When I started my own design for Tux I came up with “it’s all about U” written on the repo where I’ve developed it (upstream isn’t updated)

In hindsight it involuntarily highlights the difference between the open source and the free software movement pretty well, I’m definitely for the latter, but it is accurate to the product and its creator

Wow, I didn’t know the Git host is providing documentaries too now, sweet 😋

Going through LFS207 right now, meant to prepare for the LFCS. Gotta say, the material is unsatisfying, a few issues here and there, quite a bit of information that isn’t up to date and uninspired instructors (at least it seems, they make so few appearances they might as well have not recorded themselves at all) make for a really lame course, which would all be acceptable if it had been free or really low cost and by an external organisation, but no, it costs a heck ton for what it offers and it still manages to be less than insightful when it’s coming from the same foundation sponsoring Linux development, guess sponsoring is an entirely different matter from knowing or teaching (or proofreading paid material).
What it is undeniably good for, though, is letting you know that certain topics exist at all, so you can go deeper by yourself, stuff which you might not care about or come across otherwise.
Safe to say your Linux desktop experience will only translate as much as you put effort into playing around with your system, which, in a perfect world would be the least you’ll ever need, it’s definitely undesirable to make the desktop a CLI heavy experience, and in fact, I’d say that today’s Linux desktop manages to save you from the details pretty well, so you really have to go out of your way to learn sysadmin concepts and tool usage, stuff that, if you don’t need a certification, you can do just as well on your own with free articles and courses, whichever you can find

I love this, we should maintain a list of these, it’s like that “Pokémon or web technology?” thing

It successfully combines everything I’ve ever wanted 🤧

I’d say both things go hand in hand.
Individual change is definitely easier to achieve, but even getting a certain idea out to let the individuals protect themselves on their own is difficult, privacy isn’t really easy to sell because, beside a basic level, most people don’t care about it or assume it’s unattainable.
So yes both are difficult in their own way, but the effect that policies have when they’re finally applied is more powerful and protects everyone by default, even without them knowing, e.g the GDPR

They’re on your side, why the friendly fire?

Actually thanks for the akshually, because I had no idea about its existence

You have to lose it all to know what matters (speaking from experience 😭)

…And automatically triggers the printer, if run out of paper or ink, it should also place an order on Amazon

Gonna pull your leg here and say Android or, as I’ve recently taken to calling i,t busybox + Linux + Google

Sorry, I wasn’t saying it wasn’t, I just found it funny, I do trust you know what you’re talking about, had no reason to doubt you

Hopefully it gets easier so I can use n(o)curses

New motto: open source, open purse

The a series is pretty good bang for your buck, if you can’t afford that and neither used ones, then maybe you could settle for one of the cheaper Asian ones supported by Divest OS

Amazing, I read this in a deep narrator voice and now I want a tale of a game engine developer living in a stereotypical dyatopian cyberpunk society

Gotta band it Windows tho, it just feels right, I want to enjoy my fake typewriter

3rd fastest

And 1st tastiest

Lol, yet sometimes I wonder if my hello world contains vulnerabilities

That’s really cool! And yeah the bootloader locking checks out with into from other guides.
That unbricking talk flies over my head on the other hand, it sounds like one of those fake tech speaks to my uncultured self lol
