https://github.com/uutils/coreutils - I’m waiting for a distro to switch to this, and clang base, and then musl. But glibc compatibility still lacking usually - one day!

Lol, you know this is a meme community?
Arch is where the cool kids put in the work these days. Their philosophy of downstream packages untouched results in fewer problems and easier maintenance. Why would anyone be a package maintainer for Debian? It’s a thankless task, and hard
Stay away in general for things that matter, like prod servers, you’ll thank me later. Have fun with tinkering with them!
If you do insist on pushing them out to prod: as part of a container, using your own tightly compiled stuff, try not to link or use the package management
And if you ignore all this advice, congratulations you either become or already are a C and Linux packaging expert!
1·5 months agoOpinion pieces obviously not fabulous to gist it seems, would not recommend this tldr
you don’t have faith in existing monopoly laws? Colour me shocked!
When do we look to restrict a company’s areas of control too? Horizontal integration has to be a dystopian nightmare come true
Seems fine with anarchy to me
So Konsole rocks. Yakuake a great addition. But I’m a big KDE fanboy
Alacritty is also pretty fun, combined with openbox / LXDE
But for the $dayjob it’s Windows Terminal which is easily the best thing Microsoft has released in decades when combined with WSL
Until a robot can hang up my washing, my machine is staying off any networks
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/en & https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ification#English both combine to make a word that means to add to something making it shitter
Shittification would be to make a shit, you could argue that ‘en’ means that you make something else shitter I think
English is weird https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
enshitification continues
He ain’t wrong. Replacing X11 wasn’t a great idea and not invented here was all over Wayland, especially with the Mir proposals. SystemD also gets this accusation but people seem to like working in it/with it, and so doesn’t get the level of criticism now.
It will be really interesting to see if Wayland maintains momentum over the next few years, or if it’s own tech debt will cripple it. Ideally we want to see if we can bridge the Android divide in the GUI space imo, which Wayland may have more potential to do
Weekly. And I’ve got bluetooth drivers on daily too. Drop the 3.5mm and you drop my purchase!
10·7 months agoClassics FPSes included Unreal Tournament 2004 and Quake 3. Both scale from 1 on 1 to 16 players well, meaning days of fun. Xonotic the open source clone, which is also very good
Worms is a hoot, can hotseat or LAN, armageddon I think the high point of the series. Hedgewars a more than worthy OS reimagining
RTSes are soo many, Warcraft 3, C&C series, or Total Annihilation all modded, all great. My choice is Balanced Annihilation or OpenRA for 2023 and OS
4X have classics like civ, but Stellaris a worthy choice too. Open source here includes unciv
Racing games are often a hoot too. You can get far too serious here if you want, but I recommend SuperTuxKart for some mariokart like action
Scorched3d another option for artillery fun. But generally Open Source all offer LAN gaming!
Missed dune 2k integration
Not even playable /s
Ahh, woosh
