They killed Cortana?
tar + netcat are really nice. Not very secure but gets a folder from A to B using standard tools.
Yes. It’s a window manager, not tmux.
I’m using Linux ten years now and I never learned shell scripting. Or do you mean running commands in the shell?
Great. So what?
No, there is a random crash every six hours now to increase familiarity.
Crimson Screen of Grief
Please stop purposefully misunderstanding people when the thing their trying to say is clear. Most annoying character trait one could have.
I honestly don’t know what you mean by that. I use Arch btw.
I can’t read Chinese, only Japanese, but I think it’s asking for a name and the number of a personal ID which should have 18 digits.
Sway works well for me, what’s wrong with it?
Federated search is difficult. For now this is a temporary solution.
Have you seen Sepia Search? https://search.joinpeertube.org/
Where am I gatekeeping Linux?? Also I don’t care what other people use that’s entirely their problem.
You sound like those people that “can’t use Mastodon” because they have to choose a server first and that’s too complicated.
Something felt wrong using Windows. It felt right when I switched to Linux.
Personally Linux has everything I want. Kind of per definition. If it’s not available for Linux I don’t care about it. I would use Windows if I had to use it for work.
The whole point of XMPP or Matrix is to provide interoperability between IM services. For interoperability to exist, we must agree on standards. Matrix is not a standard, but essentially a product controlled entirely by NewVector, a venture capital funded start-up.
They are not profitable and increasingly desperate to make money. Recently they forked Element and Synapse and make contributors sign a CLA which enables them to change their software to a non-free license in the future for monetization: https://drewdevault.com/2018/10/05/Dont-sign-a-CLA.html
You might say “But they made a non-profit foundation for Matrix” which is kind of true, but not really. The “core spec team” is all people working for NewVector except a single guy. Go checkout their linked GitHub profiles.
The whole Matrix thing should build on the existing XMPP internet standard. Instead we got yet another incompatible IM protocol, effectively controlled by a single corporation and more fragmentation. Bridges don’t help as they break almost all features, most regrettably end-to-end encryption. We really need proper internet standards for interoperability.
XMPP is also more lightweight and has proper native clients for all platforms instead of Electron apps. On the server side the difference is even more severe.
Yes
Yes
Should say XMPP, the IETF internet standard for IM. Matrix is a venture capital sham not compatible with existing standards.
No, there is a huge content gap.
Yes. I wanted to write max.
