Finding activities and hobbies that align with your values and make you groe.

Yes, mindless hobbies are also fine, but for me, participating in local FOSS communities and the like makes it a very fulfilling activity, and a way to learn more things.

Then there’s me who installs VLC and calls it a day. I mean… It does the job perfectly fine.

reflector will choose mirrors depending on your specific orders.

You have not specified your orders here, so I’m guessing you haven’t launched it properly.

Check the Wiki and launch it with your specific needs. Is it speed? Is it updatedness? Global mirrors? Local?

Also there is no casino algorithm showing you what big data knows will make you stay for a while.

In TikTok or instagram reels, you don’t follow people you like. You just watch stuff happening.

To be honest, I’m waiting until we finally get federated git hosting, specially if done with ActivityPub. I think it fits too well the use case.

I believe forgejo is getting there, but it’s still not possible.

If you are a student, you should be able to organize with some of your classmates or friends.

Also, maybe consider LanguageTool instead of Grammarly, at least it’s not fully closed source.

The Hyperloop still hasn’t happened in an age where we can grab rockets from the sky.

It was just a great idea to stop development of high-speed rail so cars could still make sense for longer.

Hopefully USA seems to be realising already: https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/22/hyperloop-one-elon-musk-high-speed-rail/

I mean, being able to carry a little thing with multiple OSs AND STILL being able to use it as portable storage for other stuff is really useful.

Playing a bit of devil’s advocate here: any of you used these channels? Could it be that they were just spreading misinformation like every country does at war? Any example of existing zionist Telegram channels?

Wasn’t matrix 2.0 a thing already?

I thought conventionalcommits.org was very well known.

I made my company use it and now it’s so much easier to navigate git history. We also get automatic, humanly readable changelogs for free.

Gmail should be one of the first apps you uninstall with the universal android debloatter.

😅 thank you!! Following ISO 8601 is always appreciated.

That’s an actual great point, noted.

Another week, another incorrect weekday format.

It’s 2024-W39, you are welcome.

The title specifies that it’s the apps that are open source.

But Wayland is waaay better than X in basically everything? Performance and security are simply in another league entirely. And these 2 are the most important factors.

The rest of the “features” will be eventually there. In fact, mostly are there already. I’ve been using Wayland 2 years without issues. The important thing is that now the sofware is solid, the code is clean and the performance is amazing. Growing from there will be so much better than from X11.

Turns out that is your experience, and it cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the world.

In fact, my experience is actually opposite. Everytime I go back to Windows to do some task… Wi-Fi has trouble finding my access point, and when it finally connects (sometimes after having to reboot) the connection is simply not as strong. Oh, and some bullsh*t software got reinstalled and it even set itself up as launching-at-start-up, after I had to almost hack the OS to allow me to do that.

So, do I extrapolate to the rest of the world?

That’s the thing, for me, it’s too much money every month for a one-time setup and maybe 15 minutes maintenance every 3 months. But if you feel it’s still worth it, go for it.

I think the standard is ~/.local/bin, for the people that like standards.
