These posts are always so funny to me, because it implies you were completely happy with what the US has been funding for at least a year but now you want to talk about tax avoidance?

Fascinating stuff. I’m glad we’re entering this new era of Linux application compatibility! And all through the honorable work of developers who are doing stuff just for the fun of it.

Deadlock! At least until I inevitably remind myself that multiplayer games are all bullshit and go back to enjoying SP games again.

I don’t think speed is an issue. They’re larger but all software loads dependencies from disk, flatpaks just have them bundled into a different location.

Snap did have some loading time issues but in terms of performance, I don’t think there was much measurable difference.

is bsd safe from this? where is their foundation based?

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/linux-fellow-bans-university-contributing-kernel Or just suggest they back door the kernel to an American university

yup. these so called “open” projects are being kneecapped in the name of American empire and Linus is celebrating it.

it isn’t like Americans would do that, right?

he’s just an American nationalist at heart. his dad was a member of the Russian communist party and his biography seemed to make clear that rebelled from that.

socially he’s not terrible but when the war drums come beating he’s stepping in line for the stars and stripes

the foundation should have moved long ago but I think Linus’ personal adoration of the US is going to get in the way of that.

Linus is an absolute cunt for not only following this gleefully but then attributing pushback to “russian trolls” and “state propaganda” fuck you man.

These people weren’t the MIT pricks who inserted vulnerabilities into the kernel, they were contributors who did hard work and helped advance FREE software. Linus is now turning his back on the GPL and manning it clear that Linux can be controlled by the US state on a whim.

“turn this place into an echo chamber” motherfucker Lemmy world has 10 times the users, and the only “echo chamber” shit I see is insistent Kamala Harris cope and seethe whenever someone mentions Israel or Palestine.

Meanwhile Lemmy . world mods change the TOS to spite individual communities, ban discussion of piracy despite it being perfectly legal and present on a different instance! Grow up.

Every influx of users and the usual suspects who are DESPERATE to have Lemmy turn into Reddit start pissing and shitting themselves that maybe their American liberal opinions arent dominant anymore.

This shit is pathetic.

why the fuck did they re-enable autoplay? it was a terrible idea when they did it years ago and they quickly disabled it.

It’s a VPN thing. I have a work VPN that gives me the same error on piped API front ends like piped.video

If I use my regular device without a VPN the alt front ends work fine.

Lmao as a flutter dev I’d be down for it

Eh nothing really, but if you don’t have a Ventoy set up and you just need an image burned it’s more convenient to just use balena or something else.

ventoy is nice in that I can just dump ISOs to a single USB and take it around, but balena is one of many boot media tools that’s useful if you need a single ISO for a system - fast.

not even sure distro tube has this many lmao
