I’m a “developer edition” user (beta channel) running multiple profiles from multiple system users, and the only change I noticed weeks ago was the file picker not opening at all 😬

Fixed by running firefox with dbus-launch. So that was +1 for dbus over systemd in the race to make less shit work expectedly, while killing unix/posix in the process.

Wow! What an observant smart thought.

Well, except for the fact that code conversion doesn’t give you the permission to change licenses or remove copyright. And the small matter of fact that both projects mentioned are Canonical projects, where whatever code that is not directly copyrighted by Canonical, is contributed by someone who signed an agreement with this stipulation:

(b) To the maximum extent permitted by the relevant law, You grant to Us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, irrevocable licence under the Copyright covering the Contribution, with the right to sublicense such rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to reproduce, modify, display, perform and distribute the Contribution as part of the Material; provided that this license is conditioned upon compliance with Section 2.3.

“Us” being Canonical of course. So they could actually “re-license” the projects right now, without changing a single line of code.

It’s always astonishing how condiment in their ignorance people are when it comes to these matters.

You geniuses are getting too predictable with your ignorance.

I literally wrote what’s quoted above yesterday replying to someone else.

A lot of people interested in tech end up watching at least one of his channels

I don’t watch YouTube at all outside of a couple of 70+ years old personalities who do some weekly commentary (not in English or tech related).

Zero search/feed/side-bar “consooming”.

Slop-sumption is not unavoidable. You just need to learn how to value your time, and develop a simple objectivity/knowledgeability filter.

I’m not even saying ditch the phone just minimize usage of it

This is the correct take.

I never used the Graphene meme and the shit American Baidu hardware it runs on (security and phone were always an oxymoron regardless). But I was on custom ROMs from around CyanogenMod 3 until Lineage 21. I also owned phones with the highest-end Snapdragon SoC’s.

Over the years, I went from everything unlocked in the open, to “hiding root” to disabling root (I realized I didn’t even need it anymore). And now I deliberately downgraded to a lower-end phone running stock ROM. And even with that, there is an APP from a utility company that refuses to run because the phone has an unlocked bootloader, which was needed to properly recover the phone. So my next phone will be completely stock. Never again.

Most people here tend to be on the younger side. So while their hearts are in the right place, and tend to agree with a lot of genuinely good stuff. They are also very susceptible to falling for memes and becoming a part of circle jerks (they are still r*dditors at heart after all). They also just lack maturity and experience to be able to value situations with less emotion and wishful thinking, and more nuance.

And I didn’t even mention the fact that 📲 is actually their primary online device 🥲.

I2P is a fully connected network where everyone is a relay, a UDP transport exists iirc, and there are many other significant technical differences.

And if you’re dreaming of significant masses moving to the shadows, you might as well dream of them using distributed solutions. Otherwise, the monsters will simply find and shutdown the hosts/servers of whatever the good kids are consuming.

There is a connection between August and freedom. Do you know what is it?

It would be a cool if you report back in a separate post if you discovered anything interesting. It’s not like we’re overwhelmed by too much activity here.

Also, while I think it should be obvious, but I forgot to clarify that if you’re inheriting from a profile with codegen-units = 1, then you need to set that explicitly to a higher value in the inheriting profile.

Make sure you’re using a fast linker. Although I think lld is the default now, so that should be less of a concern these days. But see if mold or wild would help.

More relevantly, you should be using cranelift for codegen in dev builds.

If you have codegen-units = 1 in your release profile, make sure you have a separate dev profile that doesn’t.

If you still experience decapitating slowness (doubtful), and it’s actually the rust compiler being slow (super doubtful), you can try the parallel frontend. Apparently there are almost™ no bugs left in its implementation (It’s one of the project priorities now).

Needless to say, but you should be checking your --timings to really know what’s going on.

If you’re posting from Desktop Linux, your comment utilized at least 10 liberally licensed libraries. And that’s before it got into the wire. GPL packages are a MINORITY, not a majority with exceptions.

There are a lot less GPL projects in your system than you might think. Your core system is already filled with liberally licensed libraries and programs. Case in point, since you talked about rust rewrites, original sudo is not GPL software.

Did you ask an LLM to write a comment full of cliches?

You are in a thread where a user is having a problem because of the push for flatpaks, and because of some distros like Fedora crippling their packages and providing objectively worse alternatives on purpose (because they don’t want to risk RH IBM getting sued). If the user was using some sane community distro like Arch, the user would have never come to realize that such unnecessary issues even exist.

As for flatpak hate specifically, see my ramblings here.

Users are better off using a “freeworld” ffmpeg package, or not using Fedora at all. The cisco decoder is shit.

your life will be better if you stop using both flatpaks and openh264.
