OpenSuse TW. Network seems to be permission based. If I’m connected to the Internet on one user and someone logs in, they cannot connect without my pass. Quite ridiculous.

Oh, and I used to hibernate. Then it stopped working. Now I try to sleep and that sporadically fails requiring restart.

Why don’t you support a Linux distro that runs on prehistoric hardware?

It’s very easy to spend other peoples time than offer your own for something you clearly don’t care enough about.

If you missed the comment. Previous kernel version is supported until 2035. That’s 9 more years. You need any longer than that?

I hear India and some other Asian countries are very high.

Trash is subjective. Luanti can run on potatoes without an SSD. Worth a try: https://www.luanti.org/en/

My issue is that corporate folk behind this attempted to do this. IMHO, the stewardship of the project is all wrong, and the motives questionable. It did feel like you were defending their actions. Corporate influence is not a defining aspect of open source for me. Its an unfortunate problem that ultimately leads to the true dilemma. Open source is about sharing and giving your time freely, corporate goals is how can we profit from our position in this project.

Through pushing through user antagonistic changes completely at odds with users wants and hoping people are pliable enough to forget all about trying to be screwed so you can bide time until the next at attempt to screw users?

Well, that’s the vibe I’m getting from you. I naively assumed open source was based on trust, shared effort and contributions to benefit users so they can install software on their machine that they know is reliable/trustworthy and privacy focussed because anyone can scrutinise it. Silly me.

So they raised a PR with the intention to do this?

Are you saying the only reason they backtracked is because users weren’t happy?

I think originally it was the other way and many distros use a compiler flag to stop it being opt out.

They tried to add in opt out telemetry in. A few forks were created as a result.

Meh. Prefer Tenacity without the enshittification.

Meh. Prefer Tenacity without the enshittification…

Out of curiousity. How do you feel OSRS dictates and how do they do different?

Yeah. That got me too. A full stop doesn’t hurt.

I don’t. I just export to PDF if I need them to see formatting the same.

Sometimes you gotta make the thing you want. Build it, publish it publicly and they’ll come.

Feels very AI generated.

That’s great to hear. Congratulations on the pay rise. You’ve clearly got valuable, transferable soils.

It is hard to keep detached, as we never truly own it until it’s ours. Good to hear you got free hardware. It’s my favourite price.

Edit: oops. This is old. Hope you’re OK and things improved.

You’re grieving for what you built. It’s good to take pride and push for better. However, you don’t own it. They pay for your time and your expertise. Love your skills and the learning. If the environment stops being right for you, plot your escape at a time that suits. Companies make shit decisions, they have and always will. They sometimes lead you to believe you have influence while it benefits then with your commitment/engagement. When that no longer suits, its the end.

What you feel is valid, it’s good you have standards and care. It’s now time to understand work is generally an exploitative relationship. Protect yourself and understand you’re being used. Find a situation where being used feels good for now and good for your bank balance.

I’m quite impressed you’ve been running Windows 10 on a HDD. It was dog slow for me, especially starting up and how I started using Linux.

So he’s capable enough to add new islands and content, but not change a trigger on how to save. One button. Same logic…

A buggy mod by someone who didn’t write it doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Many mods are of poor standard and don’t have access to the same code or the facilitate a way to change something, so they often have to work around whatever APIs are exposed.

It is a dark pattern. You can like a game and someone and still be able to be critical of a game design decision they make. Not everyone is good or bad. A hero or villain. No one is perfect.
