Various mildly understandable to braindead reasons

  • "it doesn't work"
  • "breaks my workflow"
  • "Xorg is better"
  • "Nvidia"
  • "no reason to use it"
  • "being pushed by IBM"
  • "no SSH forwarding"
  • "has taken too long to get to current state"
  • "when I last tried it 5 years ago it didn't work"

Anytime I see a Phoronix article (very loosely) about systemd or Wayland I fill my insults bingo card.

It takes effort and knowledge to make good contributions, this app is just a tool to do that.

I can only say I myself try to make valuable contributions, some other people might care less.

They promised one years ago, but never delivered. My main reason for supporting Steam even over GOG.

Boox doesn't share kernel sources for their devices, so it's basically impossible to get Android updates when they stop supporting it.

As the news says, it's a breaking change for users of local repo with specific setups.

Please make sure to implement democracy first, we have enough issues with dictatorships and oligopolies already.

I'm not a kernel dev, but I've read often enough that there are some places where "everything is a file" somewhat breaks down on Unix. (I think /proc and some /dev)

For an "absolutely everything is a file" system have a look at plan9, it was the intended successor to Unix, but then that got popular while plan9 stayed a research project.

Are you sure you want pipewire and pulseaudio installed and trying to run?

Maybe replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse, unless I'm missing something from your post.

Really interesting article about airlines, independent safety inspectors ans Russia

 

This might be a stupid question, but hear me out.
I regularly document steps to install various software for myself on my wiki
More recently, I managed to use different custom text in the source markdown to prepend # and $ automatically, so commands can be copied more easily while still clarifying if it should be run as a normal user or as root.

Run command as user

$ some cool command

Run command as root/superuser with sudo

# some dangerous command

I usually remove and sudo and use the # prefix. However, in some cases, the sudo actually does something different that needs to be highlighted. For example, I might use it to execute a command as the user www-data

sudo -u www-data cp /var/www/html/html1 /var/www/html/html2

I often use $ as a prefix, but # would also make sense.
How would you prefix that line?

 

Simply a fun song!

 

Anyone else having issues?
