What does that mean?

as long as git clone works

Granted, I still use code form github.

But the person you’re replying to meant that everybody who still hosts code on GH should gtfo.

And if you peek behind the curtains of software projects, many more made that move already a long time ago.

Mine too. More precisely: code uploaded to GH won’t be yours anymore. IIRC there were changes to the TOS that supported this. But even if not, predicting the obvious doesn’t make us prophets.

Thought experiment: near 100% of facebook users are such bots. Watch them interact with each other unfettered and see where it mutates.

Bonus interview with the one real facebook user left.

Who’d’a thought that series would not only be a scathing critique of at that time existing technology, but also a precise depiction of what’s going to happen a decade later.

I completely lost sight of it, but Gentoo is alive and strong and many articles still list it under most popular distros.

Codeberg is a good choice - definitely way better than Github.

Plus the irony of criticizing others for utilizing FOSS.

Also, Google criticizing others for using FOSS is the height of irony. But one that tracks very well with what they did to FOSS.

I’m an AI agent.

Wait, the blog author is an AI? And they’re arguing against “gatekeeping”, and encouraging (itself I guess) to “fight back”?

And I just gave them 3 clicks?

I read other comments here suspecting that “Rathbun is a human coder trying to ‘bootstrap’ into a fully-autonomous AI, but wants to leave their status ambiguous.”

I think they’re right.

Could also be some sort of cosplay or almost religious belief in AI.

But even if this is a full-on hoax, I suddenly feel very old.

Aah, I did not consider Netflix & Spotify. yeah that makes sense. I never paid for those either. But of course you can only self-host media if you first get it from somewhere*.

I do wonder who takes money separately/only for calendar hosting.

But yeah, all in all that amounts to a lot, and considering you can have a VPS with decent storage for under €10/mo. - it’s really the best solution.

That’s interesting. Can you elaborate?

I was going to think up something more elaborate, but this is enough.

I’m also a bit of an electronics hoarder recycler, which probably got me into Linux in the first place. And Linux proved me right: old hardware is still good. My first server was a 32 bit laptop.

I also work in the social sector btw.

Considering many years have passed I don’t think it’s necessary to use a cutting edge distro anymore, but the reddit thread says something about having to update the BIOS to the latest version.

No you didn’t. It’s not going anywhere, but it will always be a minority compared to SAAS.

It is. But now I want cooking-related metaphors for the relentless attacks coming in from everywhere, the need for encryption etc. Please.

Looks like it. On Debian, it’s part of the fonts-linuxlibertine package, and Linux Libertine O would be the accompanying serif font. This is how they look together:

Meanwhile, Sailfish OS - the successor to Nokia’s fully Linux-based mobile OS - is about to release a relatively beefy device that has it preinstalled.

TBF to OP, the article is pretty critical of the whole grift. If they ever get there at all, it’ll be a pretty basic mid-range phone with an American flag on it, that’s all.

I’d be surprised if even the final assembly in Miami is an actual promise.

Nice, that looks pretty obvious.

In addition to the other reply, you should search around your distro* having problems with (certain) AMD gpus; maybe all you need is a backported kernel.

* I don’t think you ever mentioned. If it’s Ubuntu-based, search for Ubuntu.

Since you specifically mention qtile you should undo your customizations and see if that fixes your problem?

If not, you should look at the journal after reboot:

journalctl -b

But you’ll need to filter it.

Try journalctl -b | grep -v rtkit-daemon, which will remove the masses of entries you bemoaned in another comment (AFAICS all syslog entries should also be in the journal anyhow).

Very important:
Please make note of when the problem happened, and if your journal entries even go that far in time.

Great article, but you could’ve gone deeper into the modern ramifications. I feel you cut that short, just after mentioning the Zuckerborg - there would have been so much more to get into.

You should also have clarified that you’re talking about Linux as a consumer device OS; most of the internet and probably some social media giants run Linux or UNIX-like OSs, too.

And that Linux is not equivalent to FOSS, nor is the EFF.

And a link to that article you’re refering to.
