  • Because app manager doesn't work well. And there are the feedback on terminal that tell you about missing dependencies or broken packages...The fact you get those verbose log help for doing web research and solve lot problems. On GUI installing app isn't well done : it's slow, they don't tell you what they are doing nor why it fail.

    The only limitation of terminal is when you want to work with file system. I need to see the tree and typing ls -a everytime isn't efficient. Example, i'm doing a git clone on a server throught ssh. But i have no way to know its structure and check if i downloaded it in the correct directory. I need a visual that tell me this folder is here, has those writing permission, is a tar archive... So i use both : filezilla and terminal, gui and cli. In fact, they are both very useful, so there no point comparing gui and cli, they both serve well their purpose.

    I'm using CLI and GUI. For example, if i want to chose the correct keyboard and check its mapping : gui. If i want to add sources and its gpg key : app manager gui. There is no way i would enjoy typing this huge command line with flags from my mind, and i do lot mistype. Or installing the stack lamp ? on windows it was amazing and faster than linux. next, next, done.

    Luckly we can copy-pasta those commands.

    Edit : updated my text.

  • Thank for the laugh 😁👍

  • I apologize, i tought the post was published on one of the french lemmy's intance jlai.lu. That's strange because i'm not subcribed to this community...Well, i just replied without checking first.

    I wondered who was the president during Rwanda's genocide in 1994. And it was Mitterand, a socialist. (Which surprise me a lot, usually right president are the worst). During my childhood there weren't any history lesson on Rwanda yet.

    According to the newpapers Le Point, Mitterand knews along few people and continued taking bad decision altough some people warned him about the Rwanda current regime and risk.

  • Edit : Someone explained the meme to me. Sorry I often miss the point with memes. X)

    Anyways, thank for helping us fighting climate change. â˜șïžđŸ‘

  • Good point, i didn't see that from that angle :)

  • Even if Mozilla don't have a huge marketshare, they were behind Rust language. :)

  • i think humanoid robot are inefficient. We shouldn't follow the blueprint of human body but give them legs and arms that are suited for mechanical move and metal structure so they are easier to maitain and repair.

  • That's just crazy...Given my IT knowledge, I would be a Bantha fodder...I'm not sure i would be able to see those registry being written in the system log as my main skill is doing a search several time until i undertand what were the correct words for this case and try few command. Let's see the first step would be disconnecting the wifi. And maybe use Kali ? Dunno.

    Well that's very scary, i apologize. Thank for sharing your story :)

  • Well, that depend a lot on how do you setup security.

    On nextcloud, i can see which device are connected to it, who, when, where and i get alert mail. When you add a new devices, as it is in the settings you will need your password. You might want to extend this security to usb storage with an isolated environnement. So all you need is a dashboard.

    The solution i suggest is also a security in case of hardware faillure. How many people do a backup and copy their important file regulary ? I think i'm just making their life easier by hardcoding it. For me it's as brushing my tooth, it's not mandatory, but it's better to make it mandatory.

    My vision of the future is having an os that’ll install itself on any device I own whether the manufacturers want me to or not. I want to own the things I own.

    Same but i differ. I don't want any kind of device to exist to reduce our footprint's carbon. Eg :

    I would limit phones to 3 models and remove all brand. No ads needed, nor announcement. Something low tech. There would be lot benefit on the software side and repairability. It's easier to maitain and it leaves our hand free to improve the OS

  • Yes and i didn't reinvent the whell. However, I still remind people to do backup accross those devices. It's not news but it's not well applied by lot people, so i would hardcode it into the OS.

    • Do you have a phone ?
    • Please scan qr code
    • Choose folders
    • Do you have a mass storage device ?
    • Connect it
    • Chose folders
    • Warning : you haven't setup any backup
    • Warning : your last backup was last week. please connect your mass storage device to save your backup.

    So, for something new, i would like to improve those utilities/tools and expand their use.

  • Ahah yeah but completely integrated in the OS so we do need to remind people to save their important data in 3 differents supports. I'm pretty sure people don't do thoses saves. Except techies and people who learned it the hard way.

    And a better UI where you can setup the folder space as a disk manager. eg : don't save video on my phone. Limit the folder to 1gb on phone. And on external mass storage, share everything : 1tb

    I think there is lot potential and that Syncthing should be integrated in the GNU/Linux's core.

  • An immutable OS that run all app whatever are their package distribution.

    Later a full OS rewritten in Rust with goods tools that share folder's content accross all devices and mass storage device as syncthing do.

    Let's imagine a button where you click on add devices, then you scan the QR code and chose which folder you want to share. :)

  • That depend.

    On the mental side, you can stop watching those news. They will basically tell you the same thing, again and again.

    The only real news will be when they stop.

    You should care because these human are killed. We may reach a third world wars. Or see an increase of fuel price ? Anyway, it will impact us.

    On the other way, you are watching it from a very distant land. So you can focus on your area, local community and don't give a damn, it's fine too, we can't be everywhere. Or give support to those civilisian under bombe strike.

  • No. You might want to move in a country where we don't tip ? 😅

  • There is also nextcloud deck. It's minimal but enough. Kanboard is also an alternative and there is another one but i forgot its name.

  • Thank a lot for your help :)

  • Well, thank for this enlightement. Guess if i haven't stumbled on this post, i would never knew from other people's perspective.

    Well, I often use this apology : "I'm sorry you fell that way..." to acknowledge that people don't have the same kind of sensibility. Some things hurt me but won't and will never hurt you and vice-versa. And that's normal.

    I do it as i think it's the norm while feeling sorry. I don't know how they interact, i mostly copy-pasta while i'm doing my best to repair my mistake and improve things.

    So, the sentence wasn't about myself but the inherently human's feeling and interaction.
