It’s FOSS has a tendency to write in that kind of cadence. In general the articles they put out don’t seem to be ones that are tedious or boring to write, so I don’t see why they’d AI-generate their articles. I also remember their old articles before the AI hype train being written in the same kind of cadence. It is grating but I think it’s an annoying human, not an annoying LLM.

It may well be intended as a serious attempt but personally I’m just going to view it as trolling/a gimmick, in which case I don’t care how shit the actual platform is. Seems to be more about making a point against Musk than getting a serious userbase.

I don’t know about Nazi specifically, but people often use Nazi to mean fascist in general. And he is definitely far-right. I would prefer that foss remain hostile to fascists.

It will still generate traffic to Twitter in order to fetch the tweet. It’s an alternative frontend for privacy purposes, so Twitter doesn’t get your browser fingerprint, IP address, etc. It’s all proxied through xcancel/nitter.

On at all times at the router level. Because it’d be annoying to selectively disable it. My VPN isn’t really an anonymity feature anyway; I have a dedicated browser profile for things like banking where I intend the fingerprint to be associated with my government identity.

Converting a GPL codebase to another language creates a derivative work which, by the terms of the GPL, must be GPL-licensed.

I have not tried running VMs on Alpine. KVM/Qemu does seem to be supported according to the wiki.

Julia Evans has a bunch of these really handy cheatsheets. I have several saved that I reference semi-regularly.

100k/12≈8k, including taxes, after taxes idk depends where you live. My rent is the majority of my income, and I make much less than that, so the absolute amount of money I have after paying for things like rent and utilities, to spend on food, is much less too, even if we assume the same % of income going to rent. Again I’m not saying things aren’t more expensive in the US, but it is still a lot of money. You aren’t going to be struggling financially. My friends in the US make much less than that. Maybe you’d be less well-off than peers who do the same job, but I hope you realise that for a lot of people elsewhere in the world, that’d be 3 salaries already.

Yeah I was gonna say. I didn’t understand what people were complaining about, that’s loads of money to me. I know stuff’s more expensive in the US but it’s not that much more expensive that 100k isn’t an insane amount of money to live off.

Wtf so you mean Alpine will not work on real hardware on desktop? I run Alpine on real hardware for a desktop. The only issue you’ll run into is video games not playing nicely with musl, but there’s compatibility layers you can use for that.

Void works fine with Wayland. It isn’t security-focused. Same goes for Artix.

OpenBSD is security-focused, but has limited Wayland support. Sway works on it, but there isn’t much Wayland software, and it’s missing some crucial things like xdg-desktop-portal.

Yes, I’m not an IT professional and don’t have education in anything related to computers. Has always been a hobby for me. I don’t want to do my hobbies for work because I fear it would take the fun out.

If they’re saying beginning of 2027 I’d wait, unless you need a phone sooner.

That’s fair. Which models did you have? I had a couple problems with the earlier Google Pixels, but I’ve found the later ones have really ironed out their hardware problems.

I think your main problem is going to be finding phones for cheap that also work well as Linux phones. I think the lowest-effort options like Pine phones are gonna cost you more. But I wish you luck.

Last I was aware, Linux phones work really well on Google Pixel 3as. They’re no longer supported by stock Android nor still manufactured so I assume the second hand ones will be cheap.

I use Zathura. Not really meant to be an epub reader (ie missing ways to change the font)—afaik it just converts it to a pdf then displays the epub using the pdf engine. But it works fine for my purposes and means I can use my preferred pdf reader for epubs too.

The topic of the community is “technology”. It’s not called “pro-technology”. Negative commentary on technology is included in “technology” as a topic.

Accelerating Microsoft Excel

Oh nice, I didn’t know about the toggle.

I’m happy with Gram; it’s more aligned with what I want from an editor and from a foss tool, and it is actively maintained. But I understand if others prefer to use Zed because of the larger user base/dev team.
