Pretty interesting after Robin Wright’s role in The Congress.

I am drunk. I wish you hadn’t suggested that.

So anyway, what are the pros and cons?

Why did that happen?

New linux user goes online to find out how to list installed packages in the terminal. Starts removing the ones they don’t recognise.

Shit, I’ve done that!

bypassing the package manager (especially installing with curl | sudo sh

I’ll admit that I’ve done this with a few things that I wanted to install but weren’t in my repo…

It’s pretty amazing isn’t it?! There’s no way that I would have had the time and patience set up a server without it.

Check out Ardour for music production. You should be able to get older versions for free on most distributions or get the current version for a donation via their website.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Is that controlled by the operating system or something else? I’m curious about whether my Debian laptop does the same.

Recently at work I set up Windows to open spreadsheets and word documents in Libreoffice Calc and Writer instead of Excel and Word. Nobody seems to have noticed yet.

Either that or they don’t know how to change back again.

I tried a few out and found that Flowblade worked best for me. If you’re only trimming and combining video though, you MUST check out Lossless Cut. It’s ridiculously fast.

Do you know if hugo blogs can federate?

Bitcoin is NOT based on thin air.

It’s based on wasting loads of electricity.

Is Coreboot not fully open source?

Yeah, I’m still getting updates on my 2017 Dell Latitude!

Property, when referring to a house/home.

If either of my parents could use a computer it would run linux.

But then I have to do all of their online tasks anyway, so technically they are using linux.

Peachy. Sounds like there’s nothing to worry about then (from a user POV).

I find the UI completely fine. But I think a lot of people expect it to be a perfect and direct clone of photoshop that you don’t have to pay for, rather than its own piece of software and are consequently upset when they have to learn how to use it. People forget that they had to learn how to use photoshop as well.

Like you, I’ve asked people to give a specific example of something that is clearly bad about GIMP and either don’t get a proper answer, or they name something from an ancient version.

I’ve installed it from F-droid but still. Fuck google. They really do need breaking up.

I heavily rely on Syncthing. Does anyone know what the outlook is for Syncthing-fork, or what the likelihood is of someone taking on maintenance of this version?
