@1kMegatea @thatstraw ArchLinux is like: 5 minutes to install it and *it just works* indeed 🤷 you might thinker a bit around if it's not Omarchy variant or others with most things pre-configured, but if your hardware is a good one, it's hard to find issues these days in Arch youtube.com/watch?v=kwsU8F…

@thatstraw The only time I've ever heard something like "Linux just works" was in reference to a highly curated and stable distro like Linux Mint. Nobody with any knowledge would say that of, for example, Arch. Instead, Linux's claim is being free in both the libertas and the gratis senses.

it's just an optional field placed in there to comply to specific laws in specific places ... what have missed around this drama? 🤔 github.com/systemd/system…

* does NOT

one might think that this is all you need to reverse a string without breaking emoji: function reverse(str) { let c, s = ''; for (c of str) s = c + s; return s; } then you read @tabatkins and 🤯 ... nope, one does simply reverse a unicode string 😱 es.discourse.group/t/string-proto…

@ThePrimeagen I now wonder if an animated GIF renamed as png will show up animated as thumbnail 😅

google is one of the most advanced and most inept companies at the same > buy the original company and develop webp in 2010 > in 2026 still do not support it in youtube thumbnails > if user literally renames *.webp -> *.png it works > same thing in google docs

Before github, where do developers store their code?

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia to some extend, if you ever followed the debate, this feels very much like DRM content on Firefox/Linux in general: it's not that different as a topic, we have previous work to show "it could happen". I'd personally focus on that *could* instead of *should* because, sadly, laws.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia speculative: because it's like TPM 2.0 requirements shenanigans for Windows 11: it's either there at the root of the kernel or it's not I don't want a TPM 2.0 like constrain for outdated hardware, so what are the options for Linux? Like you said, early days, but it's inevitable

wow, systemd is adding an age variable for future digital ID laws. Linux users are not going to like this.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia progress has two ways forward, always: * oppose at all costs and likely be ignored in the future * understand what can be done to make it better for everyone involved I'd rather focus on the latter for everyone sake: raise the right concerns 'cause if it's by law, it's law 🤷

@WebReflection @CryptoCyberia I will oppose that crap as much as I can until I am no more. Especially on my personal machines.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia dude, I think you have no idea who you are talking to... I've published tons of OSS things and develop for Web to IoT devices daily, you don't have to convince me, maybe you can read again what I wrote: if it's inevitable, or Linux users will be charged like pushers, get it right

@WebReflection @CryptoCyberia that should be your last concern of what's somebody else is doing. Go contribute to microsoft with such ideas. Computer is just a tool. It's not a nuclear button to protect it with ID verification.

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia or to clarify: * on Linux it'd be for legal requirements * on Windows it'd be for that plus a way to uniquely identify your needs as buyer for stuff related to your age and ads that target you by all means * on mac, same as Windows but less pumped as "core feature" 🤷

@tobibeda @CryptoCyberia I'm on ArchLinux (btw) ... I was just saying: I agree with you, but even if it happens, it's not that other options won't already have it backed in and as a way to sneak in ads and corporate metrics around, you know what I mean? It has to go out in the best possible way though.

@kaaaash____ Linux

Be honest, which one is best for coding ? MacBook or Windows

@nalinrajput23 P.S. I've said "needle" ... I think they called it "red nipple" instead over time

@nalinrajput23 last, but not least, I'm that old, I've used 'em all 🧓

I’m curious, what is the real purpose of this red button on a keyboard?

@CryptoCyberia at the same time it's like "dad, can I use your credit card to pay this one thing?" kind of situation ... tons of parents will likely grant adult capabilities to their children "feeling better than others" in doing so (like Android phones with no parental limitations or similar)

@CryptoCyberia it's not that we have options ... right? Windows and macOS probably already do that + ads ID or metrics ID on Windows and everything else. some control over *some* miss-usage of tech is inevitable these days, it will also reduce AI capabilities and whatnot ... a two sided blade.

@juiceboy_of_abj on Arch? sudo pacman -S --needed chromium on "Debian"? sudo apt install chromium-browser on Mac? brew install chromium on Windows? I have no idea 🥳

So if you buy a new laptop and mistakenly uninstall the browser that comes with it, how would you download the browser back since you don’t have a browser to install the browser?🤔🤔
