@IrisShaders Drama so dry we have to make it out of ad companies not making enough money now. Genuinely such a boring topic.

honestly everyone could have seen this coming
(tl;dr if you don't want to watch: Feather Client is alleged to be running ads in the background from multiple different domains, using resources from your PC, in order to commit ad fraud for money)

@paytondev @frgonz_ Normies hate to realise the normie distro was made for them
English
@frgonz_ i hate to say it but i’m now using Ubuntu and it’s perfect for me. i know it’s such a normie distro, which is why i tried pop os in the first place, but it works perfectly
English
originally i thought Linus Tech Tips was just a moron after he utterly failed to use Pop!_OS. but i'm currently trying it out myself and it IS garbage. just an awful OS to use. i apologize Linus

Minecraft made their announcement 1 day early! Twitchcon also raised their prices early to coincide with this announcement though, disappointingly

@pagefaultty linux can be if you know what you’re doing, librewolf is good, but there are better alternatives, the rest is just aids

@spinelessaisha NixOS (probably also achievable with nix the package manager) is the only distro where installing matlab was straightforward and worked with no issues at all. I respect it for that
English
English
what is up with the vocal minority of people who dont WANT people to use linux... surely you're not stupid enough to realise that adoption leads to support and makes for a better ecosystem?
AboBa@mrabobkin
@spinelessaisha Don't use it. Use microslop windows. We don't want normies here
English
@skylermzx if they were cheaper than allies i'd install windows for that

You don't buy a steam deck to play Game Pass titles
Windows Central@WindowsCentral
My biggest gripe about my Steam Deck is that I can't access Game Pass titles, and I know that I'm not alone. It didn't take long for Steam Deck owners to begin experimenting with running Windows 11 on Valve's hardware. [1/2]

@skyl3r77 brave is open source, if you want a clone of brave origin just write it yourself. Otherwise pay 60 dollars for the theme change and feature strip. They even made this version free for linux. I see nothing to complain about. If you pay for this it's so obviously just a donation.
English
@0xtiago_ @archyisanalt @skyl3r77 brave doesn't cost a dollar, it's brave origin that costs a bit if you aren't on linux
English
@archyisanalt @skyl3r77 why would you pay 60$ for a slop browser made by a homophobe ceo when stuff like helium and firefox exist for free and are way better
English
@skyl3r77 do you think software development at large scale is free? The browser is even free for the people that actually care about their privacy and use linux. It's just not free for people that genuinely aren't even serious about their privacy and you got to fuel development somehow.
English
@oops4041555 poor wording g. It certainly is technically possible it's just not widespread because of them.
English
@oops4041555 just don't offer support to them..? You would probably get the same amount of "can you make it work on Linux" as "i have this bug on linux" anyways so it wouldn't help much besides lock off like 4% of desktop users from your app ig.
English
@TheMrBlueGuy @andres_vidoza Sure, but there's quite a list of distros I personally choose before ubuntu. I have some dotfiles for it as some workplaces only has ubuntu as their linux option but generally I'd just pick anything archbased or nix if given the opportunity.
English
@realzerahu @andres_vidoza Go with the interim releases, much more recent packages.
English
is there deadass a single browser that wont steal your data or you wont get made fun of for using. chrome doesnt count

"yea i use brave browser"

@SpaceWelder314 @vivoplt How do you hate docker? Got to be one of the most useful pieces of software ever.
English
@vivoplt Whew. That confirms it then. I'm not a Vibecoder.
But I still hate Docker.
Whats Rust again?
English
@realzerahu @valigo Yeah I guess if you want to take a twenty-year-old definition as gospel or pretend WINE translates Win32 system calls individually, arbitrarily, for no specific purpose (such as, y'know, emulating a Win32 environment, e.g. simulating another system) then sure, you win either way.

Programmers are bad at naming things:
WASM - not for web, not assembly
EGL - not embedded, not a graphics library
DLSS - not supersampling
Microsoft - extremely bloated
Emacs - takes more than 8 megs (swill swapping tho)
vim - doesn't improve vi
neovim - is actually old
