I don’t hate Windows but I hate being forced use it. I feel that I’m very effective when using Linux and just don’t like when I am being slowed down. I want to use my machines to get things done and don’t like it when operating systems and tools get in my way instead of enabling me to do what I need to do. Hating Windows is pointless because it’s a waste of energy: it is what it is, why expect more?

Thanks for pointing that out. But it was only a joke.

I recommend that you transition instead of switching. That way you have a way to roll back If the distro you are trying out proves not to be what you expected.

A water gun will also do it. You can even order one from Amazon…

Thanks for the valuable insight.

You will have to repeat that again and again, because people don’t know what LLMs are. They have been told that we have AIs and don’t understand that what they actually use are digital parrots (minus the intelligence of an actual parrot).

What are principles worth if you won’t stand for them?

I was confused for a minute, not understanding what (Apache) Maven has to do with social networks.

What’s scary about it?

This is really good news. I just hope that state institutions using OSS don’t take it for granted and also start investing (contributing, auditing) into the software they are using. With increasing adoption, OSS also becomes an attractive attack vector for all kinds of malicious parties. Recent events (xz utils) have shown how this can happen.

One important thing the centralized sites like Bandcamp enable, is discovery of new music and artists. I’m afraid that this is such a big deal that Faircamp won’t be able to take off until that problem is addressed and solved somehow.

Install some software on your server […]

I’m afraid that this is a big no-go for most artists, which just want to make music and don’t want to be server administrators.

I use syncthing for synchronizing photos and music between phone and my computers.

The feature I probably use most ist sharing links from my phone to my laptop to continue reading web pages or researching something on a bigger screen.

Do people still use emacs to code, for example?

Sure. Why wouldn’t they?
