@BrodieOnLinux I'm working on an immutable Gentoo distro known as Xenia Linux if you are interested!

@BrodieOnLinux I strongly disagree with the fact that Fedi should become mainstream.

Remember that twitter users came to it, and the overall quality of it plumetted until most of them returned to twitter.

Fedi should remain a niche, and should remain entirely community driven without any profit motivation. Any company-backed platform trying to get into it should be blocked on sight on principle alone.

@BrodieOnLinux
Not an instance admin but moved to an instance that blocks threads.net. You don't mention my personal reason. I am not willing to contribute with my content to metas commercial app.
Funny that threads makes federation opt-in but mastodon doesn't. At least pixelfeed offers opt-in now.

@BrodieOnLinux I agree with your take in this video, brodie :neofox_amogus:​

@BrodieOnLinux Good for those whose cards it supports 😁

@BrodieOnLinux too little, too late. nvidia will never get my money again.

@BrodieOnLinux
I'm definitely someone who will benefit from this, as someone using an nvidia gpu.

In the future I can imagine people alternating which drivers they using depending on the game. Projects like supergfxctl could be helpful in such a use case. Already today most game launchers have a lot of tweaks you can do on a per game basis.

@BrodieOnLinux Its sad, I was really hopeful about it being an actually good Chromium browser to use as a backup when a site doesn't like Firefox. Chrome and Edge are obviously bad choices, Chromium has no DRM or security patches, Ungoogled Chromium is somehow worse security wise (not to mention the risks with their community built binaries), Brave is covered in controversy, Vivaldi isn't actually open source, etc etc etc.

Not a single good option, which is why I hoped Thorium would grow

@BrodieOnLinux something always felt sketchy about thorium and its developer

@BrodieOnLinux People really out here going through a 30 paragraph essay about how to use steamcmd to not go to windows 10 but then say that they wont move to Linux because "i dont want to use the terminal".

@BrodieOnLinux After couple minutes of browsing the subreddits for windows 7 I still wonder why people want to use out of date and unsupported software as a daily driver.

@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online forget Windows 7, the local bakery here uses MS-DOS as a POS system ​:mario_flop:​
(although as a bonus the old lady who runs the cashier looks like a seasoned hackerman now she types at like 200 wpm now)

@BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online and both are right.

@BrodieOnLinux I've literally been in meetings where a project manager or client described *required* features.

@BrodieOnLinux this new stories encapsulates a few bad things in open source

1. phone software sucks - not many good options for apps/OS
2. open source projects need good business models
3. donate to software you love until #2 is fixed

@BrodieOnLinux I do not know why the maintainer saw the need to sell. Maybe the money was direly needed and those were the terms of the contract that was offered?

Yes, this could have been handled better in an ideal world, but not knowing the situation the person is in: I do not feel comfortable to judge.

maybe we would see less of this if we had a financially viable support model for maintainers? Not that I have any idea how that would look like.

@BrodieOnLinux
Wait, what apps?

@BrodieOnLinux I figure out who I trust less, Sam or the board who fired him

@BrodieOnLinux
Steve Jobs acted friendly, Sam Altman is just creepy, maybe more lizard like than Zuckberg who is looking more and more human every year (they're obviously improving the hologram)

@BrodieOnLinux
If I could afford, I'd definitely be interested in buying one. My only gripe is that the hardware specs are kind of low, meaning it could go out of date faster than a traditional console.

Still though it makes me pretty excited that such a thing exists.

As for the price, I'm fairly certain that it is either a loss leader, or doesn't make much (if any) profit.

@BrodieOnLinux Its amazing. If I had to guess they probably found out they were vastly miscalculating how much money they would get from people buying games in their old models prices, which is probably why they were so comfortable putting the deck on sale every major sale.

@BrodieOnLinux except that there is no 399 USD model

@BrodieOnLinux What WM are you using, from your videos, I saw few elements that looked like things from Awesome WM. And don't take it the wrong way, I am just asking and I am not against Wayland in any way.

@BrodieOnLinux yeah I have thought about dwm's Wayland alternative, but haven't done anything else yet.

@BrodieOnLinux Brodie woke up and chose violence :mushroomCloud:

@BrodieOnLinux no way !!

@BrodieOnLinux I will never update my kernel after that 👺

@BrodieOnLinux CTT must surely release a video about this kernel since he's always prepared to talk about Ubuntu or Red Hat (or whatever villain of the week) in the same manner.

@BrodieOnLinux something something Kernel of the BSD?

@BrodieOnLinux

@BrodieOnLinux good for traffic at least?

@BrodieOnLinux

Know how 🥁

@BrodieOnLinux Sometimes that’s a totally normal reaction

@BrodieOnLinux This, and also E-mail protocols are clear indication that the world of computing was far less hostile in 1970s and 1980s was BY FAR less hostile and so - not much thought was spent on security.

@BrodieOnLinux
In this case I think Fedora reserves the right to package bottle. I mean it's FOSS. That said, I think that Fedora should redirect all support links to itself rather than bottles. I'm pretty sure some other distributions already do this and I'm surprised Fedora doesn't.

I'm all in favour for bottles to force this. They should not have to deal with supported requests for things that they did not package themselves.

@BrodieOnLinux what happening?

Also it's the proof that aliens aren't exclusive to the US
