Digital sovereignity is a big deal!

Right. If your hit by 9 bombs it does really matter if your were also hit by three duds.

I mean they have been bombing refugee coridors, so they clearly support killing noncombatants.

I hope Linux gaming can keep growing at a fast pace to combat the inevitable clash.

Alpaca and family are major examples Ive seen mentioned.

Yeah, the big premise is smaller models, along with more devs, means opensource iterates faster and produces better results more efficiently.

I hate to see what this could do to the very fledgling linux gaming rennace. Hopefully we see it get real teath before corporate Microsoft puts even more pressure on it.

Nvidia has more issues on Linux for sure, but its not a guerented death sentence. I would try it out and see if you like it. I daily drive and game on fedora on laptop with nvidia proprietary drivers.

This is what I tell people when they get frustrated learning how computers work. Its not like math or natural science, it’s all just useful levels of bullshit people made up to make the electric rocks do things. Learn what helps you understand how the rocks work to make it think about the things you care about.

Yeah, I realized I started to sound snarky when I said “I work on computers” when people ask me what I do. Didn’t mean it to sound dumb, it was just honestly the level of understanding about computers a lot strangers had when they asked.

Saying I did networking or worked with servers didn’t mean much, but sometimes people would ask me to work on their WiFi…

I feel like getting into opensource software is easier than it ever was at least, the biggest Barrie’s I see are people thinking they can’t and advertising making people defensive about sticking to proprietary options.

I also blame the education system, the fact that my computer teacher thought that opening R, trying to reconnect to WiFi, and opening the cmd prompt were all attempts at “hacking” is sad. The fact our robotics class shut down when the exchange student left, because he was the only who knew how to program was sadder.

Part of the problem is the people making the standards don’t even know how ignorant they are themselves. Like I at least recognize I have a lot learning to go, and lean heavily on people more experienced than me in fields I’m not the expert.

Every one learns something for the first time. Expert to noob all start in the same state of knowing nothing.

Right now? Bad. Other Big Tech would swoop in and tech their place and try and take their proprietary market share, but a lot of the open source work would be left to die on the vine, including Firefox. It would be a loss of paid talent in the FOSS world and a massive consolidation of big tech.

Good thing for FOSS, maybe. Non-profits suddenly not operating effectively for a few years is arguably worse for a lot of people that depend on them.

Sweet! This is great for people that want to enjoy content people are posting here, but want to avoid places like youtube (where most video content is coming from, even with peertube on the Fediverse or Odyssey having built in payment methods.).

I will say I saw your bot, triple comment on a post.

Matrix integration really is the move to make imhol

The fireworks on the 4th of July are to represent the firearms and cannons citizens owned and used in rebellion towards a tyrannical government.

That concept is written into our constition or declaration of being a country, and passed down into our myths and celebrations.

Part of it is the wording is “(justification for the amendment) (actual limitation on the governments power)” so the reason the government shall not infringed on the right to bear arms is because that supports the creation of well regulated militias necessary to secure a free state.

Do I want an OS that can offload to remote servers? I mean kinda actually, that’d be neat. Do I want another thing in my life to be a subscription I have no control on, absolutely not.
