matrix since 2018.
Then don’t brag about being 100% FOSS supporter…
Also 150M people may use it, 8 billion people can’t index it or do an advanced search, so fuck them.
The entire internet is built on open-source technologies, as you probably know. That doesn’t make the internet as a whole an open-source thing. Transport technologies are open, a lot of hardware and software around it is not, and that’s still talking about the infrastructure, not what is actually running on top of all that.
It’s like saying Windows is open-source because they use curl. And Microsoft is as open to open-source code as long as they can train their LLM on it and sell it to you. Sure they provide money and developers to some projects, but Windows, Office, Azure will most likely never be actually open to code investigations, forget free.
while yes, there are many BETTER alternatives already disponible
OS X refers to those parts of the distribution which aren’t open-source
From your own quote
I did have to compile Wifi dongle driver, since I moved and didn’t have cable in my work room. That was annoying as hell.
At first I thought I missed a driver in kernel compilation, but then my SO had the same issue in Mint. Luckily I was prepared.
But yeah, I have more sanity with Gentoo than I ever did with Windows. The other commenter probably hasn’t used Linux or something.
There is a distcc/d for having compile hosts with cache, which directly links to just a binary package host - essentially set up flags once, compile everything to your liking, and download within your network.
When you have multiple Gentoo machines, you compile soft once and distribute it. You would be mad to compile everything every time.
I mean, it can be the ONLY game you ever play ;)
Dwarf Fortress.
But you need to read the wiki :)
Calamity.
It’s like a second game.
I can’t believe people don’t add it to the recommendation every time.
Finish Terraria, get Calamity, go nuts.
Fucking trains, man
Which is something I always try to explain to juniors: writing code is cool, but for your sake learn how to READ code.
Not just understanding what it does, but what was it all meant to do. Even reading your own code is a skill that needs some focus.
Side note: I hate it to my core when people copy code mindlessly. Sometimes it’s not even a bug, or a performance issue, but something utterly stupid and much harder to read. But because they didn’t understand it, and didn’t even try, they just copy-pasted it and went on. Ugh.
laughs in Gentoo
Best I can do is tie your pension to it.
