Wow, it’s not a joke
I like to edit configs, which can break apt, and build projects from source, which requires bleeding-edge versions of many libraries that most distros don’t ship with, which also tends to break apt when I manually install them.
Arch’s pacman gracefully handled modified configs and the Arch repos ship very new packages, so I don’t find myself fighting the OS.
For me it’s been Arch for the last several years. It’s the only distro that can deal with the weird things I do while still working well for daily use.
Not so much nowadays, but we remember!


Projects are not their authors. Please give the politics a rest. I’ve had enough of politics lately.
0 in our case, but we are pretty strict. Same at the first place I worked too. Big tech companies.


TL; DR-- There are many good reasons for regular people to prefer GrapheneOS


Hey, the security is nice, but I really like the detailed control over notifications, GMS prompts, and network access. When I used PixelOS, my phone did things I didn’t want it to, and it was hard or impossible to make it stop. On GrapheneOS, the defaults are a pretty good experience. I even recommend it to non-techies since they can use it with the Google apps and its still a more respectful experience, even if they don’t need or want the level of control that I like.
Git itself is a distributed VCS…


People deserve to get paid on their work, and currently the best way to do that and survive in America is to work on completely closest source products that don’t respect their users. Open source is probably the most respectful but doesn’t work well as a business. We need something that works reliably for delivering real products that will achieve mass adoption. I think these source available licenses are that.


The context in the article is important. Similar to what FUTO preaches-- people don’t donate. That’s why corporate solutions usually win. Better to charge a bit of money so we can have nice things.


The plan was to rely on donations, which doesn’t usually work for hosted products.


I skimmed the article. Home Assistant Supervised seemed like it may be branding for the Docker edition, which apparently it is not.


Wait, does this mean they’re deprecating the docker image?


Blocks access to “protect” people? How does limiting people’s freedom help?

Though the image generators are actually good. The visual arts will never be the same after this


“Built to do my art and writing so I can do my laundry and dishes” – Embodied agents is where the real value is. The chatbots are just fancy tech demos that folks started selling because people were buying.


Unpopular opinion: It’s OK to use AI to fight fraud as long as your data is good, your precision threshold is very high, and appeals are easy. It seems like it is almost never used in this way when people try to save money, sadly.
They’re never getting those integrations back though, e.g. Spotify. Those are usually implemented in each company’s servers rather than something that can be brokered locally through an API. That needs to change
