holy bejeezus, I would not go anywhere near that. Qt is not a programmer's dream but it's a hell of a lot better

Figure out your mass deployment strategy and the tooling that you'll need to support it. The reason why Ubuntu and rhel are popular in these kinds of sectors is because of this tooling

I work in a company that deals with both commercial and government (military) software. The government is becoming more and more fixated on the software supply chain, or sw dependencies so to speak.

Existing dependencies are largely getting a pass for now, but with each new one I need to give a justification for. This includes the license of that software. I can't use GPL at work.

This.

From the perspective of software preservation, we need this. Sometimes we won't have the source, and just need it to work while also getting security updates.

From the perspective of software delivery: read up on JangaFX's recent article about this topic and the problems they run into delivering software in the present

Does anybody know why ARM laptops can't provide the same device tree info as all x86 devices?

sucks to hear, but thanks for your info!!

I figure that people are able to tell from context that I mean GNU/Linux

Sounds like it's possible, but maybe with a backup phone. Unfortunately I do have some apps that I need to be able to run which only support iOS and android

Nextcloud seems like the first set of office tools that has a chance to actually compete with the entirety of Ms office. They still have a long ways to go, but it's a hell of a lot better than just stock libreoffice

Great. I've been using matrix just for myself, but our local dance group went to discord because FB was being such a pain to deal with

Thanks, I'll check it out

The only thing holding me back from asking for an Ubuntu laptop at work is email certificates that we need to install on windows for outlook. Otherwise I'd love to be able to switch

They don't even let us install wsl2, so annoying

recently got asahi running on an m1 macbook pro. loving the battery life that I get out of it

for an entire year's worth of development, I honestly would have expected more. Good to see that improvements are being made, but still, it's pretty small

hopefully the US doesn't keep being stupid about RISCV lmao

this is great news! we definitely need corporate backing here

Bilt is backed by Wells Fargo I'm pretty sure. All of their other communication has been through email, it's just this one thing

Context: I'm trying to get points for rent

I'm guessing that it's going to be hard for us outside of China to have a good idea of just how much has been deleted

im back

PC version. It had some weird bugs when it came to me putting in our income and looking like it duplicated stuff, but at the end it showed everything just fine.

Got my tax return recently, was a good chunk too compared to last year which was nice

I used H&R block this year because my wife is a contractor and I don't understand the rules in that scenario lol

Thanks for the info!
