Let’s not defederate from every corporate player. Some of them can probably respect reasonable rules of civility.
But fuck Meta. We already know how this plays out.
We know there’s a huge wave of hatred and misinformation incoming. We’ve seen it on their other platforms.
Yeah. I’ll switch to an instance that is defederated from Threads, if mine doesn’t.
I left Meta’s other properties to avoid state sponsored hate speech. I won’t use a platform that gives hate speech a platform.
I don’t need to wait to know if Meta will do that. I already know.
I’m all for companies participating in open source communities… but this is the company that routinely blocks me from viewing my aunt’s reposts of Russian state sponsored racist propeganda just because I don’t install the incredibly invasive mobile app.
I can imagine a few ways that this could go wrong…
I assume you mean to check on his often they’re is the breaking changes? :)
Declarative style isn’t perfect, but it’s a massive improvement from straight bash scripting.
I think you’re looking for Ansible. Have fun!
The difference between an Anible playbook and a script, is Ansible has a ‘check’, ‘change’, ‘verify’ pattern, and is declarative (meaning that once the playbook is made, it tends to keep working on future versions of Ansible.)
Awesome. Thanks!
It’s the year of the Linux desktop! /s
But seriously, I think I’m going to buy a SteamDeck.
Would it be enough to be able to run .deb packages on fedora?
Unpacking a .deb on Fedora, or unpacking an .rpm on Ubuntu isn’t a big deal. The files inside are often actually identical.
But would not be useful because the files inside usually rely on shared libraries, which may or may not already be installed. Those shared libraries are installed in different places on each Linux distro. Figuring out which ones to ask for (and making sure the program can find them) is the real work that the .Deb or .RPM installers do.
A fun way to try this out is with Portable Apps. Anything called a “portable app” either doesn’t use additional libraries, or carries the libraries it needs with it.
If you find a portable app for Ubunutu, there’s a good chance the Fedora version is an identical file, and works fine on Ubuntu. There’s lots of reasons it might not work, but it can be fun to try.
For the most part, the only reason any Linux program is unavailable on a different version of Linux is that no one has bothered to build the necessary installer for that combination of program and OS.
.RPM was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match .Deb was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match (about 60% actually do). I think Flatpacks and Snaps might solve this by being universal, at some point…
Source: I’ve built installer packages for various operating systems.
That’s the most evil thing I’ve heard in awhile, and I would absolutely make use of it anyway.
You’re right on all points.
I hope we at least get lots of lazy news reporting that refers to the lead actor as playing the part of “Zelda” - ideally live streamed and in-person, in front of the actress who plays “Zelda”.
“Well sorrrrryyyy, Princess.”
Based on my experience with venture capital, I’m not convinced venture capital has ever produced anything worthwhile.
I’m excited to give it a try.
That’s right.
But only because “Vim vs Emacs” is a technically a religious holy war.
why must they all be foreign memes from the Americas?
We have the best memes. We are a meme force to be reckoned with.
Also, we’re desperate for some mirth to lighten the burden of how horrible some of our politicians are.
Nice. Your excellent suggestion probably belongs in a meta-package somewhere so that users get it for free when appropriate.
I learned that lesson on a Snorlax, and so I have not thrown a Masterball since. Sure, I’ve got a complete Pokedex, and this appears to be a perfect stats shiny legendary, but that’s no reason for me to waste a Masterball.
I have a Snorlax in a Masterball somewhere, and I can attest - it also felt bad to get to Zapdos and try to use “REST” to make up for not having a Masterball. Lol.
As part of the eternal September myself, we didn’t just use AOL disks as coasters, we used them for awesome pranks like filling eachother’s cars to the brim with them. It was truly astonishing how many of those disks were around.
